4 THE LEATH The Brutal Murder of Mr. Maxwell at Franconia, New Hampshire. Exeeution of Samuel Mills for the Crime. PENALTY, Graphic Account of the Crime, Eseapes from Jail, the Trial and the Expiation, + HAVERHILL, N. H., May 6, 1868, The death penalty, always horrible to contemplate, dreadful to witness and painful to inflict, has seldom been carried into effect under circumstances more richly deserving than those attending the crime for which Samuel Mills was executed in this town to- day. The terrible horror so generally incident to the scene of an execution seemed to have been partially or wholly removed in the remembrance of the cool, deliberate and atrocious murder of oid, inoffensive George Maxwell, one of the kindest and most be- nevolent men that ever honored the town of Fran- conia or the State of New Hampshire with his resl- dence, So terrible in’ design and so cruei in execu- tion was the tragedy for which Milis yielded his life as the penalty that the citizens for miles and miles around have ever been clamorous for his early execution, and instead of the usual army of philanthropists imploring mercy and. re- prieve fora condemned criminal, there have been what may almost be termed mobs anxious that tne murder of old Mr. Maxwell should be avenged speedily, even at the sacrifice of the regular pro- ceedings characteristic of a law-abiding community, ‘This feeling, although anite prevalent, especially in the immediate vicinity of where the tragedy was committed, has been kept in check by the threatened if not actual presence of the State military force, and now that the condemned has been disposed of in the manner every one desired he should be, the people will quietly rejoice in their own hearts, recover from the excitement in a day or two and pursue their various vocations with the feeling that there is at least one Jess villain in tis world ‘and one more in the next than there was Whe. the sun dawned this morning. THE MURDER. To call the crime a murder is Stating it mildly. It was a butchery—a cruel massacre, as 2 record of the rough facts will readily convince the reader. 1t was on the stl of December, 1806, that Mills, who fe an Englishman by birth, broke open the trunk of a fel- low boarder in Lisbon, where he was employed in the gold mines, and abstracted a watch and about $100 in greenbacks. With this piunder he started for Franconia, where he had formerly resided, arriving at the house of old Mr. Maxwell about n o'clock in the evening. ‘This man wassingle, sixty-five years of age, and lived alone in peaceful bachelorhood, and, unfortunately, was acquainted with Milis, who had time and time again accepted the hospi tality of eres eye yar end Same JOURNBY FROM UdANOIS TO NEW HAMPSHIRE— cy APB.

Mr. Sargent accompanied him-and as Mills entered he attempted to close the door between them, but in this he was folled and cautioned against making further under penalty of being chained to his seat. As he after. wards confessed, it was his intention to close and lock the saloon door, take off his irens and then jump from the car window into @ snow bank. He was closely guarded afverwards and’ no o; ‘tunity offering he was brought safely to New without further trouble. ARRIVAL AND RECEPTION OF THE PRISONER IN N: HAMPSHIRE, 2 The arrival of the prisoner near the scene of his horrible crime was of course an event of unusual interest and attended with great excitement. The day that he would reach Franconia was announced be telegraph, and him. All busi the whole Lown turned out to see was sus} led and the occasion ma le a gencral holiday or @ sort of a jubilee. When the train arrived the crowd was so. dense that it was with difficulty that a id be. carriage aw: » the and Having finally made their way driven to the hotel, where Mills a ‘hen ie was comm! to jail trial, and si ently convicted and sentenced to the penalty which wasinflicted upon him to-day. |AN EVENING VISIT OF THE PRISONER TO THE SCENE OF THE) MURDER—HIS CONFESSION. A novel and successful way was resorted to forthe of moving the er toa confession, if ie wus indeed guilty of the crime. On the evening before the exammnat the offiger and the selectmen of onta conveyed Mills to the house where Maxwell had been murdered. Up to this tnere was but circumstantial evidence against the ac- . The house of the murdered man was un- ocenpied, and was in every respect (with the exception of the removal of the: mur- dered man) the same as when the crime was committed, some weeks before. It was a dark and dreary night, the wintry biast whistled through the cracks and crevices, and everything around seemed wloomy and deserted. Everything ese save the wind was. silent and dead as @ country grave- yard. The murderer was taken into the’ rickety dwelling slowly and cautiously, and with the disinal ligat of a smoky santern made to view here and there ihe floors, the cellligs, the walls, all besineared with the clotted and dried up biood of old Mr. Maxwell. ‘The axe and tie table, the chairs and the disarranged furniture were all there to meet his terrible gaze, and {tis not strange that such a scene was weil caicu- lated to fill the mind of the murderer with the most powerful of unpleasant sensations. _Hescemed en- tirely overcome, ant his whole powerful frame was instantly al of a tremble, and instead of the proud, boasting bravado of a moment before, he siood & confessed murderer. Giving away entirely to his emotions, he exclaimed that he was guilty, that he Would make a fail confess.o1; but he preferred to do stat another time and place. The exc day he made a clean breast of everything, giving tie particulars of the crime and the motive, as alreudy staied. DESPERATE EFFORTS AT E304PK. During his confinement in jail hero the time of Mills was almost wholly occupied in. devising means of escape, and on two separate occasions he was suc- cessful, and at another tine he came very near taking Jeg bail. The strength of iron bars and a thirty pound iron chain around his ankles yie:ded to his skill and ingenuity. The first attempt he made to get away he stripped himself of nearly ail his cloth- ing; for, expecting figat with the Sheriff, as he said, he thought it would be prudent to have as few garments as possible for him to take hold of. His pian was irustrated, however, for there came timely cur the old man’s table and roof and frequently re- ceived other substantial assistance in the hour of need. The next morning (which was day) some of Mr. Maxwell's neighbors called at his hous», and presently made a discovery which curdled the -blood with horror and sent a thrill of terror through the whole town, On the floor of the pantry lay tie dead body of the old.man, mangled in the most siiocking manner, The face had been pounded to a jelly, the head was nearly split in twatn and likewise almost severed from the body. The ceiling of the pantry was bespattered witht blood; the floor was besineared with it; the furnimire in the vicinity was disordered and everywhere there were evidences of a fearful and desperate struggle of the victim with his murderer. In the adjoining room stood the supper table, and upon it were to pilates, indicating that when assailed the Kind hearted oid man Was preparing to share his hospitaliry with the flendish wre'ch who was awaiting the opportunity to slay him. The manner in which the murder was committed, according to a subsequent fession of Mills, was in this wise:—As the old gentleman was stepping ito the pantry be Was struck # blow from behind with a ‘stick of wood, which, however, did not — inea- pacitate him for resistance, but rather served to arouse the o:d man’s energies, for there immediately commenced on his part a most desperate strugy’ for life. Mills managed to dr knife On AS possible, which he used Yigorously, succeeding in plunging its biade no less. Ulan n times tato the neck and body of his vietim. The old attempted to wrench the weapon from the assassin, but as often as he grasped the b.ade it Wasdrawn through his haad, fearfully jacerating lus fingers and rendering him con- stantly less poweriul. In spite of ali tina, howev the old man st.ll struggled, and Mills, wrou, & mad desperauou by Maxwell's unexpect ance, seized an tron relat near by and w! blow m: dio Knock his victim prostrs con: floor. Noi satisiied then, but to “make assurance doubly sure,” the wretch obt ed an axe and buried it deep in tue old man’s skull, and, as the murderer has sinve sa 1 actorily expi ed it, ** that was what teh de well to single out his movements just comiitted tue deed. After mukiug himself certain that the old man was dead he sat down to the table, his hands yet unwasied of the bivod of his victim, and very coolly and complacently cat a hearty sup- per. Pieces of biscuit daubed with blood, the han- dies of the fork and teapot also besmneared, were found on the table when the crime was discovered. Having satisfied the inner man with a bountiful re- past the murderer took the axe and proceeded to carry out tue purpose Which he had inaugurated by murder, and which seems to have been an acquisl- tion to his financial resources, He broke open all the trunks in the house, selecting several arvicies from each, but only securing $25 or thereabouts in money. TRE F SUIT AND CAPTURE. The next iter Which would naturally suggest itself to the juurderer were the means and manner of Without meditating any unnecessary leugth he proceeded to the stable, harnessed up the old man’s horse, filed a bag with oats to f the horse on the Way, drove out of the yard, fastened the gate, leaving the bloody prin.s of his hands be- hind, and drove rapidly io Gorham, Me, a distance of about forty miles, where it was ais intention to get aboard one of the trains of the Grand Trank Rail- road and proceed West. Reaching Coram he left his jhorse at a stable, with orders to have it kept until his return. During the day he spent most of ; the time with an Irisbinan tn the town, and early | | the next movniug started for Northumberland, where he took breakfast, making the trip Inside of & ht car unkuown to the conductor or any of the tralu men. He pushed on and in tic evening was at Island Pond, Vt., where he secreted himself in a | liquor #@.00n and remained until ihe arrival of the night train for Montreal, upon whieh he emberked | and went through. He made only © short stop at Montreal, however, bat took the first train bonnd Weat and proceeded through to Galena, IN. The movements of Mills, up tothe time of his taking | the Montreai traia, were traced by ew Hamp. | shire officers, but subsequent to y could got | no tangible or detinite clue to his whereabouts, The | murder continuing to be the canse of great excire- | ment in Francona, a town meeting was called. which it was voted to einploy a detective, Moves Sa gent, formerly Chiet of the Boston etive f , Was secured, and he immediately commenced to “work up" the case. Proceeding to Franconia on the toth of January he surveyed the seene of the turd | note of such facts and incidents as presented selves, conversed with those with whom Mills had . and finally obtained what subsequently proved to be vn accurate idea of the churicv pearance aud nature of the mardere the ot i; then had printed a description of the murderer, his habit, character, &c., copies of Which he sen: superintendents of most of the mining districts in Canada, the Lake Superior region and points mor: distant West, Mr. Sarge theory being that % listen rarely change the vocation adopted whe: young, and believing lly 40 with miners, he felt contiok 1 not iong , keep out of that business, and it soon turned out that his suspicions or opinions were corgect. oiticer visited several of tue mines in Canada, found | that Mills had been there, and gathered other infor. | mation which led him to believe that he had gone the West.

A cell for his special keeping was then built, and the blacksmith Who made some new manacies for him declared that with an anvil, chisel and hammer they could not be removed. In less than an honr— Without these implements, however—the inge- nuity of Mills resulted in his shaking tiem of Ma moment, and then ina few moments more the cell which had been provided for his special keeping Was broken, and at midday the murderer passed un- observed ont of the prison.
