Mrs. Lydia Sherman, a brief account of whose trial and convictionfor the murder of her third lmsband, Horatio N. Sherman, by poison, has been heretofore published in the telegrams of 4 STAR, was on Saturday last brought into ¢ superior court at New Haven, Connecticut, te receive the sentence of the court. She is de- ibed as having been the most indifferent per- sen of all the assem! crowded the court Teom to witness the scene. The jailer conducted her toa chair in the middie of the ceurt room, when Judge Sanford proceeded as follows to pronounce THE SENTENCE. “Mrs. Sherman, as one ot the court before whom you were recently tried and convicted of one of the highest crimes known to the law, I aan now called upon to prononnce upen you the law's sentence. Before doing so, however, if you desire to say anything, the court will give you an oI mnnity.” Samuel M. Gardner, of Derby, one of ber coun- 1, responded in her behalf that she had noth- y for sentence. — uige Sanford, The indietment upon which you’ were tried charges you with having, on the &th of May, 1871, feloniously, wilfully, and with malice atorethought, tak the life of your husband, Horatio N. Sherman, by means of a deadly poison by you administered to him, and so you were charged with ha comanitted the crime of murder in the first gree. Upon that indictment you were tried by a ary largely of your own seicction. You were ably defended by most able counsel, and after a ful, fair and impartial hearing were pronounced by your triers guilty, not of the crime as charged against yon, but of siurder in the second degree. In the opinion of the court, as constituted at the time of your trial, the jury wonld have been fully justitied, upon’ the evidence, int finding you guilty of murder in the first ‘degree, the | oe mentor which would have been h. cent devel nts have fully vindicated t! soundness of t opinion; but the jury, -while believing and finding you neg Al murder, were probably not satisfied ¢ erime was ed by that amount of evidence neces- sary under the statute to a conviction of a capi- tal offense, and, therefore, as within their pro- vince, convicted of the crime of murder im the second degree, and so you escape the gallows only to suffer life-lo1 prison walls.

Her confession was as follows : I was born near the town of Burlington, N.J., December 24, 1824. My mother died when I was nine years old, and I was sent to live with my uncle, Mr. John Claygay. I never attended school mach, being able to go only about three months in the year. At 16 years of e I went to New Brans- with my two brothers, and afterward to live with the Rev.

I lived there eight ‘One ay Mr. Jobn Fairchiek!, at whose store I bought our groceries, asked me if I would like to keep house for a man who had just lost his wife. In this way T beeame acquainted with Mr. Hurl- burt, who lived in Coram, Huntington. “After I had been a few days with him he asked me to marry him, which I lid November 22, 1858. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Mr. Mor- ton in his own house. We lived happily for fourteen months. About three months after we were married Mr. Hurlburt made hie will. He was sulyject to fits of dizziness, THE PIFTH MURDER. One day he was unwell, and he ate clams and drank cider with saleratus in it. Ther he be- came worse. On one oceasion he made me drink cider and saleratus, after which I became very sick and dizzy, and I téok to vamiting. Finally Mr. Hurlburt becasse worse, and abont So'clock one morning the eld man ‘died. Now I wish to say that never gave Mr. Harlbuct anything that would cause sickness, though there may have been arsenic mixed with the saleratns which he put into the cider. About two months after Hurlburt died, I heard that Horatio N. Sherman, of Birmingham, waaited me to take a litte baby to board. I ‘met Mr. Sherman one Sunday morning. He introduced himself to me, aml said that he had another ob ject in calling besides getting me to take eare o! tis baby. He wanted me as his housekeeper, because his mother-in-law and his daughter could not get along well together. I said J would think about it. Two weeks later he came in and offered to marry me. Itold him we ought to be better ‘acquainted. He said he was compelled to get some one, as he couid not hay the old woman in the house, as she was ci aconstantdisturbance.

After we been married about two months, Mr. Sherman sail one day that he wishe:l his babe ro would die, as then the oki woman shonld not stay another day in the house.

That = the child died at 11o’clock. This was November 15, 1870. MORE TROUBLE. Instead of making matters better, everything ‘w worse. Mr. Sherman and his mother-in- law kept constantly quarreling about a piano. for which she claimed Mr. Sherman owed her $70. Isold my farm for $1,100, of which I re- ceived $300 cash;so I gave Mr. Sherman $100, told him to pay her, which he did, and then the old woman left us. Mr. Sherman then took to drink, and I supported the family for about six months. During this time I found that he had dissipated the money I gave him, instead of paying his bills with it,so Thad to pay about £300 more for him. Then came Christmas, and Ada devoted a great deal of time in decorating the church. I furnished her with all her clothes and paid her dressmaking bills. On Christmas eve Ada was taken sick and Dr. Beardsley was again sentior. He prescribed a brandy sling for her, but Mr. Sherman drank all the liquor I bought. I coukl not keep adropfor Ada. The next morning she was no better, and we sent for Dr. Dutton, of Milford. When the doctor came r. Sherman was sodrunk that he could not walk straight. Mr. Sherman asked me for $1+ to pay the doc! Trefused to give it saying that I would pay the doctor mys: he got mad and went out. STILL ANOTHER MURDER That made me feel so bad that I was tempted to do as I had done before. I had some arsen! in the house, which 1 mixed in her tea and g: to her twice. She died the next morning. T! Mr. Sherman began — more thane: He did very little for the family, leaving me to pay for everything. He went on in that way until quite fate in the wiuter. His brother Andrew and wife and his brother George came to visit us, but that only made matters worse. 1 tried to Log Sherman to join the temperance m society, he kept on drinking. At last I joined 'a temperance society, and then George Sherman and my husband joined it together My husband only kept it a few weeks, and then went to drinking harder than ever. He next sold my piano for $325 and put $300 in the bank in my name. Two weeks after he drew it out and went to New Haven, where he spent every cent of it.
