told Gallon that il any confession
was made, 1t should be made to his coun-
sci. GALLON Indignantly denied that he
ever promised Spurlock to make q comics
sion. Mr. Graves is out-spoken in his re-
fusal to believe that Spurlock obtained q
confession. Sheriff Ben Goodell was in
town on Tuesday, and laughed to scorn
the idea that Spurlock had confession
from GALLON The fact of the matter is
that it is miserable catch penny enter

THE CONFESSION

The Geneseo Nescs thus touches nm the
editor of the San, his alleged confession
of GALLON who was executed at Cam.
bridge last week.
The only amusing feature about this
whole tragedy is the assurance of the Rev
Menandu Spurlock in bruiting abroad that
he had a confession" from GALLON, that
he would publish in his paper. When we
heard of this suppositious confession we
interviewed Mr.. Emery G. Graves. one of
Gallons counsel, and Mr. Spurlock's SON
IN law. Mr.. Graves stated that he had
heard that Spurlock reported that he had
been promised q confession. and that he
