A. Alleged COnfesrion-How the murder

Al Alleged ConfessiOn-How the Murder vv.
Committed. W.
Tne melancholy tragedy which commenced wit
.e huroer OF Mrs. Hill and ended with the suicid
Of George s. Twitchel, Jr., in his cell on the nch
previous 70 his appointed execution, would seem 4
have no ending as far az reports about its variou
setalls are concerned. During the past few hours
Iamor OF full confession by the suicide to hi
voAhse mas been widely circulated, and on tracing 4
iB source, we regard 1t rs OF sufficient importance
and reliability to be laid before the public. 1t Is
necessary 10 state in advance however that Twit-
cheifs counsel feel unable TO give the public any
srect light the subject being bound, by the rules
Of professional etiquette not to dvulge any secrets
oonnded TO them by their client.
The confession which Twitchell is reported to have
made to his counsel is substantially as folows:-
On the day previous to the murder OF Mrs. Hill
Twtche, bent upon effecting her death with his
ewn hands, made q slung-shot at his place OF busi-
ness In Camden. With this murderous weapon he
struck the old lady a formidable blow, no one but
the actors in the tragedy being present, and then,
nnasssted, threw the body from the window into the
yard. He then walked down stairs into the yard,
and proceeded to wash the blood from his hands at
the hydrant While 50 engaged he noticed that
near him still exhibited manifestations of life AS
soon as this discovery was made he fastened into
the house, entering the kitchen first The first muir
derous weapon which he encountered here was the
poker found near the body of the murdered woman
This he seized, and hurTyng back to the yard dealt
the dying woman another blow on the head finishing
the murderous work He then repaired to his room,
and the deed was discovered in the manner with
which the public is already familiar.
Such is the substance OF the alleged confession,
and give it for what 1t is worth 1t will not be
amtss, however, to recall circumstance which tends
in some measure to confirm this story. Mr. Mann,
ON the trial OF Twitchel endeavored to prove that
and not the poker. II, as reported, Mr..
Mann really knew that slung-shot did the work his
