Many at the time doubted it truth, for it was hard to conceive how my mind could be to totally deprived, to lost lo all the frelinge of nittire and hummity, aa to ppr. petrite on innocent end unsuspecting victims such wholesale murder. Yet true it ia, too true, bearing about it though it does all thu and frightful features of the first account. Old Wilkinson, it would now mm from Mr. Stille'e letter, is the demon incarnate who did the deed thia ie circumstantially evident, from the fact of his tenilng so goodly a share of the poisoned wedding meat t Spot ffandtte, wnorh n'e deemed Ms ettem'y, or at least, whoee enemy he wit ': Aavou Sank.

AHeii Ha ley lost a negro man the man's wife wae oce of the servanta at the wedding, and took him a piece of the jtonnd cake; he ate two moutba' full, and, not liking the tsVie of it, ate no n.f'3 yet that killed him. An old lady, ty the name of Enrfens, made the cakes, tnd ahe waa poisoned, together with her eon tnd a negrb girl, the girl Is ilead, and beV inn n'6t expec ted lo recover.

Chatles Alexander bailed the women, arid Wilkinson w..a taken out by a writ of habeas Corpus before the Pro bate judge; L r-ter, and let at liberty. lie waa afraid to Icaro the house during the dl, tt ihefe were persons determined on itlllihg him.
