BUTLER, PA., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 18. 1883 THE INDIAN MOHAWK. The following is the confession of the Indian Mohawk, hung here on March 22d, 1844. It is taken from a copy of the Democratic Herald of this place of date April 10, 1844, as then published in the same by the late Rev. Gottlieb \ Bassler. Rev. Bassler was the prin cipal spiritual adviser with Mohawk i while he lay in prison here and prepar [ edthe whole of the following narrative, the first part of which, signed '•(*. B." being intended as an introduction aud explauation of what follows. From what has lately appeared in the CITIZEN in eounection with this terrible murder of the Wigton family by this Indian, nothing further need bo added here, as the following exjdaius itself • IIIS CONVERSION. "The following is the confession of Samuel Mohawk, taken down from his lips on the Thursday evening previous to his execution. The third person is used instead of the first for various reasons, as it would have been impossi ble to give his own language in many cases, as frequently his moaning had to be gathered from signs and explana tions which could not be conveyed on paper; this form of writing is likewise more convenient. The substance, how ever, of his own expressions is given as near as the writer was able to do it intelligibly. He maintained to the iast that he was "crazy." That he labored under some unusual and utrange excitement of mind during the whole of that eventful period which in tervened between his leaving Butler in the stage and returning a prisouer, ad mits of no doubt. How far this would extenuate his guilt, each one will, no doubt, judge for himself. Of the truth of the narrative, as far as Samuel Mo hawk's recollection served him, the writer bus no doubt. - Being frequent ly with him, he had a good opportu nity to become acquainted with his ex ercises of mind after his imprisonment. He always appeared docile; seemed very grateful for instructions, and anx ious to profit by it. He appeared from the very first thoughtful and serious; but only after his trial did he manifest much contrition for sin. For some time he [seemed bowed down on ac count of his transgressions; felt as he expressed it "very bad." In reading the Gospel of Luke which had been procured for him in the Seneca tongue, he met with the incident of the young man coming to Christ and askiug what he must do to be saved. He saw that he had broken God's law and deserved death, eternal death; or, as he express ed it, "to go to bad place." He was pointed to the Lamb of God, and as we humbly trust, looked up in faith. He gave many pleasing proofs of being re newed by God'fc Holy Spirit. He earnestly desired to profess Christ, and a short "time before his execution he was baptised in the prison in the pres ence of a few witnesses. There was no alarm manifested by him in view of his speedy and dreadful end. On the day previous to his execution and on the morning of the day itself, he convers ed as usual, though there was more solemnity in his appearance and con duct than there had been previously. He engaged with much earnestness iu the religious exercises that were held with him in his cell, especially those that were held with hi:n immediately before lie wus led out to the scaffold. When he led in prayer himself, which he did at the close of the exercises in the cell, he seemed to pour out his whole soul before God. As the awlul hour arrived he manifested no unwillingness, no hesitation, and made no delays. He was very particular in haviug everything properly adjusted. On the scaffold he seemed to engage earnestly | in the religious exercises. Of tinging ho was fond, often en gaging in it iu his cell. When the liynin was sung on the scaffold, he sang also, the hymn having been ex plained to him previously. When the hymn had been sung, he was asked whether he bad anything more to say; he answered, "guess not," which was a common phase with him. He then added, "me ready." He bade adieu to j the Sheriff, the attendants, and his spir- : itual adviser with much affection. When | he shook hands with the writer he smiled, as he usually did on meeting him in his cell, and said, "rat see you," casting his glance upwards. When he rose from his seat, when the rope was adjusted, when the cap was drawn, and during the eventful moment which intervened before the drop fell, he was calm and evinced not the slightest trep idation as far as the writer was able to observe. Such was the life and such the death of this remnant of a peeled and no doubt oft-wrocgcd people. We might ask here what was the immediate cause of all this crime, suffering, ex citement, expense, and of the final dreadful catastrophe. The answer comes to us in a solemn, warning voice, "Alcohol." This is what made of Sam Mohawk, lirst a vagabond; this caused him to wander from hi« home; this stirred up the devil in him, and excited the devils without him, to urge him on to the dreadful deed for which he for feited his life. The vender of the "lire water" made a few shillings or dollars at most; the State of New York receiv ed something for the license; but what a price! Seven lives! Leaving all expense and waste of time out of our calculation. Where is the guilt? (J. 15. MOHAWK'S CONFESSION. "Samuel Mohawk was born Decem ber 25th, 180", in the Cattaraugus res ervation, New York. His father's name is John Mohawk; his mother has uo Knglish name. Samuel was raised at the above place; attended a Quaker school for several years. His winters were spent mostly in hunting; some times he worked on a farm.—About I' 2 years ago he married l.ydia Ivypp.— They had one son. About nine years alter he was divorced from Lydia, and soon after married Susan Silverheels, who gave birth to one child, which died during Samuel's imprisonment. During the month of June, 1843, he went to Lodi, about 8 miles lrom his home, to have his gun repaired; here he became intoxicated.—Does not rec ollect, but supposes that he sold his gun; recollects that be had four dollars iu his hand, but does not know what he did with the money. Started off without any particular object in view ; went to a tavern and drank cider; does not know how much. Passed through Fre douia, West Geld, Eric, Meadville and Franklin. Near Erie he rode a short distance in a one horse wagon; remain ed in Erie only a short time. In Meadville he stopped a little while and got a cake to eat. In Franklin a black man was killing a call and gave him the heart, which he took to a house and wished to have cooked. The in mates refused to do so, but gave him bis breakfast for it. Thinks he was in Franklin on Tuesday. lie got liquor at two places after he left this place. Got no lodging, and was therefore compelled to sleep on the ground in the open air until he came to Butler. He came to Butler on the morning of the 29th of June; stopped at a tavern, (supposed to be Graham's) in quired for the doctor, and then pro ceeded to Dr. Graham's. Got nothing. Proceeded to a store at the corner, (Cunningham's) and got some salts; went as far as the bridge, turned and stopped at a white house near the bridge, (Negley's) where he b ot some thing to eat, does not recollect what it was; did not eat much. Then he went away and lay down on the ground until some person came down and told him to return to the tavern. Got up and went to Mr. Brinker's. (Here Samuel was proceeding to give a statement of what took place at Mr. Brinker's ; but as the whole narra tive-threatened to become tedious and the hour was growing late, he was re quested to omit all, until the time when he was put into the stage.) Was put into the stage—there were three men in. The stage stopped at a tavern, (Shleppv's) where Samuel took a drink of water. There were three Indians in the stage and two with the driver. They stopped at the Stone Tavern ; here he left the stage, and went, he thinks, iu a eastern direction into the woods some distance, where he saw a great many stones and rocks, and lay down to sleep, but was unable. Heard a great many persons, white men and Indians ; there was a great light around him. He waited until all the Indians aud white people had passed and then returned and got into a stage.—There were Indians stauding around it, talking, saying, "where is Sam Mohawk ?" "we can't find him;" "Sam Mohawk gone." Oue Indian said he would pay for finding Sam Mohawk. During all this time he lay in the stage, but did not sleep. He went iu.o the house aud told the man, (Mr. Sill) "I find him; I find Sam Mo hawk; pay him." The man took up a large Jstick aud threatened to strike him—went out immediately and start ed off up the road. It was very dark. Heard an Indian behiud him : went to the left of the road and lay down by the fence. Lay about ten minutes— got up and weut into the lield ; crossed it., got into the woods aud lay down besides a large log ; lay there a good while—until day, but did not sleep. Rose aud went forward—came to a swamp—saw an Indian on horseback «i(ter him ; ran to get into the woods, and sat down in the bushes. Remain ed about ten minutes, aud then went on through the woods ; Indians alter him—a woman too ; he concealed himself until they had passed ; then ran for some distance until he came to a field and saw a house a great way off; took up four stones, determined to ffght them ; he fras angry because they had followed him all night. They ran away ; he heard them talk all round ; walked some distance until he came to another house. The Indians rode past. He came up, determined to kill ; want ed to kill the man first, but did uot see him. Opened the door himself, enter ed and saw the woman ; does not rec ollect what he had done with the stones, whether he still had them or not. Asked the woman for an axe. She said that she had none. Then ' asked for a knife, which she gave him. t He immediately cut at her with the knife; thinks he hit her on the arm. She did not resist, but attempted to es cape ; went out of doors—he followed ; she returned into the house and tried to close the door on him ; but he push i ed it iu with both hands aud entered ; I she went out again, he followed and caught her about five rods from the door —She resisted, succeeded in tak ing the knifo from him—he fell, or she threw him . she had the knife in her hand and he held her wrists. Iu the struggle the knife cut bis bead towards the back part. He pushed the woman off, rose aud struck her on the side of the head with his fist. She said, 'You uiusn't kill; I'll give you money.' Made no reply ; took up a stick of some size and struck her on tin; head she fell; he then took a stone and struck her on the head, and thought she was dead. He weut into the house with a stone tn his hand, thinks it was the same with which he struck the woman ; saw a child of 5 or (5 years old, struck and killed it; saw another child, a small one, thinks it was in the cradle ; recollects that it was asleep, but tiothiug about its appearance ; saw it had life and killed it at once. Then Le heard a child stairs; went up with a stick and struck the three children witl it on the head and then went down and out to the spring to gel a drink.—Looked toward the door aud saw his sister Kmiliue there ; went back to the house, but could not see her anymore ; went in and then heard j a child crying up stairs again. Went i i out and got a large stick, and went up stairs. One of the children on the ! I large bed was moaning ;be struck it ■ and it made no more noise. He then i remained up stairs about half an hour, expecting that some persons would j come in and that he would have to 1 fight. He looked down the stairs and ; saw a woman, whom he supposed dead, coming in and lyiug down on the floor, where he went up, (the stairs) lying partlv on the steps. Then saw another woman coming iu and standing besides the former one ; she was all white, clothes, cap and all. He looked down on one side of the stairs and she mov ed to the other side, and when he look ed down on that side, she moved back. Then he went down and saw nothing more of the woman in white. The woman who was lying on the floor, however, was moving, and he struck her with a stone somewhat long in form, (does not recollect whether it was the same which he saw in the Court House) on the head, thinks, three times ; she moved a little wheu he struck her. He thinks he went up stairs again and found her cloak, threw it over his shoulder without any partic ular object iu view; went down aud out; looked all round and saw about fifty rods off a great number of Indians who called out, 'White men, great many white men a little way off; after you, catch you.' (All the time he was fighting with the woman, the Indians were in sight.) Then went with the stick in his hand through the wheat field into the woods anil lay down a few minutes; but heard the Indians call out, 'the white men follow you.' He rose, looked and saw a white man pass by on horseback in the woods; followed aud wanted to kill him, but when he got there could see nothing more of him. Came to the creek, pass ed along the beach a little way and then went straight across, it was a lit tle more than knee deep. After he crossed, saw a road, then came to a fence, crossed it and lay down in the bushes. Lay about 15 minutes— heard voices—both white men and In dians ; they said they had guns now and could shoot him. He kept close and did not look up. Heard his moth er say be would die soon, lor he had killed people ; heard his aunt and his little boy talk too; did not see them, but heard them talk. (Jot up and went to wards his mother, desiring to see her, but could not. Saw a house and went towards it; a man was standing in the road. Samuel called out to him, 'l'll kill you.' The man ran. S. had stones in his hands; had lost the stick ; thinks he got the stones iu the field. He followed the man who ran away; then saw the child and threw a stone at it; thinks he hit it. (Knows nothing about a dog.) Theu S. ran up the road from the house ; heard the man call out to get a gun. He ran into the woods, where he saw a field before him ; he was near the corner, where he sat down against a tree. Looked up and saw two women pass ; looked back and saw the man following him with a gun; saw him pointing the gun at him ; he was then about five rods off; threw the cloak off and stood behind the tree side ways, and then ran away, passing through a large field in which he stop ped and looked back ; thought he would have to fight and die now. Could see no one for a little while ; then saw a man running with a gun through the field some distance from him and going towards the woods. He now paw a house and went to it with a stick in his hand, struck the window, entered the house, but found no one in. Came out immediately and saw anoth er house and went to it. Saw a man standing at the house, and told him that be would kill him. The man ran around the house, hallooing. Samuel went into the house ; saw no oue ; went up stairs, saw a bed and lay down on it, but could not sleep. Thought he would die in that bed; that persons would come and kill him. He had two stones; heard a good many persons around the house, white men and In dians, saying, "Kill Sam." Looked out of the window and saw Indians. Jimison (an Indian) said, 'Sam Mo hawk, bad man.' Jimison said that S. sold his gun at Lodi to a white man for forty cents ; that he was a very wicked man ; that Sam Mohawk knew that best ; that ho made property out of anything; that he killed people back a piece ; "bad man ;" "great man ;" "Sam Mohawk, a chief." Now Samuel saw the people below, took the bedclothes and piled them up at the door and sat on them ; supposes it was to protect himself; knows no other reason ; looked around and saw a liddle, took it down and began to play, then threw it down stairs. During this time he had the stones beside him ; saw a man coming up stairs, took one of the stones, threw and knocked him down. Heard them call out, 'Kill Sam Mohawk.' Saw Indians out of the window ; heard his aunt and mother come up stairs and talk iu another room ; they said, "you die pretty soon." Saw a figure of a face on the chimney which kept saying, "pretty soon," "pretty soon ;" heard a ticking; saw two figures shaped like men aliout three feet and a half high, which talked the same way as the figure on the wall He went rouud t!.c chimney aud sow near the bed a shape like a small child; it made u noise and cried like a child ; looked at a cloth lying on the floor, which also cried like a child Then the bed qujlt seemed all alive, nunriu? up and down. Lay down at the chimney, where he heard talk close by, which said, "pret ty soon," "pretty soon." Fire appear ed to be proceeding from the mouth of the figure on the chimney ; the figure spoke, saying, that his brother-iu-law Stephen was dead, that his father-in law was dead too ; looked at the chim ney ; it seemed to warm his face. He saw a petticoat and put it on ; then saw the people coming up stairs ; took the remaining stone and threw it at them ; thinks he did not bit anyone ; they then rushed in and one man struck him on the head with a stick und knocked him down; thinks they took him out then ; does not know any thing about it, however, as he died, (fainted.) Came to himself about !0 rods from the house, lying on the ground; the i petticoat had been taken off, as also : part of his own dress: some man said they must not undress him, and again ! arranged his dress. They then placed him on his feet, and he saw the tree j and spring; some one washed him, as he was all bloody; he stood at the tree; ! a great many were around him, and ( some person said, "shoot him," he told : the man shoot him in the head; the j man said, hang him on the tree; and Ihe told them to do so. He then asked where the Indians, as he could see no , more of them; they told him that there I were none there. They then tied his : hands and took him across the creek at i the same pluce where he had crossed | before, to the house where he had kill | ed the people; he saw two men coming ! from the house with knives; thinks he | | saw them since; they were large men; ' thinks he saw one of them during the time of the excitement—they came to wards him, gome ofthe spectators caught them and told them not to kill him. Then S. went into the house and saw the woman; felt bad for about five minutes, but no longer; heard them talking and questioning him; they ask ed where be bad left the cloak; he told them at the corner of the field. Then the 'Squire asked the white men around, "who killed those people? Did Sam Mohawk kill them ?" S. in quired again for the Indians; they told him there were no Indians there; he thought still there were Indians there. He wanted to see his mother to give her his money; they said that she was not there. They next took him up the road and said they would hang him there; he walked up to the house and sang as he walked along; he told them he did not want to walk, but to ride. At the bouse they gave him something to eat, and said they would hang him across the road; the woman and girls said they must not hang him. They then started with him to Butler; he said they should take him in a wagon: he walked as far as the tavern which he had seen on his way down frtnn Franklin. Here he saw the wagon which bad been procured to convey him to Butler. An old man kicked him; he looked around and saw him, and said, "you mind that by and by;" felt angry at him then and could have struck him back; dou't feel anijry with him now; could shake hands with him now. They brought an auger, and bored holes in the wagon-bed, and tied bim down so tight that he felt very sick; he aaid it was too tight; they answered they would fix it in two miles, but did not do it ******** Here paj>er toru and parts gone aud four or five lines lost. Indians would say, "Sam Mohawk, big face; bow long until you come back V they also told him to pray. He came to the jail, where he saw a great many persons, among them, Mr. Brinker. He asked Mr. 8., "what you think ?" Mr. B. asked Samuel, "what did you do?" He went into the jail and out to the purup, washed himself, and then went into the room, where he saw two iron pokers stand ing in the corner; some person removed them; he wanted to strike with them— The irons were then put on him. He thought on the way down that he would die that night. After the irons were on him they left him, telling him to take his rest. It soon became dark. Saw two men coming in, they had no light; he told them to take off his chain; they agreed to do so; he told them first to take out the bolt out of the floor, and next to cut the bolt of the hand cuffs; heard them filing at the hand cuffs and at the bolt; they talk in In diau; then there was a light in the room; saw his youngest sister, Polly; saw a man with her who said, "the white folks will sell your body." He said that to-morrow he would go home with them; saw also his wife. The two men tried all night to take otT the chain; could not accomplish their ob ject; he continued to tell them to take off his chain. They said that they were glad that he had killed folks; he prom ised if they would take off his chain he would kill more. He thought they would not be able to take it off, but said nothing; one of the men said, "take it off easy." At daylight, S. said, "take off now;" they replied, "to night;" he insisted that it should be done immediately. Told them then that tbey could not take it off. Thought then and still think that it was the devil. Saw his wife and child, and felt had. S. told the man that he was a bad man; but be denied, S. told him again that be was bad and that he cheated him. The man accused S. of being afraid that he would make him black. Mohawk told hiin to go away, which he did. S. then began to pray, upon which the man said, "great Chris tian;" supposes be said so lifty times. Then heard Indians talk; thought two Indians were put to jail, and told them that he was put to jail too; requested of Mr. Little that he might see the In dians. Mr. L. said that there were none there. About noon saw an In diau woman at the door, who said ho had long hair; that his clothes were all tore, that he had a white shirt, &c. In the afternoon the voices changed to a different part of the room; the In diun said, "Sam Mohawk good man now." Some times heard an Indian woman say that she wanted to see him; she offered Mr. Little three cents to admit her, but he would not take them: she offered him one dollar, but he refused that also. During the after noon the preacher came to visit him; S. told the preacher that he prayed in the morning; the preacher said he was glad, and prayed with S, prayed also. An Indian said, "Sam Mohawk pray. 1 The same person said that they would kill him in three days; S. thought lie would die in three days. On Sunday night ho saw and heard nothing. Since that he some times heard voices in the corners; they were Indian voices. During the last two months he has not been troubled in any way.

A man with red hair entered a rail road car at the union depot iu St. Joseph, Mo., the other day and took his seat. A moment later another man with a fiery top-knot and vermilhon whiskers came in and sat down besides him. They looked at each other, but said notbiug, until a third passenger with a scarlet crest appeared upon the scene. Then the youngest of the trio arose and remarked, to the general amusement, that he would do what he could to prevent a conflagration in case of accident by riding in another car. He was on his way to the door when, amid a roar of laughter that shook the windows, a fourth passenger with a head like a beacon light flamed into the aisle. Then tho quartette sat down together and made so much fun for the rest of the passengers that everybody was sorry when one after another got out at their respective stations, each leaving the car perceptibly darker at his exit How to Kill Cabbage Worm. The ravages of the caterpillars of the cabbage butterfly caused a good deal of trouble last summer at the State Agri cultural Experiment Station, Geneva, N. Y.. particularly those of the second or August brood In order to test the efficacy of various reputed remedies for the cabbage worm, the director ap plied them to special collections of worms, and noted the effects. One specimen confined for three hours in a bottle partly filled with black pepper crawled away discolored by the pow der, but apparently unharmed. The second repeatedly immersed iu a solution of saltpeter, and a third in one of boracic acid, exhibit ed little indications of inconveuienee. Bisulphide of carbon produced instant death when applied to the worm, though its fumes were not effectual. The fumes of the benzine as well as the liquid caused almost instant death, but when applied to the cabbages small whitish excrescence appeared on the leaves. Hot water applied to the cab bage destroyed a portion of the worms causing also tho leaves to turn yellow. One ounce of saltpeter and two pound.* common salt dissolved iu three gallons of water formed au applicatiou which was partly efficient The most satis factory remedy tested, however, con sisted of a mixture of £ lb. each of hard soap and kerosene oil in three gallons of water. This was applied August 26 ; an examination the following day showed many, if not all, tho worms de stroyed. The growing cabbage presents such a mass of leaves in which the cater pillars may be concealed that it is hard ly possible to reach all the worms at one application. It is of importance, therefore to repeat the use of any remedy at frequent intervals.
