AN OLD MAN CONVICTED OF POISONING
HIS WIFE.-The trial Of Benjamin Teacbout,
an old man OF sixty years, for the murder of
bis wife, at Eagle, Wyoming County, N. Y,
occupied the attention OF the Court of Oyer
and Terminer-Judge Davis-all of last week.
The trial commenced on Monday, and on
Friday the jury returned a verdict Of murder
in the first degree, and on Saturday morning
Judge DAVIS sentenced Teachout to be hanged
ON the 18th day of November next
Teachout is q well to do farmer, is certainly
Of ege, and has long been a member of the
Baptist Church. From the evidence it ap.
pears that Teachouts wife had become an
Invalid, and as he thought, burden which it
were well to be rid of. The sickly wife not
giving satisfactory intimation of dying soon
enough TO satisfy the wish of the old wretch,
Re expedited matters by administering poison
from time to time, mixing the same with her
anodynes. The hand that ostensibly soothed
sent poison, comparatively slow but sure,
through the weakened frame OF the woman,
till the vital powers were undermined and
death ensued. The greatest excitement pre-.
vailed at Warsaw during the trial, and the
verdict of the jury meets with universal ap.
probation.
