Brutal Murder of @ Defenceless Wo. man, CONFESSION OF HOLLOHAN WHO KILLED MRS LAMPLEY IN BALTIMORE. Thomas R. Hollohan, under sentence of death for the murder of Mrs. Lampley, in Baltimore on the 2d of January, yesterday addressed a letter to a member of the press who had shown him some favors, in which he says: “My sen- tence isjust. I have broken the laws of God and man, and 1 am willing to give up my life, but I should like to have John Nicholson’s com pany on the platform.” He then goes on to state, in substance, as fol- met Nicholson, and took a ride with nton. He knew I had been in trouble nd was not bashful in Proposing this job. Mr. Lampley had $3,000 in the house, which we would get, but that we must kill the old woman, or she might recognize him. I re- fused to enter the scheme then. On the day of the murder I met Nicholson, and went to his house with him, and learned there that the family were going to the theatre, leaving the old lady slone, and we determined to do the deed then, and arranged all the particulars. We entered the house without knocking and found Mrs. Lampley sitt®g im a rocking chair sewing. She treated us to cake and wine, and was putting up cake for Nicholson’s children when he gave the signal. I choked her and he struck her in the stomach. She was then dead, and we carried her into an adjoining room. I remained with the lady while Josh went up stairs and broke open the boxes. I went irs for ® minute, and he handed me the sil- left the house by the stable, and on reaching the street Nicholson gave all the , which I kept until the sth of January, and then divided with him. Tucker knew nothing about it, and received none of the mo- ney. Ifear this Nicholson may escape. If se there is no just law in the state of Maryland.” He states that he made the confession in order that it might be published and the citizens w the truth. He wrote the confession with his own hand on six pages of foolscap. It is written plainly but with many errorsof spell ing. Hollohan is to be executed June 13. Nic! olson has not yet been sentenced, his case ha’ ing been taken to the court of appeals on a bi of exceptions. —— ————— RREST OF THE EiGuTR WARD MURDEREK 1s New Yorx.—James Jackson, the murderer of Mary Jane Sullivan, on Saturday last in.

THE POLARIS EXPEDITION Strange Story of the Survivors They Were Abandoned by the Polaris. Suspicions that Captain Mall was Interesting Narrative of Arctic Ad- ventures. New York, May 21.—Thirteen columns of the details of the Polaris expedition derived from the survivors were published this morning The prevailing impression of the nineteen un- fortumates when left on the ice was that Bud dington had wilfully abandoned them. They algo believe that Capt. Hall was poiso They lived principally upon seals, oocasionally indulging in roast hey al dog. ribute TAEIR WONDERFUL PRESERVATION to the ity and perseverance of Capt. Thyson. The latter says that while the scien tific results of the expedition amount to nothing, yet it demonstrated that it is possible to penetrate tarther into that mysterious region of sea and ice than Franklin, Hayes, or any other explorer proceeded, and that it furnished evidence of the probable existence of a Polar sea. On the 10th of October, Capt. Hall started on A SLEDGE EXPEDITION NoRTH to renew his vigorous efforts in the direction of the Polar sea. The sleds “two in number’ were drawn by Esquimaux dogs purchased at Holsteinberg. Capt. Hall was accompanied by Joe Hans Christian, and Chester, the mate. The party was absent two weeks and returned to Polaris bay on the 2ith of October, 1571. No authentic information can be procured of the events that occurred on the two weeks trip, but it fo song that after hisreturn to the ship Capt. Hall was almost immediately taken sick. CAPT. HALL'S SICKNESS AND DEATH. John Heron, the steward, makes the follow- ing statement: ‘Captain Hall had good health up to the time of returning from the sledge ex pedition. He was not sick when he came on rd, but complained soon after, and said that the beat of the cabin affected him. He got water to wash and put on clean underclothing l asked him what he would have; was anxious to get him something nice. He did not care about anything but a cup of coffee, an did not drink even that. Captain Hall, except to ask him if be was better or how he was, and such like. He was sick a fortnight, and’ talked very little. He was per fectiy delirious for the last fourdays. 1 think he was paralyzed; heard no one say so. my own opinion. There was nothing su: about his death. He was attended by Dy sels and Mr. Norton, who did everyth their power toalleviate his sufterin, out effect. ness cast a gloo: entire company, and was the first discoarsging circumstance which had occurred in connection with the expedition. His death made us all feel very sad. AWFUL BURIAL SCENE. Capt. Tyson, speaking of Capt. Hal ys:—** Hall wassick fifteen days. At first be aralyzed and then delirious. He was i sensible when be died. On the sth ot Novem ber he died, and was buried onthe 11th. His rave bore south southeast, and about five hun red paces distant from the observatory in Po- laris bay, which was in latitude 81°, 35’, longi tude 61°, 44, op shore. We erected a board over his grave, with an inscription cut, giving his name, age, (fifty vears,) date of death, am command of the North Polar expedition. All hands, except the cook, attended his funeral It was a dark, dismal, cold, windy and dixagree- able day. The wind was mournfully howling, and the hearts of all were enveloped in the deepest sadness. Old sailors, whose faces bad been bronzed by summer suns and frozen in Arctic seas, wept aloud. Capt. il was uni- versally beloved, and his death at the enterprise promised so fully . his survivors to be an irretrievable loss.
