Their search was fruitless, for the storms and waves had dashed upon the beach too long, and it is supposed swept the treasures into the ocean. He then went away to some place un- known to Mr. Taylor. It now appears from the prison records, that he came to Connecticut where he was taken and again sen- tenced for twenty-three years on four indictments for horse-steal- ing. His last home on earth was the ...prison, and there he died in 1836. The last tragedy developed at Newgate, took place on the night previous to the removal to Wethersfield. Abel N. Starkey an in- 3 24 genious criminal was the victim. He was a native of Roxbury, Mass. Was committed in 1824 for 20 years, for the crime of making counterfeit money.
