WEEKLY BAZOO.
TUESDAY, NAY 6, 1879.
JOHN I. WEST.

In smother column We give the full par.
ticulsrs Of the various admisions made by
this unhappy man the past week. He is
sentenced to hang Nay l6. and there ap-
Peas to be no hope for him. From the
time Of his arrest he pesistently declared
his Innocence, up to Thundsy last. Even
. day or tvo psevious. when his attorney,
who 20 ably defended him. asked him
upon HE solemn word of honor, nov that
there was no hope for him, If be killed the
stranger. West declared he did not, and
handed him the account denying the sct,
which will b found in another column, TO
70 be published after his execution.
Within forty -eight hours from that time,
he wrote another document which was Civ.
En- to the editor Of the B ,oaville Adpetisr
for publication. In this he admitted that
he killed the man, who he thinks vas
named Frank Shinn, and that be did il in
self-defeose. BE sad the man Va raising
up to attack him. when he (West) picked
up the stone. weighing 50 pounds, and
GLsss il 1t him.
On Friday BAzoo reporter visited him,
and the interview will be found in 1T prop
er place.
From the character and position of the
wounds upon the murdered name head, it
u evident the deed was done while the
victim lay extended upon his back in sleep:
and that the stone Wa not only dashed
down upon him once, but tw,cs.
The truth Of the matter ID, West IL very
illitsrats man-s man whose moral nature
hes had no chance of developement, and
whose circumstances and associations have
been such - to almost entirely extinguish
what natural good qualities be ever pos
sessed. Up to the past week he has been
buoyed and sustained BY the faint hope Of
. new trial or commutation of sentence.
Nov that hope has faded. and each dsy
the shadov Of the Rallows creeps farther
into his cell, his agonising conscience
proves too much Tor his mental strength.
AZ his attorney states, West in his present
condition. could Be induced to confess to
Fifty murdcn. or to assert his Innocence of
any and ill Of them.
But of one thing there u no doubt, be-
fore his final plunge into eternity West
will make foil confession of his terrible
crime and all the particulars connected
with it. Until that, nothing positive re.
garding il can Be known.
