HIS DYING CONFESSION. Why He Killed Is Wise. JEALOUSY “AND WHISKY. The Crime, the Arrest, the Trial, Conviction and Sen- tence of the Criminal. HIs LAST HOURS. THE EXECUTION. The crime for which George W. Jenkins suf- fered an ignominious death on the gallows in this city to-day was oneof the most horrib!. bas ever darkened the criminal annals of the Districtof Columbia. It was evidently com- mitted with fiendish deliberation, and induced by unfounded jealousy intensified and rendered uncontrolable by strong drink. The offence ex- piated by Jenkins was the murder of his wife with a butcher's cleaver, early ou the morning ot Tuesday, May 14th last, in the two-story brick dwelling, No. 1820 [ street, a tew doors West of Vermont avenue. The Finse svst of anything wrong were aro: Kebert, an elder brother of ©& going to the house to see George, a in the morning. found it closed, and on imyuir ‘he two children playing in the yard wi. their mother was, one said: “Mother is up stairs dead.” Impressed with the belief that the: mething wrong, he communicated his ms to police he: marters, and orders t once dispatched to Lieut. Greer, com- ting the police of the ith precinct, t» forc the door and investigate the matter. This was done, and on the second floor was found the dead body ot Mrs. Jenkins, lying in bed in ber night-drese, while the bed clothing was dripping with bicod, and pools of clotted gore stuod on the floor in many places. Further investigation revealed the fact beyond a doubt, that SHE HAD BEEN BRUTALLY MURDERED with @ heavy butcher's cleaver, used for chop- ping meat, as such an implement was found hear the stained with blood. The mur- Gerer had evidently assailed her white she was gsleep, first dealing her a terrible blow on the throat, severing the jugniar and wind-pipe, and following up the ti onslaught with several blows on the faee, neck and shoulders. The fact that Jenkins had not made his appearance at the hotel where he was employed that day, id that he was known to be very jealous of his wie, ied to the general conviction that he was the murderer, and when it was ascertained that only that morning he had borrowed a batcher’s cleaver trom the store of Messrs. Beckwith & Huntley, opposite, under the pretence of want- ing It tw chop-some meat, the conviction was doubly strong. THE INQUEST ON THE BODY OF THE VICTIM. The deputy eoroner, Dr. Hartigan, held an inquest over the body on the afternoon of the discovery of the murder, and the police, under instructions from the superintendent, made ex- traordinary efforts to arrest the prisoner, who Was sup by some to have made his way towards Darnestown, Montgomery county, Md., near which place he was born. The body of the victim, who in life was a remarkabiy fine- looking young woman, was removed to the resi- dence of Mrs. Ball, her sister, at No. i37 L street, where, after it had been attired for burial, it was visited by immense crowds of people. On the day following, (Thursday, May lth.) the funeral took place irom the Asbury M. EF. Chureh, a large concourse following the corpse to the Harmonial cemetery, in the county. KETCH OF THE MURDERED WOMAN. As we have remarked, Mrs. Jenkins, the v! tim, war a tine-looking woman, of a bright yel- low color. She possessed regular features, had & very pleasant address, and was of a lively dis- position. She was at the time of her death only & few months over twenty years of age. Her maiden name was Cornelia Boston, and she was born and raised in the District of Columbia, where she received @ little schouling. in the year 1865 she protessed religion, and joined the Asbury M.E. church, corner of lith and K streets, her husbaud joining the church at the Seme time. It was at this church she attended Sunday school, and here she made the acquaint- auce of George W. Jenkins, who subsejuently became her husband. She was regarded by her associates and acquaintances as a woman of ex- cellent character, and Kev. Waters Foreman, ef Asbury church, onthe occasion of her fu neral, paid a high tribute to her character as a christian. She was @ good seamstress, and as such worked industriously to aid in supporting her family. ‘THE MURDERER, George W. Jenkins, was born in Montgomery county, Md., and came here with bis w and brother wlen very young. He lost his iath several years ago, and resided most of the time in the first ward, where he attended schoo!, and learned to read and write. During the war he was employed #t Hurdie’s corra!, near Kendall Green, and at Capt. Tompkins’ otfice, in the first ward. He was Fegarded there as a good bey, not given to @ single vice, as far as was Known; and, indeed, up to the time of his mar- riage, it is stated that he was never seen drunk. Alter leaving the quartermaster’s depart nent he was employed at Welcker’s hotel, ani his employer testifies that during the four years he was in his service he regarded himasa good quiet and sober young man. Fle left Welcker’s in December last, and obtained employment at Wormley’s hotel, and there he was regarded as @ young man of good character. In’ parsonal appearance he was rather prepossessing, being of a itght yellow color, with regulur tcatu and lrown eyes. He wore a small mustacl and was 5 feet 10 inches in height, and uf r slim build. During his incarceration in jail h fenetally wore gray pants, white shirt, “and a blue blouse, and when on trial was dr ina suit of black. ‘The Arrest and Trial. On Wednesday night, May 15ti, atver several houses had been searched for the murierer unsuccessfully, Jenkins sudden!y appeared at the 6th precinct station-house (corner of 9tb and K streets), and walking up to the railing informed the station-keeper, Mr. W. Gan- neli, that he was George W. Jenkins, and had come to give himself up. Sergeant Seibold, who was present, at o yk him into custody, and he was taken Ligh spate headquarters th same night. and while there stated that he knew he had dove something criminal, his re tions ot which were vague and indistinct. On the following day he was comm'tied to jail to await the action of the courts in his case. CONVICTSD OF THE CLIME. From the first the condemned ian seemed to have no hopes of escaping the Ws. and msde no preparation for difence. When arraigned he stated that he had no counsel Mr. A. G. Riddle and Mr. C. N. Thomas had, however, been solicited by Jenkins’ friends to detend him, which they did. The trial was commenced on the 2d instant ani concluded on the 3d with a verdict of ‘guilty.’ On the d following Judge Humphreys passed the sen- tence of death; Jenkins in answer to the ques- tion whether he had anything to say why sen- tence sheuld not be pronounced upon him saying: ‘Nothing save I was not myscif at the time, and if itis possible tosave my neck I hope you will do it; but if you cannot, ict God's will be done; I will be satistied.” He was ably d fended, but there being no errors committe during the trial, and uo extenuating circum stances connected with the case, no good grounds could be found upon which to base an “pplicatign for a new trial. AN APPEAL FOR EXECUTIVE CLEMENCY. His counsel and a few friend=, bowever, did not desert him, and in a short time a petition was put in circulation by. them for a commuta- Uon of the sentence, and this petition was pre- pooner aa Grant last week. Accom- ALVIN; paper were individual petitions ot 3 K. Keading, James Wormely ‘and. Joht Welcker. ‘The ‘papers were referred to the At- torney General, ‘and Monday last Unites les District Attorney Fisher was e report on the case. 5 acer JUDGER PISHER REPORTS ADVERSELY. He thereupon made the following report :— “George W. Jenkins was married to the de- ceased about four years ago, and lived with her as husband fora yéar or two, when a sep ration took place. By advice of friends they again lived as man and wife until abvut the ist of ay, when be drove her from his house and threat- ened her lite. This threat was subsequently re- and as late as two weeks previous to her The cause of his —— seemed Jealousy. On the morning of the homicide he went to a butcher's shop and borrowed a butcher's cleaver, and then, going back to his house, he cut his wife’s throat wi instrument, while she yet asleep, and only left her when he had inflicted uy her body nine or ten terrible wounds. prisover was fairly tried, and ably defended, and after a careful review of the case, I see no reacon why the penalty of the law should not be promptly executed.” SS ec Under the: therefrom the friends of Jenkins advised him to give = all hope that =a would be avert and to prepare for The Murderers Confessions. On Monday last the condemned man accorded an interview to a Star reporter, who, on a guard informing bim that “George was at home,” ascended the steps running trom the gate, and on the second floor to the left of the Sens Saas ee prisoner in one et the s0il- tary ce TRE CELL OF THE CONDEMNED. This ceil is about 8 feet long and 6 fect wide, and (s provided with aheavy timber door secured hog m bar and a padlock. In the farther ight hand corner was the bed of the '. roiled up and made to perform the service of a stool during the day, and over where the foot of the bed should have been there was a small shelf.

PREPARED FOR Tae woreT. On entering the cell, the prisoner arose from his bed,on which be was seated, and to the question, “Well, bi Jenkins?” he mare the cheerful response, Uh, I feel very well to-day, sir; take a seat.’ A conversation then took place as follows: Reporter.—'+ Well, Geor, for you; the application » 1 have bad news ‘or commutation has failed. Prisoner.—**Jnst as Texpected.” -g ll, George, you promised to tell me al ut yourself.” Y ; but will it be published before No, not a word of it unless you desire it. To begin, how old are you, and where were you born?” RIS BARLY Lt P.—“I don't_know exactly; somewhere be- tween 24 and I was born in Montgot county, Md., somewhere beyond Rockville, an: came here when a child, I don't know exactly how old I wasthen. I lived first on N street, between 14th and 15th streets, and then on L between 19th and 2/th.”” You attended school?” Yes, sir; | went to Mrs. Simms’ echool, on M street, between Lith and 15th,and also went to some night schools and to Sunday school.” You were too young to go in the service the wary” to the New York Hotel, corner of 7th and HE siteets, and from there to Welcker’s. I was there from March. 1:68, to IS71. I was first a general scullion, but they m me assistant cook; that is, | was there le: gmy trade. I ned there until Christmas, and then went to Wormley’s. AN UNHAPPY MARRIAGE. R.—* Well, George, when were you married, and how did you enjoy married life 7” P.—* Well, sir, | married Lavinia Boston in done, 1507, and the first year was a happy, plesstnt one. Then came a disagreement; 1 can t say now what it was about, and we se} rated for a tew weeks.” Here he commenced to talk very earnestly and said: “ People may thirk I was jealous, but I had cause to be jealous. I don’t know how long we were sepa- rated, but when we came together again we went to live on L street, between 13th and Mth, Mucual friends got us to come togetner. JENKINS AS A BACK-SLIDER. We both joined the church—Asbury—about one time, in 1866, I] believe, and she remained while I back slid. After living together on L street we parted ‘in on account of her ill- treetment to me, She treated me in no wise like a wife should treat her husband.”’ R.—“ How long were you separated then ?” P., (refiectively.)—“ It must have beenin 1870, 1 don’t know exactly.” The remark was yentured that itseemed some woraen did not know how to treat a husband. P.—** Yes, sir; I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO MAKE OF WOMEN nowadays. We then remained parted until November of last year; we used to meet each other, however, and always were on good terms; mé. as friends. She proposed that we should live together, we lived tolerably happy. No, I can’t’ say that, hardly happy. Well, betore I go further, I want you to be particular. The reason that I went back to her the last time Was this; 1 saw that she couldn’t take care of the children. My mother hadone and she had one, and I wanted to have them together. I tried to live happy, butit appeared impossible for me JEALOUS OF HIM. why so é was quarrelsome, but { didn’t mind ig Much. She treated me wrong- fully; accused me of things I was not guilty of, too. You see, sir, | was a cook, and as such was oftimes detained—sometimes alter 12 at night, anc frequently to 1 or 2o'clock in the morning, and she accused me of running around, and ap- peared jealous. She then got indiiterent, toox to running out herself. Often at night, when I would get home at 12o0r1 o'clock, she would not be there. By treating me bad, TROUGLE LED ME TO D&INK. 1 fought against it, and tried as much as I could do to live happy, but could not, and drink- ing has thrown me just where I am at now. Understand, I was not consetous when I did the thing; I don’t know when I did it, and I don’t knew how I did it; but I do know that I was not conscious of it at the time.” R.—* Weil, you had another falling out ?”” «Yes, sir, we had a talling out in Apcil, and I'll tell you how it was. I went home to do some work, and she had some things in the house belonging to A MAN NEXT DOOR. It was a bottle of liquor. I asked her ‘What's this?” and she said: ea grey gentleman who stays next door gave me to keep for him until night.’ Isa ‘I don’t waut you to har- bor anything fer anybody, because yon don’t kuow how he came by it. Understand, sir, there was a produce store next door, and I thought that he might have taken it unfairly, and wanted to hide it, so I told her ‘If he got it honestly he could keep it in the store until he was ready to go home, and you must give it back to him.” HIS WIFB REFUSES TO OBEY HIM. She saidsaid she would not, and I told her if she didn’t I would take it out and break it, and Ididso. I then went off, and went to work. I come back at night, and her neice was there with her. I overheard my wife, Lavinia, tell her (the neice, Cordelia Boston,) that ‘George was home to-day, aud the gentleman next door gave me a bottle of liquor and he threw it ont, bat the gentleman gave me some more.’ Uor- delia asked + Way) rep You GoT some Now?” yes.” Cordelia said, ‘Give me some’? my wife gotthe liquor and set iton the table, and they drank it. I overheard their talk; what they said I won't repeat; it was such Janguage that no married woman should Lave used; it was unpleasant. I knocked at the deor and my wife came to the door. I said: ‘Lt smell whisky. Give me some?” She re- tused. After some words Delia acknowledged that they had some liquor, and that my wife had hid the bottle. I looked for it but could not find it, and I took her to task about the con- versation. Ill gs! to think how that fuss came up. [A pat was taking her to task about her conauct, and one word brought on another; we got to disputing [a pause] and I THREW A CHAIG AT HER. Understand, sir, it was not to hit her, but to make her stopherabuse. Delia said ‘Come and go down to my ho: and stay all night’ Then Faviniaeaid ‘I don't know whether to go or not.’ I threatened her but did not iatend to carry out the threat, and I don’t believe that she would have lett if she hadn’t been persuaded. Don't tail to publish this: ‘That Coleman, who swore against me, swore I followed them to lith and kk street; but he telisthat that aint so; he makes a mistake. That night I did not go half a square trom the house.” HIS ARREST ON COMPLAINT OF HIS WFR, R.—* You were arrested about that time?” P.—“Yes, sir, and Lavinia would not have gone away, 1 believe, if she had not been per- suaded to do so because when she came back afterwards she cried and said that she was sorry that she did it. She came home next day and got the warrant and I was taken to the Jpolice court where the case was dismissed; she said she would not have had arrested if she had not been advised by a certain friend; | know the name but I will not give it now; that she had been told to have me arrested and bound over to keep the peace, and i¢sbe hadn't heen so persuaded she woulda’t have done it.” K.—" Well, were you on good terms after and she that’ P we Ww “Yes, si ¢ frien 1 WAS DRINSING THEN OFF AND ON A great deal {night I left Wormley’s abouts o'clock and I goes to some places and drinks and then I went home. I got ready and went to the Lodge—Mount Gassaway, No. 21, Good Samaritaus. About 9 o'clock, when I was going, my wife she wanted to go to her sis- ier-in-law's (Mrs. Ball's, on L -treet, between New Jersey avenue and 2d street.) I said, ‘{t is too late for yeu to go by yourselt; you had bet- ter put it off and go to-morrow.’ ' You see it was atver 9 o'clock then. She then said, ‘I’m going rch then.’ I said, ‘It’s too late, after 9 o'clock now, and by the time you will get to clureh it will be out. YOU HAD BETTER STAY AT HOME, Lam going to the lodge, but I won’t stay long; I am coming right back.’ I then left and went to the lodge at Samaritan Hall, between L &nd M and 15th and 16th streets, and came back # little atter 10 o'clock. She wasn’t home, and 1 being Intoxicated, wert in the yard, and I wn, you see, right against the adjoini! house, where there was alittle bench. I fell o: in a dose like a drunken man will. 1 WASN'T DRUNK, BUT PRETTY HIGH. I don’t know how long I sat there, but I was roused by her calling mo. She said: George!’ but I didn’t answer. She came with a man, and I heard them. She said to this man—I know him, bat I won’t use his name now, it will do no ‘Wait, let me see if he is in the house.’ 1 heard her but did not jand Isat still to see what she would do. After a | little she unlocked the door; and then she goes in and lights the light, and searcnes the house for me, but did not find me. Then she comes out and says to this man: ‘Hes not here;’ and they carried on A CONVERSATION IN WHISPERS, but what they said I don’t know. Then I hears her say: * Wait, let me look in here first;’ and she came and looked in the yard, and there she Saw me sitting. She sang out, ‘Who is that?’ and I said, ‘it is me.’ She then spoke angry and got very mad and said, ‘What are you doing there’ I then comes out and said, ‘1 Was waiting for you to come home, so that I could get in the house.’ Theo she and me both bid this gentleman who come home with her good-night. I don’t think I know—I will not call bis name now. After be had gone, the first thing she said to me was: ‘YOU NEEDN'T BE WATCHING ME, for if I want to do anything I am going to do it The day before the occurrence anyhow! | answered, I am not watching you, an‘ was not thinking of watchin, Teo ‘One word then brought on another, ant goes oat in trouble and began to drink more.

TO MY HEART'S SOREOW it is done.” R.—*Well, Zou errs yourselt np. How did you find out what you had done ?”” P.—* The next day I found myself wandering, can’t say exactly where. I want to tell the truth, and if I put down any particular place it might not be correct. When i came to myseit the facts dawned slowly on my mind as to what had done, and I came in and gave myself up into the hands of the law aud the hands of God.” R.—'‘From what you have said you have made your peace with God ?”” AT PEACE WITH GOD AND MAN.” P.— 0, yes, sir. As soon as I found that I bad trans the laws of God in such an awful way, I commenced to cry for mercy—tor forgiveness of my many sins. | felt a change of heart some time before I was convicted, but after my conviction and sentence, when brother Draper (of Bethel church, M street.) and several of the brethren came and talked and prayed with me, [ received the evidence of full accept- ance of God. I feel now—I know that now | have nothing against anybody under the sun; that 1 am at peace with God and man; that through Jesns I have found forgiveness, and 4m now a witness for Jesus.”” WANTED A CORRECT REPORT. As the representative of THe Star was about leaving, the prisoner cautioned him about har- ing the conversation right, and remarked that he had heard of persons who mae speeches having them in print, and asked if this inter view could not be printed so that he could see it He was told that if that coald not be done t manvseript would be sent him the day tollow- sng so that he could correct it if need be. YENKINS PRONOUNCES THR ABOVE REPORT ACCURATE. Accordingly on Tue#lay morning last Tae Star representative called and left the mana- sotipt, and calling again im the afternoon was ad mitted. Jenkins was singing in manner that showed he was in excellentspirits. The reporter greeting him with the remark, ‘George your time is getting short; how do you feet?” Jen- kins answered: ‘I am not sorry, sir, that it is so short; tor you know the nearer the fountain the Sweeter the water.” Turning over his bed he handed ont the manuscript of the aboye interview with the remark that i al rrect,and a'so gave the reporter o! Stak the followirg paper for publication: Jenkins’ Farewell Addres: “TI don’t mean to say 1 was to her as I should have been, but I never gave her cause to treat meas she did. Well, you might say, if I knew how she treated me when I left her the second time, what did I go back to heragain for? But think fora moment! The Lord had blessed as with two dear little children, and to see one here and one there, my wife in one place and I in another, not knowing how they were getting along! Drawn by the ties of love, happy aad glad was [ to forget the past; loving the welfare of my wife and children, to join with her and iene the children together with us and try to live happy together. Well, did we live happy ? It pains my heart to think. No! we did not. But the last estate was worse than the first. It was the ill-treatment that caused me to drink, and drinking has brought me where I am now. I know she suffered a great many things while she was away trom me, but it was not my fault that she did it. Ibhope Mrs. Beck Ball will read this, and remember when Llived on L street how she caused my wife to treat me. Since then, my wife told me she was the cause of it. I hope the Lord will forgive her, and that she will live up to her professions as a christian. And to my friend Coleman I am sorry to say that he took God's holy bible in lis band- and kissed it to waat was not so. I don’t know that he did it intentionally, or not. Of course he wants to know what was wrong. First, he swore that I followed them all down to street, which God is my witness #3 not s never went ten yards from the house that night. Second, he swore that on the 7th of May I swore that I would cut my wife’s throat, which was as big a mistake as he could make. With no hard feeling on my part, I just want to le him know how mistaken he was. 1 cannot any more. I just give the public a sketch of the best; you may know what the worst was. J would say I hope it won't be offence, but I feel it my duty to say to husbands: ‘Be husbands of one wife, vigilant, sober, kind, and good. Even so must your wife be the wife of one husband, not slanderous: sober, faithful in all things; and see that you don’t bring your husbands into the degradation that my wife brought me to.’ Yet I do thank God that though my sins have been like mountains high, and crimsonof the deepest color, Jesus has washed them as white as snow; and now I can say with a trath, my soul is hid with Christ in God, and without a doubt I shall be where trouble and sorrows shall be no more forever. Though the storms at iimea seem to threaten disaster, yet soon the bow of =e sball span the receding clouds and the bright rays of the sun of rightcousiess will make each tear-drop radiant with upper glory. ‘Through all the scenes of varied days, By crossings sed and strange, In all our works, in all our ways, Through ail lite’s realm of change— We follow on, till pageant gay, Becomes an empty dream, ‘The eager worlds melt away Beside death’s solemn stream. Still there’s awhisper in my heart, Above the current wild A voice that long hassoothed my fears— Keep close to me my child!” Farewell, frienus! Farewell, world! I am going home. My Saviour smiles end bid me come. I’llese you again when you leave this world of sin. I’amhappy and glad to leave this world, and get out of trouble.” THE CHILDREN. In answer to inquiries as to the children, Jen- kins said the eldest was born in May, 1365, and the other in the winter of 1869. (I want mother to have the eldest, and I suppose Mrs. Bali will keep the other; but I am afraid there will be some contention over them, though I hope not.” The representative of Tae STaR asked “* George, you stated that what you had done dawned on you after the occurrerice.”” Jenkins.—* Yes, sir; it came to me that | had killed my wife, but f couldn't get my mind on it d'stinctly. I’don’t recollect of coming home after leaving on Monday night. [ listened care- tully to the evidence, and when Mr. Beckwith testified about the cleaver I tried to bring it to my mind, but could not. The thought that I had killed her would sometimes come to me, an! then would vanish. {f don’t know how to ex plain it.” This closed this interview, and the represe tive of THe Svar left, promising to see him in.

It is 12 feet square, the plat- form being 10 feet from the ground, supported © by 4 timbers at the corners, extending 4 feet ve the floor of the platform—a railing at that height extending around it. In the center of this platform is the trap, 5 by 6 feet, flush with the floor. On the east side a piece of plank « inches long and 3 wide extends an inch above the floor. This piece rests on the endor an iron rod attached to the curved iron, the ends of which support the trap, and a foot being placed On it, the trap is sprung. A flight of 12 wide stepe is on the west side of the structure, near the southwest corner, and in the ceuter of the north and south sides, two upright timbers extend to a neight of 2) feet, sapporting the cross beam of 4 by 8 timber, from the center of which the fatal noose hangs. ‘The whole structure is painted lead ad The Tope used to-day was the same used in thé exe- cution of Grady, March 24th, 1871, and is what is known as three-quarter inch manilla. ‘This was preterred to anew piece, as on the former occasion the kinks had been taken out, thus it certain that there would be no twirl- =e!

JENKINS’ LAST HOURS ON EARTH. About one o’clock yesterday the prisoner's had an interview with him, which was quite an affecting one.

He, in turn, said that he was fully pre- pared to die, and would not exchange with any man on earth, and told her not to las > andbedr hapa sl be Gatland |.

Mr. again entered his cell and spent an hour or two in reading the scriptures and praying. During the latter part of the after- noon he was in @ meditative mood, and after taking a cup of tea and toast laid down to take his last night's sleep. About ,6 o'clock this morning he went down in oe to wash, after which he took Dronkfust, the rete’ wit tale a oh mites were taken off the - oner. He stated to one of the guards that at one o’clock last night he was awakened by the bell tolling the hour, and he thought that e i E Hl er within a few hours he would be in eternity. He then fell nto a dose and siept sound, til four o'clock. He made & request shortly afterward: to see the on the corridor, (irs: left,) in which were Johnson and Edwards, and it was complied with.

My respects to your officers; you have treated me kindly; all I can say to you is, continue in the path of yir- tue and I'll meet you.” 418 BROTHER had entered the room while the death warrant was being read, and stood, with bis his head bowed, in one corner of the room, and as Jen- kins finished the above remarks he took him by the hand, and, throwing one arm about his neck, said, while the tears were streaming down his cheeks: *Oh God! here is my brother, I have done all I could for him; now I leave him to Thee.” The brother then retired with tears trickling down his cheeks. @U0D-BYE. Jenkins then bid each one in the room ‘‘good- bye,” calling all by name, sayin, ‘There’s a crown that awaits usin glory. Press on; we will soon meet where there is no trouble. Glory to God!
