-HALLoHAN, under sentence of death
in the Baltimore Jail for the murder of old
Mrs LAMPLEY. has made full confession
of his guilt. He duplicates NICHOLSON
who was tried with him and found guilty,
but not sentenced, as an appeal was taken
in the latter's case. HaLLoHAN SAYS NJ
cHoLsoN (who wsss relative Of the woman
murdered) planned the whole crime and in
ducrd him (HALLoHAN) to 60 into the affair.
HALLOHAN's confession seems to have
been made more for the purpose of invoIy-
ing NICHOLSON than for any other purpose.

cutting irony, that be "wauts to see Broth

MIR. Leslie, a deceased citizen, who had
been connected with the liquor trade, re-
marking that the expensive coffin used to
inclose the remains Of the late Leslie "was
purchased with the tears and groans of the
druukard's families" The widow of the
deceased heard these remarks, and, arming
herself with a cowhids, she started out to
seek Mr.. Frazell. She found him 10 q
drug store. and at once, without so much as
whereas" by way of preamble, began to
whip him as though he had been the worst
boy in u country school. Mr.. Frazell G.
mitted howl and Hed into the street, but
Mrs Leslie was at his heels, administering
punishment at every step, and thus chased
and whipped him through the wondering
town; aud it was only when he bad reach
ed his own door, painting for breath and
smarsiDg with stripes, that she relented
and withheld her avenging arm. The AZ
lar caused an amount of gossip new 10 the
