Enclosed please receive 10 100 dollar bills
on the York Bank, Saco, for the benefit of
your wife and family.
There were many circumstances connected
with this strange affair, which at the time
were considered very difficult to reconcile; but
this note seems to throw some light on the
matter when we consider that nearly the en-
tire amount was in 500 bills on the York
bank, the numbers of which were known at
the bank, and which could with difficulty be
got rid of without detection. We presume
the Nos of the returned bills correspond to
those stolen.

- American Methodism is not YET century old. In

most of these churches, having been newly erected,
rebuilt or re- modelled, and most of these vast OUTLAWS

PHILADELPHIA, March "a. The counsel for the
State, William B. Mann, Esq, summed up the evil
dence for the prosecution this morning, and was fol-
lowed by Joseph NJ. DOraL counsel for the prisoner.
In his opening he stated that he had in the SOL
emn manner, appealed to the prisoner to confess his
crime if guilty. but he had been met with the most
ervent proestaons OF Innocence, and was instructed
by his client to repeat his asseveatons to the jury.
Mr. Doran went into an examination of the lesi-
mony TO prove that the sons testimony cor
roboraed by the other Witnesses and asserted that
the evidence was stronger against the than tn e
father, he alone had themoney that the knife
his, and part of the sheath was in his possession
when arrested. He invoked the jury to give his
client the benefit of the doubts but if they believed
he was the monster, capable of killing his own coun-
trywomen to convict him.
At the close of Mr.. Doran's speech the court adj
iourned. Attorney General Reed will commence his
closing speech at o'clock.

bled at o'clock. Mr.. Reed, the Attorney General,
closed the argument in eloquent and brilliant
speech, giving his views and startling picture of
the scene of butchery with the two infants left by
the assassin to perish in the burning house. During
this recital the prisoner was dreadfully agitated,
crouching down in the dock, with both hands
ering his face, and apparently in tears.
Aferward, on application of his counsel, the jury
examined the legs of the prisoner to if they bore
any mark of the bite of dog upon them, in order
10 confirm the testimony of his in that respect.
Scratches were found that might have been made in
that way.
The charge to the jury then delivered by Judge
Allison. The jury retired at o'clock, and the court
adjourned 10 O'Clock.
