any means of backing the horses would be
allowed. The process of betting was by
commissioners, the same as that carried on
at SheepShead Bay, and no objection
was offered to it. The Dwyers'
stables got the honors of the day by
winning four out of the seven races.

NEWPORT, r. l.. June 3-Allen w.
Dorsey, son-in-law of Benjamin Burton,
who was murdered in his house early i'm
October last, made confession to-day.
The story got outside of the Jail, but was
received with some surprise, because every
body thought that Dorsey would maintain
his stolid Indifference. He will be given
life sentence in the state prison tomorrow.
Sheriff EastOn states that in order to guard
against Dorsey's committing suicide they
removed several things in his cell while he
was at court last night The prin-
c!pal ,thng was looking-glass.
This morning he missed it and sent
for Mrs. Easton, the wife of the sheriff.
He asked her why she removed it, and she

the truth, " he continued. 81 shall never do
anything of the kind. If l desired to-
even now, it would be easy to smash the
soap dish or strip my blanket and hang
myself" Dorsey then told Mrs Easton
that he was guilty and had suffered the
fortunes of the damned ever since his act.
He told her that his real motive for the
crime would never be known, for he would
die before he would tell it. He then de-
scribed how he had committed the deed,
and declared he was ready to abide the
consequences of his act. He states that
THERE WAS A CERTAIN INFLUENCE
which compelled him to perform the muir
der. He had taken the pistol from Bur-
toms own drawer on the Friday previous to
the tragedy, and intended to murder him
that night, He went down into his room
but found he had not returned and then
went back to his own room and told his
wife that he had been down to fix her
father, and was not able to do it because
the old man was not in. Between Friday
and Tuesday he did not speak to Burton
but this excited no surprise because they
were not On good terms although living in
the same house and so closely related. On
Monday night he told his wife and Young
sister-in-law that he was going to kill their
father. Emily Burton said to
him: ''Don't you think you had
better do it by daylight" and he
assented and deferred numbering his father
in-law until the next morning. He arose
at Z o'clock and patiently awaited Mr..
Burton's return. Mr.. Burton came into the
house shortly before 10 o'clock and in ten
minutes was dead. Dorsey fired first at
the old mans head and Immediately felt
his pulse and finding it was beating he
fired second shot into his heart He had
sent his wife to the neighbors. When she
returned, he said, Mrs. Dorsey ran out into
the street and shrieked that her father had
killed himself. Dorsey's confession being
very largely corroborative of his wife's and
his sister-in-law's confession. All the
prisoners will be taken to the state prison
at Cranston tomorrow for life.
