Full Particulars Of the Foul Deed as
given by NJ. q. Barker and Wife.

The mystery surrounding the hor-
rible murder of Harvey Keith, and
the mutilation of his body, has been
cleared up by the voluntary con-
fession of M. G.. Barker and his wife
in jail yesterday, to Matt w. Pink
erton of Pinkerton's detective force,
of Chicago. Our readers will remem-
ber that a week ago yesterday,
smart looking young man, under the
name of Stearns, was arrested IN
Hartford for forgips "1 ). ,ame of
Felix Rassett and atte&fting to OBJ
tain money from Geo. w. Me-riman,
the banker, and that he was brought
to Paw Paw in irons and jailed. This
was one of Pinkerton's most adroit
officers, and when once inside he pro-
ceeded to get the confidence of Bar
ker and the other prisoners by plan
ming an escape. He very cunningly
made key out of a button hook and
with it succeeded in throwing off
two Of the three tumblers in the lock
on the outside door, and had perfect
ed plan to escape from the jail on
Saturday night last. In the mean
time he had sent for his lawyer, who
was none other than Pinkerton him
self, and on his arrival Stearns in
troduced him to Barker as his law
yer from Chicago, who had come
over to bail and defend him.
Barker was very anxious to retain
the same counsel, and after some re-
luctance, Pinkerton, who represent
ed himself to be A. S. Trude, con-
sented to act as his counsel in the
matter. To him Barker made the
following recital of one Of the most
atrocious crimes that has ever dis
ggrraaccd ouT state, with nonchalance
seldom seen in the most hardened
criminals. All the circumstances at
tendant on his confession, his falsif-
cation-at first, and finally breaking
down and owning all, the story told
by his wife, and the grief of old gen.
tleman Barker who was present and
listened to his sons confession of.
this most henious crime, read like a
romance, and are too lengthy to be
given in full. The following, how
ever, is complete statement of the
confession in Barker's own words,
and that of his wife is substantially
the same, excepting that she, of
course, as will be seen from Barker's
story, knows nothing of the actual
killing and the subsequent disposi-
tion of the murdered man, except
what has been told her by her hus-
band. She told her story first in full
to Officer Pinkerton, and had, as she
said, refrained from doing so before
for the only reason that her husband
had threatened her life, and, indeed,
bound her by the most fearful oath
to never divulge his guilty secret.
VIM. Barker also swore to never
speak of it even to his wife, and to-
gether the three swore never to
talk it over even between themselves.
VIM. Barker was arrested late last
