The man who commits a great
crime, such as murder, or burning
other peoples property, never or sell
dom dies without confessing his guilt,
unless he suddenly lose his life, of
which the following item from Lam
caster county, is an illustration:
about twenty-five or thirty years
ago George Marks was landlord of
the hostelry known as "Dissinger's 8
Tavern" ON the New Holland turn
pike, at Mechanicsburg, Lancaster
county. At that time the body of a
nan, recognized as a travelling sales
mar. that had been at the tavern a
few DAYS before, was found, much de
composed, in the Conestoga, near
New Holland No clue could be OBJ
tanned to the murderers. Now Marks,
who died on the 5th instant, con-
fesses on his death-bed that he and a
neighbor named Weidler murdered
the man and threw lis body in the
creek. They had been playing cards,
the agent was the winner, and he was
murdered on this account There is
considerable excitement in the neigh
borhood because of Marks comics
