GREENS CONFESSIONS. TrOu BUDGET of Sat-
urday gives inkng of the purport Of Green's
confessions 10 Messrs Van Keeck and Baldwin-which
by tho way proper to say have not been pub
lic either in full any beiore-the affair got
up here being romance.
The only point of Importance relates to the motive
the mstgatng causes to the commission of the murder
Ihe CONCESSION II appears entirely exonerates the moth
er, and indeed every body but hmse-the first circum
stance which led him to think of it being ocose
mark made by one OF the seghng party upon which he
put a serious and wrong constrncton-6eng an int-
nation as to another union, in he became widow
er-asuggestion seems which took such strong hold
OF his mnd that 1t left no room for remorse or msgv-
\ ing.
From the Troy Budget Sept 1871
The confession Of Henry G. Green, announced
by the Rev Mr. Van Keeck the time ofthe execution
was made to the Rev. Mr. Baldwin and himself It was
said by the reverend gentleman first named Greer made
this confession fully, freely and frankly" In regard to
this matter the public very naturally well very
properly, feel an intense interest In this confession,
Green not only acknowledges his guilt and the justice
of the sentence he has suffered but he divuges matters
OF thrilling interest which have not yet appeared before
the public eye. He acknowledges the motive which
prompted him to commit the act He states the circum-
stance which first led him to the thought of murder
Here we would state that the conectures that gene
rally formed upon this point are wrong They have al
ready narrowed up the feelings of entirely innocent
according to Green's most solemn asseveraons had
influence whatever upon him. We rejoice at this disco
sure Tor the sake OF one who deserves the deepest sym
pathy Of the community and who has already suffered,
and still continues to suffer the keenest anguish
Green states the feelings he entertained towards his
period of the circumstance above alluded which led
him to first think of doing the TERRIBLE edalso his
feelings after that circumstance and during the awful
period of her sickness. We glad to say, that he
does full justice to the memory OF the poor who
was sent by his act into eternity lie states what he
administered to his wife besides when and
under what circumstances he procured the He
states events that took place during that fatal sleigh ride
to Hoosc. lie states when he had the first feelings of
remorse for his crime But to the corrections:
Green states that his first thought of murder du
ring the Hoosic sleigh ride and that the circumstance
which gave rise to that thought was something said TO
him by girl on that occasion. He declines mentioning
manner exculpates her from all blame. What she said
to him was said in jocose manner upon which he put
| altogether n wrong construction Here then have
the motive which actuated him From the moment this
motive seized upon him. he lost sight oil every thing but
his wife, the hand of the young lady in question:
He was fully persuaded in his mind that she would
have married him in the event of his becoming widow
He says that this thought took such perfect posses
sion of his mind that it entirely precluded all feelings
OF OF remorse while he was performing the deed The
him, for the he says, that he did not know the
stomach could be analysed. The first feeling of remorse
that he had was when his wife refused TO take medicine
at his hands. Thus it will be seen, that out of the
cumstance of something said to him by girl" during
the foesic sleigh ride grew the motive which prompt
cd him to the thought OF murder.
The first that Green administered to his wife two
opium pills. This is entirely new point in the case 1t
was not disclosed in the testimony. 1t will be remem.
bered that he went to Dr. Hull after pills to give his
that instead Of giving her these pills he gave her two
opium pis-that these pills contained arsenic--that
IN OF their being too large dose to accom-
plsh the fell purpose he had in view, vomiting pro-
duced, and they were thrown off the stomach. 1t
after this that he administered arsenic.
And here is new and interesting point 1t has been
generally supposed that he procured the paper of
mic the Sunday Daniel f. Dennson furnished him with
oats for his horse This mistake Green says
ne got the arsenic at time when the store open
and that he silly and unperceived by any put his
hand into the jar, and took one paper OF arsenic
These corrections embrace the points in Green's
confession The other points contained in the trial.
as published in this paper, with which the public are
| familiar.
