TRACING A MURDERER

r,..-o not MANY persons who can CON-
-. r-oat crime and endure the consciousness
ot;t with entire selfpossession. Catherine de
Medicis may have done SO, and also Lucretia
Borgia with some other women whose terrible
greatness in crime has made them historical
There are some men too Of like nerves and ma
ture. But it is generally true that the
man who commits murder or any 9TH
er terrible crime, will Immediately after
wards betray himself. He may sin in secret
believing that nothing is more impossible than
discovery. And yet, as soon as he goes
among men, the irrepressible shiver of his
nerves and confusion Of his feelings immedl-
ately tell his secret to all the world, as surely
as if it were written on his forehead in scarlet
letters.
A very frightful murder has been perpetrat-
ed on board the sloop E. A. johnson, in the
lower bay of New York harbor. We have
published the main particulars of this murder,
and an account of the pursuit and arrest of
the murderer. At first thought, it seems that
the assassin might have escaped detection
with the utmost ease. He was alone with
his secret and why not slip ashore, and
quietly disappear from that neighborhood?
He tried to do so but his crime left unmis-
taxable traces all along his path, after he land
ed on Staten Island. 1t was as distinct and
sure as a bloody trail. With no other clue,
the detectives followed him to the city, and
then to Rhode Island, where he was arrested.
AT the landing where he first held conversa-
ton, after having committed the murders, he
behaved in tuch way as gave the first clue to
his identity. His incapacity to bear the con-
sciousness of crime with steady nerves made it
impossible for him to use ordinary shrewdness
and caution. He showed his money, volun-
teered improbable and contradictory accounts
of fhimself, and did just what was calculated to
rouse and justify suspicion.
Men who are tempted to crime, by the delu
sion that detection will be impossible, should
study such cases very carefully. When you
say to yourselves that detection is impossible,
you overlook those laws and characteristics of
human nature, which usually make conceal.
ment impossible. You cannot know how it is
with murderer until you have his crime on
your soul. This man johnson, alias Hicks,
has been fully identified The chain of Cir
cumstantial evidence, furnished entirely by
himself, is complete, and the testimony of the
many suspicious circumstances which pointed
him out as the murderer, has been fully con-
frmed by finding property of the murdered
men in his possession. Among the ar
ticles found on him, was Capt. Burr's
watch, daguerreotype of young lady which
was recognized as the property of one of the
young men on board the sloop and the bags
in which Capt. Burr had carried his money.
He perpetrated the murders and stole the
money, with entire confidence that he should
escape detection and yet, almost Immediately
after he came ashore, he was brought before the
United States authorities to be tried for pira-
cy. Murder will out"

From Washington,

WASHINGTON, March 27.-The govern
ment has not yet received sufficient informa-
ton to enable it to judge intelligently of the
merits OF recent affairs in the Gulf, and hence
the delay in answering senator Hale's call
upon the president for information. The re-
Gently published statements that the govern
ment will call on Spain for explanations as to
the fitting out the Miramon steamers at Ha-
vana is not well founded, there being no off
cal data to show that Spain is implicated with
Miramon, or which would justify such course
on the part Of the administration, even if there
were no other reasons why such explanation
should not be demanded.
Accounts continue to be received from the
south, that an army of Knights of the Golden

space for only the chief points The delegates made
reports from majority of the towns composing the
association which represent the cause as in an en-

the younger classes, in many of the towns, by the
organization of orders of the sons of temperance,
and of bands of hope. The agent for prosecuting
violations of the liquor law, in Gardner, had per-
formed his duties faithfully and been re elected for
the ensuing year. The resolutions adopted recog-
nize the great social and moral evils of intemper-
ance; re-afirm the central and fundamental prnci-
Piles of the movements not as an end but as an
agency for the regeneration and blessedness of man
kind; recommend the appointment of prosecuting
agents in the several towns, and denounce the
mon policy of interference with the due and regular
execution of the law.
