the murder of Serg't John Coffin, of same reg't,
on I'd july last: he was convicted and sentenced
TO be hung on Friday Both November next--his
sentence will be carried into effect at Prairie du
Chen, where he is now in confinement
The circumstances proved on trial, were, that
on the I'd of july the soldiers had been paid off,
and that Beckett got very much intoxicated, and
tor that was put into the guard-house, wA,re he
remained until late in the afternoon, who, upon
being released, went into the company quarters,
where he found loaded musket-that or SOL
diers were sent to dlsarm him, whom he threaten
ed to shoot. but desisted upon their expostulatng
with him--that Serg't Coffin came into the room,
and went to table to gel something from its
drawer-that he said no'hiag to prisoner nor pris-
oner to him, until the prisoner raised and level
led the musket at him and asked If he ,canted the
load Of that musket? and Immediately fired and
killed him nstantaneously. Beckett, upon being
asked before the jury of inquest, why he had
done so, said he had an old grudge against Coffin
