The true Democrat., 1855-08-28

of her sentence was all the work of Sheriff Price and his family, designed to add still more to her.mscry by terrible persecution.
 Sheriff Price and his family have treated the poor woman with the utmost kindness ever since her incarceration in prison. They have allowed her privileges that might with proprie- ty have been denied prisoner convicted of murder They are fully convinced, as are her counsel, and all who have seen her freouently since her imprisonment, that she was and is now an insane woman. And the fact that she has most abused those to whom she is indebted for constant kindness while in jail, goes to estab- fish the conviction that she is insane.
 In the state of mind we have always found Mrs. Robinson, she was certainly incapable of practising the deceit and trickerv which have been so freely attributed to her. Her plans were not consistently designed, her views were confused and inconsistent, and her assumptions and assertions frequently contradictory.
 Having had previous notice that she was to be taken away in the course of the day on Sat- urday last, Mrs. Robinson made careful pre- parations to celebrate her departure with bon fire and illumination. For that purpose, she had collected the contents of her bed and oth- CT combustbles together in her window, and had the matches ready to ignite the pile at the yroper time. Of course, all these plans were frustrated, and the materials removed. Sheriff Price having made arrangements to take her to Sing Sing by the Hudson river train leaving at f o'clock, she was taken in carriage to the depot by Sheriff Price, assisted by Dr. Hege- man. The matter was kept quiet, in order to avoid crowd and excitement. Quite a num- Der of persons, however, assembled, who man. ifested great curiosity to get sight of her, which the most fortunate could only do through her veil. When leaving her room. on her way to the carriage, she was highly excited and an- grv, and scolded the sheriff and his family roundly, appearing to be in very bad humor- On her way to the cars she burst out laughing, and suddenly changing into her angry mood, she fell to crying. On reaching the cars, She riff Price took sole charge of her to Sing Sing. When the cars started she soon asked if they were not going to take her home to her friends, saying to the Sheriff, " Y ou are going to take me homo, ain't you?' She then described the scenery on Lake Champan, the islands in the river, and Canada. She suddenly changed to scolding and laughing alternately. She would then look out of the cars, and break forth into rhapsodies upon the beauty and grandeur of the river scenery. Again ask if she were not going home. These changes took place sever al times on her passage down. In reply to one of her questions, the sheriff frankly told her where she was going to-that he was taking her to Sing Sing. She was greatly moved, and declared that she would not remain in prison lrng- that she should kill hersef- that he would soon hear of her death.
 At times she seemed perfectly bewidered, and frequently when she would ask whether she was not going home, she seemel really in earnest in the belief that she was on her way there. Again she would speak in a rational manner. She was very much troubled about her clothes. She was afraid they would make her put on prison clothing. She wanted to wear her own clothes, and when they were gone she would get more. She wished the sheriff to interccdc with the prison officers for her. She alluded frequently to the picturesque scenery along the route, and expressed wish that it was fair day and she had pencil and paper to make sketches. Her actions and talk on this subject were very simple and child like.
 When at Poughkeepsie, she expressed a wish for some refreshments, she partook of them in . very decorous and lady like manner. AL thou-,h very few of the passengers were aware who she was, she was under the impression that every body knew her, and seemed very
 
 herself closely yelled all the time, until after dark.
 Before reaching Sing Sing, she appeared ve- " much exhausted and weary. On arriving there she was quite bewildered, asking ire quently where she was When she entered the office of the prison, the sheriff announced her name, the officer in charge not happening to be present, and party of young ladies and De.pt baip bo greet her very cordially. She turned to the sheriff and exclaimed, "What queer people these are: they have no manners.' She then begged to be taken home-she did not wish to stay ill such a place and among such folks She repeated her request to be taken home, and urged the sheriff to have her brother William come after her. She enjoined this message up- on him several times.
 Soon the officer came in and proceeded to ask her the usual questions as to her age, birth place, etc. At this procedure she laughed im- moderately. Turning to Sheriff Price, she said: "Why the man is crazy" The officer scoded her and commanded her to answer him correctly. She continued to laugh heartily When he asked her age, she declared she would not tell him. In answer to the question as to her birth place, she said she. was born in Que bee. This was the only answer she would make to any of the questions put to her. He threatened her with cold water, but she only answered with laugh. He finally reinquish- ed his efforts and postponed the matter, saying to her that if she did not answer the next time, she would get cold water. She laughed again, saying 10 Sheriff Price, " that fellow is crazv''
 The officer then took a small package she had brought, and on opening aud examining it, ne found among some toilet articles small rope the size of {, bed -cord and about five feet long, coled up.
 She was then escorted by the officer and she riff to the female prison, where they met the matron. Here, after telling her that she would be kindly cared for, and giving her assurances, calculated to soothe and quiet her, Sheriff Price took his leave, and the prison gate closed on Mrs. Henrietta Robinson the 'Veiled Mur- deress,'' for ever.
