natural and acquired advantages, he 121 a fit
subject for foreign travel and observation,
and his friends tender him a benefit concert

A Word in Behalf ofJefr. Doris.
To the Editor of the Evening Bulletin:—
I see it stated in the papers that the health
of the National Guest at Fortress Monroe
hhs become so seriously impaired in his pre
sent quarters that a change is regarded as
imperatively necessary. Permit me to sug
gest through your columns that, in case that
measure should be decided upon, the per
sonage in question - be removed to the sala
brious atmosphere of Andersonville or Salis
bury. A brief residence at either of those
noted resorts for invalids could hardly fail
to have a most salutary effect upon his sys
tem, and the associations and moral influ
ences by which he would there be sur
rounded would likewise be highly condu
cive to his restoration. It is probable that
one of those comfortable habitations which
his tender care provided for the suffering
soldiers of the Union could readily be fitted
up for his reception, and the provision for
medical attendance and the comfort of the
sick at either post is undoubtedly as ample
now as it was in the autumn and winter of
1864. In all these respects we have the as
surance of Mr. Davis's friends and admirers,
both at the North'and at the South, that nei
ther Andersonville nor Salisbury left any
thing to be desired by the most exacting
invalid, and it would certainly be a blot
upon the national character of the individ
ual of whose humanity and tenderness of
disposition, the history of those places will
be an eternal memorial, should be denied
the fullest enjoyment of their advantages,
and that too,. by the people for the benefit
of whose kndred and friends they were
originally designed. By all means, if the
hardships of Fortress Monroe are too much
for Mr. Davis's constitution, let. him be re
moved to a place fitted up in accordance with
his own ideas of the needs of the sick and
suffering. I intrude upon your space no
farther than barely to throw out the sugges
tion, and express the hope that it will be
duly weighed by the proper authorities.
The many friends of the Rev. Dr. E. E.
Adams will be glad to learn thathis health is
improving in his retirement at his old home
in New Hampshire. He writes most cheer.
fully and expresses the hope that he will be
able to resume his place in the pulpit of the
North Broad Street Presbyterian Church at
an early season.

A HEAVY CASE OF SWINDLING,
[From to-day's N. Y. Tribnne.l
On Thursday last,Detective . Golden of the
Metropolitan Police, arrested in Rochester,
N. Y., a young man named Allsert E.Howe,
of whom he has been in search for some
months past.
'The prisoner is alleged to be one of a party
who, by means of forged warehouse re
ceipts, succeeded in swindling various per
sons in this city out of snms amounting in
the aggregate to nearly $300,000.
Of thic immense sum young Howe re
ceived but a very small portion, is accom
plices, while using him as a catspaw, re
taining almost the entire sum secured.
The first indication of the swindle was dis
covered in January last, but the principals
finding that their nefarious schemes were
discovered, fled from the city. Young Howe
went to live with some relative in Roches
ter, and under the assumed name of George
C. Beck, has remained quietly there ever
since.
After a protracted search, detective Golden
finally learned where he was located, and,
armed with a warrant for his arrest, pro
ceeded thither. He called at the office of
the Chief of Police of that city, and on
stating his business was promised all the
assistance he might require.
Officer McLean, of the Rochester force
was sent in search of the culprit, and found
him at the house of the relative with whom
he was stopping. He was told that the Chief
of Police wanted to see him at the Police
Court, as he was wanted as a witness in a
neighborhood quarrel. Not suspecting the
real object of his arrest, young Howe readily
accompanied the, officer.
On his arrival at the station-house he was
met by Detective Golden, who called . him
by name, very much to his astonishment.
He was informed by Golden of the nature
of the charge against him, and the fact that
he must prepare to accompany him to New
York. Within 20 minutes after the arrest
the officer and his prisoner were on the way,
and yesterday they arrived in this city. The
prisoner was committed to a cell at Police
Headquarters, and to-day he will probably
be taken before one of oar police magis
trates and the necessary complaints made
against him by the injured parties.
Howe is a quiet, ineffensive sort of man,
and up to the time of the forgeries was
looked upon as a very straightforward,
honest person. He enjoyed the confidence
of the firm by whom he was employed in
the highest degree. During his stay in Ro
cheater he claimed to be a New York pilot.
enjoying a few months' leave of absence.

EXECUTION OF A MURDERER
HIS CONFESSION.
NORTH VERNON, Ind., May 25,1866.-The
execution of George W. Sage, the child
murderer, took place at Vernon- to-day, in
the square attached to the court house: The
cnlprit.mude a full confession of his guilt,
and expr6ised.his deep sorrow at what had
occurred; He appeared to be truly penitent,
and died expressing the belief that all who
believed in God would be saved. - - -
The murder of which Sage was convicted
resembled the Deering massacre at Phila
delphia in many respects,and withoutdoubt
was one of the most cold-blooded and heart
less crimes ever enacted in a chriatian coin
munity., It appears that Sage worked occa
sionally for Mr. William Todd, of Paris, a
village about twelve miles distant, and be.
coming somewhat familiar with the' family
learned that his employer was in the habit
of keeping his money in a bureau; He a
once formed the idea of stealing the wealth
and, watching his opportunity one day
during the absence of Mr. and Mrs.
Todd, entered the house unperceived and
proceeded to ransack the premises. While
he was thus occupied the children of his
employer, three in number, came into the
' room and caught him in the act. Fearful of
discovery, and actuated by the spirit of the
very devil himself, the- thief conceived the
idea of murdering the innocents, and pick
ing up a brickbat - which lay upon the hearth,
he proceeded with his bloody work. The
eldest child, a girl about nine years old, was
struck down first; then her sister, two years
younger, was despatched, and lastly little
Willie, their brother; aged two years.
The children were all insensible, and
apparently dead when the murderer left
them; but, thanks to a merciful Provi
dence, two of them, the girls, revived soon
after, and by their cries attracted the atten
tion of the mother, who was working in a
field near by. The oldest girl, who ap
peared to have been injured the least, re
lated what had occurred, and gave such in
formation as led to the arrest of the mur
derer in less than three hours afterwards.
The other girl,with good surgical attention;
also recovered, and was enabled to substan
tiate her sister's story of the murder; but
little Williepitssed away, and it was for the
murder oft h ., 4
innocent that Sage suffered
the extreme penalty of the law.
The murder, which created intense ex
citement in this community, was committed
on the 7th of March last, and the trial, which
was not less interesting, came off in a fort
night'afterwards. The evidence of the pri
soner's guilt was so conclusive and over
whelming that he made no effort to defend
himself, and looked upon his conviction as
a foregone conclusion.
The trial over and his doom being fixed,
he manifested great sorrow for what he had
done, and to his spiritual adviser, the Rev.
E. 1,. Dolph, he made a full confession of
his guilt in writing. It was understood,
however, that the confe'edon was not
to be made public until after his death,
and it was placed in the hands of the clergy
man until after that event transpired. The
following is a copy of the document!
I, George Washington Sage, was born in
Smyrna township, Jefferson county, Ind.,
May 29, 1831. I lived in the vicinity of my
birthplace until the year 1860. The cause of
my removal may be learned from a brief
history of an event which occurred about a
year before: On one moonlight night, before
I had retired to rest, at my father's house,
some one knocked on the window of the
room in which I slept, to which I answered,
and on going out found a company of my
acquaintances, who said they were going
after apples. The company consisted of
Henry `Vaughn, Daniel Duncan and
the two Dunham boys, one named
Henry, the other's name I have for
gotten. James McCartuly was with me,
and as they wished him to go along, I awoke
him and he went with us, under the impres
sion that we were going after apples. lam
confident McCartuly knew of no other ob
ject, neither did I. On our way we stopped
for John Lowe, who went with us. As we
passed Mr. Wiley White's hay stacks,
Vaughn said he was going to burn them.
As we returned after getting the apples we
came by the hay stacks, and Vaughn
proceeded to carry out his threat.
Mr. Cartuly and I remonstrated with him
and did all we could to stop him;
but he went on and set tire to them. We
were charged with it and arrested, and when
McCartuly was tried Vaughn swore that
McCartuly and I set fire to them, and Mc-
Cartuly was sent to the Penitentiary. Lowe
and J. consulted together, and, knowing
what Vaughn had sworn to, feared that we
might share the same fate as McCartuly, so
we ran away. Lowe, I thin.k, went to Ken
tucky, and I to Kansas. This was what
they wanted, as we found during the trial,
for they were afraid McCartuly, Lowe and
myself would tell about their plot to kill Dr.
Hall, at Kent. They had told us all their
plans, and invited us to go with them, but we'
all refused. They then told us that if we ever
divulged they would kill us. We tried to
go to Rent to tell Dr. Hall, but they way
laid and shot at us. They failed to kill Dr.
Hall, and then fearful we would tell, hired
us to go away. We went as far as Missouri,
changed our minds, returned and gave the
money back to the father of some boys who
were concerned in the plot, and had fur
. nished it. They got up the burning of the
hay stacks and proved it on us to get us out
of the way. I returned from Kansas to Dn
. nois and settled within four or five miles of
Vandalia, Fayette county, where I mar
ried Rebecca .Anne Ledbetter. I re
mained there until 1865. Daring the
time we had two children born
to us—the oldest, Mary Elizabeth, who died
while we lived in Illinois, and the youngest,
John Henry, 'who is still living. In the
spring of 1865 we moved to near Paris, In
diana, where I was arrested for the mur
der of Wirt. Todd's child. I had been work
ing for Mr. Todd two or three days, for;
which he paid me when we settled, which
was a few days before the murder was com
mitted. Soon after this settlethent I learned
that our property in Illinois was sold, or
about to be. I knew if we could get there
it would be saved; but we had no money to
pay our way. I was very much troubled -
about it, and was thinking every day how
I could raise the money go. On the even
ing of March 7th I went over to Mr. Todd,
who lived about on e-four th of a mile from us.
When I came to the house I feund no one
at home except the children; they were out
in the yard, some distance from the house,
playing. Having learned, while working
for him where he kept his money, I was
tempted to take it, and at once commenced
to search for it. Just as I found it the chil
dren came into the house, and knowing
who I was, came to me apparently without
fear. Something suddenly came over me
and I seemed almost beside myself, and
while in this state of .mind I determined to
kill them. I gathered a piece of brick

which lay on the )hearth, and at once com
menced to carry out ,my wicked purpose
striking them as they came to me, the, oldest,
first and the youngest 'wt. The last I struck
a very light blow, I left immediately; bat
before I was Ca great way from the house I
heard crying, and knew that the children
were, not all, dead. I now began to reflect
upon the great crime I had committed, and
sufferedintensely in my mind as I thought
about it. I would then have gixrenall I had
in the world, and even _died myself, if that
could undo what I had done.. did not ex
pect to - siscape detection, as the;children were
not all dead, and and as they knew me I
supposed they would tell it as Soonas some
one came in. Iwas arrested that same even
ing by W. H. Dixon. and, tried '.before
Philip Jones, .Esq., who sent me to the
county jail, to 'await my trial' at - thenext
term ,of the 'Circuit' `Court. The' rest is
known. understand that reports are in
-circulation that I hare been concerned in
other disgraceful crimes than the one for
which 'I was convicted. All, such reports
are false. If I ever before took the - life of
any human being, it was while serving my
country as a. member of the 7th Illinois Ca
valry during three •years, and for which I
was honorably discbarged;• but whatever I
did wan soldier I did in obedience to my (AB
con, and do not therefore feel responsible.
Besides th at, the'foregoing confession con
tains all my crimes ofa public Character. of
which lam guilty. This statement :I make
with an honest desire to tell the truth, and
'knowing that I soon must answer before
the Judge of all men. I still feel fully sorry
for all my sins, and have sincerely repented
and believe I have obtained mercy,and now
enjoy a hope ofeternal life.
