"a respectable citizen Of Hampshire County,

stable at the side Of the road, where the stage
stopped to change horses, and having obtained
permission Of the stage driver put his horse into
one of the stalls The driver at this time had
the four stage horses out before the door-three
of them were in q cluster, and few PAGES from
the door, the fourth was detached little dis.

Arnold was struck dead!-the three horses near
the stable door were killed, and the driver knock

several pieces were cut asunder as neatly as If it

the gaping crowd the felon's confession IA part
