A 51'll IDK AM) THE STOllT IT 11ECAI.I.S.
A recent item in the Hart Foul, Connecti
cut papers, recording the timling at -Mid
lietovvn t,F tho b.xly uf a laboring man, ap- j
parentlj alxttit 00 jcars oF age,. which was i
aFteit- Hri. idenlifit'tl as Tatrick Xiifient, if ;
(Jromwell, furnishes an npjairl unity to
rn.ike public the facts of a case that has '
long boon cstct muu, by those familiar with ;
it, as one of Ihe most icniaikabie instances
of the woi lh less 1 1 ess of circumstantial evi- j
deuce on icctnH. Xuw that the accuscil
has tragically met his death at the very :
sj-ot antl in the very manner that, nineteen j
years ago, Lo was suspected of enditifj the
life of another, it st eins right that a clear
aud coherent story of the whole- afl'air j
should be given, that his memory may be '
cleared of the aspersions that have been
cast upon him during life, by those antl
there arc many who would never admit, '
even in ll,e face of direct evidence, that I
they could so have wronged a man.
In its issue of February 4, 1S7-J, the Con- '
ffituli'on, a week 13 newspaper, published
at Middletown, Countc icut, coutaiued the '
following:
Charles K. Sago, a son nf Edmund S.ige, j
left his home in Cromwell a. week ago last. J
Thursday, to work on a distant, part of tho j
farm. He was seen at work then; until
ahottt. noon, since wiien no traro can be I
fop ml of him. Humors that, a hoy lik him :
k:nl been seen turned out uurelialile, ami .
all were t raced to one mmiii c. n Tuesday,
neighbors turned tint, and a thorough scan h 1
was mad.'. I-.vnleiico was found that, in
the mit.t'.s of those prest-nr, was siitti"i:tit to
convince. I hem thai be nail met wit 11 foul

One morning in tho eaily autumn of i
18"7, otne boys strolling along the Con
necticut shore of Long Island Sound, about
a mile east of ihe Connecticut liiver, found
a headless corpse upon the beach, which
had evidently been washed up by the waves, j
The head was entirely gone, aud but little
flesh remained upon the bones, indicating j
that the body bad been long in the water. (
Of clothing there was only Ihe remnant of j
one stocking. A physician from the neixb
boriug village of Lyme was summoned, and
m-onouuetd tho opinion that the bones
w ere those of a boy about M years old. j
The body was temporarily interred on ibo '
beach, a lit tie wooden cioss marked the
spot, ami a statement of the facts sent lo a
New London paper by a lawyer of the
town.
The statement in the New London paj-er
was seen by Mr. Sage, father of the missing

where, tin healing the facts, be had tho j

had recently appeared in town looking for
work, had, while temporarily employed by
Mr. Sage, suddenly declared that lie had
been a witness of the murder, that on the
day of Sage's disappcrance he was passing
through Cromwell in a violent snow storm,
when he heard noises at a barn, ami going
to the locality, saw Nugent inflict the fatal
blow upon Sage with a threshing flail ; that
Nugent then discovered his presence, and I
threatened to take his life if he ever be
trayed him ; that be had kept silent till
now through fear, but that young Sage bad
appeared to him in a vision and demanded
that he should reveal the facts. As Ben
son was a delicately-built little foreigner,
weighing only 100 pounds, while Nugent
was of strong build, the statement was at
once accepted as true, aud Nugent was re
arrested. ! On the 4th of October Nugent was'
I brought be f re Just .co T. Warner, as
j sisted by James Edwards, Moses Culvert,
State's Attorney, for the State, and Walter
! S. Carmry, now of New Yoik city, for tho
prisoner. The first w it ness called was Miss
j Enzabeih W. Sage, who testified that her
brother left home at 8 a. m., on the day
w hen he was last seen; that she saw Nugent
that night, and im-tuired as to his wherea-
j bouts, when, after some hesitation, he an
! sweied : "You will not see Charles t-
night. Ktlwaid Sage, tho father, testified
that Nugent had been in his employ six
years; was disclarged the first of the
month. Tho day of the disappearance,
Nugent was threshing oats at Mr, Sugo's
barn whither Chai les weut. As he did not
return at tho proper time, the father went
several times, searching for him, and Nu
gent very reluctantly assisted in the seat ch,
but would not go up on tho hay mow.
Mrs. Nugent told witness that Nut-uland
Charles "had a clinch." Witness then
testified as to his trip to Lyme, and exhum
ing the remains found there, and his belief
that they were those of his son. Isaac D.
Baldwin testified to clots of blood found
among the hay; to blood spots found on
the barn floor three feet square, some of
which he scraped up with a knife, and to
tracks in tho snow leading from the bain
to the Connecticut liver. Six oilier wit
nesses, including the village doctor, testi
fied similarly in lefcrcuce to the hay being
much tumbled, and to Llood on the barn
floor, and the tiacks leading to tLe liver
wero desciided as those that would be
made by peisons di awing some substance
in a bag ; that a hole was also found in the
ice, into which it was supposed that the
body had been thrust, while a pole idculi
lied as from Sago's woodpile was found
near by, and in addition a piece of a plaid
coat lii ing that. Miss Snge identified as
from a shawl of hers, which bad sc-ived
laler to lino her brother's coat.
There wero few, if any, persons in the
room who would not have voted for con
viction on the spot, v it hout waiting for the
State's conclusive and final evidence, the
testimony of Benson. Yet all eyes were
turned intently upon the witness as "John
Amos Benson' was called. Giving his tes
timony in a cool and collected manner, be
said :
I heard some one threshing in tho barn;
went tip to it, and beard swearing ; looked
in through the crack and heard Nugent
is:l, "you have often moved the old horse
from the place where I had placed him,' and
you shall never do it again." Nugent then
struck Charles Sage with his flail across the
back and shoulders, and then on the head.
Felling him to tho floor on his face, and
breaking tho flail staff. lie tucked the
broken staff into the straw, came buck,
turned Sage over, and gave him a "jab"
antl then came to the door, looking very red
in the face. Seeing mo, he exclaimed,
"How long have yon been here ?" I made
no reply. When Nugent came out of the
barn, 1 saw he had a large jack kuifa in his
''and that was bloody. The knife he gave
mo before I left in the morning. I said,
"It is very cold." Nugent, said, "Yes,
come into the house." Between the house
and barn Nugent said, "I "nave a j ib I want
you to hell, me do." I said, - Well." We
then weut in, and Nugent, asking bis wife
for warm water, washed his hands, and we
"di inked." Nugent then weut out for
fifteen or twenty minutes, and on bis returu
we "drinked" again. Nugent then asked
mo if I was ready. I said, "les. e
then went Vt the south barn and drew the
corpse to the east door, when Nugent weut
round the not th side of the barn, took a
Ixe'id, and shoved it into the east door. At
this door the sill is some six ami a half feet
above the ground, a cellar lieing under the
barn. I put the btnly on the board, an.!
we slid it on to Ihe ground ; then we car
ried it to the north barn and laid it on the
ll.rur. Nugent got on to the mow, and I
lifted the b.rdy till Nugent got hold of it
and drew it up. 1 then got up, and we
carried it to the next mow. Nugent got
up and I raised the body till lie got bolt I of
it ami Dulled it up. Hero we left it and
went to the bouse. Nugent said, "It you
tell t.f it, I can get enough tt) kill you any
time." Ho then said bo would go after
some liquor, and bis wife said she would go
with him. She wanted to tell the old man.
I stayed with Nugent all this night, and
left the next morning Fr Westorfield.
j The defence offering no testimony, tho
case was submitted without argument. Af
ter a few moments' consultation, the court
announced that Patrick Nugent stood com
mitted to Haddam jail, to be held for trial
before the next term of Supreme Court.
Upon the meeting t.f tho court in Decem
ber, a grand jury found a true bill against
Nugent, and his trial was ordered for the
next term of court, in February, 185S.
Everything seemed nov to point to tho
speedy conviction of Nugent, when to the
astonishment of most of the inhabitants of
Cromwell, tho Constitution of December
21, 1857, under the head of "Strange Devel
opments," announced that the community
was in an extraordinary state of excitement
over dcelopments in the case of Charles
E. Sage. After recapittilatingthe evidence
against Nucnt, it says : "The case was
very strong, and conviction seemed inevi
table, But Charles Sage is ftJire.,J The
paper goes oi. to narrate that a nephew of
Mr. Sage, jr., residing in Ithaca, New
York, had received a certain letter from
Pennsylvania, signed "William Russell,"
that contained si.niy aliir-ions to young
Sage, w hich aroused the suspicions of the
brolher-in law of Mr. S.i",e, sr., to an ex
tent that led him to" visit Pennsylvania,
wheto lie discovered that "Mr. Hussell"
was n) other than his nejiew, themiasing
Charles E. Sage. Taking the lad with him
to Ithaca, Mr. Williams (the brother-in-law)
then visited Croinfe'll and revealed
his discovery, whereupon Mr.fiage went to
Ithaca and identified his son. The paper
adds that measures were at twice put on foct I
to secure Benson, who was still living at
Cromwell, and release Nugent.
An extra session of Ihe Supreme Court
was called at Middletown, when a nolte i
jroeqti was entered, and Nugent dis
charged. The la officers sent to arrest
Benson found him at a Methodist prayer
meeting engaged in exhorting sinners to
repentance a favoiite occupation of his at
this juncture, lie was carried to jail, and,
his trial having been adjourned over from
February to April, lSoS, he was then bro't
before the Supreme Court in session in the
old town of Haddam. Benson plead not
guilty to a chaige of perjury. For the
State, there testified Sage, senior, his
daughter Elizabeth, and the long-missing i
Charles E. Sage. Tho evidenco of each j
was briefly given, and that of 3onug Sage j
quite disappointed the audience, who had j
hoped that the mystery of his disappearance ;
would now be explained. But as the State !
only had to prove his existence, his testi- j
tnony was exceedingly aggravating by its j
bievity, being simply to the effect that ho
was alive auJ well.
The defence introduced a witness or two
who testified as to Benson's good behavior
w hile in their employ, anil to his lack of
mental ability, the object being to show
that be had not flrit enough to concoct from
w hole cloth such a story as he had told, and
that somebody must have beeu assaulted,
as ho describes, on the night in question ;
henco tbat ho was not guilty of perjury iu
supposing it to be Sage, when he learned
that the lad was missing. But although to
this day Home of the people of Cromwell
believe that a murder must have been com
mitted, and allege that a peddler wont to
apjiear there was never seen after that
night of tho supposed murder, and others
assume that tho lid who returned was not
the genuine Sage, yet the jury bad no trou
ble in agreeing, anil speedily brought in a
verdict of guilty. A motion for the arrest
of judgment was entered, and the case went
over to tho Septcuibcr term of the court,
when the motion was withdraw n, and Ben
son sentenced to State prison for life. In
18C1 he was pardoned out to enter the Uni '
ted States volunteer service in the latowar,
aud, it is said, has since died.
As has been intimated before, tho con
viction of Benson for petjury did not for
ever settle the mystery in the minds of all
cognizant of the facts, while tho counsel
far the State to this day affirm that Benson
privately confessed his perjury to them,
when arrested, his own counsel, cx-Post-master
Calef, of Middletown, asserts that
to him he ever asserted bis innoconco, and
that he to this day believes that Benson did
see some one muidered. As to Sage, sen
ior and junior, and to tho Nugent family,
there have also been widely diverging opin
ions, some l-elieving a story, said to origi
nate with the Nugeiiis, that on the day of
the disappearance of young Sage, Mrs. Nu
gent found him in a situation that led her
to charge him with attempting improper
liberties upon her daughter, and that the
f.'iet of this scandal and of the father's hard
treatment led him to flee the town. Some
held that the father knew of bis son's flight
and jerMiadcd the Nugent to prevent tho
true cans thereof being known, while
others believed him guiltless of this, but
(hat young Sage fled from n tyrannical
father, while others held Mrs. Nugent privy
to tho plot against her husband. At all
events the opular feeling was against tho
Sages, so much to that the family finally
removed to New Jersey.
Concerning the recent death of Nugent,
a friend from Cromwell writes as follows:
"His son in law informs me ho left home
Thursday, June 1, after some difficulty
with his wife. He had been at work in
West field, and it was sup rosed t hat be bad
returned theie. The statement in the pa
peis covered all the gioti id relative to the
diseovcry of the body, w hich had evidently
leen in the water three or four days. The
snpK)sitiou is that the mat) went from bis
house to what is known as the 'High
Banks' on the l iver and there drowned him
self, as he had repeatedly threatened to
j do." The son in-law says that his wife
drove him out of tho house, and that he
J had l-een unable to woik lot several days
ou account of illness.

North Dorset is a pretty hamlet in Yer
mont. near the Hoosac. The grand (.recti
Mountains tower up on either side and
nestled iu tho peaceful valley are the few
rambling houses and workmen's huts that
go to make up tho settlement. It is easy
eiir-ugh to see, at the fii.-t glance, that
North Dorset is not a rich place, f,,r tho
people lot.k anything bnt wealthy, the fauns
have an uncaren for appeaiai.ee, and tho
houses are of the most fumble down and
dilapidated description. A curious anoma
