| Of Hnnry B’lfa and Charlotte Jonos,
the McKeesport murderers!
The extreme penalty of the law was yesterday
executed upon the bodies of theabovo mentioned
criminals within the yard of ilio jail. The en
closure isftdmirably adapted to tho carry log out
of the sta tut o' ‘bf 1834;-providing for private
executions. ; T&q Sheriff too; deserve* credit for
having; refused,to issue tickets of admission
within the-pracincts where tho.gollows stood. —
None, woj bfflicrc, not r even reporters'for the
press wcroawe’to oblain-admissioo. The gate
ways to ihtj Court Flousq along tho threo
stroet? loading past it on the north, cost and sooth
sides wero thronged at an early hour and con
tinued to bo so until nil was over. Tho gates
themselves wore lockcd?nnd In addition to the
usual fastenings, a strong chain was passed or
round the hoary 'upright bars just above tho
lock.— A military gttanl’wus pOslod at every en
trance along the stro'og and unscalable
iron fence’Uiat crowns tho yard, which is itself
from tea to tweoty ftet above tho level of the
road on nil sides of (he Court House. This

In a few moments of time I shall

the world of spirits, I may be there, ami thou beg
there to be forgiven.
Sineomy wrest, much ha 3 been done of wbiah I
bflTo a rightta complain; not that 1 was arrested,
tried aadeonvlcted, beedaso that Is a just penalty for
ay crime, bat I du complain of some of tbo means
used before my trial cams on. The pub
lie prepi-baA^tposilively condemned mo that it was
... next to impossible to get * f*W- jwd bcar
riog of my ease, and one oflha papers, tbo very day
'before the jory was .cmpannclled, published nearly
two celumnsof on article upon me, in which it
charged that T was guilty'beyond $ doubt How Is
ltposriblo for prisoners to get an impartial jury if
they are to lint tried and positively condemned by
the newspapers ? It ought to bo sufficient-far apris
.oncr to answerfar his criao to an impartial court
and jury. Tho prisonor confined within the walls of
' his cell has no opportunity to - defend himself from
these attacks, and if it is continued the innocent will
suffer with tfcegaOty. Ido,not complain of the jury
that tried my caw;l believe they did their duty con-
tho eleven or twelve days
I W*S oklnaVmy counsel took a great many excep
tions to tho opinbn of the court on the admission of
. evidence, and when the case was reported from tho
Supreme Court; I observed none of those exceptions
.had been presented or argued; bat I"inquired of my
counsel abouLthb, and, he told me they hod been lost
out of the Clerk's office and Toold not bo found.—
There was'ft large number of these exceptions. Who
carried theaoff ?. T wDI not charge thatMr.Hor.
nor, the Clerk of the Court, had anything to do with
their being taken away. 1 believe ho is nn honest
man. Ido not believe the District Attorney had
any knowledge of what became of these, and I be
lieve lhatmy Counsel has in all things, acted in good
faith towards me. Let the guilty party, whoever be
may be, however high .in power, answer it to hit
owQ’cooseienceariSto his Goi. There will be a
judgmentbereaftcr, not only for the poor prisoner,
butfor soxaa ofthoso engaged In judging him. One
cf the witnesses at the trial swore to my singing a
certain song, La the call, at the Mayor's office, in
which I .was made toiay that I killed Georgo Wil
* m and ids. sister. It is toy dnty to myself kad the
people that I lafre behind, to solemnly decide that
I never sung that song. I did have a conversation
with Chariotta'and Stewart, and among other things
I said tofitewtrtthatl. would do him justice; and
with tho last.breath that God gives me in this world,
I will redeem jriy promise .to him. I have been
charged, with tho. murder of White, i„ connection
with others. Of his murder lam entirely innocent,
aid lrepe&i what I stated to Mr, Phillips in my con
fjsiion, that I never saw Wtn. Jones until the next
day after the maidsr ofWhUe/ and as to toy par*
juripatfoo or knowledge on my part as to who mor
deredWhltoy I.inost eoJemnly declare I know nolh
lag whatever. During my trial many witnesses were
examined.-; .Whafiome oftboce swore to they were
mistaken'about." Bat I believe'they were all honest
oxcopt-two, perhaps three. One was sworn, then tho
others; for he hot only makes me admit the murder,
‘but act liken •Jraggerlng. Teekleei foul. ■But I for

Since oy.eonAaftment in Jail; Oavo always been

tersou, and Qod iwill reward bim for bis goodness of
heart, etfeo It-shouldextend a little humane sympa
thy to m'e/sounfcainnate as to become bb prisoner.
As to Jailor PhDUps he has Always treated me kiod
ly. In this, res pec tl have nothing to complain
of; but ho should be content to guard the body of
the prisoners, and no ttryto get confessions out of!
them to ..bo fc nsed against them on their trial;—
What here - grid b ' from a sense of
of duty,.ud not .ou^ of malice or bad feeliuga
10 ward any one. . I ain In no situation to. indulge
<dn wordsof.hatred or revenge, but rather In those of
ropentonep and sorrow. Duriog ay confinement I
have loffcred more jn mind a thousand times for the'
crimolbsve committed than the fear of thb' death
that bso rapidly approaching. Ifore b tho fata!
rapo, and the scaffold, and the hand that b to send
my soul Into eloroity; but I do notfear; I have made
my peaiee with All the-'world, end Z trust in God.
And now, before these witnesses, and in the
presence'of Almighty God, before whom in a moment
of time I expoet to appear, and wjtfa tho lost breath
thatl am permitted to. breath oa earth, with a full
knowledge of iny awful situation and my account
ability, I solemnly protest and doclaro that Monroo
Stewart b entirely Innocent of. themurder of George
Wilson andhb sister. The deed was planned and
perpetrated-by myself and Charlotte Jones, without I
an other human being to plan, aid or assist os. For
oar crime he has suffered a long Imprisonment, but
I pray God that tho last words of a dying man,
With no hopes or motives to dccalre anything but tho
truth, while tho just punishment of God would bo
T by falsehood, will be token and restore him
to thAt liberty of wblchbebasbeen solongdeprived.

I now haro but a few Moment* fo live, and I wish
tomato a statement of the troth. Since my arrest,
I hare been represented as a-person hardened, and
destitute of fooling, and without- penitence for tho

mltted, Fife loft mo, against myearnest wish—gir
■ lag ms, u a reason for leaving mo, that- bo wn too
poor to support me, and that ne was compelled to
leave me, and go and hunt work. He did leave me,
and I was under some apprehension whether be
woald retars. During his absence I suffered a groat
deal, and I would bare done anything ia the world
to be with him. When I next saw him, it was at
Columbia, Washington county, Pa." I was not wil
ling ho should leave me again, and I wont with liitu
—he going to McKeesport and I to my uncle’s.—
Then when I was at my uncle's houso 1 first formed
the idea of committing the crime, in order to got the
money, to that I could live with Fife, as 1 was still
afraid he would lo&vo me again.
I alto fully believed that .Monroe Stewart was try
ing to get Flfo to leavo tue, and therefore I had a
great dlsliko for Stowart. Tbo deed wot planned
and executed at 1 have statod In my ooofesiion to
Mr. Phillips, and the statement of tho murder, at 1
gavo it to Mr. Phillips, it correct, oil but this: I sta
ted that I started to Washington to get thu poison
but concluded to stop in Motxqjngthola City and get
it, and that 1 (Hod there and railed to got U, but 1
al*b stated wlmt Mr. Phillips did not take down: 1
that I got another person to go for the poison, ond
; this person stated that the poison could not bo got
without sweariug what it was for. I did-oot go tor
it myself, and uever intended to bo so understood.
I wished to sny in making my confession that I did.
expect, from what Mr. Phillips said, that I would
have been cleared and taken as o witness for the
Commonwealth, and tho reason that I put Btcwart
in was that I did not like him, because I believed he
trlod to got Fife to leave me, and I was afraid that
tbe morning after tho murder was eommlttcJ be
might havo teen something end been used as a wit
ness against Fife and myself. Since I havo boon in
the jail hero I havo always boon well treated by
Sheriff Patterson and Mr. Phillips. Now I bxpect
to die, and hare tried to make my peace withcrery
body. I know the awful situation in which I am
placed, and now at this time I shall tell nothing but
the truth, berauso 1 fully beliere that I shall bo ac
countable hereafter for what 1 say. With thls-full
knowledge I am willing to state, before mao -and
before Uod, that Monroe Stewart Is not guilty of the
murder of tuy uncle or aunt, aud I beliero him to l*
entirely innocent. 1 am sorry that I ever pm him
in Iho situation that ho is now in. I have beon visit
«d by clergymen aud other religious people, and I
feel us though I hm prepared to die. . I folly confe®#
tny crime, and admit that tor punishment is just.

my sin core thanks, for bis services in my behalf.--

most fervent stu2 xwuling- prayer. Tien lie
prisoners eat down and CharioUe Jones broke
oat into tie m ast nncoctroUahle fit of weeping
and groaning; these sobs and groans, mixed
with incoherent beseechings and prayers to the
throne of grace, complaints and moaniogs
against those who had won from her as she said
in her frantic exclamations an acknowledgment
of her erime with the expectation on her part
that she would' be used as a witness for the
Commonwealth- Thescenebecame inexpressibly
painfuL Strong men broke drown before the
awfol sight; men who had been on battle-fields
tamed their backs orwithdrew; those whose gen
tle ministrations as ambassadors for God had
lead the wayward feet of these poor criminal* to
the fold of Christ, as they hadsertoetimes dared to
hope, could scarcely bear the scene, so mixed of
all that is awful and all that is painfulinlife and
on the verge of death. *Rev;-BrowQ suggested
to Re*. Bell that it might soothe the poor crea
ture if he (Mr. Bell) would offer a prayer, irtth
which suggestion tho latter -complied, and the
effect was such as he had supposed-H-would be.
When the prayer was orer, then remained the
•final scene. The clergymen and Mr. Williamson
came down from the scaffold: Fifo called Jailor
Phillips to him, bode him good-bye, and asked '
him to forgive whatever he had against him, if
lie bad anything. The jailor shook him by the
hand, assured him that he had nothing against
him, and btßle him good bye;* Fife shook hands
with almost every,one in the jail yard. There
were perhaps forty persons present. Then the
man whose place it-was to pinion the bands, ad
just the rope, etc., came forward, wearing a
mask and dressed in a fnotr.siie sort of garb, and
performed his duty.
I The last words Fife said before the plank
dropped from under bis feet, were (hat ’’he died
game: l * This herdtd not aay-Jmbllcly/but said it
to a toraifey wbrfatood nearby. -It is said that
hwfssisted in adjustingthO'fcSltcrabotftbfsown
neck- The other poor .wretch'! bad/ffioJhtal-noose
placed over her head while she was yet groan
ing, weeping and praying for mercyof heaven,
to whose bar she has gone.
At from three to six minutes past two o'clock
the fatal spring wag touched, and the law was
vindicated. They both fell at the same iostant
of time. They had together planned and exe
cuted a murder that has scarcely a parallel in the
criminal annals of this country—murdered two
Inoffensive and helpless old people, in the dead
-hjur of night, for a few dollars. Thcy hatl been
-arrested together, been tried together, convicted
and sentenced together, and seot at the same
moment of time to stand before that dread tri
bunal to the eyes of whose Judge all things are
open and cannot be hid.
The bodies hung some 25 minutes, fife
dropped like lead,and scarcely moved a muscle of
bis-body. In eight minutes his heart had ceased
its beating, and he had passed into eternity
beyond even the faintest sensation of present
being. Charlotte Jones was dead in four min
utes after she fell. Their remains were put
decently into coffins, and it was the understand
ing that Mrs. Wolff, a sister of Charlotte’s, was
to take charge of them, and bare them interred
m Washington county; hut she not having/ihe
means to p4y the expenses, they were placed In
charge of Mr. Williams, undertaker, and buried
in the Methodist bnrying-ground in the Seventh
Ward. This ooming to the ears of Mr. B. B.
HuoniouU, compositor in the Gazette office, who
boards near the St. Nicholas Hotel, where Mrs.
Wolf was stopping, that gentleman, from motif es
of charity, interested himself in the matter, and
be and R. N. Avery, Esq!, Principal of one of
our-Publie Schools, went security at the Sheriff’s
office for the amount necessary to the ex
penses of removal of'the bodies, and they were
disinterred last night, and will be conveyed to
Washington county* to-day.
There were probably 2000 people around the j
Court House at one time daring the day, but we ;
heard of no fighting or disturbance except be
tween two of the soldiers—one a “gray” and ihe
other & “blue''—which ended without blood.

Application was made to Court lost Saturday
morning, by Benjamin Grant, Esq,, President
and Counsel of the Erie City Bank, for permis

of the application by directing public nollceto

Act of Assembly, which requires three jreeks

. Forgeries.— A young man who represented
himself os a son of Com. Stockton, of New York
recently visited York, Pa., and presented at the
counter of the York County Bank a draft for
$5O on a New York bank, which was paid. It
was subsequently ascertained to be a forgery.
He afterwards obtained the same amount from
tho Inland Deposit Company, at Lancaster, on a
similar draft, and then disappeared. He was,
no doubt, a "bogus” Stockton.

j tbo resolution adopted on motion of Mr. |£tonton,
I nskod him what excuse bo had for not apswering

whether lie hud roi’oivod any money or Securities
: from Lawrenre, Slono A t’u., .sometime .. la March
lad, to tho onuuiul of thirty thousand dollars, moro
or less: and whether ho was now prepared to an
swer (bat und all other ijuefltiflns?
Tho witness was sworn by ibo Speaker he to the
truth of his written reply, which was to the effort
that ho was hero in obedinneu lo the ordjpr of the
Mouse, to answer for alioged contempt routnitlodhy
him. Uo assured tho House in ail siacorlly that ho
did not design nor sunpeso he was guilty of such an
uflVncv, and respectfully asked until Mafaday in
purge himself of the charge of coutemiit, and fully
.i"*tify his conduct, und ho wished again iu consult |
his counsel. *

tho scat of Davis, of Maryland. Tho form to charges
frond tuid violence, and asks for a new election; he
•ays the authorities of Baltimore are implicated in
tho frauds, nod cannot lie depended upon to extend
protection to society. Witnesses were examined be
fore the Committee, after which a resolution was
passed, deeming it inexpedient to grant tijo prayer
of Brooks asking the oppointment of a Committee to
take testimony.
Mr. Phillips made a minority report,‘etigtuatising
the election proceedings in Buliimore as a gross mock
ery upon political iu»lcj»en Icnce und popular sover
eignty, and concludes with a resolution empowering
the Committee on Flections to send for persons and
{wper*. and to examoi© into the facts. ,
The cun»iderui<«u ..f the subject was Postponed
till Monday.
Mr. Hoard said that rumors were afloat Involving
tho rights nnd dignity of the House, and asked leave
to offer a resolution f«r the appointment of a Com
mute© to investigate whether attempts bad been
mado by persons connected with the Executive De
partment or persona acting under their adilco to in
finance the action of tbo House, directly err Indirect
ly* by promise or Intimidation, orgiving or withold
ing patronage, Ac.
l.lroly proceedings followed. . > '■
Mr. Warren objected to tho w&ptlan of Mr.
Hoard's resolution. If Mr. Hoard Vbnld put his
linger on a person so offending, bo would voto with
him, but not for such a sweeping iudeUnito charge.
Mr. Houston—lf the gentlemen would state on'his
own responsibility improper influences Used, that
would afford tangible ground for investigation, hut
not scurrilious articles from newspapers,
Mr. Hoard road from tho Richmond South, whied
said that, (he President declared that ho would pnt
tho Lceompton Constitution through lu thirty days
or bust, as four desirable TOtee could bcjirocured bj
means of executive appointments, but it would re
quire nice engineering.
. The Speaker thought that this did present a ijuca.
tion of privilege.
Mr. Hoard read from the correspondence of the
Tribune:—“l Icaro that until Monday morning it
was expected that Burns, of Ohio, woold vote against
tho Lccomptonues. On the morning of That day.
however, luTcaine to another perception of his duty,
on an understanding with the Presidenttlint his son
in-law shoold retain the valuable place of Postmaster
at Keokuk, lowa, and thnt he himself should be grat
ified with the ofilco of Marshal of tbo Northern Dis
irict of Ohio, when his present term in the House U
completed. Mr. Hoard read from the Confutation
rhowing that the President’* power only extends to
mat tern of legislation, and from Washington's Fare
well Address against tho trespassing on the rights of
the National Legislature, adding that these news
tiper staicmcuts funned-asbasu of action for the
louse.
Mr. Warren said ibat'tf Mr. Hoard insinuated that
man on the Deinqm'&lii? side were influenced.by cow
r.rdico, or hope, or fear, be iru very much mistaken.
Neither the executive nor others coaid influence

Mr. Burns pronounced the statement- nftho Tri
buLo an uo((uul|fied falsehood.
Mr. Stepbonsyowarkcd that the movemeut of .Mr.
Hoard was bounded on vaguo rumor,
Mr. Waihburne, of Me., nccasod Mr. Stephen? of
an attempt to strangle investigation.
Mr. Giddiugf was sorry t<> sec such unnt-.-tr-ary
excitement. It became Statesmen representing a
free people to purge themselves of uuch charges of
forrupton. Ho referred lo the fact that tho Demo
crat* once expelled the reporter c*r tho Tribune for
staling that his colleague, Sawyer, ate sausage.*.
The House, by a vote of 10*3 agaln.it ad, decided
that Mr Hoard'd resolution was not a -inaction of
privilegi-.
