was banged for killing Reddick. The following
is a brief history of the murder:
In the montlt'of December, 1866, the two men.
Williams and Reddick, were living in a house be
longing to Mr; Peter Perrine, the two men occu
pying separate rooms, and having been, before
she unhappy day of the crime. good friends, save
,onie slight disagreements. Williams occupied a
room on one side. and Reddick; with his wife. a
room on the opposite side of the hall running
through the Louse. Souse words passed between
Williams and Mr. and Mrs. Iledclick relatiVe to
:he use of an iron pot belonging to Wil
liams. Williams because . very angry, and
went into his room. muttering, "I'll be the means
of putting some of you d—d niggers in your
graves bethre - this is through." About live min,
ate& after he came out of his room into the hall
with a loaded gun, and said to Reddick, who was
then in his own room "Come out here, John,
I am ready to talk with you." Williams then
hurriedly • walked down the path leading to the
vard-gate to the tight of the hall-door, and Red
dick came out of the kitchen-door and went
down the path leading to the garden-gate—a dif
ferent direction. Williams then turned, - drew his
gun to his shoulder and fired at Itaithck,who was
standing with his right side toward him, abOut 25
feet apart and 13 feet from the house. The contents
of the gun entered the right side of Reddick,
him instantly. Williams then returned to the
house and said to the others who were standing
in the hull, "Clear the way, you d—d nig,gers,, or
I'll shoot you also. He then placed the gun in
his room and went down the lane. subsequently
going to Freehold, where he Voluntarily gave•
lliniscif up to the authorites.
The foregoing Is the popular version of the cir
cumstances of the murder.
Williams was in due course of law tried, con
victed and sentenced:and was ,yesterday executed.
The editor of the New Brunswick Fredonia'', In
his paper of yesterday afternoon, makes the sub
joined statement: '
About noon on the 4th inst. Willi ms sent
word to our office for a reporter to come and see
him. We responded to the invitation, and fouiul
that he wanted a letter written to one of his fe
male friends in New York, and he could not
write. We sat down iu his company with the
Sheriff, when Williams dictated the following
letter, which we give verbatim as it came from
his lips: .•
"I am very glad I received your letter this morn
ing. lam glad to hear that you are well. I
thanked God when "your letter reached me. I
have had a minister from New Bruswick. He
called this morning, and we Riede it one Of God's

unit he will hear it no more; for when the breath

door of her cell, and, putting out his
. poor,
pinioned band , so faras hbonds would let him,
he offered for the last time to shalm,hands with

'both hands convulsively over her eves , , and burst
into a fit of hysterics. She rocked herself to and

Here the Rev. Mr.. Page stated Omit Williams .
had requested him to read the 51st Psalm. as its
sentiments expressed exactly his own feelings- In
accordance with this desire, he proceeded to read
the passage, and the prisoner responded to every
verse in some such words as "Thank God," "Oh,
'yes. Lord," and similar expressions,
Mi. Page made a short prayer, the signal was
given, and in an instant the body of the convicted
man rose into the air. Though he was a very
powerfully built man, and though the, knot
slipped round to the back of his neck, he died
without a struggle, or with so slight spasmodic
action that it was hardly perceptible.
-,Afger the body had hung 45 minutes, by a mis
apprehension of the orders of the Sheriff, the.
outer gates were thrown open, and the crowd
was admitted. Not only did men and half-grown
boys rush in, but women, young and old. and
children, little girls and boys, from five years old
up to 17, came in by scores.
The body, havinghung fifty-seven minutes, was
lowered into a handsome imitation rosewood
coffin, trimmed with silver nails; having been
Screwed dowg by the undertaker, in accordance
with the • require i nts of the law, it was then

• Important Facts for the Defence.
The K. Y. Iferalds Washington correspondent
has the following:
It has been given out all along that the counsel
for Surratt have it in their power to prove that
their client was not implicated in the assassination
plot at all, and that the proof would be forth
coming at the proper time. It has been boldly
stated, too, that the government would not dare
to convict the prisoner, though why has not been
explained, save by mysterious hints and shrugs,
which to some people seemed more comprehen
sive than positive uttenugs or writings. Upon
what the defence place their reliance is not easy
to discover. since nearly all their theories have
thus far been scattered to the winds by the prose
cution; but to-day I am informed that one of the
chief points on which defence intend to base their
theory of inuocencewillrbetheir ability toprove.
the contents Of Booth's mysterious letter to the
editor of the Nntional intaligencer of this city.
That letter, it will be remembered, never reached
the hands for which it was destined, and its con
tents were never laid before the public. It has
teen reserved for an actor named Matthews to
clear away the mystery. • If this is to be credited
it will be somewhat favorable to Surratt; but by
by no means sufficient to outweigh of itself
the mass of proof adduced by the pros
ecution. On Monday last Matthews, who
was an actor in this city on the night of
the assassination, was before the Judiciary Com
mittee, and there gave testimony which
clears away all the mystery attached to the letter
which Johii Wilkes Booth wrote to the National,.
Intelligence,- that fatal morning., Matthews testi
tied that he met Booth, who was on horseback;
that Booth called him and gave him a letter,
which he. requested Matthews to leave . next
morning at the Intelligencer office, If he (Mat
thews) learned of Booth's having left town, or
if any extraordinary event occurred during the
night. Matthews took the letter, which was
given him hurriedly and with some' secresy
of manner, and had no time to think
about the strangeness of the . re
quest. That night, when the excitement,
grew to madness, Matthews bethought him of
the letter, went to his own room, opened It and
read it. It contained a statement signed by
Booth, Payne, Atzerodt and Harold. The state
ment was that they had tried all in their power to
abduct the President, but had failed, and that
they had resolved that they would sacrifice their
four lives for the welfare of their country, and
remove by death the President, whom they con-'
sidered the cause of all its woes. Having
read the letter, with the noise. of The murder
itself for an accompaniment, Matthews, terrified
lest. ts mere possession should be construed into
complicity on his part or lead him into trouble
somehow, burned it. This is the sum, though
not the exact wording of Matthews' testimony,
'who was at that time a member of Ford's dra
matic company, and who is now In this city. He
will soon be on the witness stand for the defence.
It will be noticed that Sumac's name Is not signed
to the letter, and this omission the de
fence intend . to
_use as proof
_that he_liad_
der — rlitiWledffe -- of ~.proc
uring the assassination. How this theory will
be reconciled with the proof that Surratt was in
Booths company at the theatre on the night of
the tragedy the defence best know. On the other
hand. fans informed that the letter did reach the
editor of the intelligeneer, and that it had seven
signatures, instead of four. The inference frbm
this would be that the name of Surratt was among
these seven, and has since beau suppressed for
the purposevf the defence. '- •
In addition to all this, I have learned that a let
ter—whether the same or not ram unable to as
sert—written by Booth, and signed by himself,
only, dici - reuch the. editor of that papery In .that
letter • he. gave his reason fOr the assassination;
