Arson I'm the E1rst De- vree.

The Court Of General Sessions was ca owded yesrecs
day morning TO witness the sentencing Of James Shep
herd who had been convicted on Monday last ~ arson
in the first degree he having wfuiiy set fire to'ts
house, when his wife perished in the flames. u ~
supposed that he murdered her before setting fire ID
the prruises, as she was a strong and healthy
woman, and would have been abundantly able TO
have escaped II she had been alive.
On being asked by the clerk why sentence Of
death should not be pronounced upon him
Shepherd said:-Well, your honor, will speak
the truth before God and the world say and con
fess before God and this congregation or assembly
as will stand before God in the morning of the re-
surrecton, and God shall judge the thoughts Of my
beart-where there can be no denial, for God shall
see the inmost thoughts of my heart-that am in
nocent; am not guilty of this charge laid to me.
am innocent
Recorder Smith proceeded in a lengthy address t,
pass sentence, which was az foows:-The sentence
oi the Court is that you be taken from this place to
the place from whence you came; that you remain
there until the Sth day of February and upon that
day that you he hanged by the neck until you are
dead.
During the latter part of his address his Honor's
voice was tremulous, and IL evident that he as
wen as the crowded audience which listened to hs
remarks with great attention, felt the solemnity OF
the occasion.
When the Recorder had concluded, Shepherd ex-
claimed Thank God, am going home, and | am
going home innocent
The Clerk then handed the death warrant to his
Honor who, after appending his signature to it, re-
turned II again. As soon ~ Mr.. Vandevoort had
finished reading the warg1ul 2 execution he gave il
to Mr.. Wiliett, the Sherig 80 was in attendance.
The prisoner was reno yed by the officers to the
Tombs, aud was followed ly the curious multitude.
Tho Court adjourned till Monday,
