He disclaimed any knowledge of the affair, and was diligent and active in procuring relief. He had lived with Mr. Cochran some six or eight years, and had always been respectful and affectionate, parti- cularly to Mrs. Cochran. Upon inquiry of him how he came to do so diabolical a deed, he stated that he had a violent toothache come on while in the strawberry-field, and sat down upon a stump ; after which he disclaimed any knowledge of what had happened till he found Mrs. Cochran dead before hi...m. After his arrest, he made various confessions in the gaol, so discordant, that the Chief Justice, in his charge to the jury, declared them worthy of no consideration whatever. The plea of insanity was made on his trial ; but the jury gave a verdict of wilful murder, and he was sentenced to be exe- cuted. A second trial was had, in consequence of some irregularity in the proceedings of the first jury. At this trial there was little or nothing proved differing from the first; and, although the court evidently felt favourably disposed towards the prisoner, he was condemned to death, and was executed.
