ing his soul as firmly to Booth az Faust to
Mephistophiles, and went in and fessted..-
Next morning Booth gave him money enough
to buy change Of clothing and keep him for
a week
Powell now began to be anxious to know
what plan it was to make him rich, but Booth
answered evasively il was the oil business
He knew we'll that he had to deal with des-
perate man he knew also that propositio
Of guilty character might be rejected.
Mr.. Dosier proceeded to describe and mar
rate, in animated language, the manner in
which Booth, step BY step, worked on the
mind Of his victim, depicting to prisoner the
wrongs Of the South and the guilt Of her op-
pressors, and wrought him up to pitch Of
frenzed passion TO avenge the wrongs Of his
country, and set himself right with bis coun-
trymen. who despised him as a recreant.-
Booth saw his victim was ready and hastened
to impart his mysterious plans.
The plan was to go to Washington, take a
ride with oonfederates TO the Soldiers Home,
capture the President, and deliver him to the
rebel authorities. On the evening Of the l4th
| Of April, at 8 o'clock, Booth told him the
hour had struck, placed in his hands the
( knife, the revolver and the bogus package Of
medicine, and told him to do his duty, and
gave him a horse, with directions to meet him
at Acnaosta bridge, and be went and did the
deed /. said Mr.. D., have asked him why
he did it, His only answer is, " Because |
belived it my duty"
Mr.. Doster argued that Payne, at the time
he committed the deed. had no will Of his
own, but had surrendered his will completely
| to Booth, under that infuence--that complete
supremacy Of one mind over another--tha,
has gone by various names among vsriou,
nations, and which we call mesmerism.

HORRIBLE TRAGEDY AT ROXBURY
MAsSAC SACHTJHETTS

On Monday the 18th inst, two children,
lsabella joyce, aged fourteen, and John s.
Joyce, aged twelve, left their mothers house
In Boston to go to Roxbury, and nothing had
been heard from them afterwards. On Sun
day two gentlemen were strolling in whataro
called Busseys woods, when they we're sud
denly startled by discovering the murdered
body Of the girl They at once notified the
city authorities, who Immediately proceeded
to the scene Of the tragedy. The only means
by which the body could be identified was the
clothing. Upon examination IL was discov.
cred that she had been outraged in fearful
manner and from the manner in which her
clothing was torn L was apparent that she
had violently resisted the assaults upon her
until overpowered. Murder followed, and
this was accomplished by beating and stabbing.
As incredible as it may seem, not less than
twenty-seven stabs we're inflicted upon her
body, mostly in the abdomen, any one Of
which was almost sufficient TO cause instant
death
After the body had been identified as that
Of Miss Joyce, and the circumstance made
known that her brother Johnny was also
missing, search was Immediately commenced
to ascertain what had become Of him. The
fearful snticipations that he too had shared
the same fate of his sister were soon a pain
full reality. After two OF three hours search
ing, his dead body was found only few rods
1 from the spot where his sister had been out
ragged and killed. Hewas lying on his face,
and death had been caused by several stabs
! inflicted with dirk or some similar instru-
menI, in the small Of the back
! Near the scene Of the daboical crimes were
\ found several wreathes Of flowers and ever
| sreens, wrought with great care and taste
They were apparently engaged in this innocent
amusement when set upon by The brutal muir
derers. When they left home each had ter
cents, but only three cents was found with
them yesterday. They bad probably spent
I the rest to pay their fare in the horse GERS.
I As might be expected most intense feel.
! ing OF sympathy is felt for the only surviving
/ parent. a soldiers widow, and Of indignation
/ towards the unknown perpetrators, and re-
wards have been offered by different parties il
Roxbury and Boston amounting In all tC
S5500 for the apprehension Of the villain. l
is probable that these will be increased by
subscripuon, as there is disposition to spar,
no pains or expense to discover the foul per-
