the charge, and 10 learn the result Of the case
Judge Parsons charged the Jury, occupying about
three quarters OF an hour. II was ertempore and

Murder Of Charpis--Ayvsst and Confession OF M,v.

JAMES GORDON BENNETT. ESQ
DEAR SIR
As there has been number OF rumors sfloat re-
specting the murder and robbery of our friend the
Mexican, Mr. Charvis, by band of despersdoes
from this neighborhood, and as all things of tAis
kind grow by repetition, have thought proper to
give You plain unvarnished account Of the partcu.
lars as they TRANSFERRED, accurately they can be
given by an eye witness.
Mr. Charvis was met by fifteen men, about one
hundred miles this side of Little Arkansas, on The
Great Plains, and in the territory and under the u-
iisdictlon OF the United States They took him
from the wagon, and intended, they say to let him
go but from his having set down 10 write, they
were fearful ne might get word to his friends of
what had taken place. So they came to the conclu-
sion 10 murder him To accomplish which, Media
MEL the captain, shot at him, and alter four shots
had been fired, he fell.
His company consisted OF six men, himself, and
five servants. They released the servants, provided
they would return TO Santa Fe, which they agreed
10 do, knowing they would meet with a second par.
~ coming in They have met them, and are now
within five days march of this place.
will how give you, as far possible, the names
OF those concerned in taking Mr. Charvis, viz =
two McDanlels, senior and junior; two Sarsrs,
senior and junior; two Browns senior and junior Dr.
Pretontaine, of Westport, VIM. Mason, OF Clay CO.,
and number OF DINERS whose names cannot now
remember Seven have already been taken, most
of whom have confessed, and the two McDanels
have been removed to st. Louis. The rests are now
in tie Independence PRISON. Mason was taken on
boat al this point, and at once confessed as he
fearful he might come under Lynch law, which they
are quite handy at in these lime stones.
We are all in good spirs, and expect TO be able
10 fight our way through to Santa Fe, and from
thence TO Chihuahu. b
