GORDON THE rHoRyDrKE MURDERER


A reporter of the Boston Herald has
been rusticatng on the banks Of the PEN
obscot, and he took occasion to pay VISIT
to John It. Gordon, now confined in Bel
fast jail. He says:
A'few steps brought us to the cell OF the
alleged murderer. He is dark complex
ioned. of medium height, weighs about
$50 pounds, is well made, wears a NOUS
tache, and at first glance is not unprepos
sessing in appearance. But it is hard catch
ing his eye. 1t wanders, and does not
meet your own fully and firmly. This
may be partially accounted for because OF
the many visitors who are admitted to see
him.
After Introduction by the sheriff:
Reporter morning, Mr.. Gordon
Prisoner-"How are you?" Gruf,iy and
shortly.
R-"How do you find yourself to-day %
Powell, they keep me here yet
R-"So, see. You don't think you de-
serve it, do you?"
Pho, I'm innocent, and III show it
when the time comes"
R-"Do you have any idea who did it p
P-s.Yes, know. Eve seen him Oh.
don't l hate the one who did it ?"
R-"How is that have yon seen TIE
murderer?
P--"Yes; and I'll lei en- know who lis
some time"
He persists in declaring his innocence,
and asserts that in vision he has seen the
real murderer. whom he will describe At
the trial, 1t is thought that these acts are
only preparatory to the plea OF insanity.
which will undoubtedly be put in extenu-
alton of the crime And there is some
ground, for insanity can be shown in his
fathers family, and one of his brothers
died insane His trial win come off at the
next term of the Supreme Judicial Court
in Belfast, which commences the third
Tuesday of October, and it viii be before
Judge Appleton, the Chief Justice of the
State. Gordon is carefully secured and
watched, and no doubt will be forthcom-
ing for trial. unless he commits suicide by
some means in his cell, which be has hint
ed at several times.

Captain Hall certainly did not look like an apopec-

about the utter unftness OF the ship, which was no

men ever saw, and would certainly have stayed
two years more TO accomplish his purpose II death
had spared him-death or murder, | don't know

THIS concluded the interview, and the reporter,
after thanking the explorer for his kindness, took
his leave.

WASHINGTON, May 10, 1873.

A brief paragraph in morning paper gave
the Washington public to-day the first intima-
ton it had Of disaster to the Polaris Arctic
Expedition, and as the departments were
closed under the President order of last night
and the department officials generally invis-
ible, there were but scanty opportunities of
intelligence afforded to the multitude that,
through interest or curiosity, sought for au-
thentic and for fuller information. The after
noon papers fortunately contained copious alb
stracts Of the HERA1D's special dispatches from
Bay Roberts, telegraphed here after the ap-
pearance of the full kilograms in the HERALD
this morning, and despatch of to-day from
Consul Malloy to the State Department
though it gave no additional facts, fully con-
frmed the HERALD account, which had al
ready reached the State and the Navy
Departments, and been made the
theme of anxious discussion. Some
chagrin was expressed, and more probably
felt at the necessity of leaning on the journal
istic enterprise Of the HERALD for the earliest
as wen as the fullest information of matter
in which the government and this community
have the greatest concern. The Polaris was
familiar vessel here long before the explora-
ton took form, and the process Of her
CONVERSION INTO AN ARCTIC CRUISER
was followed from day to day with eager
interest by all classes Of the people.
Captain Hall and his companions grew to be
well known characters before the start was
made for the North Pole, and the voyage of
the Congress with supplies, under command
Of the late Captain Davenport, then resident
of Washington, and with Chaplain Newman
on board, to give benediction to the little
vessel Of Hall and his brave company, kept
alive the public interest in the undertaking.
At the Navy Department the Polar expedition
took rank in importance with the surveying Of
hteroceanic ship canals; and as almost the
full scientific strength of the government had
been put forth in equipping the little party of
scientists, sent out through the efforts of the
National Academy of Sciences, and as every
one connected with the Smithsonian Institu-
ton, the Coast Survey, the Naval Observatory
and the Engineer Bureau wanted to know
what had been lost and what gained to all
these, as well as to q smaller number con-
cerned in the fate Of the adventurers, the
HERxLD's full and
CONCISE STORY OF THE ADVENTURE
was valued news tonight.
General Myer, of the Signal Office, was
easly in quest of information, one of his
skilled weather observers being on board as
meteorologist and the Bureau hoping from his
labors to add something to its measure Of use
fulness and reputation. The news that Ser
geant Myer, the meteorologist in question, was
among the rescued party was welcome; but
anxiety still remains as to the results achieved
by him. On all hands this r.

being asked whether Governor Kellogg had not
made formal application to him to interpose, in
