Sad Coincidence.

Our readers will remember
the presentation Of ak elegant
flags, worth $500 to the late
Captain sickles. Of the steamer
James Fisk, Jr, BY the lsts
Colonel James Fisk, Jr, Of
New York, after whom the boat
was named. 1t is q very re-
m markable coincidence that both
of these gentlemen should have
come 10 a melancholy end with.
in a few hours of each other.
Col. Fisk died on Sunday morn.
ing about II O'Clock, and the
dead body Of Capt. Sickles was
first discovered at the same
hour. He had evidently died
a short time before. The tes.
timony of the Ooroner's inquest
shows that he had retired ap-
parently in good health, Satur'
day night at his home, alone,
his wife being absent on a Wis.,
it to her father, Mr.. o. Glidden.
During the night, or next morn.
ing, he had partly risen from
bed to reach a dipper of water
on a chair by the bedside, and
fallen forward upon the chair,
and struck the thyroid cartil
age of the neck upon the edge
of the chair. In this position
the body was found; and the
supposition Is that he was par.
alyzed by the shock, and
strangled, or died of the heart
disease, as he had never
changed his position after fall.

ED. RECoRD:-In the article
entitled, Gan old Relic of a
Barbarous Act" published in
your paper of January 18th
there are so many gross errors
in statement that they ought
TO be corrected. This should
be done in justice to all the
parties concerned, including
the defendants friends and the
Governor, who pardoned him.
Relying upon the disclosures
or "conlession" Of the defend
ant, his previous and subse-
,quent habits and conduct in
prison, affirmed by the Warden
and officers thereof, together
with his acknowledged good
reputation before the charge
made against him, Gov. Hays,
in the month Of December,
1868, granted Rhodes a pardon.
The facts are substantially
these: Josiah Rhodes, his faith

brother, lived on L. s. Payne'S
farm, near Hamden. Billy had
all his life been subject TO fits

During the latter part of his
life he would frequently be-
come furious after recovering
from one of the paroxisms,
sometimes to such an extent
that Josiah and his father would
be compelled to tie him TO pre-.
vent him from injuring or kill
ing them.
Josiah was house keeper, do,
ing all the house work for the
three, there being no woman
to do such work. This servi CO
was voluntary on the part of
JOSIAH. The old man had no
farm or any thing else to give
him, and there was no such
contrast as your article speaks

March, and the father and Jo-
siah intended to move west in
the spring, taking Billy with
them. Before going the father
desired to visit his old friends

stuff as that reported in your
paper. No one that knew her
and Rhodes, believed one word
of 1t.
Rhodes misled bis attorneys
as to the facts in the case, the
result of which secured the
verdict of the jury. There can
be no doubt that il he had told
the truth about the whole case
that an unprejudlced jury
would have acquitted him on
the trial, as the killing was
done in self-defense.
The theory of the defense
was founded upon his false
statements as to the facts of
the killing and hence the YER

ed, Rhodes was in great distress
mentally, which so preyed ups
on his physical powers that he
became a mere skeleton.
He was taken to the peniten
tiary in April, ard the follow
ing August he made a full
statement of the facts of the
case to the Chaplain of the
penitentiary, who with the off,
GERS, had great faith in the
truthfulness of his statements.
He thereupon became content.
ed, his mind at rest, regained
his flesh and to the time of his
release was a most exemplary
man, having the confidence of
the officers Of the penitentiary
in the gentleness of his dispo-
sition and goodness of his
heart. After his release he was
invited by one of the officers
to spend some time with him
and his family before going
west to see his people. His
statements of the facts in the
case, were in perfect harmony
with those proven, and had they
been made before, and at the
trial; the strong probability is
that he would not have been
convicted of manslaughter.-
