of. We reached the residence Of Mat
thew Harm before noon, and found
both him and Croft there. They were
frightened when the officer arrested them,
but offered no resistance though they
might have done so had they known how
much evidence we were likely to bring
against them. They were taken to the
inn, and, from there, sent forward under
a sufficient guard to Columbia. A COM
pany was then collected, and We went out
to the wood to see if We could find the
old aDeH,' of which | had heard the prison.
ers speak. One of the party remembered
that there used to be a house near the
spot where the murder had been done,
and under his direction the search was
commenced. The place where the house
had stood was found, and ere long we
found the well. 1t was very deep, and
covered with fallen logs and bushes.
Grappling-hooks were procured, and
three dead bodies were fshed out from
the shiny waterl One of them was much
decomp0sed but the other two were not
SO far gone but that the innkeeper could
recognize them as men who had stopped
over night at his house only a few monshs
before.
The next movement of the sheriff was
to arrest Mrs. Harm and her daughter,
and also the wife and young son of Isaac
Croft. They were taken at once to Co.
lumbia, and there confined separately.
1.-TWO days after this my brothers trial
came on, and he was acquitted without
difficulty. But not so with the two wit.
nesses who had caused his arrest. They
were tried upon an indictment for murder,
and the evidence was SO strong against
them that hardly a shadow Of defence
was made ard when they were fully
convicted, Croft made a confession. He
acknowledged that he and Harm had
murdered the traveller, and had Just rob-
bed him when they heard the tramp of a
coming horse. They had barely time
enough to empty the purse and throw it
down, and make off into the woods. when
my brother came up. When they saw
him %dismount, and commence to examine
the corpse, the idea entered their heads
of fastening the crime upon him. They
had two objects in this first, to shift
the present crime from their own should
ers and second, to turn suspicion from
themselves in case the previous murders
should come to light. But they failed in
their plans, and in due time met the fate
they so richly deserved.
by the time we got clear of the Kick.
man Court, my brother was willing. to
come back with me. His first experience
in the West had made him kind of home
sick, and he fancied he would rather live
where his known good character might
be of some avail against the false swear.
ing of perjured rastals."
