is under medical treatment for measles.
Shiff1ett appears resigned to his fate, and
passes his time in playing with his four

Barr has his confession, which will be given
to the public on Wednesday next. Shiflctt

formed privately.
ShifTlett has about wcaried the patience OF
court officials, ministers, and newspaper
men with his numerous statements" This
morning he made his seventh one. 1t is t.
the effect that Mrs. Lawson did not offer
him any money, but did say he would be
paid il he would do \ certain thing. In
reference to the rumor that money had been
offered him since his conviction to make
confession duplicating Sam. Hall, he
firmly denies the story. He also says
this morning that Morris never con,
tractcd with him or had anything to dc
with the murder. The counsel for Morris

Der 30th, frequently gives way to grief, and
her frantic shouts can be heard squares dis
tant from the Jail. The idea Of her being
reprieved is an idle one, Judging from the
fact that the gallows being constructed for
the execution Of Shifflett and Morris is
made in sections, to be removed and re-
placed at will. The almost universal opinion
here is that if Shifflett and Morris are hang.
ed, she, as the prime mover and instigator
in her husbands murder, should suffer the
same penalty.

a Wassnxi Life

rwifk esbarre Record Of the Times, September i21
The t..eeath Of DR.. Gillineham deserves
more than passing notice, both from bis
former high social position, his great abili-
ties, and the later misfortunes OF his life.
He Yves formerly, in 18G4-'65, a practicing
physician in Baltimore, having lucrative
profession, and moved in the best circles OF
society. having married sister OF Hon.
Reverdy johnson. His wife was possessed
Of large fortune, but upon the occasion OF
lher marriage it was so guarded by legal
forms that the husband could not ac-
quire title thereto upon her death.
which occurred some years since. Fol-
lowing lis residence in Baltimore he came
to Lebanon, in this State, where he prac-
ticed his profession for time, and later
still he removed to Philadelphia. During
all these years he has gradually given him
sell TO dissipation, and upon bis appearance
hare, some two years since, he had ceased
to practice medicine, and gained preca-
rlous livelihood by teaching musician art
in which he was as proficient as in The prac-
tice of his profession. When he first ar
rived IN Wilkesbarre his pride sustained
him for a time, and he took UP his residence
at the Valley House; but he was obliged to
seek other and more humble quar-
tiers, until he finally ended by occu-
pvfng the small house in which he
died, on north Main street. OF late
his scanty earnings have scarcely been
sufficient to provide him with the necessa-
ries OF life. From papers found upon his
body he appears to have relatives in Ptfla-
delphin, among these being Eliza B. GiIling-
ham. He has a son also, a youth now
attending some college in Virginia, who hasa
fortune awaiting him, and relatives who are
wealthy and highly connected. He died
from the effects OF hemorrhage, and the
body is now in .charge OF the Poor Di-
rectors. For some time past Messrs.
George Lewis, Isaiah Leach, and R. Dean
have looked after his wants.
