The con- demned man is anxious to be reunited with his murdered wife and son, and fears there may be some delay through the formalities of the court which may postpone the joyful- ly anticipated meeting. Darin the inter- view he expressed the deepest ove for the victim of his crime and regards the State's taking any cognizance oi the affair as a piece of unwarranted interference. He holds to the theory that his wife and child were his own exclusive proserty and that his right to make whatever isposition of them he de- sired should he unquestioned.

The day of the murder he spent with some friends in Philadelphia and returned early in the even- ing with his wife and son. After they had gone to bed he left the house, procured a pistol, and returning while they were sleep- ing soundly, pressed the weapon against their foreheads and blew out their brains. He then attempted his own life, firing two bullets into his head, but while neither serv. ed to produce fatal results, they rendered him unconscious and made him helpless.

The trial was begun on Monday inst and the prosecution was able to fasten the crime upon the prisoner directly and to prove that he had frequently confessed to committing the deed. The defence set up‘ the plea of insanity and established its claim to the evident satisfaction of the Court, as inferred by the charge of Chief Justice Com- egys, through the testimony of local physi- ouns and experts in nervous dMases and mental disorders.

In a‘few days tugs were sent to the relief of the San Pablo, but they found only the hulk, burned to the water edge and strip ed of everything valu- able. It is estims that at least a score of pirates lost their lives in the fight with Capt. Reid and his men.

Whether by accident or design, they soon however. came in such overwhelming num- bers that before any demonstration could be made on board the spiking vessel the pirates were climbing up the ship's sides. They were led by a man armed with s cut- lass and a large revolver. His shipmates were also very heavily armed. Capt.
