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. The unwed.

fled her as well as they could, and made her swine

• Stephan was put in irons, brought to Manchester ;
and etfirst put in a cell apart frem Lis brother, . Soon
afterwards, however, thessre were confined in the same
room. Stephen bettered great indignation at what he
asserted to be the false; charges of Jesse. and main-
mined a severe deportment towards bia b.otber. Ibe
prisoners were subject to an esarnination of maapisys.
Jesse, after an interview with Stephen, recanted,
his previous declaration respecting the guilt of
bit brother, asserting that the statement which he had
been induced to make was false. But another wit's.'
now appeared. Lewis Colvin, a son of the map who
was supposed to have been murdered, said he mw his
