william Smith, The Murderer Of the Prison
WhtchmAn.

William Smith, the murderer of the watch
man in the Connecticut State Prison, is now
awaiting the time for execution, at the Weth-
ersdeld Conn, prison. Since his trial, one
or two of his former Bangor scquaintances
have called upon him to talk over old times.
He always brightens up on such occasions
and takes great pleasure in telling of the
times when he used TO slide down Cedar street
hill. He lived, il will be remembered by
his former playmates, on Hammond street,
near the Webster road and readily calls by
name all with whom he played and went to
school. He disclaims any intention Of injur-
ing the Waterman, but does not complain az
bitterly about his sentence as would be sup
posed. Although it must be confessed that
he is now and has been for years a very hard
character, still he has some redeeining points.
few weeks before the murder of the watch
man took place, the Warden asked Smith if
he would promise him not to run away, pro-
viding he put him at work outside the prison
walls. II shall make no promises said
Smith; IF you want to know where | am
you better keep me under lock and key"
He is plucky fellow and kept several men
at bay for some time when the attempt was
made TO capture him for robbery at New
London. Ii will be remembered that he Just
sailed there in "A sloop which he, with two or
three companions, had stolen in the harbor
here for the purpose of carrying away
several thousand dollars worth of silk stolen
from the stores of Rines Brothers and Will
liams Getchell. Strange as it may seem,
and yet not at all strange considering the
tendency Of modern sentiment, to make mar
tyrs and pets Of the most vllainous crimi-
nals-after Smith had been convi cted of the
murder Of the Waterman, quite a number OF
ladies and gentlemen OF high standing in
Hartford made great outcry against the
conviction of the murderer. and went so far
as to comment in the severest terms on the
charge Of the Judge to the jury, making it
seem to one unacquainted with the case that
Smith was an injured innocent, while the
Judge was a SECOND Jefreys. As general
thing however, the conviction and sentence
were considered perfectly just throughout
the State.
From personal appearance Smith would be
taken for mechanic rather than murderer
as he has pleasant, intelligent face, and ut
once wins friends in conversation. That
appearances are deceitful" is certainly true
in this case, as his deeds indicate, for there
is no doubt in the world that he is guilty of
what he stands convicted. and his whole
course Of life since he left his home in Ban
-gor has been Of decidedly doubtful char
acter.-B Bangor Commercial.
