grunted that the murdurs had been com
mitted upon the dark road In the swamp.
I waa now convinced that the dead body
I had just left had beer, borne to its present
place of rest from the shore of the oroek.
And wbat was here beyond that? How
came it upon the shore of the creek? We
shall presently see.
1 left the proper officer to take ohar(e of
the corpse, and bavin* told Mr. WaUon
to moot me in Jackson on tho following
morning, I started for tho latter place and
put up my horse at the stable of the inn—
the inn kept by Laman Stoker. I found
the hostlor; and shuddered when I looked
at him—not because he was a very ugly
looking man, but becauso he looked to me
exactly tit to help his master do bloody
work. He was a thin, pale, cold-blooded
fellow, with a low, recoding brow ; sharp,
cold eyes; a small triangular nose, and a
thick heavy uppor lip. If lie had been a
larger man those characteristic features
would have been more prominent, and
people might have feared him ; but, as it
was, he passed for a weakly unhealthy
man, aWd nobody had thought of his doing
harm.
Tbo landlord had not yet returned, and
while the hostler—his name was John
Bonne— was removing my saddle from my
best, I spoke of tho murder in tho swamp.
Thu leilow had heard all about it but hsd
not 4>uen down lowo tho body. Hi. mat
ter had gone, and he had remained be
hind. He spoke trecly and unconcernedly
—in fact loo much so. It would have
been natural for him to have exhibited
aorno little feeling, and the fact that he
did not do so, led me to conclude that he
had schooled himself to act his part.
After I seen my horse taken care of, I
walked out behind tho inn, upon tbo brow
of a point of table laud, and a short dis
tance beyond I saw the bend of the creok.
Toward the creek I made my way, and
when within a few rods of the water, I
stopped. I saw something on the grass—
a dark, red clot, hanging upon a stout
blade, and bending it down, I stood, took
it upon my fingers, and found it to be
blood.
I pushed on to tho shoro of the stream,
but there wore no fresh footprints thero.
I went back a littlo way, and found that
tbo trail turned to tho left, and led to a
point of thu swamp which made up be.
bind the bluff on which the village stood.
I made my way into tho thicket ol vines
and cotton wool, and presently I found a
boat drawn up upon tlio shore of the
creok. It was of a kind culled a "dug
out," and was wet outside and in as
though it had boen lately washed off.
Perhaps you can tmag ne that I was be
ginning to be excited in my search. The
blood had been washed down and rinsed;
but tho fatal murk had not been oblitera
ted. The water that gathered in the bot
tom, standing in little pools, bad a crim
son tinge, and thorn were one or two
dark spots which had not been washed
off.
So far as niv own mind was concerned,
I had no doubt. Binco 1 first entertained
an opinion of the criminality of Stoker,
everything had turned out just as I had
looked for it; and, when 1 had left the
boat, 1 bad about come to the conclusion
to make my nextmovemont in my official
capacity. When I had reached tbo inn,
Stoker had returned, and dinnor was al
most ready. The host oyed mo sharply,
but I kept my countenance. It did me
good to have him oyo mo in that manner,
for I know that he feared mo. Did I not
know why very well? Id short, every
event from that time forth, gavo weight to
tho testimony I had already collected.
After dinner Stoker askod how long I
intended to slop with him. 1 intoudod to
stop over night, and meet Watson in the
morning; hut my plan was changed.
The wretch Bliowod me more plainly than
before that lie mistrusted me, nnd I feared
that something might turn up to injuro
iny cause if 1 delayed too long. So I told
him I was not going to stop at all—1 had
u long road to travel, nnd 1 was in a hur
ry, Whether he was pleased with this or
not, I could not determine. I paid for
dinner for myself and horse, and got
away as quickly as possible,and redo post
haste to Huntsville.
Watson opened his eyes with astonish
ment when 1 told him what 1 had discov
ered ; but be did not oppose my belief.
The whole, as 1 opened it to him in regu-
lar sequence, struck directly to his under
standing; Hnd he only wondered that he
had not thought of something of that
kind before. He was ready to act with
me, and our plans wero soon laid. He
went out and engaged three stout men to
accompany us, two of whom wore con
stables, and after tea the whole parly set
forth on our wav to Jackson.
We reached the inn a little after dark.
WaUon and one of the constables wont to
tho stable and scoured John Boone, while
I wont into the house and nrrestea Laman
Stoker. Tho latter, as I intimated, was a
r iowerful fellow, and came very near giv.
ng us troublo; but a blow from the butt
end of ray heavy pistols reduced his
strength somewhat, and after lliut ha was
easily secured.
Then we commenced to soarch the
house. 'Wo bunted high and low, and had
plonly of interested people to help us.
l’arlition walls were torn down and Boors
ripped up. We fouad the property of the
murdered man in a secret locker; and in
a tank of water, away in one corner of
tho cellar, we found a lot of bloody bed
clothes. We had evidence enough; and
tho prisoners were carried to the county
jail that very night.
On ihe next ilny John Boone was dy
ing. He had been sick with consumption
lor a long time, and during his struggle
with Waleou the night bofore,his strength
had complotely failed him. When he
knew he could not live, he declared that
he would make a clean breast of It. I
am inclined to think, however, that he
hoped his confession might benefit him in
case he should by any possible means re
cover.
This confession was just what I ex
ported. Hu and Laman Stoker had com
mitted the murders—had done lha killing
in the house, and then conveyod thu bod
ies, by way of the crock, to the road in
the swamp, and when thu murdered men
bad horsos they bed boen taken out of
the stable tbo hack way, saddled and bri
dled. and turned loose in the road. ( The
whole plan bad been adroitly contrived,
and for too long had been sueeessfully
John Boone died within three hours

Henry Orinnell, Hsq., has receivod a
letter which Mr. Hell wrote to Uaplain
Cbepol to be forwarded to Mr. Griqnoll,
from which we are permitted {o extract:
Winter Quartzes, in Ioloo, )
Noo-Wook West End Rowe’s Wolcomo, >
Let. 61:46 N., Lon. 87:20 W. j
Dear Friend Chapel: In this letter I
have some deeply interesting intelligence
to communicate to you. Since falling in
with the natives I have not been Idle.
Nothing in Perry’s narrative of second
voyego for the dlsoovery of Northwest
passage relating to the Esquimaux of
Winter island and Iglookh, but these
natives are perfectly posted up. Indeed,
I find through my superior interpreter,
1’oo ko-on-too, that manly deeply inter
esting incidents occurred at both named
pieces that never found their place in
Parry's or Lyon’s works. But the great
work already done by me is gaining Tittle
by little of these natives through Too-ko*
on- too and K-bier-buug rotating to Sir
John Franklin’a expedition. This, you
know, was lha-great object of my mission
to tho Forth, I cannot stop to tell you
now all 1 have gained of this people—no,
not the one-hundredth part—most of it
relating to Franklln’i expedition.
[The nalirea are now loading sledge; it
is 7:80 o’clock a. in.)
I will givo you very briefly what the
people of England and America will be
most interested to learn. When I come
down I shall bring my dispatches and
journals up to the time of writing you.
These will be committed to your care for
transmitting to the States.
The most important matter that I have
acquired Joletee to the feet that thero yet
may be threo survivors of Sir John
Frnuklin'e expedition, and oue of these—
Oroxior—the ono who succeeded Sir John
Franklin on bis death. Tho details aro
deeply Interesting, but thU must suffice
till I come down. Crozier and three men
who wore with him were found by a cousin
of Ou-e-la (Albert), Sboo-sbe-elk-nuni
(John), and Ar-noo-a (Frank), wliilo
moving on the ioe from one igloo to
another, this cousin bating with him his
family end engaged in soaling. This oc
curred near Bontha Felix peninsula. 0ro
sier was nothing but skin and bones, and
nearly starved to doath, while tbo threo
men with him were fat. The cousin soon
learned that the three fat men had been
living on human flesh—the flesh of their
companions—who all deserted tho two
ships that wero fast in mountains of ice,
while Orozier was the only man llmt would
not oat human flesh, and for this reason
he was almost starved to death. This
cousin took Crozlor and the threo men at
once in charge. He soon caught a seal,
and gave Crozier quickly a littlo, a vor.v
little piece, which was raw—only a single
mouthful the first day. The cousin aid
not givo the three fat men anything, for
they could well get along, till Crozior't
life was safe. The next day the cousin
gave Urozier a little larger piece of seal.
By the judicious caro of this cousin for
Crozier his lifo was saved. Indeed, Cro-
zier's own judgment stuck to him in this
terrible situation, for he agroed with tb;
cousin that one little bit was all that lit
should have the first day. When the
cousin first saw Ctozlur'a face, it looked so
bad—his eyes all sunk in, and the face so
skeleton like and haggard, that the cousin
did not care to look upon his face for sev
eral days after, it mado biin fuel eo bud.
This noble oouoin, whom the whole civil-
izod world wilf ever remombor for his
humanity, took care of Crozier and his
three men, save one who diod, through
the whole winter. This man died a short
time after the cousin found them—not of
starvation, however, but beoauee he was
sick.
Id the spring, Crozier and the remain
ing two men accompanied tiiis cousin on
the Bontba Folix peninsula to Netohille,
where tbera many Innuits. Crozier and
each of his men had guns and a plenty of
ammunition, and many pretty things.
They killedagreasmany duckr, nowyens,
Ac., with their guns. Here they lived
with the Innuits at Natchille, and Crozier
became fat and of good health. Crozfor
told this cousin that he was once at Re
pulse bay, at Winter island and Iglookh
many years before, and that at the two
last named places he saw many Innuits
and got well acquainted with them. This
cousin had heard of Fairy, Lyon and
Croxier, through bis Innuit friends at Re
pulse bsy, some years previous, and there
fore when Croaier gave him his name ho
recollected it. He saw Crozier one year
before he found him and the three men,
where tba two ships were in the ice. It
was there that he found out that Crozier
had been to Iglookh.
Crozier and the two men lived with the
Netchille Innuits sometime. Tboy liked
him very muoh, and troated him always
very kindly. At length Crozier, with bis
two men, and ono Innuit, who took along
an Indiarubher boat—as E-hior-buag was
inclined to think it was, for all along the
ribs there was something that could be
filled with air—loft Natchille to try to go
to the Kob-lu-nas country, taking a south
course.
When Ou-e-la (Albert) and his bro
thers, in 1864, saw this cousin that bad
been so good to Crozier and his men, at
Pally bay (which is not far from Netch-
tllo), the cousin had »ot beard whether
Croxier, his two men, and tho Natchille
innuit bad over ceme back or not. The
Innuita never think they era dead—do not
believe they are. Crrozier offered to give
hie gun to the cousin for saving bis life,
but the cousin would not accept it, for he
was afraid it would kill him, It mado such
a great noise, and killed everything with
nothing. Then Crozier gave him a long,
curious knife (sword, as E-bier-hung and
Too-ko-lo no say it was) and many pretty
things besides.
[Toe dogs aro all in harness, and tho
sledges loaded, and Innuita waiting for
my letters. I promise them 1 will ba
ready in thirty minutes.)
Crozier told the cousin of a fight he had
with a band of Indians—not Innuits, but
Indians. This must havo. occurred near
tho entrance of Great Fish or Baca's
river. Mora of this when 1 sea you. * *
God bless you!
