F.RROK8 00KRKCTED.
Anions otner statement made to tis yesterd,
tia detailed the correct facts of the curly lifo of
Twltchell and tils first relations with the woman who
uli(wouuUy became his wife. The most ejrreKtous
mistakes have appeared In rcpard to this relation
inin and 'ho circumstances of the marriage. Ithjis
Iweu nopularlv supposed that he was th.i n.iphew of
Mrs. Vt ore, the sister of the second wife of the elder
TwltchelL On the contrary, lleonre H. Twitch ell, Jr.,
was the son of the llrstwile of 111 father, and whs
already a child two year of apre when his father mar
ried a Sliss Knilly Skinner. This Miss Skinner was a
muter of Mrs. Moore, and consequently the latter la ly
bore no relationship at ull to the child, except tint
whk.h was acquired v the niurriatre. His lnfaucy
and attractive disposition, however, drew all towards
him. until his step-mother regarded him as a sou of
hot own, and Mrs. Moore a nephew of her own.
'Hts step-mother soon had children, aud he was
Tanked in every way with them.
CAMILLA AITEM18.
When Oeorfto was almost sis years of a(?n his
rather purchased a house on Tenth street, oclow
'rauisoui, aud fitted It up for the reception of bU
lanitly, Mrs. Twitehell piiylnR a visit to Cincinnati
. pending the repairs. Now, who occupied tho dwell
ing next adjoining the one purchased by the elder
TwiUihell? Mrs. 11111, the lady afterwards murdered,
uwi hr .tanchter Camilla, At this time It was that
the latter and Mr. Twltchell, Sr., first became
au-anainted. That acquaintanceship was the polson-
s beginning from which sprang all the after
tragedy, unhapplncss, murder, and suicide. Mrs.
Twltchell returned from Cincinnati, moved Into her
new house, but lived there but a brief while. In
three or four years, after a marriage of some eight
. jeare sue men.
TUB LIF AT CARPBNTBR'8 LANDING.
With tier death, Mr. Twltchell disposed of tho
konseandthe furniture, and subsequently took his
Children to a farm ne ownea at carpenter s ianoing,
Uloucester county, N. J. J'rlor to taking them
there, however, he, for a while, had thera boarding lu
this city, with Camilla to attend to them. This
woman made It known, to tise her own expression,
that "she was their governess." When the children
went to Carpenter's Landing she likewise accom-
Vw,r.t tn ant UJ hi ll I Hnt PPlltT At t ll ftt 1 1 m .
she was about twenty-nine rears of Hgc; young
tieorge, who was under her control, being only
eleven years of age. It will at once be marked
that she was eighteen years the cider. Thirteen
years of comparative quiet life passed at the I-a.idlng.
George had advanced to manhood, and worked ou
the farm industriously and steadily. Camilla mill
retained her position in the house ostensibly as
housekeeper. At this juncture came a break. Camll-
. la's aunt, living In the city of Washington, wrote to
her, requesting that she would visit the capital for a
. couple of weeks. Camilla Hhowed this to tho elder
TwitcheD, expressed her Intention to go, and askad
Aim to allow lleorge to accompany her. With wh it
result? At first reluctant, Twitctn-11, Sr., consented,
. ana the two started, t ieorge had promised hlB father
to be back In a week, and he returned In six days.
"Where is Camilla?" asked Twltchell, Sr.
"Oh V replied the son, "her visit Is not yet np; Ehe
. Will be back in another week, and wauU mo to timet
. Iter at the suit ion with the carriage."
"Very well."
And then the conversation ended.
- TUB MAKKIAOK.
On the appointed day tleorgo went to the sta
tion, bnt neither brought back Camilla nor returned
. himself. Night passed and they inado no upnear
auoc. Concerned, U not alarmed, on the folliJwiujr
hiorning, the fatter was about starting to investi
gate the matter, w hen a note wad put into his hand,
con veylng tho information :
"We tvn raaiTifld last niRlit by tho Rev. John Chwa

, "Okokok and Camilla! H
The freshly-Joined pair took boarding for a couple
Of years, until, at the persuasion of Mrs. 11111, they
went to live In her dwelling. When she purchased
; the property at the corner or Tenth and Tine streets
they accompanied her thither.
Ah was well said by the estimable lady who gave
. os the foregoing information, "George did not marry
her; Bhe married Ueorge."
GEOKOK IN l-KIHON CAMILLA OUT.
With the circumstances of the murder, tho arrest
. of the two, their trial, the conviction of the husband,
and the acquitUil of the wife, the public are already
acquainted.
Our informant was with the unhappy man as f rc
. fluently as possible during his trial and Incarceration.
None showed htm more sympathy and kindness, and
for none did he feel as much affection. bUe is en
tirely assured of his innocence. During the last
wek of lils life she was with him In his cell almost
. every day. Of course, she held frequent and intl
Kate conversation with him.
In all points he conllrmed hta "confession" already
published in the papers, lie averred lw truth the
ay before his death.
Tie said to our informant many times, with great
niphasta, and every appearance of truth:
h I , 1 am innocent of that crime. It In
.ery hard that I nave to buffer for a tiling I did
not do l"
The following were likewise some of his remarks:
"I will never be able to go down to the gallows!"
"I was sleeping on the lounge when Camilla called
ne. 1 hurried down, and (the was running np and
down the floor, wringing her hands and exclaiming.
Oil, George, I got into a difficulty with mother, and
have killed her save me!' I was so frightened that
I didn't kuow -what 1 did. My first impulse w
to give the alarm, but she canght hold of my arm and
held me back. When we bad lifted her out of tho
window I ran back to my room and threw myself on
the bed, without washing my hands."
A day or two preceding hta death he signed a paper
In the presence of two witnesses, giviug hta body to
the lady whom he called "aunt," for Interment at
her disposal. This gave her entire -control of his
remains, so that she had the authority to exclude
from the funeral any whom she did not deairo to be
present. .
In relation to the pnkrr he said :
"1 know nothing about the poker. I dldnt know
ft was In the yard. I never hud my hands on lu Tho
llrst I knew about it was in the morning at the le
anest." TAIJC8 WITH CAMILLA.
On Saturday afternoon, the 13th of March, Camilla
Twltchell said to our informant:
"I hear that yon are going to Harrlsburg. llow
would it do for me to go with you?"
"Not at alL I wouldn't think of going with yon,"
replied our informant
"You and McCully," continued Camilla, "are going
Bp together?"
"Yea."
"When yon do go np," then said Camilla, "what
rer you do don't auk fur a yardon fur him, I don't
wont you to auk fur a pardon !"
Afterwards, on tho 16th of March, our informant
did go to llarrlsbiirg in company with Mr. McCully.
ller endeavors, of course, was unsuccessful.
f The son of our Informant was present during the
Joregotng conversation. He asked Camilla:
."W hat became of the money?"
, "i'he one who did the murder," she replied, "must
JWve earrled it off."
"Do you think that the body was thrown ont of the
window?" he then enquired.
1 know," she answered, "that It was never turown
ont of the window."
"What makes you think so?"
"I think," she answered, "that It was carried
Town."
Our Informant then said :
"If It was carried down, there would hare been
Hood all the way down the stairs."
Camilla resitouded:
"Oh, no 1 'or whoever took her down hal a
towel and held it under the bleeding head. We
found a towel In the screen (the screen or shed In tho
yard). Bhe was laid down too carefully to have been
thrown out of the window. Her clothes were tucked
tn too nicely for her to have been thrown out Had
he been thrown ont the blood would have been
nattered all arouud in the yard. On the other hand,
Uer was only the pool of blood which had run out
from Ui how in hur head made by the poker. The

CincniWATi, April 13. It is understood tnat
the ofllcers of the Cincinnati, Hamilton, and
Dayton Railroad Cotnpanyhave reconsidered their
determination to bold the freight of the Great
Western Despatch and Erie Railway Company
at their depot In this city, aud have made a virtue,
of necessity by delivering the same without re
ceiving the arbitrary pro rata which they hod
dcuanded. This was owing to the fact th-,
consignees who had their freight detIn0(j
threatened to commence suit If it lV9 noj
promptly delivered. Tho Eric and Atlantic and
Gteat Western Despatch Compeiicg are now re
ceiving their freight by the Uulo Miami road,
and forwarding from Cincinnati' by tho Btunc
route, every faeUHy In the power of tho oflleers
of the Little Mhtuil Railroad having been fully
grunted. Tlerc appears to lsi no doubt of the
fact that Jay Gould and James Flsk, Jr., have
resolved upon a new road from Dayton, and
proposals have been Invited from railway con

HpeeitU Dltpateh to The Hmtning Tete&raph.
New Yokk, April 13. The Commercial AU
vertiter's Washington special thl P. M. soys the
Cabinet is in session today. All the members
are present, and a prolonged and important ses
sion npon Cuban affair is anticipated. It is ru
mored that news has beeu received of the sailing
of a large expedition for the aid of the Cuban
patriots.
In relation to Cuba there exist serious appre
hensions. It is feared that events may compel
the United States Government to extend physical
as well as moral aid to Cubit, and that the Euro
pean powers may Join Spain in demanding an
absolute neutrality. Secretary Fish is opposed
both to the President and a majority of the
Cabinet, and regards the cause of Cuban inde
pendence as hopeless, and desires to base the
Government policy ou that view. It is antlei-.
putcd that this diversity of opinion may lead to
a reorganization of the Cabinet. The Navy De
partment is preparing for emergencies, and our
iron-clads are being fitted for sea with ail ac
tivity. I'eepateh to the AteoeiaUd rre&L,
