In September of 1841 the entire country was stirred by the coldblooded killing of Samuel Adams, a highly respected printer of New York city. No such deep and widespread excite- ment had for many years attended any other of the numercus murders com- mitted for pecuniary shotives. The deed was done by John C. Colt, the author of the system of bookkeeping and penmanship bearing his name, and brother of the well known inven- tor of the revolver. The reason for this murder was as uncalled for and upon as small a prov- ocation as was the murder of 3 Parkman, the millionaire of Bo.g, by Prof. Webster of Harvard univer- sity. Colt had for some time owed Adams a bill for pnnufi which he e was unprepared to pay. final call made by Adams at Colt's room on roadway for a settlement of the ac- count resulted in tragedy. - For some days the mysterious ab- sence of Mr. Adams was the subject of universal comment in the newspaper press. The discovery of the murder was made through the instrumentality of a Mr. Wheeler, who ocupied a room adjoining that of Mr. Colt. About 4 o'clock on the day of Mr. Adams' dis- appearance Mr. Wheeler thought he heard an unusual noise in Colt's room and was induced to go to the door and rap. Not recgiving any answer, Wheeler looked through the kevhole and saw two hats upon a table and Colt kneel- ing upon the floor, as if scrubbing it. After waiting a little while Mr. ‘Wheeler peeped into the keyhole again and saw Colt still engaged in the same operation. This excited his suspicion and he caused a person to watch at the door all night. In the morning Colt was seen to take a box about four feet long and two high down- stairs. The box was directed to some- body in St. Louis, via New Orieans. Mr. Wheeler gave information of these facts to the mayor, who Immediately instituted search for the box. It was found after some difficulty on board of the ship Kalamazoo, and in it the body of Mr. Adams, wrapped up In sailcloth and sprinkled with salt and chloride of lime. Colt was at once arrested and an indictment for willful and deliberate murder found against him. His trial resulted in his conviction, and, not- withstanding the efforts of numerous and powerful friends and the lavisi use of money in his behalf the fatal day arrived when he was to pay the extreme penalty of the law for his crime. At the trial he- continued to proclaim his Innocence and he spoke | harshly of the press, which he accused his death. There were many picturesque things in connection with the trial and the death of Colt. At 11 o'clock on the day he was to be executed the Rev. Dr. Anthor visited his cell in com- pany with Colt’s brother for the pur- pose of marrying the murderer to his mistress, Caroline Henshaw. The ceremony was pérformed, Colt mani- "’“Eo' deep interest in their child. han He ded a package contalning $500 for its benéfit to Dr. Anthon, who proffered to become sponsor for it. Following the ceéremony, two of Colt's former friends, John Howard Payne and Lewis Gaylord Clarke, vis- ited him. After a call from the sher- iff and a vfsit and prayer from Dr. Anthon, Colt asked to be alone until the last moment. This was about 2 o'clock. His cell was closed and he was left alone until about twenty min- utes of 3, when some friends of the eheriff apprehending that an attempt at suicide might be made, desired Deputy Sheriff Hillyer to go to Colt celi door and request to wish him good-by, Colt at the time was pacing to_and fro in the cell. h on the bed, quite dead b L A claspknife, like a, smali dirk knife, with a broken handle was sticking in his heart. e had stabbed himself above the fifth rib on the left side.
