Etc., Etc., Etc., Ete. The murder of Mrs. Dorcas MaiUori at mid izy in bor own house, on the 26th of Apr J last, waa surrounded by circumstances ot such peculiar atrocity, that the lea'iinn events ot the crime are ttiill lresh in the minds ol'the peoolc. To-morrow morning, if the law is Dermitted to take its course, fioorce W, Winnemora will iiitier death by hanging, In expiation lor thiB bloody deed. The Prisoner to a native of this city, and about twenty-two years ol aire. About rtiteen years ago his father, the late Philip Wiuneniore, held the pu.it ion of limh Constable lor some time. Youuir Winnemore. however, appears to have parsed his early ditya In Idleness, or som"thinr werse, and says that all the scauolinc; he re ceived did not extend through a elnele eur. What knowledge he has acquired, he ' picked vp 89 ho went along through tue world." to use t''s own words. DiPtijireouierm with members of Ms family led to lit trcquent departure from home, and on hi? luet return he considered his treatment so unkind that lie Hpaiu Mt, determined upon returuiuu no inorc He entered the regular army, aud tor Rome time was engaeed in Rervice upou tbo pluruB. In the latter part ot Marcu last he was Ui.-chartre tiund from the army, and soon found himpelt in thiscit.y oeain. Itook lodgings at the Monitor Houee. No. 2(15 South Front street, kept bv Adam Meneck. Ilia means soon ran short, "and the proprietor expostulated with him on the pubjeel of his accumulated board bill. Finally, on the 24th of April, Winne moie asked Meneck if he would not let his bill run on a Utile longer. He was told that he could remain that nicut, but that unless he pnid the next day he could stay no longer. He then said to the 'landlord that he expected on the following day to see a brother, irom whom he could obtain some money. Wtnnemore bad b'eu f topping at the Monitor House for more than two weeks at tni-t time, and until withi'i a few days previou he had paid for his meals as be ate them. On the pievious Saturday, April 20. while Mr. Meneck was shaving, Wirinemore offered to lend him a raz r, which he did. This razor was of peculiar construction, the blade being long and narrow, and bevelled off on one side only, like a chisel: Irom which peculiarities Mr. Meneck was able to identify it subsequently. The Murdered Woman, Mrs. Dorcas Mngilton. was sixty-two years of age at the time of Her tUath. "With her hus band, Mr. Adam Mattiltou, wuo is also well ad vanced in years.she resided iu a small brick house two stories and a halt in heiuot, at N.O. 1309 Shippen street. Wlnuemnre ha I made her ac quuiDtuo.ce a year or so before, having been invited to the house by a mutual trlend, who was on visiting terms with the Migilton family. Mrs. Mazilton was a devoted spiritual ist,, aud so was Wiunemore. Tills was tne bond -which drew th-m toeethr, and lor the purpose ot attending "circles" WiDnemore was often at the house. He became, in fact, almost like a member of the family, aud according to all ac counts, Mrs. Mtif-iltou's treatment of him was as kind a it she had beeu his own mother. Their Spiritual Relations. It appear?, however, tuit their relations were Bomewnat dUtnrbea by thespmts. Mrs. Magil ton pretended to paiut under the influence of spirits. The pictures which she produced were about two hundred In number, and were said by her to represent disease aad certain olams which cured them. These pictures had a etianpe aud unaccountable influence over Win Demore, which he himself has described iu the tallowing words: "First they made me shudder, and cold . chills ran all through me. I telt as thoueh I could get up and tear them all to pieces. As soon as I looked at tbem I telt very strange and wild. At times I would leave ber house on account of them, and sometimes I would leave other houses when I saw them. There were times when I could go into a house where they were and not feel their influence until 1 looked at tnem. At otner times the mere tboueht ot them would make me feet bad, and I could tell that they were in the house without seeing them. If any person tried to hold me. I wanted to right, and telt as though I could knock: them down. 1 was con scious at tae time, but could not control inv feelings. These pictures would not affect me so much sometimes, especially when two certain nersons (we omit their names) were present. these two persons were at a great many circles at Mrs. Magilton's house ; I very seldom attended a circle without one or both ol them being present. At one time I was at a hou-e where I knew there were some of the pictures, I did not see tbem, but knew thev were In the room. There was a three-cornered stand, hi led with little relics, in the room, and 1 felt like kicking it to pieces, I left the house on this account." But this aDPeara to have been the only cause ot disturbance between them. In other respects tbey seem to have been in perfect harmony, even as far as the spirits were concerned. Mrs. Matrilton's belief was somewhat peculiar. She proteased to be under the control of a legion ot curious spirits, wnom sueiyiea Araos ana cm nese. When (he and Wiunemore were sitting in a room together, the latter says that he could nee millions of them as soon as Mrs. Magilton commenced to talk about them. "I never saw the like of them before," he said; "she called tbem Arabs and Chine.-e, but they did not look like them, nor like any pictures of men that 1 have ever seen. They were dre.-sed in uniform like an army. Thev had a large white band. about four inches wide, tied aroun J their heads to keep their hair back. They wore white shirts and blue breeches. They had at their side large Bcimetars about three teet long, which were curved like a cheese-knife. They carried long spears in their nanns." The Murder. as already stated, occurred on Thursday, April zd, me nay ioiiowinir tne one on which winue' m ore's landlord, Adam Meneck, had the last conversation with him concerning bis arrears for board. Winnemore had been frequenting: the house of the Magiltous as much as usual iiift previous to the teiriule a Hair. On this day lr. Mazilron started out about G o'clock in the morning, and did not return to the house until 9 o'clock, when he lounrt Mrs. filial I ton alone, although it is said that Wiunemore had mean while visited the house. Mr. Maariltou left the house again, after remaining indoors about half an hour, aud was absent umil half past 12 o'clock. About 2 o'clock he left the house for the third time on that tatul day, this time taking a pair of spectacles to a neighboring jeweller, tor T r. waft about three o'clock when Adam Sla pilton agam stepped up to the front door of his houee, and lOllua mm it wao iuwiicu uu mc iu- -trfo Hp tried his dea Match kiy. but It would not work; then he rapped upon the door with bis open hand, and stepped aside, raised the .iniinni nd nut his spectacles in. Just as he did so the door was thrown open, and Oeorge W. Winnemore coDlroiited him. " Home oue has been here and murdered your wife " was the nstonlsbtng lnieii'gence uuinwu mealed to the unhappy hiibbaud by Wimiemore as soon as the door was closed behind htm. it must have been vou who mur dered her, 'as you are alone here," replied Adam Maeilton, almost speechless with horror. Winnemore had placed his hand on Magilton's THE DAjLY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, shonlder, and thus they walked together to the rear room, where but an hour before Mr. Muglltnn had left his wife all tin in a rock-ine-choir, occupied with ber knitUng. as he now entered the same room a ghastiy and stcke-jing spectacle enennntored hts gasw. The chair In which Mrs. Mgllton had I been sitting was overthrown, and lylncr bottom up wards. On the floorby its side, and near a small table, lay the body of Mrs. MaetKon. A she lay upon her back, a large deep gash in ber throat was visible, and several wounds upon her head. Near the body on the floor lay a hammer belonging to Mr. Maetlton, stained with clots of blood. The crimson fluid was scattered over the floor, and one stream of it had tuckled entirely across the room. On the table near the body of the murdered woman lay a copy ot a spiritual paper called the hanner ot Light, and by its side was the hat ot Winnemore. The Arrest of AVInneuiore followed soon a'ter. Alter showing Mr. Macll ton into the room where his murdered wife Jay, be went out ot the home, aud at Thirteenth arid Fltzwater streets encountered OtU;:er James VcCullen, 8r.. to whom he communicated the news. The two hasioticd to the bouse, where a number of persons soon collected. After they entered, Mr. Alacilton said he wished he had some one to po lor his daughter, who lived licar. Wirnemore volunteered, but betore he had gone a quurter of a sqimre from the house he was arrested Dy Otiicer Jtr.nes McCullcn, Jr., taken back to the hotis? and there searched, and then conducted to the Station House. The proofs of his guilt accumulated fast. In a pocket ot the prisoner was found a sum of money, the princi pal portion of which was two two-dollar bills, and on the previous day Mrs. Magilton had received from her son-in-law that amount of money, although only a ten-cent note was tound in her wallet. The attention of an olliccr was also attracted by a small clot ot blood in the yard in the recr ot the boHee. Thi-t led ton search of I be locality, and in tho well of the neighboring privy wsis found a razor which was id entitled by Adam Meneck as the one Winne more had loaned to him a tew days belore. Among the Intter's etlect was found a smull journal or diary, In which were several letters addressed to his frienils. Among these was the following, which led to the belief that the un happy man contemplated making way with hiu.sulf at tho end: "PiiiLAUKr.PiliA, April 22. lSfl?.

The t'rlaoner'a Story, as told at the time ol his arrest aad repeated subsequently, was to this eUect:-Alter leaving Mr. Magilton's house in the moruintr, he waUcd out beyond Ka'rmount Park a couple of miles, and returuinp, sat tor some time iu the Park, enenged iu rendine and looking at people fishing. As he came down town he passed the Academy of Natural Sciences, near where he heard a person inquire the hour of a man who was told that it was three o'clock. He then proceeded down Broad street To Hhippen, aud thence to the bouse of the Maciltons. He knocked at the front door, sponded, and finding it pushed it open and entered the back room, he there but no one re unfastened, he On ttoine into discovered the He started back lileless body ot Mrs. MaSilton. to the front door, he mieht search the which he locked, that bouse undisturbed. Just as he was crossing the front parlor, to proceed on his search, he heard Mr. Mailion at the window, and at once unlocked the door to admit him. As to tho razor, be said that the one found on the premises was not bis. After Adam Meneck had shaved hiruselt with the one loaned him, he placed it ou a shelf behind the bar, where it was found a day or two after wards by Winnemore. The handle was then broken aud tin- blade notched, which so angered tne owner mat ne tnrew it into tne street. Such is the s'ory on the truth ot which the unfortunate man has Insisted from first to last. The Trial. The murder of Mrs. Maeiltoo. followinsr. as it aii, close upon tne trial ana conviction ot (ioti leib Williams for the Deroeiration of a crime wntcn was almost identical with it in details, as well as In outline, created consideraole exxite mciitiu tne community, and there was a loud outcry made tor a speedy trial and punishment ot me cuiprit. xne murder was committed ou Thursday, April 25, and on Friday of the week junuwiug, oiay o, niuuemore was Placed ou trial. As he had no counsel, Damon Y. Kilurore, Esq., was appoiuted by the Court to represent his interests. H. R. Warriner. Ksa. was se lected by Mr. Kilgore to assist him in the defense, and tocether these two worked steadily aud zealously to secure the acquittal ot their client. This term ot the Lourt was held by Judges Brewster and Pierce, auu tue prosL-cuiion was conducted by William B. Mann, bsq., District Attorney, assisted bv T. Bradford D wight, Esq. The regular pauel aud a epeclal venire of filty were exhausted before tne lurj-box was'luil, u being necessary to order a secona special venire ol twenty-nve for the twelltn juryman. To days were exhausted by tnis, and on .Monday, May 6, the case was opened by the prosecution. The first material witness was Adam Magilton, the husband of the murdered woman. The counsel lor the defense had, on the Saturday previous, endeavored to have his testimony reiecied, on the ground that be was an innaei, and naa no religious belief. Several witnesses bad been called on this point, and much vague and unsatisfactory testimony edcited; but it was finally proved that, on the day after the murder, Mr Magilton had asserted His Denet mat "uou was a just uod, aud would not have allowed this thiucr (the murderi to occur." The testimony elicited for the prosecution, in addition to wnat has been substantially given, showed tnat at a lew minutes alter i o'clock, on the afternoon ol the murder. Winnemore had stopped to inquire the time at the corner of uroau and enippen streets; and mat, at about ten minutes after 2 o'clock, he was seen standing ou the door-bteps ot the Magilton's tesidence. tie was not seen to enter the bouse at that time. but the woman who saw bim on the step testi fied that he disappeared while ber eye3 were turned for a moment, and yet could not have gone up or down the street without attracting her attention immediately afterwards. The defense cla.mtd that the prisoner bad beeu aflltcted wi'h epileptic fits ever since he was three years or ace; that he was ot a very melancholy temperament, aud had several times attempted to take nis own nte; that ne wa laboring under strange hallucinations concern ing the Indians, by whose spirits he thought ne was surrounded; ihat he frequently acted in a very toolish manner, as if insane, and yet was always harmless. AuumDeror witnesses were examined as to the causes and effects of insanity. the main eilort of the counsel for the defense beina to prove that th? prisoner was at times so demented as to be an irresponsible agent. Airs, Eliza Wntrht. who keeps a store at No. 2572 Cat lowhill meet, likewise testified that shu sav and couversed with Winnemore at her store, as late as twenty or teuty-ttve minutes past two o'clock on tho afternoon ot the murder. Two davs werenccuoicd in addresses bv the counsel, Hnd ou the ltlth of May, the fifteenth day a'ter the commission ot the murder, the case was eiven totheiury, who returned a ver diet of Kiulty of murder in the first degree, after being out about two hours. This verdict ws re ceived by the prisoner with the utmost indiffer ence. Indeed, be bad comported himself throughout the trial as If it were a proceeding which concerno i him not the least. Now aud then, howevrr, he would manifest a slight inte rest in what was goiurf on about bim, but only momentarily. Efforts to Save the l'rlioncr, On May 13 Messrs. Kilgore anil Warriner, tho nrisout r's counsel, tiled amotion for a new trial. alleging the following reasons in support of It: 1. That the Court rrd Iu not Ktvtnir the defendant "opporiiin iy to procure tae attendance of wuue-me neve ssary for bin driuuse, aim who were out witulu reach ol tne proces ol Ibt) Court." That the Court rrd la overruling I be challenge JlKJliviJuriii, . . . 3 That tho oua erred In admitting the taliuiony ci Aoaru juaeiuuu. 4. That the er1lrt ! ftcralnnt the law, the evMeaee and the weivhtof the evidence. a. That "the trmnliy nl the rtrlnndant" was ofminh a rmmre, "even dtirtntc thw prnerwn of the trial, aa to prevent proper cnnnultntlou with bim by bla ootraaal," . Aitar-cllacoyared evldenoe. Ihese propositions were subsequently argned at length, and on Jnne 15 Judge Brewster, in a long and exhaustive opinion, overruled the motion. The prisoner was then asked if be had anything to say why sentence of death should not be passed upon him, to which he responded as follows 'One re an la, because I am entirely innocent of the crime wltb which I am charged. It was a person I would have laid down mv llle to protect. Another thing Is, that razor never beloDaed to me. I can take my aolt mn oatb belore heaven that It was never In I my portHrMlon.

He spoke several times to me In the cell, and toid me not to deny It; I told him I bad not, and yet he saja 1 told htm I did. I told Mr. McCullum when I was sotna down that I bad blood on my finaer by touohlnK her face, and he asked me bow I ban got it ou, aud 1 lold hliu I aplt on my linger. These were the very words I used. 1 am w lilt ft to sutler what Is charged against me. It la not a death to me. It is the aUgraco to my mother and i mllv. It's no dirgrao-to me. I thank God that iny Innocence will hold me up at the last hour, tor I never did It, 1 believe that is all au laaoceut man con In say." Judpe Brewster then pronounced the sentence ol the Court, prefacing it by the following re marks:- "I shall utter no words of reproach, nor add to the pain of your present position oy any allusion to tne circumstances ot sour crime. 1 would rather that the few sentences I have to address to you should not be words ol condemnation, but expressions of tender and of solemn admonition, Let me remind you, tnen, tbat the few days remaining to you of this llle should he devoted to etirnnst supplications tor merof.

An application was made to the Supreme Court for a writ brincing the case up for review before the highest judicial tribunal in the Common wealth. This, also, was denied, in an opinion which was filed by Judge Thompson on the 15th ot July. There was but one mote resort an appeal for mercy to the Governor. A lenirthy document, reviewing the whole case, was pre pared by the counsel of Winnemore, and laid before the Governor. It bore the date of July 24, and was first published in Tub Evening Telegraph of Aueust8. This document con cluded with the following words: "For the reasons above set forth, every one of which Is founded upon the evidence as given in the irtnl of the cause, the conviction has forced itself upon our mind that the prlsouer never deliberately planned, or consciously committed, ih crime of which he has been convicted, and to execute upou Mm the extreme penalty of the law would therefore be an act ot cruelly, not of justice, Buch It uuques tloniibly would be if our couvlction has the founda tion ot troth. We would not multiply words. We put tbe case and tbe evidence belore your Excel lency, In lull reliance upon your sene of Justice, your sentiment ol mercy, auu your calm, settled purpose to do, without leur or favor, what your head aud heart dictate to be right." But it was all in vain, and a few days after wards Governor Geary affixed his signature to the death warrant, appointing Thursday, August 2"i b, as the day ot the execution. The counsel of the unhappy man, however, wpre not disposed to give up their efforts to save his lite, end a lew days since three prominent physicians visited Winnemore in his cell. After some conversation with the condemned man, thev drew up the following memorial to Gov ernor Geary, which was forwarded to him on Monday last: ' FniLAi'KT.i-uiA, iid August, 1867. The under signed, all of whom have been engaged lor many years n the care ol the insane, bave this day, at the request of IJamon Y. Kilgore, had an Interview with Uenrge W. Wiunemore. and In consequence thereof we beg leave to make the following statement- Win nemore now, and probably lor some lime pas., shows Indications of an abnormal stale of mind of a men tal connitiou which maybe attributable to the epi leptic ills to which he baa been subject from Infancy. In regard to Its degree and kind, we feel unable to speak exactly, beiauae an Interview, though pro longed to between two and three hours, was uot su in dent for the purpose. We would also state that epilepsy, especially when ol long duratlou. oflener than otherwise. Impairs the mental powers, someiimes in one way, sometimes In another, and therefore, whenever an epileptic is charged with crime, nothing less than an exhaustive Investigation of his history ana all the circumstances ol I he case can remove all suspicion that the crime may bave been committed in one of those abnormal conditions that are so olteu tbe aequel of epilepsy. "In consideration of these loots, therefore, we re spectfully pray your Excellency to stay his execution lor a lew WeeKS, in oruer tutlb a UBliurmmiiwiriiuiiu Investigation of Wlunemoro's case may be made by the underHlpned. ......

On Tuesday, July 30tb, the death-warrant arrived in this city, and in the absence of Sheriff Henry C. Howell, J.'E. Salter, Esq., his Solicitor, proceeded to the prison quarters of Winnemore, and there communicated to him the mournful intelligence that his doom was fixed. The prisoner, however, evinced no emo tion whatever, but simply muttered "yes! yes t" at intervals, and stared the messenger of death in the face, tie was then reminded that he had lees than a mouth's time in which to prepare for another world, to which he re plied: "I am now prepnred for the change, and have been. I have nothlnc to live for. aud I do not wish to live." The Drieoner was told that thero was no possi ble chance for a reprieve, pardon, or postpone ment; out even mis inteiiurence aid not move him, except to the declaration that he looked for nothing of the kind. 'But," he said, "after 1 am laid in my crave, this murder will come out, and prove my entire innocence." previous to this time. Winnsmnrs had re fused to consult a spiritual adviser. It wa supposed, however, that he would now yield iui point, una consent to receive the consola tions of the Christian religion. But when the matter was broached, he repeated his determi nation to hold out to the end without the as sistance ot a clergyman. A few days after this, two representatives of The Evening Telegraph, n company with Mr. Kilgore, waited upon him in his cell, for the purpose of lnauiring into his reasons lor such an unusual course. The result of the interview hiis already been given at length in these columns, and needs no detailed repetition.

He has prepared for the use of Mr. Kilnore a FKetcu ot his life, from which we have already published a number of extracts.

When Mr. Kllitore said to him that all bis efforts to secure a delay in his execution had been unsuccessful. and tnat it would be advWble for him to re linquish all hope ot a reprieve, he replied that he did not anticipate one, and did not wish it. T'i" rpmaraea mat in his opinion capital punishment ouirht to be done away with, and imprisonment for life substituted; but to this Winnemore strongly demurred, asserting that i WOinld r? hnn 4t T time than be locked up for life, and if his sentence should be commuted to the latter ho would be sorely dis appointed. tie further said that before they could cut his body down from the gallows he would be look ing at it in tbe spirit. And when he was thus set free from the earth, one of the first things he intended to do was to appear at night at the bedside of the District Attorney, and make him "pull the bed clothes over his head." He like wise Intends to pay spiritual attention to a number of people in the city, including several of the members of the press, in leturn, we pre sume, lor fancied wrongs or slights suffered by htm.

The strict rule which haq hitherto been observed will be adhered to, and none ex cept the Sheriff's assistants, the jury, the priso ner's counsel, and a few representatives of the press, will be admitted to witness the execu tion. The Crops of 1867. It ia yet too early to make anything like nccurnte calculations aa to tho atnouutof tho crops of this season. The effect of the Urotiftt on the Western corn, and of the army worm on the Southern cotton, la yet very uncertain. A rough cuess may, however, be made, whlcri will give some general Idea of the amount of our agricultural products. Something of this kind we llnd In the Boston Commercial Bulletin, which la ordinarily very well informed ou such subjects. It compiles the following table: Crop in I860. Estimated Crnps in 1S67.

It appears that one of the men belonging to the establishment happened to spill in the cellar some petroleum, and another, in endeavoring to wipe up the oil, set fire to some of the umammabla mate rials about, and the flames spread instanta neously. Assistance was immediately forth coming, and after an hoar's labor the con flagration was got under where the danger seemed greatest. But at that moment a fright ful explosion of petroleum and gas took place, blowing up the cellar, and injuring a great number of persons in the street above. Not fewer than eighty were more or less wounded, and some of them severely. Thirteen of the firemen had to be taken to the hospital, badly burnt, as well as ten soldiers of the 81st Regiment.
