THE MURDERER OF CROCKETT MAKES
A CONFESSION.

The z Harris, who was sent back
from his city on Saturday, to Marion.
Ark, charged with killing Crockett. has
since, we learn, made q full confession Of
the manner in which he perpetrated the
murder. He went 10 CrJckett's house
late in the night to get liquor. A person
had been there Immediately before to
whom Crockett would sell no uaucr.
The negro Harris entered the house and
called for what he wanted. Crockett was
in bed, and he rose up to let him have it.
He was in his drawers. He approached
the barrel and was in the act Of drawing
the liquor when the murderer approached
from behind with the tooth of a harrow
and fslled him with a blow delivered on
the back of the head. He then cut his
throat with a scythe which was OF its
handle, and robbed the house of over $500
which ne found. There can be no doubt
but the murder WAS perpetrated for
money. It speaks volumes for the peace
loving disposition of The people over
there, that they carried the assassin from
Mound City through the woods TO Ma
riOn and no attempt was made to lynch
him.

A Statement by the Host skiIful Railroad
Builders aad Managers.

We, the undersigned, having been re-
qussted by Colonel T. NJ. White, Presi-
dent Of che Mississippi and Tenusssss
Railroad Company, to examine into the
causes Of the accident on the Sd OF Jauu-
airy, 1871, in NOnGOnusb creek bottom, to
the express train No. 4, proceeded 10 the
scene Of the accident on this day, and ind
as follows:
We found the road at this point sup
ported by four spans Of Phoenix beam
truss glrd6rs, resting on substantial brick
piers of four feet by twelve feet AZ top.
The bridge has been in use Ten years, and
was considered one Of the BEST bridges on
the road, and in our opinion, from its
plan and dimensions, jig or ample strength
for the heaviest trains, and from the eX-
perience Of this best roads, as safe as any
bridge 10 use.
From a careful examination Of the
wreck, and the attendant circumstances,
and from evidence brought before Us
while 10 is impossible TO determine with
