JONES' CONFESSION.

DYING CONFESSION.

Of Mien vbl Jones', who mas hanged on first of

narder of John Tandy ofVa. . .

Mr davs are numbered and mv hours are

few. Mv spirit is already winced for flight,

and in a little while mast hear its doom before

the bar of God. I feel that I must die-all

hope of escape has fled; yet I will not murmur at my country's laws, or at my country's ver

dict, perhaps it is better for all, that my thirst for crime and guilt has been so soon extinguished. My course in vice was onward, nd had I longer lived, mv ambition would

ceived in my anticipations, for out of four hun

dred and twenty-hve dollars l only goi a rigg of fifty-five: he into whose hands the plunder

had fallen having only given a report ol one hundred and ten dollars. The fate of the

other two was somewhat worse than mine, as

we informed them that nothing had been found, thev did not receive one solitary cent.

Rut this did not satisfy me. for as I believed

our friend grot more, I determined to watch

him narrowly, & the result was as 1 had ex

pected. 1 racing him to his place of depo

ite, I very politely raised the coverings, an

blasted all my golden dreams, and forced me

from the city. Becomms well acauainted

with a gentleman from Tennessee, who had floated down with a cargo of produce in a flat

. a t a

boat, and who had been fortunate in his sales, determined upon his robbery. Learning one evening that he would spend the night alone upon his boat, I approached it about the

middle of the night, and having pocketed his

money was about to make away with it; but as fite wcTuld have it, awaking, he sprung upon

me, and during the strule that ensued, 'by

the starlight recognized me, and with

have been to be distinguished; though I had

waded elbow deep in blood for the attainment

of this end. My career was short, my einloits were few, and the suns of nineteen

vears alone have tanned me I was not widely known in life, and in death my deeds will

soon fade from your memories: and though

some may curse, none dare honor me by one single tear of sympathy. But -ou who, like

mvself. are young and in the first bloom of

life, attend to what I here relate, and learn

from my unhappy -fate, the death of infamy

to avoid those rocks upon which I was wreck-

ed and shattered.

T was born in Mason county. Kv. in the

year 1815, of respectable and honest parents,

and few should be more proud of their origin

than mysplf. My mother's image is ever be

fore me, and if the prayers ofone so steeped

in crimes as myself, could avail, I would wear

out my very knees in invoking blessings upon her memory. But we have parted, and on

earth we meet no more. At an early age

was sent to Judson Woods, a schoolmaster in

a neighboring village, and from him and oth

ers, received a good L.nglish education.

was fond of letters, but they lacked that strong

excitement which my enterprising and rest

less mindlrequired. I have since ever had a

respect and veneration for the votaries of sci ence, and would have sooner starved in penu

ry and want, than have robbed men who were

spending their lives m such honorable pur

suits.

Nothing of high interest transpired during

my school-boy days, and my time was mostly

passed in those amusements which generally engage the attention of students. At the age

of sixteen I became enamored of a beautifu

and lovely girl, and her gentle heart won up

on me, until my very soul was melted into ten

derness. She was the burthen of my dreams

by day and by night; her image forever haunt

ed me; she was the soul and substance ot all

my thoughts. I loved her with a devotion pure and unsullied. "My love was pure as the wing of a seraphim." I revealed it, but she loved me not. Strange to say she hated and despised me. 'Twas then that all the fiery and develish feeling of my nature came over me; my very brain was maddened; my heart was fired; I hated all, and my vengeance was denounced against the world, for I conceived that all thought as herself. I had read some romances, and the dangers and perils of a robber's life had enchantments for me. My life had been embittered and my heart cried out for revenge my resolution was taken and my determination fixed. Cincinnati was the theatre of my first exploits; it was there my career of crime first commeced. I had beenlthere but a few times before

I mediatea tne enure aestruction ot a mer

chant on Water street (being at that time intimately leagued with a small band called

true pluck.) Having some prejudice against him, myself and fellow comrades set fire to his house and robbed him likewise. The

flames spread rpidly, and I regret to say that before they could be extinguished, seven state

ly buildings were laid in ashes. At that lime

I gloried in the ruin I had caused, and as the

cracking flames arose on high, I felt a glow of

tnumpn wnen i tnougnt oi wnat deep pun ishment I could inflict upon those who offend

ed. And so far from thinking that the sufferers

should be indignant at my outrage, I thought that they should be grateful that their lives

had been spared them. The extent of dam

age occasioned by this burning mu;t hav

been immense, but I can form no good idea of the amount, as myself and brother incen

diaries immediately after, left the scene of

guilt for Louisville. I continued in Louisville for many months, and was daily engaged in

mali thefts and robberies. The band that I

found here was more adroit and better decip 1: J 1 xl - .. ... r

juicu iii.iii iu; u.ie in incmnati, and it was here, under the tuition of the masters of the

prolession, that I become the elegant and

accomplished finer and roober. For with all due deference to George Lovett's fame and talents, I must contend that I am not far behind him. 1 had been in Louisville but a few weeks before I formed a plan to rob a Mr. Cameron, who lived about four miles in the country. Understanding that he had some seven or eight hundred dollars in his house I communicated the fact to T. V p. C and O. R . , nnd we forth-with proceeded to the house of the above named gentle, man, with a determination to have his money, whatever might be the consequence, J. V. and myself were to go into the house at the hour of 10, and stand over the old patriarch of the mansion, while my brother gentlemen of the road put themselves in possession of his treasure. In all this we succeeded, but in this exploit I found two of my comrades had but little nerve, but the other showed such daunt-

ess resolution, that I have since ever taken lum nearest to my heart and bosom. Thus mamed but the dm'sion 0f the spoilftlm I had 2SJ!!Sfi Tful "Perience, to be atit 7 .f' ell as villany. I Si M a? ld !5Dd, eiPerid member of VU? bludgeon to deal with, and I was not de-

cent. He was brave; he loved me and was1

my friend. But alas! he too in my afflictions

has deserted me. -Yet 1 cannot close this

ittle history without alluding to one fact

which may portray his highland delicate

sense of honor. Pledging his faith to his Cin

cinnati lawyers that they should be paid for services rendered, so soon as. he was discharg

ed and arrived at Louisville, he actually stole

the money from his own sister to discharge

the debt. And here 1 may challenge the

records of history to show where a heFO has

gone greater lengths to fulfil his promise. An old gentleman in Knox county, Ky

may possibly recollect some men who pretended to call to see him for the purpose of sell

ing negroes; and doubtless he may recollect

what fair traders they were, when his com-

He never entered the house, I never recognised him, and he never was suspected; in fact, I doubt if any one save myself ever saw him near the hotel.

To avoid detection I buried it that evening above Mill creek, and it lies there now, unless a gentleman to whom I told it a few days since has recovered it.
