Edward Nelson, IN August last, COM
menced before the Superior Court, now
in session IN this city, on Friday and
closed at ! O'clock, p. NJ, on Saturday
The prisoner is II negro,and the murdered
man was Pequod Indian. The hom-
icide was committed in the course OF a
drunken revel at the hovel of an old
squaw named Betsey Smith, n the town
OF Ledyard, and the circumstances alten-
ding il were OF the most atrocious charac-
ter on the part of the prisoner. There
could be no doubt the crime committed d
was murder 10 its worst form, and the
jury returned in very short time after
retiring, with verdict of" ".nwdcr IN M e
first Degree" Guilty as Jackson is OF
this foul murder, he is, morally speaking
not the most guiliy.-The murder is
almost solely ascribable TO Rum, and
the man who sold il 10 the murderer on
Sunday, knowing the character Of tn
company and Of the place where it was
TO be used, will, il he has The proper
feelings of his nature about him, hardly
