Statement of John b. Cough.
We present below, the confession OF Mr. John D.
Cough, prepared early as his health and strength
would permit 1t is direct and explicit, and we think
will be generally believed by candid people, The
statements are corro6oraed by other testimony as
far as there is any, except to the manner OF ms
getting to the house in Walker street, which Mr..
Cough states more uniavorabe TO himself than was
, represented by the women at the house, and IN a
. way much more likely to be true. The clrcumstan-
ces TO which there witnesses, are corrobora-
ted by the fact that they are just what Mr.. Cough
has asserted in all states of mind, from the time he
was found. 1t seems to that the public will re-
ceive the sentiments and feeling which are expressed
by Mr.. Cough, as Just and proper.
