At first I kept Interposing, trying to pacify him, so that I might obtain the object for which 1 sought the Interview, but 1 could not stop him, and soon my own lemprr wus up; I forgot ev erything, and fell nothing but tho sling of his words. I Was excited l<> the highest degree of pssaiuri, and whils he was speaking and gestic ulating in the must violent and menacing man ner, thrusting tho letter and his fifll into my face, In.;ny fury I seized whatever thing, was handiest, (it was a stick of wood t and droit him .. an instantaneous blow with oil tho tureo that passion could give it. I did hot know, nr think, or card where I should hit him, nor l.ow hard, nor what tho ef fect would bo ; ..it was nn the. aide of tho hefd and llibro was nothing to break the force of tho blow; ho full instantly upon the pavument; there was no second blow ; he did not move; 1 stooped down over him, and ho seemed to be lifeless blood flowed from his mouth, and I got a sponge and wiped away \ 1 got some ammonia shd applied It to Ids nose,,but with out effect \ perhaps I spent Inn minutes in at tempts to rrsuiclUle him, hut 1 found ho wos absolutely dead; In my. horror and consterna tion 1 tan instinctively to the doors and butted them—.the doors of the locturo room and ofthe laboratory below \ and then what was I to do ? Jt never occurred to me to go out und dsclsro what had been done, and obtain assistance; f sew nothing but the alternative of a succoir/Ii) movement and Concealment of the body on the one hand, and of Ipfumy and destruction on the other. The Art! thing 1 did as soon as 1 could do anjfthlOg,'was to draw the body into tho. ' private room, adjoining, where I took off (ho clothes and begin putting thorn into the fire, which was burning In the upper laboratory; (hoy were all consumed there (list afternoon, with papers, pocket book ond whatever they contained- I did nut examine the pockets nor remove anything except the watch. 1 saw (hat, or the chain of if, hanging uni. I took H and threw it over (lie bridge as I went to Cam bridge. My next move was to gel ths body In to the rink which stands in the. small private room, by sotting (he body partially erect against the corner, arid by gelling up Into (he sink my * so |p, |, succeeded in drawing it up there tit woe entirely dismembered,it was quickly dune, ea a work of terrible and desperate necessity.- The only Instrument w«o tho knife found by the,officers in.tho too ohest, which 1 kept fur cutting corks. 1 made noiissof the Turkish knife, os U wav coded at Uio trial; that had long been kept on my pa;lur mcntel-pluns In. Cambridge, as a curious ornament. My dough- Vers frequently cleaned it, hence the marks of oil and ppliahlng found on it.* I had lately brought u into Boston to get the silver sheath repaired. While dismembering the body a stream of Cochituste water was running through the sink Carrying off ths blood in a pipe (hat Passed down through (ho lower laboratory.

Tins disposition of the remains was not changed till niter the visit of the officers on Monday. When the body had been thus dts; posed of, I cleared away all luces of what had been done. • 1 think the flick with whicu the fatal blow had been struck proved to bo a piece- qf the stump ol a Urge grape vine—B#y two; inches in ciumetcr and two fscllong.
