The affair created sensation OF a years dura-
ton, but was never cleared up and is remem-
bered only by the oldest residents. Gen. But
Ter has revived interest in the case by relating
to two Manchester gentlemen a secret which he
has kept for years. He says that q client Of
his named Pierson, who was hung for wife
murder, previous to his execution confessed TO
him that he killed Mr.. Parker because the lat
ter had refused to return him certain money
which Pierson had placed in his hands for safe
keeping or to get it out ofthe reach of Persons
creditors. Pierson, after failing to get his
money. drove TO Manchester from Lowell.
called Parker out on some pretext, and, when
the two were on the way to Jaynesville, killed
counsel for the Wentworths, who were tried for
