George soon discovered what gad caused my swoon, and while ho was occupied in restoring me to consciousness, the man who was with him examined the writing-desk, to see If any papers could he found which would throw any light on the subject. Ile found a letter, without any address, in which the deceased stated his intentions of oommitting suicide, and gave as his reasons for the crime, that he had forged to a large amount to meet press'ng, necessities ; and that when . it was disco ered, he fled to the West, hoping to cecap from Tunishment. Be had trusted that. he might oulligh 4iis disgrace, and be enable to commence a life of hongst indttstry ; but hearing through a letter frail an accomplice, that the offi cers of justice were oh his tra'fik, heltitirin despair resolved to anticipate retribution, and place himself %yowl their power.
