One OF THE MISTAKES or THE LAw.-The
Baltimore papers announce the death in that
city ct negro named George Orem. Previous
to his decease he confessed that be murdered
the negro King, and that the negro Cyphus,
who was executed for the crime, was entire
ly innocent. Ihe murder and the execution
took place, and were described about two
years ago. The crime was perpetrated in
the street, and all the witnesses but one who
was weak-minded and not regarded as reli-
able, testified that Cyphus was the guilty
party. For a long time before Orcm's death
he was rarely able to sleep. Even when he
succeeded in closing his eyes, he was afflict ID
with horrible dreams, in which the tragedy
would be re-enaoted and he would suffer the
pains of death for the crime. The image of
his murdered victim followed him wherever
he went day and night, and no doubt to a
considerable degree, hastened his death.
