On His Death-Bed a Murderer Makes a
Confession of Crime.
The Placerville Democrat says: Nearly
twenty years ago the wife of Addison TREE
was brutally murdered at their home two
miles south of this city. The murder was
a profound mystery, suspicion being divided
in the community as to the guilty party.
Some of the neighbors believed it to be
Three who had committed the deed and
others that it was a former partner
named Wilson, but no proof could be
established as to the guilt of either party,
and the matter was dropped. The stain OF
suspicion still hung over TREE, however,
until recently. On his death-bed in Oregon
James RILEY, former resident of Placer
vile, confessed that he was the one who
had committed this foul murder. This con-
ieSsion is certainly relief to the friends of
Mr.. TREE, who was married few months
ago to Miss Smith, whose parents now re-
side on Weaver Creek. near where the muir
der was committed. Three resides at Ring
