The idemtufication was thorough. and the faci being communicated tw the police authorities, Capt. Catlin went to Plymouth,and there found Ab- boit and arrested him.

Abbott remarked further, that the ceraed not appearme for several mornings, be shut up shop and went to Plymouth. Abbott tells his story in a confused and not very satis factory manner. Sub-equent to the arrest the bara where the men slept was visited by the Police, and a butcher knife found tainted with marks of blood, and « small quantity of ashes of clothing and bedding found.
