uORRfD MURDER!

Some time during the last winter, JAMES CAR
RADIUS, Esq, of Charles City County, mysteriously
disappeared and The public was induced by the re-
presentations Of some Of the members Of the family
10 believe that he had been accidentally drowned IN
the Chickabominy river. The public, however,
gave wav 10 this delusory impression. but for short
time. Circumstances were speedily disclosed which
awakened strong suspicion IN the public mind,
that this unfortunate and III fatcd individual had
been murdered, and that, too, by an inmate Of his
own family. Every day and every week tended TO
ngthen the conviction of the truth of this sus-
pIcion, ubtil at length, the citizens in the neigh
borhood determined 10 institute rigid investi-
CATION into the whole Affair." and strip it, if posi-
ble Of that mystery in which it had been so long
developed. They accordingly had the suspected
individual, Benskin Hopkins, son-in-law OF the I'M
fortunate Carfadus, arrested, together with several
servants which belong TO the plantation, and carried
before II Justice of the Peace for examination.
The evidence in the was strong, that the
magistrate determined 10 commit to jail the master
spirit of this tragical drama, and his accompce john
there 10 await further trial. Hopkins was admit
Ted to bail and when the day of his trial arrived he
failed to make his appearance. His guilty CON
science bad doubtless whispered within him, that in
his instance, at least, prudence the better part
ofvalor," aud he determined to heed its wise and sal
utary admonious. But his poor, ignorant AMI I'M
fortunate accompliee was upon his uial convicted
aud condemned 10 be hung. Upon the recommen-
datioD oil the Court, however, the Executive has
commu,ed his punishment to transportation. After
his condo mnaton, he made public confession oil
the whole matter, from which it appeared that Capt
Carradas bad been deliberately shot down by his
wIles SON, Benskin Hopkins, whilst engaged
IN his domestic pursuits, and wholly uncon-
soous of the approach of danger. That he ass SIZED
Hopkins to drag the body of his iiieless victim
whilst welterlng in It's gore, 10 an adjacent marsh
wheie il WAS buried in the mud His hat and coat
were taken and sunk in the mud, hard by the spo
where they had deposited the corpse OF their IL latet
victim. The negro conducted the gentlemen OF th,
neigboihood TO the place where the body, coat ant
bat had been deposited They succeeded in finding
the coat and hat. aud were informed that the bod,
had been removed by Hopkins to some secret spot.

that courier arrived at hlatamoras the 9TH inst.
