A MuRpERER sELr.GoNvIcrkp.-Abou, 81

A MURDERER SILF-CoNvIcTKD.-Abo six
years ago, girl named Lucinda McGinnis,
having been murdered near Utica, George and
Nowlan, two men Of the neighborhood, were
arrested and tried for the crime, but acquirted.
The principal witness against them was
George White, the girls lover, who affected TO
TESTIFY with great relu uctance. Immediately
after the trial, however, Whiue disappeared
from Oneida county, and did not return thither
until recently. During the war il appeATs
that he served In the Union army, but whittier
soever he went his guilty conscience cassed
not to torment him, and at length betrayed hum
into the hAAds Of justice. For on Monday
night ss he wandered mp and down the stairs
OF the City Hall in a state Of mental alteration,
he confessed TO the janitor who asked him
what was the natter, that he ives waiting for
Rosa whom he had killed. This avowal of
course led to his arrest, and though his friends
say that he wae suffering at the time from de.
lirium tremens, and that no credit ought TO be
given to his statement, yet it is highly probable
thot he is the real culprit and that he will be
convicted and executed for The foul deed.
