On the morn'uic: of the execution, saj-s
the Atlfjt'iulan, Houser sent for a young
lady residing in the jail to visit him in hi
cell. She went ; and after binding her by
a solemn vow to reveal nothing of what
he told her till he was no more, the con
demned man proceeded to make a state
ment of which the following is the sub
stance :
He declared as his last dying confession
that he himself was innocent of any and
ail connection with the murder that he
was in Ueavcr county on the d:y it was
committed, and knew nothing whatever t
the plot, plan, or purpose to rob or ki.1'

that we cannot 'jive them to thc public.
Afur kin' t,i5s Collision, Houser
, requested the young lady to convey a
1 knowledge of the same to certain jrentle-
mi ti he named, one of whom was direct
ed to furnish details to the press for pub
lication. Houser told other persons who convers
ed with him some time before his execu
tion that IJooscr at times would admit

after making the admission he would deny
it, and contend that thej' were killed bj

might again endeavor to escape, he locked
the door; on his return a few minutes
later, he was horritied at finding that the
inmate had escaped through an open win
