l did not feel remOrSe for what
had done, but my punishment was
imposed because of a physical dread
of life. I became the slave of fear,
and constitution which had been
abnormalIy strong was shattered. My
whole frame was subject to the most
frightful nervous rigors, my hair
grew white and my hands were those
of palsied man. In the day I could
not remain in the house, and at night
there was no sleep for NE; it appeared
that I must fight off hands which
tried to hold white cloths to my face.
For months my mind was in divi-
sion between my mother and Edith.
If my fiendish design on one had been
frustrated, 1 had by accident brought
her to worse condition than death,
and my every. hour was purctuated
by the shrieks of a maniac. The
faces of my acquaintances became un-
bearable to me, and as passed along
the streets, children-who saw my
fearful eXpression-would turn and
flee with cries of terror. 1t was ap-
parent that everyone avoided he, and

able hell; yet upon oath l had con-

terry of my life, and this history

With remorse my torture has been
greater, more acute, than when l was

number OF nOles in it in a circle, and
then pushed the middle parts out,
through which he ran his arm and
took the key from the lock, evidently
intending to return later in the night

Crouch, the clerk in that store, had
occasion to visit between nine and
