MERRILLs STORY.
4 Journal reporter made Merrill's acquaint-
ance Sunday at Weeks Mills. The young
man would tell nothing further in relation to
his crime, yesterday, than has been already
published. He relates the story of his guilt in
calm deliberate manner without the slight
est manifestation of grief or sorrow. He
saws that he has been in Jail twice before on
charges of stealing; got thirty days on one
charge, but was not found guilty on the
other, and was discharged. During the
week have mad trouble in sleeping. but slept
well last night. In answer to the question,
care you sorry for the crime?" the prisoner
replied, Eyes, | suppose | am Merrill
is a accomplishment young man, with
black hair and eyes, freckled-face
about 6 feet in height, rather muscular in
form, and in the main unprepossessing
in appearance. He talked of the crime
readily and freely and seemed anxious to let
everybody know he had murdered his own
mother. Many people in Augusta, especially
those vino have had anything to do with
criminals, know Merrill. He bears a hard rep
utation in this city, where he has hired teams
at livery stables and never paid for them, re-
turning in the night time and hitching them
outside the doors. At one time he was en-
ployed at the old Mansion House as a waiter.
and while there stole pocket-book contain
ing over 500, belonging to a stage-driver.
At that time he was suspected of the theft,
but nothing could be proved against him.
Sheriff Libby, however, in few minutes
talk, got him to acknowledge all.
