111LIDGET DiffeGAN. Ilfhe 'Approaching Exeeution....Thr, Prioner's Various Confessions...tit ' other Expected—lts Supposed Pear port...She theloses to Vice Visitors. .13nrsswicii, N. J., August 27th, 1867. The apyroachlug execution of Bridget Dugan, which will undoubtedly take place on Friday next, at noon, is creating greater interest than any other event of the kind that ever occurred in this country. The interest centres not upon the woman herself, nor sympathy for her, but arises from a strong and earnest desire to know the whole of the truth of that fearful night's tragedy r on the .25th of February last. There is, conse queutly, SO much anxiety to know the details of • the case that even a simple statement of it, no natterhow hrlef, Is, . for various s v,,y easons, er desirable. The woman has made three very verbose con fessions that might be termed dying declarations; but they' are all contradictory, and as insinua tions are given out by Bridget that a fourth dying declaration will be given out previous to the fatal hour of death, the other confessions are in the meantime held back, or rather suppressed. Her last confession in some, respects varies little from the first, being merely a long history of her do mestic life and her little peecadiloes In the kitchen, and when it dooms to the real point of the tra gedy she is very reticent. She solemnly avers that she did the deed all alone; that she and her mistress had some words; she struck het, and when ordered out of the room, her temper over came her, or, as she says herself, the devil pos sessed her, and not until she saw her mistress lying lifeless, huddled up in her blood, did she realize the fearful extent of her crime. She ex onerates, and has done so all along, any compli city on the part of the, woman Gilroy in the murder. From information recently obtained, however, it is evident that she has concealed the truth in all the statements that she has made. • The mur der was not committed by her alone nor was murder intended that night, although such in Tact resulted. House robbery was the object; but, on discovery, murder became a necessity. Bridget had been in the house some time and knew exactly its every arrangement. The husband of her victim was called from 'home, and was not likely, to return until far in the morn ing. The mistress was supposed to have re tired to bed, but instead of that she had only thrown herself upon the lounge after putting the child to sleep. All quiet in the hbuse, Bridget admitted her accomplice, and on tiptoe they were ransacking it for money and valuables, when they were interrupted, and then the bloody work commenced. Who that man—the accom plice—was is the mystery, and hence the desire to learn anything of him. No doubt he has long since left the country, and yet it may be that he is still hovering in the vicinity of where the crime was committed in fancied security, as so far there is nothing to implicate him in the deed except the statement of a woman who could not be believed even under the gallows with the hal ter around her neck. What gives intensity to this tragedy and uni versal fear is the fact that there may be a domes tic Bridget Durgan in every household, and no ono compelled to hire help can count on safety. In England there is a class of professional bur glars who confine themselves to house robbery, in which they are assisted by a female accomplice who has obtained the situation of a'domestic in the family. There, however, they seldom resort to the knife; for, if discovered, a sort of sand bag is used, and the victim is knocked senseless, but not drived of life. Here however, what ever latheeason, a knife or a pistol is invariably used. • It is the fear that this crime may become epi demic, as did the garotte a few Yearsago— another foreign style of robbery—that increases the desire to know a truthful version of the - affair from Bridget herself. She has given three ac counts, as has been already mentioned; whether the promised fourth and last account will be more truthful remains to be seen, if it has the stamp of honesty, All the accounts published of this woman, that she is an idiotic, irresponsible creature, are so much trash. She is no beauty, by any means; but she is a reasonable, thinking, crafty woman; doubly bad, bechuse in addition to being a pas sionate woman she has considerable low cunning. Shy clings to life like a sensible woman, but la bors under the impression that if she keeps the public ignorant of the details of that fearful night's work, so eager is the public to know it, it may be the means of procrastinating the hour of her death. Of the alleged accomplice of Bridget, the woman Gilroy, although it has been said that she is a Washington Mirket pickpocket, nothing bad is known. A very good likeness of her has - been shown to the detectives of this city and others that would be likely to recognize her: but the Li most that they can sayof her is that her face is familiar to them. She has not been indicted yet, and according to report she will be discharged when the Grand Jury meets in September. Of the two the woman Gilroy is the most forbidding and apparently of the quickest intellect. In short. she is non-committal, and will hold no conversa tion with any one but her immediate friends, and no one can see her without permission from the Sheriff. This seems to be rather a stringent rule to adopt towards an alleged offender who has not even yet been indicted. Sinoe the incarceration of Bridget Durgan at the jail of. New Brunswick over thirty thousand people have called to see her; 'but at her own re quest all curiosity ; seekers are now shut out. Hay . lug made up her mind that the la* will be carried ' out at the time appointed, she wishes to be as much alone as possible with her spiritual advisers. • Hgretofore she busied herself in listening to the • speculations of visitors concerning her case, and reading every item thatpas published relative to - - her. Now, as the day of execution draws near, she is enjoined io think of matters pertaining to her .sours interest. The keeper of the jail says that but for the various articles that have appeared in the papers, which, by some means, Invariably reached her, he would have had, ere this, a full confession. That seems to be rather an illogical conclusion. He now has three confessions. When,„he gets the fourth he can neither say that Bridget is stingy nor that the press has crossed his path. The unfortunate woman realizes her position , and bears up well under it; but it has not af fected her appetite or her rest at night. She does not go moping about her cell bewailing_ her fate, but, characteristic of the woman, fondly and falsely hopes that something will turn up to avert • the doom awaiting her. Although she may not realize it as some of her. sympathizers 'would have her, she has more common sense than to believe that Friday can be obliterated from the record of time„ and that she can jump into the middle of next week. She has had SO many mawkish condolers since her incarcera tion that she would be more than a woman if sin: did not now begin to think that she was a saint instead of a sinner. On Monday last four ladies and a child were seen to leave her with weeping cyel. The oldest in the company would probably be seventy, the child, agirl, not over seven. It seemed rather a strange place to take a child, and rather an early age to famili arize her with crime. Showing the likeness of Bridget Durgan to a gentleman eugaged iu the pawnbroker's business. he immediately recognized it. When asked the reason, he replied his ottice was patronized very much by helps. He bad reason to believe that the majority of articles usually pledged were stolen; but if he did not take them others would. Domestics from Newark; N. J., Yonkers, in West , Chester county, and other places some distance away, he has known to come and pledge wearing apparel to him. The excuse generally given by help employed a long way off was that they had got on a burst in the city, and they wanted to get home, The same gentleman, however, did not recognize the woman Gilroy.—N. Y. Ikruld. grant and Sheridan and the Missouri Republicans. BT. Louis, Aug. 27.—General Grant's letfer on General Sheridan's removal has caused a decided sensation among the Radicals hero. Several we4') ago lending Missouri Radicals had an in terview with General Grant, and received assur ance that he was heartily in concurrence with Congress on the subject of reconstruction. They returned satisfied; but still a majority of the partyleaders were opposed to Grant. To-day's letter has caused a reaction. The secession or gan. the Tinits, says Grant has fallen into the hands of the Jacobins. Thu Conservatives gene rally complain of the tone of the letter. Sheridan will have a public reception from the Radicals in this city while on his way to Leaven 'Worth. .floobrote:Errns in want of China and Gll4, Warebhould not fail to virdt the cheitpeM and. oeAt Afire of the kind in the.eity.
