Antonia, CE, TWO CENTS. the IDailv Illorning post. From the Provident - e Gazette REMARKABLE DELIVERANCE FROM DEATH Or, an account of Stephen and Jesse Boorn, wise were sentenced to be executed for the alleged murder of Reuel Colvin, There is now lying in the jail of Providence county, in this city, a man who is sentenced to die by the bond of the executioner, on the 14th day of February next. We have no disposition to impeach the sin cent) , of the Jury who found him guilty, still less r possible, are we inclined to censure the court for prof nouncing the sentences of the law, when the verdict. of the jury had rendered the work no longer optionel. But as the prisoner in this case was convicted upon evidence exclusively circumstantial, and as the sub. ject of capital punishment is engrossing no small share of public attention at the present time, we have been induced to lay before the readers of the Gazette. the history of a most remarkable case, intending to show the unreliable character of this species of evidence, however strong, and how a remarkable coincidence of circumstanzes may sometimes constitute an apparent complete proof of the guilt of a person, who is in fact all the while innocent. The case which we have to present, is not the less entitled to consideration, on account of ha not being a recent ,roe. More than forty years si nce, there lived at Mancha*. ter, Vt. two Mothers, named Stephen and Jesse Boom. They were, it appears, natives of the place; of humble but respectable parentage. Sally Boom, one of their two sisters, was married to Russell Col • yin, about the year 1802. Colvin, always a man, of feeble mind, was often laboring under actual de rangement. When these seasons arrived, he common ly left the place: and as he was incapable of taking core of his family, a wife and two sons, his absence ex cited the less attention and regret. At one time be was gone some nine or ten months, and was heard of from this State (Rhode Island) as being here. On the 7th day of May, 1813, he suddenly disap peared. This, as may reasonably be supposed, exci ted bat little attention at first, owing to his well known character and habits. It was supposed that after an absence of a few weeks or months he would return a■ usual. Soon after, however, suspicions of fool play arose, and rumors were that he had been murdered. Occasional remarks thrown our by the Booms, ten ded to fasten suspicion upon them as the perpetrators Dreams, too, it appears, were not wanting to confirm the impression, and to guide the fancies of an illiterate credulous and excited people. Mr Boom, an uncle to Stephen and Jesse, a man of high respectabilty, dream ed that Russel Colvin, came to his bedside, told him that ho bad been murdered, and stated that if he would rise and follow him, he would lead him to the spot where he was buried. Mr Boom appears to have ac zepted this proposal. The place which he afterwards pointed nut to his neighbors, was one which bad been much talked of previous to the dream. Here a bole had been made for burying potatoes, but it was now filled up. On opening the potatoe pit, which was a- bout four feet, no•bing was found except a large knife, a penknife, and a button. Mrs Colvin, before they were shown to her, described them accurately, sod stated that the large knife and the button belonged to`, her husband. But there were things more worthy of notice than dreams, or than the discovery just mentioned, which sustained the popular suspicion. A lad with a dug one day going from Mr Barna Boorn's, father of the suspected persons, was stopped by the strange conduct of the spaniel, which put his feet against his youth master, whined and retreated to a little distance, as though desirous that he should follow him. The boy nem accordingly, and found a hollow a little distance from the path. The dog drew out a number of bones from under the roots of the stump, and on a further examination being made, from the cavity of the stump were taken toe-nails, which had the appearance of having belonged to a human foot. Other nails ware found in a crumbled state, as though they had passed through the fire. A court of enquiry was held; the bones were eit. *mined by physicians, who, with the exception of one of their number, thought them to be human. A Mr. Salisbury, it Appears, a person in the neigh borhood, had had his leg amputated some years before. The limb, which lay at the distance of four or five miles was dug up, and the bones in it were compared with those which had been found. The result was, that the bones discovered in the cavity of the stump were deci ded not to be human; but the nails found near them, it was agreed on all hands, had belonged to some one of the human race. The ingenious credulity of the pop ulace, too, found a way of accounting for the appear ance of the bones. It seem t some of the bones looked as though they had polar through the fire, and indeed had in part been pulverized. Some time be fine, a barn belonging to Mr. Barna Bourn, had taken fire accidentally, as was supposed at the time, and been consumed. The Bourns had also a log heap burning near thespot, where the murder was supposed to have been committed. Hence the popular notion was that the body bad been take.' uir and disposed so es to be consumed at one of these fires; that the work had been partially effected, and the remaining bones, it was asserted, were concealed in the stump, having been mixed with some not human, in order to avert suspicion in case they should be found. Suspicions that the Boornshetd some guilty connec tion with the disappearance and continued absence of Colvin had now become so strong, as to occasion the arrest of Jesse—Stephen having removed to Den mark, Lewis county, N. Y., at the distance of 198 miles. Jesse was accordingly taken into custody on Tuesday, the 27th day of April, and search was made in many places for the body. These searches, however, proved unavailing, and Jesse was about to he set at liberty, when, from some cause which it is difficult to perceive, on Saturday, about 10 o'clock, he in trembling voice, made a disclosure of the fact and manner of the murder. He stated that one day, when Stephen and Calvin were hoeing in a field called the Glazier lot, a quarrel arose between them. Colvin at tempted to run away; but Stephen, felling him by a blow on the beck part of the head with a club or stone, left him apparently dead. He said he knew not where the body was buried; but he mentioned see. eral places where be thought it might be found.— Searcit was accordingly made, but to no purpose. A deputation of three respectable citizens was now sent to New York, furnished with a warrant for the apprehension of Stephen. They proceeded with such expedition as to reach the place in three days Ac cornpanied by a Mr Sylvester, the inn-keeper, togeth. er ssith two other citizens, the house of Mr Stephen Boorne, ie the night, and arrested him without any difficulty. He denied the participation in, or know'. edge of the murder, in the most positive terms. His wife was well nigh distracted with grief.
