gouged out as if with a sharp instru-

Despicable, too, was the ill-con-
cealed attempt of both white and

save himself. 1t was by cleverly
working on the fears of each other
that the dreadful confessions were
secured by the authorities.
Sheriff and coroner have covered
themselves with glory in the whole
matter. They have in the first place
secured confessions in case where it
would have been difficult to secure
direct evidence, and danger of mob
violence at New London was obviated
by slipping the men out the back
soor of the Jail and rushing them
hither. A great crowd had gathered
at the little country town and there
