Sprague, Esq. who kindly prepared for us the fol lowing Report of tins interesting trial, after the adjournment of the court at 11 o'clock last night—we are enabled to present it thus promptly to our readers : Yesterday morning at 9 o'clock, a Ju ry w as empannellcd for the trial o( Gor ham Parsons, jr. a lad of IG, for the mur der of Ebenceer Davis, 3d, a lad ol 12 year*.—No witnesses were produced exccqit on the partofthe government. Rliuda Abbot testified, that on the 16th of May last, she was going (o Squam hill, at 3 o’clock, P. M. and saw Gorham Par sons coiniug out of Pardon path, with an axe in his hand. IIu said lie hud been ever since 2 o’clock, and could not gut a burthen of wood, and said, do you ex pect to get any to night ? She told him yes. She and Betsey Rowe went up to the swamp, and got there iu about half an hour, and he came up. Betsey Kotve said to him, how you scared uic. He laughed, and they went out of the swamp. They saw us they went out Ebenezer Davis on the hill. He asked if she was there ; Betsey laid yes ; they went into the swamp again, ami Ebenezer asked il we would slop while lie got a burthen. They said yes, if you make haste. Then Gorham asked him why he did not go into the swamp and get hi* burthen.— Ebenezer laughed. F.benezer asked Gorham to cut liinA down a tree—said be would, if lie would not tell of it. He then asked Gorham why he did not cut that tree just before him. He said he hud rather go into the swamp. He and Ebenezer went in. She nod Betsey then went upon the little hill and sat down. Ebenezer hallooed and asked us to stop for him. Wo said we Would.—- Soon after, we heard somebody screech in the bushes ; it was Ebenezer by the voice ; he hidloocd and said, O Gotham! Gorham ! We heard a rushing before the voice ; we then saw Gorham come right out from the bushes with an axe in bis hand, the axe bloody. Gorham came towards us and stopped. Ebenezer fui- lotted out directly after hiqi, and asked us to lake hold of his hand, for he was so faint lie could not stand. She took hold of his elbow, one hand above and one below ; he sat down, and (he asked Goriuun two or three limes to take him up. Gorham then threw down his axe and look him up, and carried him along ; they followed on behind. When he got to Pardon path, he laid him down und told u* lie was dead. We run hocuc— Nothing was said by Gorham to Ebene zer after they came out of the «wamp. Gorham offered him no assistance until they requested him. Gorham and Ebe- nezer were in the swamp together ten minutes. They heard no conversation between them whilst there—no expres- giou—Got ham did not appear distressed. Heard no voices talking before the screaming: did not hear them cut down the tree ; she could not see them in the swamp. Betsey Rowe fully agreed in testimony with last witness, and added—They nev er asked Gorham or Ebenezer any ques tions, they were so much frightened af ter he ciitm out ; Gorham looked wild, and tears run out of his eyes. Rev. Mr. Jeuctl was passing near Squum hill, and met children running in apparent distress ; he asked what was the matter ; they told him E. Davis was wounded, and probably dying ; lie saw Davis ascend the lull with a quick step, and hastened after him, hut before lie arrived Davis was laying down in the grass. As soon as he came up, Mr. D. proposed sending for a physician ; he felt of him, and said it was useless, for he was dead. He asked, who did it ?— Gorham Parsons laid, 1 did it, or 1 cut him. 1 then asked him how ?

They then asked h<tn how he came to cut him ; he said, he attempted to cut off a limb. They ask* cd him to shew them tbe limb—lie point ed ton place where a little dry twig laying about rs bigas a pipe stem. Mr. Jewett then said, you never struck a blow to iiiihct such a wound to cut off such n twig ; he then did uot pretend he did. They then asked him to slioir thorn the limb he was attempting to cut; he looked around and appeared at a loss. Mr. J.tiien asked him if the true was • n the child’s back, when he said he did not knot*. Mr. J. then asked whether the tree was lying on the gtound, he repli ed again he did not knew. He then ask ed him if Davis was standing when he struck; he said he did not know. Ho asked him if the child was storq ing downy lie answered again he did not k.uow.—- They asked Imn to stand as he stood when he struck the child, lie took hia stand, and Mr. J. bent hims^tfdow n with (lie tree on his shoulder, ami said this is the only position in which these two wounds could have been inflict-' ! nt one blow ; lie said lie believed il iv-i.-i so. He asked, did (lie helve of the axe fly up when you struck ! He said it did uot. They then examined tlie tree lo *ee if there were any marks of the axe on it ; they could Grid none except whete it was cut down ; they could finj uo blood the tree ; 13 feet beyond the tree, where lie said the child stood, and where* he struck at the limb, was a great quanti ty of blood on the ground. They observed lo each other Hint it was mysterious, and they asked Gerdau* whether Eben hail his hat on when lie. struck him ; he said he had. The hat' lay there, and we examined it and could find no mark on it. There was a wound on (lie top of (he right arm, an inch tint) a half long and a quarter of an inch widft, cut through hi* clothes, another on the rigid shoulder, n bruse on the left should er, another on the back of the right shoulder, beyond- the wound, a scratch on the left side of tbe head, below th« wound on the jaw. Mr. J. put on Mr. Knowlton’s bcottf and went into the swamp. Mr. Davis asked Gorham to allow where the ,txa struck the tree, ite pointed to a place where the bark had I/een peeled a week or fortnight before by a sharp in* sirument, not an axe. The blood, IS feet from the tree, covered n .space nt big au the head of a barrel, and^j|j£Jm*bs c» were stained considerable w,iv *lp.»r-( When he first saw Gorham, he was si*l or eight feet distance, leaning against i fence, some tears in his eyes ; after the( set out, little or no emotion, and but lit* tie sensibility when in the wood. TI next day he again asked him if the a: did not fly up He said no, but it mil twist a little. W hen, Mr. J. went, expected tbe tree was only. partly c down ; saw nothing that made it uec'ei sary to cut off' a limb of the tree. Goi 1mm discovered no aversion to go inti the woods. When asked why they cai ried the tree into the swamp, he sai Ebeu had part of his burthen there ai they were carryinig it to it. Tin found his burthen as described, and purt of a scythe, with which Eben u*^ lo cut up his wood. The tree was whi maple, three inches at tbe butt.
