A GUILTY CONSCIENCE NEEDS NO hc-
CUsER.--The force of the above pro-
verb is strikingly illustrated, in the
following singular development of a
murderer, which We take from the
last number of the Ottawa Free Ira
der. But for the goadings of a guilty
conscience the culprit would doubt
less have escaped detec,ion---Era.
"On Thursday evening last, quite
an excitement prevailed in this place
respecting the arrest Of an individual
named George Thompson, who has
been acting in the capacity of ostler
at the Mansion House for the last
two weeks. Said Thompson, it ap.
pears, committed murder in Saadus-
Ky county, Ohio, obout Is months
sincc. by shooting a young lady man,
ed Catherine Hamblin. with a rifle.
he has, we understand, been once or
twice arrested before, but effected his
escape. His arrest in this place was
owing to his fear of apprehension by
a stage driver named Henry Reed,
whom he recognized as a person be-
ing acquainted with the circUmstan-
ces. He Immediately sought an in
terview with Reed, and besought him
TO remain quiet, although Reed had
not as vet recognized him. A few
hours afterwards Thompson was ar
rested by Mr.. Lukens and taken be-
fore Esq. Fitch. who committed him.
Since his confinement in jail he has
confessed his guilt"
