The Confession OF POlsoner Guilty of
TrencherOus Murder.
New York, Oct. 2.-Mr. Weeley w
Bishop and Mr. Chas. H. Cobb, jr,, lived
in the same Connecticut town of Nor
wich. They were friends and members
of the same Masonic Lodge. Bishop
was much in the society Of his friend S
wife, and presently unpleasant rumors
got out. The neighbors began gossip
ing, and some of the near relatives tn OF
it their duty to express their disapproval
of the intimacy. Bishops wife died.
Then Mrs. Cobb's husband died so sud
denly, that the neighbors talked more
than ever. Then the authorities took
the matter in hand.
The body of Cobb was examined, and
arsenic was found. The body of Mrs.
Bishop was exhumed and Dr.. Doremus
testified at the preliminary hearing that
he had found traces of arsenic, and be-
lieved that enough had been admins.
tered to cause death. Both Bishop and
Mrs. Cobb pleaded not guilty, but they
were held for trial.
Now Norwich is thrown into fever
of excitement by the news that Bishop
has made a written confession. He
handed it in the first instance, it itappears
to brother Mason, attempting to enact
some pledge of secrecy, but the brother
Mason rightly decided that he had no
right to keep such secret, Mrs. Cobb,
who took the news very cody, pro-
