The fate Of Mrs. Aston, the accomplished
lady Of Governor Aston, of South Carolina,
and daughter of Aaron Burr, has been slroud-
ed in mystery, for more than twenty years.
Occasionally, indeed, some CLEANS of light
have been thrown around her melancholy
,nd and the belief is that she fell "A victim To
IlraiIcal atroclly. Sum three years ago. it
was currently reported that II man residing in
Unc OF the interior counties oithis state, made
some disclosures on his death bed, which
went to confirm the confessions previously
made by culprit OF the gallows, that the
vessel in which Mrs. Aston sailed, was scut-
tied for the sake of her plate and Effects
The following article, which we copy from
the Alabama Journal, goes-to throw some adj
dltional light on the subject. The facts
mentioned IN IT, are new 10 us, and will be,
probably, to most Of our readers:
CONFESSION OF PIRATE.--The public. no
doubt, remembers the story of the daughter
Of Aaron Burr, who was the wife of Governor
Aston, of South Carolina. On the return of
her father from Europe, about the year 1912,
she embarked from Charleston on visit to
him at New-York, on board II prvnteer built
vessel, and was never heard of alterward.-
IL seems that her friends at frst thought the
vessel had fallen into the hands of pirates,
and afterwards concluded that it was wreck
ed and lost. 1t appears from the statement
of respectable merchant, Of Mobile, that a
man died in that city recently, who confessed
TO his ply sician on his dying bed, that he had
been pirate and helped to destroy the ves-
sci and all the crew and passengers. on
which Mrs. Alston, had embarked for New.
York. lie declared, says this gentleman,
that after the men were all killed, there was
MI unwillingness on the part of every pirate,
to take the lie Of Mrs. Aston, " no had not
resisted them or fought them, and therefore
they drew lots who should perform the deed.
AZ it had to be done. The lot fell on this
pirate, who declares ta he effected his oh.
j ct of putting the lady to death, by laying
plank along the edge of the ship, half on it
and half off, or over the edge, and made Mrs.
Alston walk on that plank, till it tilted over
i,to the water with her. The dying pirate
requested his physician to make tins story
public, but his surviving family will not per-
nit or consent that the name Of the deceased
should be known.
The above tae was repeated over and over
by the merchant, before mentioned in the
presence OF n number of gentlemen, whose
names can be- given. lie said he received it
from the physician himself, with no other in
junction To secrecy. than that he should not
disclose the name of the physician, for the
prrsci.,. On being asked if the Physician
Was man of veracity and respectabity, he
replied there was no on more so in Mobile.
The merchant was warned that his story
would get into the newspapers, to which he
made no objection.
