Ens. Cosr.—Every man is Interested in the faithful- administration of the law, and every case in which its full vigor has been expended should lg carefully scrutinized—as when life is taken no remedy is left the State, and no repara tion can be made. Markley was execu ted at Frederick City, Maryland, in the summer of IM3O, for the murder of seven persons—his uncle and aunt and three children ; his aunt's father nod mother. His guilt was so clearly established that no num in a populous city and county doubted it, yet upon the gallows and fur days before the execution, he persisted In his inuoi - Tnee. The execution was public, in the presence of a very large concourse of citizens the attending clergyman, after the rope was adjusted, returned three tinges, and each time re ceived the same answer. "I never mur dered them, nor do I know who did:' This answer was made known to the crowd each time, and not one human being present but - was convinced that, to special cruelty, was added a stolieity and stubborness, never before manifest ed in man. His body was given to sur geons as soon as removed from the gal lows, and in an adjoining barracks (built by the English before time Revolution, ) was publicly dissected, in the presence of a number of physicians and medical stu dents, (of whom the writer was one,) and the entire day given to anatomical I demotistratiuns, by medical gentlemen selected for the purpose. No man ob jected, no friend asked for the body, hod but cue human being on earth then liv ed who knew that Mal k ley was innocent, and he was silent then, but an important witness during the trial. .No man will doubt the fairness of the trial when I mention the tact that Judges Buchanan end Shrives presided, amid the bar of. , Frederick was second to none in the U nion. James Dixon, Esq.,wasprosehutor, ' and the sleighs were attorneys for de -1 fense. The jury did not leave the box, and in the sentence Chief Justice Bu chanan, with tears, werted his full as sent to the verdict of guilty, and said that iu a long life he had never heard so atrocious a ease. , We will now detail preliminaries and give the testimony of one witness, from whose statements there could be but one conclusion and that of guilty: The prisoner was an orphan, and by the court was'bound to his uncle for a term of years, in the usual manner, to re ceive certain education, and at his ma jority to have a certain sum of money. The boy was indisposed to go to school and was idle, yet was not regarded as vi cious. Living in the country, and in a faultily where every moral duty was il lustrated, and Where kindness was the' ruling element, he had nearly comple ted his apprenticeship, without any spo cia; objections being formed by his uncle or aunt, and possibly had not the loss of thirty-flve dollars been diSeovered and traced to the boy, all would have gone on well until he had filled the time of his indenture. This • was the youth's only offense, and after a full confession, AVM heartily forgiven,.and as far as the family knew, the fact was-ton tined to themselves, and almost forgotten, By means as yet unknown, the fact became known, and the uncle was summoned before the grand jury, and was compell ed to testify to the truth, ar.(l in despite of his entreaties that time aftair should be re g arded as a youthful indiscretion, a "true bill for Larte»y" was found, the boy arrested, thrown Int 6 jail, and con victed and sentenced to the penitentiary for tines. years. - He was taken to the penitentiary, and notwithstanding the most solemn assu t rances of his uncle and aunt, that they were not culpable in the exposure, and deeply sympathized with him in . his punishment, he believed they were not sincere, and said it was done to avoid the payment of his "freedom ihoney." He I regarded them as his worst enemies, and as they were the only witnesses, swore to be avenged upon his discharge from prison. His uslble could not make him comprehend the duty of a witness, and parted with In tears, not more from the disgrace of the boy-than from the sorrow that he should feel as he did toward a family whose - hearts bled at the misfor tune of their relative. Anxious to disa buse his mind, he visited the prison, and 'returned sorrowing that his nephew should, even after time should have mol lified his feelings, still hold him respon sible and to the last threaten his life and that of his entire family. He would be revenged, and it should be summary and sure. So frequently, before his eon- Alnement in the Penitentiary; wore these throats made as to be known to many persons, and everyman from this neigh borhood, who was permitted by the rules of the prison to visit Markley, heard from aim the same threats, and spoke of them publicly. If the uncle ever enter tained fears, he hever spoke of them and time passed to the completion of the term of the nephew's sentence, when immediately thereafter, on a Saturday night, the uncle's house was discovered to bo on fire, and, before any help could sestet', was burned with the entire con tents. No soul was left alive to tell the sad tale of their sleuths, and on examina tion of their charred remains, every one was found with the skull cleft, This left no room todoubt that the entire fam ily had been murdered and - the house burned to conceal the fact. In a- coot ' munity where crime is almost unknown every member was on the alert to dis cover the murderer, anti the threats of 1 young Markley had their potential sig nificance. His dismissal from prison was amer tillned ; more than that he was Been near , the farm but two days before the fire, IN order to prove the assertions aide in and, after an inquest, the Governor of f."' of procuring PHOTOGRAPHS et the few a reward of one thousand dollars, srilsior usilery, call awl sit for; your and bills were posted describing the sup- PIeTUAIL No *barge will be mode Maass posed murderer.

ILIECEMSTANTIA F. TESTIMONY A STRANCiE STORY. foreign or coast trade should be overhaul ed,aud yet without avail. Special po lice visited other States. Cities were placarded with descriptions, and indi viduals joined the Stute and county in swelling the reward to such sums as call ed on hundred& to - quit ordinary .avoca tions and turn special attention to bunt ing the mut.lerer. The South Mountain was new the farm of the uncle. Old hunters who had hunted foxes and cata mounts, explored caves and caverns nev er before visited by man. All failed, and for three yzars no means were left un tried. So great a crime had, perhaps, never been committed in the State. Meetings in every county and large city in the State were held, and the executor of the estate of the uncle offered (as there were no immediate heirs) the entire farm .or the discovery of the murderer, and no one doubted who he was. Three years thus passed, when news reached the settletnen t that young Mark ley had been arrested, down on the North Carolina• coast, near Ocracoke Inlet, where he had been for three'yeam enga ged in fishing. Perhaps no clasi of hu man beings are more depraved and se cluded than the fisherman of the coast. Ear'y in February the shad approach this coast, and &dm than until May, are caught in large numbers, by men who have no earthly ties, and know no homes but their huts, and spend their leisure in drinking.• lint-few survive two years, yet this healthy young man was in the third year of dissipation and exposure, and survived. How •he was identified, was never known. He was brought to Frederick City and placed in jail. He admitted he saw the house on tire, but denied any knowledge of the deaths or the causes of them. At the next. session of. the court, he was indicted for the mur der of_seven persons, and the trial was short, the proofs conclusive, and sen tence followed. Before proceeding further I must in troduce the principal wituees, a young lady named Susan. She was raised by the family, and was not related to them —the child of a dear friend of the aunt, and was an orphan. She had grown to womanhood without feeling her orphau age or depenileuee, and was more an equal and comp:Mien of Mrs. Markley, than a dependant. Her band was solic ited in marriage by several Young men, and by none so importunately us a wid ower named P—, who owned the ad joining farm, and between whom and Mr. Markley there had been a lawsuit involving the title to a mountain lot of wood, and the suit resulted in favor of Mr. Markley. Except this one suit there was known no cause of disagree ment between these neighbors, anti the grown children of Mr. P. visited the M irk/eys after the suit as before, the fa ther never, yet, he embraced every oppor tunity to address Susan. She declined his ['actresses, as she did others, alleging she never would quit the home where she found those as near and dear 85 her own mother and father, rued as now the cares of ehildren were added to the anx ieties attendant upon the increasing years of Mrs. Maykley's Parents ( living with them,) she could not think of de serting aunt, as she called Mrs. Markley. eluch was Susan, and such was the rela t.ou between her and the Markley fam ily. She appeared in court In the deepest mourning, and, although three years had elapsed—the presence of the supposed murderer—the recollection of past scenes and Vie horrid murder of those who were more than parents—her all in the world, so overcame her, that the court granted her full time to relieve her feelings, and every heart sympathized with the double and distressed orphan. I will not detail her entire testimony, but the part most Interesting and daunting in the case. She said, on the day of the murder her uncle, aunt and herself had gone to Fred erick, taal ie the afternoon she and:her aunt were, in Mr. Fisher's jewelry store looking at some jewelry, when her uncle passed by. They called him in and her aunt begged him to buy a breast pin for her (Susan.) He refused, alleging that he had just paid his taxes and had spent aH of his money, and seemed angry at the increase, of taxes over the year be fore, asserting that the farmers could scarcely pay them from the proceeds of the farm, and hurried them up to get ready to return home, as it was Satur day, and many things were to be done preparatory to the Sabbath. He request ed them to remain there, and h 3 would bring the carriage, and they would start Mime from there. They started, and on the way home she and aunt plagued un cle about the pin, jesting him about peo ple feeling so poor. and kept up a running conversation about people getting aver cious as they grew older, and he (uncle) evidently showed sorrow for not having purchased the pin. "It was the first re quest he ever refused me, and showed regret at his petulance." Immediately after reaching home, he went up stairs for lome tools, and brought down a rem need of a vest, and asked aunt if she re membered it. She replied it was his wedding vest. It was made of a very thin changeable silk, and was worn out around the pockets and collar. He call ed it his new vest and said he would wear it to church the next day. She or aunt told him it was too much worn, and bantered him t 2 bet them the breastpin mentioned, tbtff they would so mend the rents and repair it as that he would not wear it to church with his coat unlade toned. He accepted the bet, and went out. After supper, aunt got down a bag containing scraps and pieces, and she and I cut out the worn parts of the vest and together patched it with a piece of blood red flannel. Uncle's bed was In the sitting-room, and before we had com pleted the vest, and made it as ridiculous as poesible, he, as was his custom, went to bed. fter completing the vest, we 2 ,, th hung it or e . bed post, so he would see it the firs thing in the morning, and we both bell ed he would not wear it. , At this I point, a vest found in young Markley'4 bundle when arrested, was handed to her, and before unrolling it she described the manner in which the patches were cut, and with what kind of d trk and -coarse thread they were inser ted. She was nearly overcome when are unrolled the vest; and here, as she bad described, was the identical vest, niched as -she had described. It was tie vest that she had hung on the bed ,st, arid with it came a crowd of asso &Lotion:4 too great for the poor heart roken girl. She sobbed aloud, and ev ry eye in that Court-house but the pris oner'snd neighbor P- 7 's WWI bedew ed witl teaf's. It was in proof that it as fondin a small bundle of clothes n the ) possesion of Markley when ho as intrusted. This, with his having i eon seen near the house two days be- 1 ore; kis many and reiterated threats; is knowledge of the house, £c., confirm d the opinion of - all that he was the al one . In answer to, his attorney , rrhe e be got the vest, he could only say, 'he die net know." To have carried(' vest h o t worth five cents for three years and :hndreds of miles—never to have worn , (nor could lie—it WAS too large) Was aleged by ell as special directions of Providence, leadinl •to his conviction and ,planishment for the crime of "mar !der most foul." . Susan was recalled "Where were iyou I during the remainder of the night ,that ypu escapee the lire?" She answer ed, .i. After placing the vest ou the bed 40T11 YEAR, NO. 21. post, I assisted aunt to do some mend lug, and after w,p had finished every thing and sitting - by the fire talking and laughing over uncle's surprise, when he would see the vest in the morning, we heard a rapping at the front door, and we went with the candle to see who was I there. We found a son and daughter of our ittext, neighbor, Mr. P—, who had come overt° get me to stay with them. 'fist. said their father sent them, as be hadbust heard that his father (living some ten miles atatant) was taken and denly ill and he must go down to see him, and requested them to go over and have me sta i n with them during the night. I had;often done so, and throw ing on a bolt and shawl went with them. Durin the night we were awa kened by old Ir. P—, who had re turned, as he laid, from his father's, and saw then the house was on lire—hurried over; but never saw any one of.the fam ily alive. Several men were there; Uut so thoroughly on fire was the house that none of us dared venture within it." The testimony of the coroner and the party arresting young Markley, closed the case, and resulted as I have already said—and Markley was executed denying any knowledge of the murder—but con fessed seeing the house on tire, and leav ing the country, because of the house be ing burnt, fearing he might be accused of it, and solemnly asserting that he nev er knew a murder had been committed, or that the house had been set on fire until after his arrest. He admitted he had been in the neighborhood several days; hail slept around on hay -lofts and was anxious to return to his uncle's, but fear ed to do so ; had a little money and got soma slaves to purchase him whiskey, and spent his time in the negro quarters, afraid or ashamed to return to his un cle's. He often hoped he could meet some of the family, either his aunt or Su-an, and feared his uncle. All that he regretted was that be did not go at once to his uncle's and stay with him. He went to Baltimore after seeing the house on fire, traveling by nights only ; got aboard a coasting vessel, went South as a fisherman, and that was all he knew about it until after his arrest. Befo're his execution lie became very fat—and up to the last moment denied knowing anything of the murder or arson—seemed sorry'for his uncle's and aunt's deaths—acknowledged lie had made threats—confessed to having stolen the money for which lie was convicted; and asserted he had no ill feelings against the aged members of the family, and dearly loved the children. He could easily be brought to tears when spoken to about the horrible tragedy, and mani fested hint little fear or anxiety about the future. general impression was he would confess under the gallows, and that he' \YR, a hardened eriminal indif ferent to his fate—but at the last, when he saw no hope of pardon, would confess the entire crime, and not till be saw no means of escape would he confess. All were disappointed, and to this moment, thousands regard him its the most de based, hardened wretch 6ltiown to crime. The clergyman who visitisd him urged in the stronseg terms his full confession, and was pained after cacti visit to report no progress in his moraltcondition. He heard but the sanie statmhnts ; could not break the thread of the could'not embarrass him by questions, and felt fully convinced the poor miserable crea ture died with a "lie in his mouth." This accounts for his frequent return to the trap door immediately before the execution. I doubt not he felt more anguish andsorrow than poor Markley, andion his kneess he could but pray for forgiveness of the guilt, yet could not but be satisfied at the justice of the pun ishment. He felt—he knew, he was guilty, yet failed to reach the s recess of the soul of the dying man, and'helieved, with all the denials of the guilt, that Markley added bold, impudent lies to a crime without a parallel in the history of that State. He was a Christian and knew the power of confession and con trition. He cool(' make no promises to one who would not confess—who showed no contrition-for there is none for such. He could only say, "God be merciful' to him a sinner," without any assurances taut his prayer could be heard, or would Ile answered. He hoped on until the last monument, and left him with his God, without one assurranee of future bliss or one hope of pardon. lie knew If he could but open the secret recesses of his guilty heart, could but melt down his stubborn soul, could but get him to feel that he had committed a crime against humanity and the Supreme Being, that there were promises for even Markley, with the blood of seven souls upon his skirts •, but to hear his denials, and, in most dogged terms, assert his innocence, his defiance of law, and more; the in justice of his punishment,,was more than he could bear, and parted with him as one for whom in God's Infinite mercy there Is no place; nothing but "wrath, and a looking forward to a fiery and just indiwedion." This occurred in 1830. More than a quarter of a century after, the writer met, in Washington City, a resiii:mt of Maryland he had not seen for tweak years. Ho is a physician and surgeon of most excellent reputation. His rides are extensive, and althougn he does not reside In Frederick County, has much surgical practice there. On retir ing to bed after a pleasant afternoon with my friend, we were compelled, from the crowd, (being at the house of a mutual friend) to sleep together - , and I "asked him how long It had been since the same thing had occurred. We reckoned up the time and found it was at the period of the execution of Markley. When this time was judged the period, bespoke hurried ly and said: "Do you know that poor fellow was innocent?" The question brought me from bed, mmil there in the stillness of our room, "the doctor" de tailed the following facts: "I shall never forget that night. I sympathized with Markley on the gal lows. I pitied him then, and never more fervently Implored pardon for his horrible crime, but when I heard and WWI convinced he was innocent, every Ban:intent of sorrow I ever conceived crowded upon me, and I resolved if by detailing these facts some other poor outcast could be spared from a punish ment he did not merit, 1 would do a a duty to my fellow man. This is my motive, and if my friend, the doctor, should peruse these pages, he will for give the publication by one who feels a duty he cannot avoid. Besides, in broth er of Markley is buried in my town. He died without knowing the fate of an elder brother, but for the sake of one who faithfully performed his duty, at though a maniac, these lines are written, TILE DOCTI)II,'S ST4TEMAINT. "I was sent for to see the Mr. P., (men tioned in the preceding part of thi rat, ve,l in consultation • with Dr. Mf Frederick oily. After learning the his tory of the case I expressed regret that I should have been called so great a dis tance without any prospect of doing any good. He was excessively emaciated, was hypochondriacal and for weeks re fused food. His physician and family had urged every argument to induce him to eat; had on many occasions forced him from his bed into a carriage; had, indeed, kept hint traveling fur several weeks; had brought to hear upon him all [Dona influences, to break in upon his morbid fancies and supposed intaglio).- tiye sufferings, to no avail. The dup.*. din tritssoftesing-of the Molar death/ He 'had been frankly= but the day before I wee puirotionedlo see him of these epinitme, and thus q "bee induced to request - my advice. I heard with interest all the statements made by his son and daughter, as well as the phy syclan, and, without arrogating to my self any special credit, I could net brim t my mind to their cutlet uelons.; Here was - a man who lived in a section of country proverbial for health and longevity; his mind had never been overtaxed; hie pursuits had been farming, and as fares I knew, or could ascertain, nothing ever in his long life had greatly excited him. The lose A' his wife did not greatly de press him. He ens prosperous; his eld est daughter remained to cheer and com fort hint, and his eldest son, With hie family, occupied the homestead, and the relations of the family had beeia, and were then, most pleasant. He could not sleep without powerful anodynes. With out knowing why, anti you know It has frequently happened you In your prao tice, I conceived the bleu there was more in. the - ease than physical suffering or physical change and my questions to him were pointed and searching, somueh so that I found that I was on the right track, and he seemed couscious of my possessing power over him. I toldbint frankly I was not satisfied with all the statements made, but believed there were other and deeper causes of his suffering. He said, pointing to his heart, .that it was there. I said, it may be there. anti no doubt is there, but it is not in the to ws itself; it lain titelemotions, and feel-„ ings, and acts that are supposed by some physicians to he traced to the heart; and so believing I knew he had not treated his family and physielnn fairly in with holding from them anything that could throw light on his singular Miliction, and with emphasis said, you maid confide is use and tell me all. lie asked me the du ties of physicians as recipients of secrets, and I . repented that noble oath of Hippo crates, and said to him, all properly edu cated men in the profession regarded It with - a sacredness; that it could not be trespassed upon by courts, kings, or princes.; and in his easel should be gov erned by its obligations. This was all lio wanted, and requesting the room to tie ( cleared and cloned, ha asked me to get ;-pen and paper and write down what he I w:'s -about to tell me. And premising his remarks particularly with the fr.-I junction of secrecy during his life, and having received my promise that it should be obeyed in every particular, he commeneed by asking ate if I remember ed the murder of the Markley family, and the execution of the nephew for the murder? I told him Mid most vividly. With much feeling he then said: I com mitted that murder, and Markley was innocent. -Now, Doctor, write down what I tell you, and after I tun dead, it You think it right, and if the Nell ugs and Interests of others will justify it, I desire its publication. I heard young Markley WILY in the neighborhood, skulking about 1 barns and negro quarters, and sought him. I invited him to come to my house, or rather to sleep in my barn, and l'u'r nished ,him with food and, whiskey fur I two days before the murder. On &dm !day-evehhig I told my family I heard of my father's Muesli, and that I would I ride down to see him. I had often done so. I requested my son and daughter to Igo over to Markley's and got Susan to come over waapead the night wit/lAm. This, also, was usual. I waited until I ' saw them reach my house, and going to Murkley's, got his ax, went he his room, and with one blow dispatched hlm,Und with a second, his wife. With the same ax I killed the three children; and while debating how to proceed In regard to the I two old people, who slept up stairs, I ' heard a step on the stairs, and there encountered the old man,, slew hint, 1 , walked up-istalrs and killed tile old lady. 1 I then set to work to fire the house in several places; did so, and as I was about to leave, saw the vest on the foot of the bed, mentioned by Susan, rolled it up,, 1 put it in my pocket and rode home. I ' awaited the full blaze of the house be fore I awoke young Markley, who was sleeping in my barn, and without his. seeing me, slipped the vest into his bun dle, gave him three dollars-and told hits ' to fly for his life, as -he there saw the house burning, anti he would be itemised lof the act as he was in the neighborhood. !He was very much ultirtned, .but, after leaving me, he said he would never he taken Wive, as he would rather die than go agent to the Penitentiary. He- told the truth; he did not then know that a murder had been committed, nor that the house had been set on fire. If tied ! dental,, he only feared he might be accu sed of the fire. I did not arouse my own family and Arian until I found the house so Sully in flames as to be impost ; sible for any one to enter. My only mo tive was revenge for Markle ' s beating me in tine suit, and love for Susan, *who, ' I hoped would marry me, when she had ilea home; and, moreover, I believed I should have prospered in my suit to 9u -1 san had not the Markleys objected. Thia,, Doctor, is my disease, and you casino cure tt I I could not die without a oon ressten. I have fasted longer, and r ' mained longer without bleep than an living man, and this was its cause. .Nev er for one hour at a time since, has chi scene beeu absent from my mind—wa • king or sleeping—alone or in company lit is all the same. For myself I ask n `respect or sympathy, and if you, afte consulting my relatives, think best to publish this confession, you have my consent. I will take no preset-10km 1 from you, and hope I maybe near the end of a life, more miserable and stiffer ' ing than I can describe or you th:ak." 1 . The Doctor closed and afterward I asks ed the result. "He died that night." "Did you publish the facts?" "I did not, but have the manuscript; read it to his relatives, and for their sake did not publish it." "Is it known or talked of in the neighborhood?" "It was for' time, but not having the full facto, and ' so long a 'time having elapsed, but little s I curiosity was excited; besides, the. ve4t I in 3tlrkley's p.wsesttion so flied his guilt, , that no man, unless he knew how it got i there, but believes that a poor, miserable, worthless vest was the means Providence ! used to bring to punishment a hardened, blackened villain." : • I To the Public—Vico men have; wltil- In ono year, been executed in Ohio Up° t 1 ; circumstantial testimony, and each U/ '' ? der the. gallee.vi denied the murders f r which they suffered. /Samuel Cove fol. the murder of the Roosa family La Deertied, Warren County, was executed lust summer upon circumstantial testi -1 meny—l may detail the facts in a sub sequent paper--and a month since W.
