Confession of Alre. Wilson.
We have already noticed the acquittal
of Mrs Wilson, for the murder of her hus
band. The Eastern . Argus say's, that hav

charge, had freely narrated the circumstan
ces Attending the murder, so far as shit
knew them—we obtained from an authimili ,
tic source, the following particillarc—,
"Mrs W. hays, that 'on the morning of
the Murder, she has no doubt she was u
wakened;(as she always rated) by the
blow that killed her husband. She started
up, and discovered his head tossing atidtit
lon the pillow. He did .00t speak afteeihe

Then she oltw he hid been struck, (with

found afterwards) and the door, which was
open the night before, was open. She ran
to call Benjamin Wilson from the other
part, when as she reached the entry, as
she partialiy turned her bead towards the
stairs, she saw Thorn standing upon them'
She at once said to him, 'You have killed
Blisha:' fie gave her a look that fright
ened her, still mote than she was befort. -
and threatened her, if she ever ttild that,
he would kill her, and that she would be
considered equally guilty with hiro, if
found out, they would both be hung. .gy

the moth, and assisted him to cover up the
blasting evidenceS of the deed. He strip•

It is inconceiveable, she continries, what
she has suffered with these facts on her
