in a boat at Hoping. The fact of his
confession became known last evening,
but he did not enter into details until
today. He says he deliberately planned
the crimes and bought the reVoIverS
with the express intention of robbzng
another steamer at Orebro, after kill
ing those on board, but he changed his
mind and boarded the PrinS Carl. The
prisoner said that he regretted not hav-
rested him as otherwise he would have
sho them. He also expressed regret
at the fact tina he had not killed every
one on board the PrinS Carl, emphati-
caIly denied he was insane and assert
ed that he committed the murders IN or
der to ayenge himself on mankind.
The wounded say they were playing
