DYING CONFESSION

jcui UEORCR LOVETT, tor tllC murder of John Tandy, of Va. My days are numbered nnd my hours are few. My spirit is already winged for flight, and in a little while must 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 verdict. Perhaps it is better for all, that my thirst Tor crime and guilt Ins been so soon extinguished. My course in vice was onward, and had I longer lived, my ambition would have been to ha distinguished; though I had waded elbow deep in blood for the attainment of this end. My career was short, my exploits were few, and the suns of nineteen years alone have tanned me I was not widely known in life, and in death my deeds will soon fade from your memories;

anumougn some may curse, none da ro honor me by one single tear of sympathy. But you who, like myself, 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 wrecked and shattered. I was born in Mason county, Ky. in the year 1815, of respectable and honest parents, and few should be more proud of their origin than myself. My mother's image is ever before me, and if the prayers of ono so steeped in crimes as myself, could avail, I would wear out my very knees in invoking blessings upon her memory. Cut we have parted, and on earth wo meet no more. At an early age I was sent to Judson Woods, a schoolmaster in a neighboring village, and from him and others, received a good English education. I was

lonu oi letters, but they lacked that strong excitement which my enterprising and restless mind required. I have since ever had a respect and veneration for the votaries of science, and would have sooner starved in penury and want, than have robbed men who were spending their lives in such honorable pursuits. 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 beautiful and lovely girl, and her gentle heart won upon me, until my very soul

ki my naiuro came over me; my very brain was maddened; my heart was fired; I hated all; and my

veuguuuee was denounced against the world, fori

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

iiicuiuu. i mu uccn there but a lew times before I meditated the entire destruction of a merchant on Water strcet-(being at that time intimately leaded with a small band called true pluck.) Ilivimr some prejudice against him, myself and fellow comrades set fire to his house and robbed him likewise. The flames spread rapidly, and I regret to say that before they could be extinguished, seven stately buildings were laid in ashes. At that timo I "loned in the ruin I had caused, and as the cracking flames arose on high, I fella glow of triumph when I thought of what deep punishment I could inflict upon those who offended. And so far from thinking that the sufl ercrs should be indignant at my outrage, I thought that they should be grateful that their lives had been spared them. The extent of damage occasioned by this burning must have been immense, but I can form no good idea of the amount, as myself and brother incendiaries immediately after, left the scene of guilt for Louisville. I continued in Louisville for many months, and was daily cngigcd in small thefts and robberies. The band that I found here was more adroit and better deciplined than the one in Cincinnati, and u

here, under the tuition of the masters of the profession, that I became the elegant and accomplished thief and robber. For with all due deference to George Lovett's fame and talents, I must contend that 1 am not far behind him. I had been in Louisville but a few weeks before I formed apian to rob a Mr. Cameron, who lived TUi fUr miIcS in the countr)'- Understanding that he had some seven or eight hundred dollars in Ins house I communicated the fact to J.

proceeded to the house of the above named senileman, 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 ofhis treasure. In all this wc succeeded, but in this exploit I found two of mv comrades had but little nerve, but the other showed such dauntless resolution, that I have since ever taken him nearest to my heart and bosom. Thus much being occomplished, nothing now remained but the division of the spoil; this I had often found from woful experience, to be attended with difficulty as well as villany I now had an old and experienced member of the bludgeon to deal with, and I was not deceived in my anticipations, for out of four hundred and twenty-five dollars I only got a rigg of fifty-five: he into whose hands the plunder had rullen having only given a report of one hundred and ten dollars. The fate of the other two was somewhat worse than mine, as we informed thera that nothing had been found, they did not receive one solitary cent. But this did not satisfy me, for as I believed our friend got more, I determined to watch him narrowly, &, the result was as I had expected. Tracing him to his place of depoBite, I very politely raised the coverings, and for his hard treatment to us, conveyed all his notes bills &c. to my own private purse. After doinrMhis I hastened quickly to his house, and havinglirrived there before he made his appearance, wis never suspected. Sometime afterwards, standing near a steam boat that was about to leave port, I was ap

proached by an old, well dressnd. crnnd lnnklrm

gentleman, who informed me that he was about to leave in the above mentioned steamer; I immediately told him that I was clerk upon her, and we commenced walking towards the outskirts of the town. After wo had walked some distance together, I informed him that I had some money to pay out before we left, and that if he would only be so kind as to lend me a hundred dollars I would return it as soon as we readied the boat. He readily complied; ns he drew out his pocket book I gently took hold of if, pretending to be in a great hurry to settle my accounts and return to the boat. I walked otTina rapid manner as if hunting the store, but the old gentleman trotted after me, not, however, suspecting the fraud I was about to play upon him, his natural love for money alone prompting him to follow me. I struck for the commons; he followed me losing his patience however, at last, and becoming somewhat alarmed for his money, he asked

mo wuai in me name ot Uod 1 meant ? 1 replied that he had lot3 of cash, and that as I was a poor

man l could not spare any thing about me. The boat in the mean timo had raised steam; the old gentleman's family was on board; their passages had all been paid for, they must go, and return he must; big drops of sweat gathered o'er his forehead and ho stood the picture of distress. He first asked for one half of the contents of the poeketbook; secondly for the fourth, and as I responded with a laugh, he begged and implored me to give him twenty dollars to bear his expenses home. And, as this seemed very reasonable, after a few jests at his simplicity, I ?ave him that nmnunt mil rt hia

f tf ZJ - V , ' AH J one hundred and eighty dollars and when last I

saw mm no was running with all his speed to arrive at the boat in time. Soon after this adventure, in one of my nightly rambles, I became acquainted with n 1

wagoner, who stood six feet abovo his shoes. In the courso of conversation, finding that he had money, I accompanied him to his wagon; surveyed his premises and bid him goodnight. Returning however, in the course of the night, I found that he was asleep, with his coat and waistcoat under his head, and his arms around thera. It was easy to imagine where the money was, but to obtain the article without awaking him was difficult. A lucky thought struck me. I immediately took one ofhis wagon ropes, tied his feet to the wheel and jerked the articles from under him he awoke i i"i ...

anu iiKe a mountain tigress, made ono spring at me, but the rope threw him backwards, and with ono shriek he fell prostrate on the ground. Amid the dissipations in which I was engaged, I become passionately fond of gambling, andthe proceeds of a week's theft and robbery were frequently lost upon one turn of furo. In the mean time I paid a visit to New Orleans, and my propensity for crime was somewhat heightened in that metropolis of riot and debauchery. Here I found a numerous and extensive band of swindlers, thieves and robbers; but I did not think that they were so cunning or adroit as those at Louisville. Gambling had somewhat reduced my fortunes, when I arrived at New Orleans, my brother companion and myself having only one dollar between us at that time. Having landed in the night wo immediately marched up in the city, and, accosting a fonnish Innl-; i

gentleman, who was indulging his solitary ramble he seemed highly incensed and offbnded at the liberty we had taken. I humbly begged his pardon, but in the mean timo presented a pistol to his bosom, informed him that a pocket book had int hn

stolen, and as the thief had run in that direction,

wetelt it our duty as city watch, to apprehend him, but finding his poeketbook, wo observed that, as he was a respectable looking gentleman we would only ceep his poeketbook. if lie Wnilli! rrlvo Ilia mnril

style, wo were above snsnirlnn I i,o,.o

quainted with most of the boarders, and well know

ing v.nerc all their money and valuables were, I frequently contrived to let them down from the

windows in me night time to my fellow comrade. He never entered the house, I never recognized him, and he never was suspected; in fact, fdoubt if any ono save myself ever saw him near the hotel. When any thing was lost I was generally the most clamorous against the landlord for his negli. gence, among the first to propose measures to C3?ch tho thief, and I was really thought by all, the pink of honesty. An accident however soon occurred which blasted all my golden dreams, and forced me from the city. Becoming well acquainted with a gentleman from Tennessee, who had floated down with a cargo of produce in a flat boat, and who had been fortunate in bis sales, I determined upon his robbery Learning one evening that ho 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 fate would have it, awaking, ho sprung upon me, and during the struggle that ensued, by the starlight recognfzed me, and with a curse of vengeance pronounced my name. I was desperate. It was essential for my safety that I should leave the city before he informed on me. My arm caught a supernatural strengh and power. I held him with one hand, and seizing a stick with the other, felled him to the floor, stunned and senseless. Enriched by this achievement, six hundred dollars, I started from the city, and travelling on horseback to Natchez, there took a steam boat for Louisville. Compelled to leave New Orleans before I could seo my brother robber, he was left in possession of all our plunder. But I regret tosay, that a division even up to this time has never taken place. I have often heard that there was honesty amon thieves and I have seldom found it so when their interest went against it. Soon after my return to Louisville, I became intimate with some counterfeiters; and bavin" procured a plate and paper, we repaired to Illinois, and about nine miles above Shawneetown, severa thousand one and three dollar notes were struck

od upon iho Bank of Lancaster, Ohio. Th counterfeit was not a very good ono, but as I Ind an extensive acquaintance with those who bought such money, I managed to sell many thousands of t. I lie prices for money of this character are tolerably uniform and regular, and I doubt if they do not vary as little as the prices for the general products of the country. If one engaged in this business were to confino himself to the sale of thia article among the brethren of his profession ho ini"!,t turn it into enormous profit; but should he msl it on h.mself, he will make but little, and the risk of detection is almost certain, particularly if his character be suspicious. Perhaps many gentlemen who live some fivo or six miles in a southern direction from Louisville recollect somo several robberies which were committed in that neighborhood some few months ago. 1 was the depredator, and at my instance and suggestion they were mostly commits! It

cessary to give details of them all here, and I will only give a brief sketch of one. Learning that a tamdy of free negroes who lived some few miles oil, had largo sums of money in their house, we voted they should bo robbed. It was repugnant to my feelings to depredate upon tho poor unfriended negro; but my companions wished it,and I complind with tho irtn rsCi.L c... . '. .

...... 1Uii,v, ui mu lu.tjumy, iur a was my wish to win their love and confidence. However be these things as they may, having journeyed to' the house in tho dead of night, and entered unceremoniously, wo informed them that as a rich store m Louisvillo had missed large sums of money, they wero suspected, and that wo had come with a search warrent, as city officers, to examine eveiy thing about them. After looking over a vast multitude of articles, the money was produced, and we pretended critically to examine to see lfany of it could bo identified. In counting it over, we observed one dollar that was curiously marked, and

w an pruiuaicu uiai uoiiar could be proven to belong to our friends in Louisville. They declared their innocence, yet in their alarm, consented that the money should remain with us until an investigation could be had. Offering a few remarks to them upon the impropriety of theft and the deep disgrace consequent upon it, we mounted our horses for departure. But the foolish and rapid haste of my two companions aroused their suspicions, and wc Ind not gone a hundred yards before they all came in hot pursuit, hallowing theives and robbers! As wc approached a wacon vard which was il flrt

place we had to pass, they followed close behind us, and fearful that their cries might be heard before we could pas3 by, and that we might be ourselves intercepted, we raised the cry of robbery ourselves, and firing our pistols, glided quickly by, venting our curses upon these villainous disturbers of society. The city however was reached in safety, and we have never been suspected. Hundreds of robberies and thefts have been committed by me; almost every night has borne testimony to my villanics; but "it is not neccsssary to enter into tho minutiae and repetition of scenes of a like nature, and as I have but ono more day to live, I must hasten these few pages to a conclusion.

Caldwell and Venoy wero with mo when it was committed, but neither aided or abetted, and are not culpable, but are the only earthly beings who saw it done. I did not murder him for his rr.or.ev. It was in broil and battle that the deed was done. 1 did not intend his death; the blow was more fatal than I wished. So far from wishing for his death, I do solemnly declare that when I left him I did not believe ho would die; and if my dying words do not satisfy the world upon this point, after events will. Upon the evening of Tandy's murder he nnd myself fought at the eastern tnd of the city. The quarrel was then partially made up, and l" thought all was over; but continuing together until wo had reached tho western extremity of tho town, some angry words arose, and the lie having passed between us, I seized a rock, approached him with it in my hand, gavo him two strokes, as described in the indictment, and left him siaorrerin". iJusisatrue statement of the matter, nnd if Venoy or Caldwell ever speak upon it, they must confirm what is here stated.

I hope my peace is made with God, and I would not cherish one unfriendly feeling to any one that breathes. Yet this trial and this" execution may teach jurors how cautiously and with what doubt and circumspection they should receive the testimony of witnesses whoso c haracters are base and infamous. When woman is lost to every sense of female delicacy, she is not apt to stop at perjury. For her it has no terrors, and if she is injured, sho cares not what may be tho consequence of her crime and falsehood. Farewell Learn from my fate to avoid villany, and you will not bring disgrace or suffering upon yourselves or others. Had I been honest, these things had never happened; had those women been truthful, time might have developed all in its true colors, and the murdered Lovett might have longer lived. Two murders I

They appeared in the street at the distance i f a hundred yards opait, and each, considering it the duly of the othor to attack, acted on the defensive. They were both well arme d, and though public expectation was on tiptoe, it was disappointed no attack was mad i by cither.

I wish the proper owner had it; but I imagine that it is beyond my power now to put it in his possession. I know not when I was more distressed than when I was in the above city. My bosom friend, the partner of my dangers, my toils and robberies was apprehended. I was forced to leave nnd send some friends from Louisville to swear him clear. I did not think I had so much feelini? left: I thought

crime had murdered them, but I mourned his absence like a mother would her fondling innocent. He was brave: he loved me and was mv fiiond. i

rived at .Louisville, he actually stole the money from his own sister to discharge the debt. And here I may challenge the records of history to show where a hero has gone greater lengths to fulfil his premise; An old gentleman in Knox county, Ky. may possibly recollect some men who pretended to call to see him for the purpose of selling negroes; and doubtless he may recollect what fair traders they were, when his communicative tongue announced the secret place where his money was deposited.

I come now to the crime for which Lovett and myself have to suffer death, and as my heart is harrowed by its recollection, I will only dwell upon it for a moment. Lovett is innocent.
