was left ia his cell, at 2 o'clock, by
Rev. Mr.. Brink hurst In company
with two Catholic priests who had
been on a visit to Eaton's cell. The
keepers removed everything from
TwItchell's cell except tin cup, at
which Twitchell smiled and mace a
jocular remark. At twenty minutes
past FIVE the watchman found him in
an apparently deep sleep. lie shoe k
him, aud fould life extinct. 1t has
been ascertained that Twitchell was
poisoned by strychnine. 1t appears
that Eaton was aware Of TWitcheii's
intention to commit suicide. a gen
tleman who had a conversation with
Eaton this morning says that some
time last night the two men were
allowed to have an interview, and
Twitchell said, Jerry, you will have
to go alone to morrow; Iii not be
with you. but NUNS the word =
Afterwards Eaton revealed this
statement to the clergymen in attend
ance, aud they thought it proper to
inform the officers Of the prison.
Twitchell's cell was thoroughly
searched, and everything removed
with which he might injure himself,
even the looking-glass. But he must
have had the poison concealed about
him, or may have already swallowed
it. Further examination of his cell
led to the discovery of a piece OF
liquorice root, which is supposed 10
have been impregnated with poison.
Eaton took his farewell OF his wife
this morning. 1t was an affecting
scene. He made no atement on the
gallows.
