Whe next morning she lad a very bad headache, ‘put she told Katy that she wouki go home with ber when ‘she went in the afternoon; but in Bhe afternoon Ada said she could not go as she felt bad. We had dinner Iate that day, as Mr. Sherman was out. Ada eat quite a hearty dinner, and afterwards she went in to Mrs, Hubbard’s and told her she felt sik. She was quite sick allthe rest ofthe day. I made her a béd on the sofa, and when her father came home 1 tok him that Ada was quite sick. He went after Dr. Beardsley. ‘When he came he sald he thought she was going to have afever. He prescriped for her and came the ext morning to find her no better. In the after Boon he ‘came again, but he did not consider her @angerous until Tiursday, when he said she was & very sick gir) and that he did notthink she would get well. HORATTO DRINKING ADA’S BRANDY. Mr. Sherman’ began about this time to drink very hara, The doctor ordeted a brandy sling for Ada, and I got a pint inthe afternoon and Mr. Sherman kept drinking it. I could not keep a drop for Ade, I got apintin the even- img, and Nelly had to hide it from his father to keep him from drinking it during the night. He asked me where it was, and I told him I did not -mnow. Then he went itairs to Nelson, and made him tell him where it was. Mr. Sherman gotit and Mixed some for Ada and drank the rest himself ‘The next morning the doctor came and found her | mo better. We then sent‘to Milford for Dr, Dutton, but he did not come. Mr. Sherman went out and gaid he would see if he could not see Dr. Dutton. In the evening he andthe doctor eame in, Mr. Sher- man so drunk he could not walk straight. Dr. Dut- ton did net prescribe -anything for her. Mr. Sher- man asked me for ten dollars, as he was going down with tne doctor and he wanted to pay him, and I told him I would pay the doctor myselt. mad and went out. ADA POISONED ALSO, T felt so bad I was tempted to do as I had done before. 1 had some arsenic in the house, and 7 mixed some in her tea and gave it to her twice, and she died the next morning. Then Mr. Sher- man commenced drinking worse, and as fast as he earned any money he spent it. He did very little for his family. I had to pay for everything. He ‘would order wood and coal and! had to pay for them out of my money. He went on in that way ‘antil quite late in the Winter. One day his brother Andrew and wife were on to spend a few days. Mr. Sherman was in very bad humor all the while they were there. Andrew said, ‘I understand you Rave let Nelson have a good dealof money.” I told Bim I bad let him have money, put I did not ‘want to have any one know how much. I told him W Nelson would try todo right I should not care anything about it. Then he said that he had heard that Nelson had been riding around with other women, and that it was a shame to him when he had such awife. Itold him that I did notknow anything about it; that he was away from home and spent all his money. At that time his brother Seorze was there and stayed some weeks. All of this time I had to support the family, and George ‘new it, and said it was bard for me to support them and give him so much money. George went 40 Brooklyn, N. Y., and soon afterwards came back egain and stayed two or three weeks, TAKING THE PLEDGE. All this time Mr, Sherman was going on in this ‘wey—working, drinking and spending his money— and lused to sit up most all night and wait for tim tocome home. George and I talked about it, ‘and J told him I could not stand it and that I was Sempted to leave him. He said it was better for eo to do it before Ihad spent ail) my money, be- Sause Nelson would not be any better to meas tong as he knew [had any money left; and if! re- fused to give him money! might as wel! take my wings and leave. I told George I wished he would get him to join a temperance society, and Mr. and Mrs, Hubbard got some of the members of the Division to talk with him. They talked with him peveral times, and finally he gave his consent, but be Kept on drinking. 1 joincd the Division, and then I got George to take Mr. Sherman in, ana they joined it together. He kept the pledge a few weeks, and brought me home his month’s pay and told me to use it the best way I could. HR PIANO SOLD FOR 4 SPREE. ‘Then he went to drinking again harder than ever, Finally he sold the piano for $325, and put $300 in the bank in my name, and it remained in the bank two or three weeks. Mr. Bunnell and Mr. Sher- man hired ateam and came into New Haven. He said he would be back in the evening about nine welock. I did not see him for ten days, and dur- ‘Ing that time | inquired of every oneif they knew where he was. Once I was told he was in New Haven, and once that he was down to Milford Point. I was told that he had been seen with $200, and they asked me if I Iet him have any money. I to!d them that I did not, and that he did not have a cent of my money when he left. Then I went down to the Mask factory and inquired if he had spent his wages in drinking. Mr. Biakeman, who paid the men, told me he had not, and that he wanted Mr. Sherman to secure his pay so that any party he owed could not fake it. 1 told Mr. Blakeman of the $200 in the Dank, and said to him that I was afraid Mr, Sherman had drawn it out. Mr. Blakeman said he ‘would go and sce. In the afternoon he came and said that Mr. Sherman had drawn every cent of the money out of the bank, He teld me that Mr. Birdsey told Bim that Mr. Sherman put it in the bank in my mame, in trust, to keep it from betng factorized. 1 told his (Sherman’s) son Ne!sen about it, and he aid bis father would not come home until he had SPENT EVERY CENT OP I. On Thursday evening he told me that on the next @ay he should go to look for his father. The next morning he told me that he had no money to go ‘with, and I gave him some for that purpose. He ‘went to New Haven and found his father. He Brought him to Derby with ateam. Nelson came ‘Rome about seven o'clock, and 1 asked him if he Sound his father and he said “yes,” and that he Scft him at Derby and that he would be home soon, About eight o'clock Mr. Sherman came in. I met Salm at the door and said “1 AM GLAD YOU ARE ALIVE.” He said, “I suppose you did not know where I ‘was?’ and I said, “How should Iknow?” Then he asked for Nattie (the youngest sen) and I told him ‘Rc was in bed. Then ke went into the bedroom to retire, and J asked him if he did not want some supper, and he said he did not. The next day being Saturday he remained at home all day, and com- Plained of not feeling well. On Sunday afternoon Sbout four o'clock he went out and said he would Bot be gone long. I did not see him until half-past one o'clock at night; when he came in he was very @reak.

The first inno- cent victim who will appear to-morrow will be Dawes, who will read his little confession, which he might have read on Friday or yester- dy had not procrastination been desired. This confession will be the old Garden of Eden story, altered for the occasion. “Ames tempted me and I did take stock, but I gave it back.” He will not, however, be able to deny that in the meantime he received at least one dividend of thirty-five per cent, although no one expects that he will be able to swear positively how much that dividend was, or when it was declared. In- deed it willbe a surprise to the lookers on if Dawes remembers a single date, when he bought the stock or when he threw it back on Ames, deducting the enormous dividend at the set- tlement. Yet Dawes is called a methodical man, who keeps accounts, and who might have given the days, months and years of his transactions with his colleague. This absence of figures gives a thin look to ali this so-called testimony of the innocents, so.corrupted by Ames. But before this investiga- tion goeson much further account books will be produced, which will show how, where and when the stock was placed among Ames’ Congressional scarlet letters to McComb. It will be secn that the first issue of stock to Ames was on the 20th of January, 1863, when he feeling 80 bad, and I thought I could give all up to | received twelve certificates in blank, Nos. 337 to Christ and confess to Him and all would be right, 848, both inclusive.

Finally one night I made up my mind that I would give up to Christ and confess everything and I did. I knelt down and said I was sorry, and asked Him to forgive me. I felt better then; I felt that the burden was gone, and that I was forgiven. When 1 felt that I must confess it to the world I felt it was my duty to do that, that others might be warned. 1 felt that I could not be forgiven unless that was done.

Tad, “ havn't I 1”? She said, “I know you have been, but I think you have become a good woman.”? Igaid that I felt that I wanted to let everybody know how bad I had been, aud shat I could not be forgiven unless I did, She spoke to Mr. Webster, and he came in the next morning and asked me if I wanted to make a confeesion, and 1 said J did. Then, of course, I toia him. After I made up my mind I felt better, and after I told him all the OPPRESSION WAS GONE FROM MY HEART, and ever since I have been perfectly contented and my mind is at ease. I feel that I know that Goa has forgiven me, and that after 1am done here I shall have a home there with Him. I made up my mind that I would give up everything in this world and think nor care for anything here. Ithink it was on Christmas that Mrs, Crumb came here to talk to me, and that it was she and ber talking to me and praying with me that helped me to do this; and @ great deal is owing to Mr. Lutz, He was here on Christmas Day. Mrs, Crumb was the meaus of my making up my mind finally to GIVR MYSELP UP TO CHRIST. I would like the world to know how I feel.

It being remarked te her that her quarters in the State Prison would not be as pleasant ‘as those she had occupied, she remarked that she did not care; she had placed herself en- turely In God’s hands, and was ready to bear what He placed upon her, She also said she wanted Christian people to know how she felt, and to have them paint her case as @ warning to others, WHAT OF THE DOCTORS ? Being asked if none of the doctors who attended the persons after they were poisoned ever asked any questions or made any remarks indicating any suspicions on their part, she replied that none of them did until after Sherman’s death, and that she heard of nothing that indicated that any one had their suspicions aroused, Speaking of the doctors she said, “It seemed strange to me that the doctors who were considered Very talent:d, and were allowed to give burial permits in New York did not discover anything. They said the children wore sick with fever. When Mr. Hurlburt was sick the doctors said be had the old-fashioned ¢holera morbus,”” In regard to the case of Hurlburt she said, “They say they found arsenic in him, but I do not know how he gotit, Idid not know there was any inthe hor He might have got some down in Derby and Inet know it, He used to drink and put something in his drink, but Ido not know what it was, [knew @ man gave him a recipe and told him he could make twelve barrels of liquor from one with it, but Ido not know what the stuff was,” DETAILS OF THE LATEST aMOURS, To questions asked she said that she became cn- gaged to Sherman at the time the Taylors came to look at her farm in Huntington in July, 1870. She said that her maiden name was Lydia Danbury, and that when she married Struck, her first hus- band, he was a widowcr and had six children, the youngest of whom was four years old.

There is no record of payment on these shares, On the 28th of April Ames received nine additional certificates of ten shares each, and one for three shares, making ninety-three shares. For these he charged at the rate of $97 per share, and allowed seven per cent for nine mouths at par value. 8o all that he paid on these ninety-three shares was a little over one thousand four hundred dollars, The first lot was probably All distributed, to use Ames’ own words, “wherever it would do most good.’? Mr. Benjamin E. Green has addressed a letter to Mr. J, M. Wilson, Chairman of the Crédit Mobilicr Investigating Commitee No. 2, offering to show how the charter of the Crédit Mobiller was orig- inally obtained by his father, General Duff Green, anda afterwards fraudulently appropriated by Oakes Ames and his associates at the expense of the people of the United States and the dona fide stockhulders of the Union Pacific Railroad. He also offers to suggest a remedy by which @ part at least of the losses could be recovered. Our Mexican Commissioners—Cortina Preparing to Find Them Employment. Messrs. Robb and Savage, of the Commission to inquire into the depredations by Mexicans.on the Texas frontier, will leave Washington to-morrow for Chicago, where they will be joined by General Osborne, of that city, who has been appointed a Commissioner in the place of Mr. Meade, resigned. Judge Moore, of Illinois, has been appointed secre- tary of the Commission, and when théy reach the Rio Grande they will, by the authority given them, employ a translator and interpreter. Thus the arrangements for ascertaining all the facts in the inquiry with which they are charged are more complete than hereto- fore. The President takes a deep interest in the subject, and has caused such instructions to be issued as will render the Commission more eft- cient in the collection of facts, and besides, cavalry are being sent to several points on the Rio Grande, im accordance with the recommendation of the Commission, with a view to guard several of the most exposed points from Mexican raids, Private advices represent that General Cortina ts stronger than ever; that he is now raising an army, and willon the 15th of March issue a pronuncia- mento taking possession of the Mexican frontier, thus acting independently of the Mexican govern- ment. Accounts have been received that the treaty made by Ministers Nelson and Mariscal last fall for the extension of the mixed commission has failed, the Mexican Congress having adjourned before Mr. Nelson returned to Mexico with the treaty for ratidcation. The present Commission will, therefore, terminate next March or April, leaving many cases unadjusted. The President’s Interest in the Roumain Jews—Instructions to United States Ministers. The diplomatic correspondence accompanying the President’s annual Message has just beem printed. It appears trom the documents that our government addressed letters to all ur Ministers in Europe instructing them to represent fo the respective governments to which they are accred- ited the deep interest taken by the United states in the Jews of Roumania, and to ask their good oMces in protecting them from Outrages and per- secutions. It is oMicially represented that the ill- treatment of the Jews is not connected with the religious question, but concerns labor, and that the Roumanian government find it a dif ficult task to 80 act as to preserve the public tran- quility and at the same time satisfy public opinion, ‘The Roumanian people call upon the government totake measures to prevent the country beng overrun by Jews, and the authorities fear to take the required action through fear of offending the tolerant spirit of Europe. Owing to this state of affairs the country is kept in a constant state of agitation, which, prejuilictal as it is to the in* terests of the province, serves the aims of those who desire to render stable government impossible in Roumania, and thus to facilitate ite absorption by neighboring powerful States. Mr. Peixotto, our Consul at Bucharest, in a communi- cation to the State Department, say tise source of satisfaction to know that the action al- ready taken and that contemplated by the Powers directly partaking of political control is likely to hasten the results had in view by our government when, In my appointment, it sought to exercise a moral influence in the same dtrection.”” ‘The Haytien Minister Worried by an Aunexation Ghost.

He was very excited, nervous and despondent, and scemed to have lost all hope of a new trial or @ pardon from the Execu- tive. The scaffold, he said, was his doom, and be knew that he should have to swing. In spite of this terrible feeling which he manitested, the om- cers of the jail seem to have hardly used ordinary care to prevent him from taking bis own life, In some mysterious manner he obtained posses- sion of the blade of a shoe knife, which he fastened to the end of a stick, and with this formidable weapon he attempted to sever the arteries of one of his arms and produce death by bleeding.
