A tiORRID MURDER!
ON the night cf Friday the
19th inst. a horrid murder was
committed in the house of Samu
el AT. Mayo, ol this place on the
bodv of David Whittemore, a
native of .the town of Thompson,
countv of Windham Connecti*
cut, and who resided some vears
in this s'afe, as a trader and mer
chant. The zeal 4tta'anxiety ex
hibited bv the public officers and
citizens in general, on this occa
sion, do great honor to their feel
ings ; They h ive been extremely
active in detecting the authors of
this atrocious deed ; anil iortu
nate'iv for the cause of justice,
seem to have succeeded, ns will
appear from the free and volunta
ry confession of Win. Love, late
of Burk county, one of the actors
in this bloody tragedy—on the
day after the tnorder had been
committed, having 11 -cl and cros
sed the river at the Sand Bar, he
was close'v pursued, Overtaken
and brought back, when he made
the following declaration in sub
stance before squire 1) Aniignac,
justice of the pe ace whose exer
tions on the occasion arc highly
commendable, and entitled to in®
thanks of the com muni tv.
“ The Deponent saith, that on
Monday the T sdr inst. be came
to Samuel Mayors house; and
on th r * Wednesday night follow
in gat a late hour, when he was
returning fiom a card parly and
ihe billiard table, to said Mayo’s
he saw a light in Whttfamore’s
store, in the satne street ; that
this excited his surprise and went
up sta’rS where he found Whitte
morcin bed ;that soon after he
saw Mavo come in with two
Cheeses, and afterwards with a
large bundle, which he thinks
was Sugar, from Whitternore’s
store. That on Thursday Mayo
crossed the river to Carolina, and
returned on the afternoon of the
next dav ; that his wife, some
time after his arrival, and in the
picsence of the depettu-tit, said to
him “ My Dear you know that all
the stiver which Whit emore
had, he has given to me to lake
care o’; but I should he very
glad you could get his paper mo
ney also, which must be upwards
of 1000 dollars.”
“ That on the same night
when Deponent was going to
bed, Mayo said to him ; Love do
not sleep in the same bed vrnere
vou slept before, as I shall carry
that bed into my room and sleep
with V/hittemore —That before
the Deponent went to bed, Mayo
told him there was money to ire
made ; Deponent answered, he
■would be very glad >o make m mey
provided he could be sale —Mayo
replied, that money could be
made, and a good deal ; anil all
be concealer! —then Deponent
went to bed—that on Saturday
morning, about two hours before
day, Mavo came to his bed side,
shook and aWoke him, told hnn
to get up and come along with
him, which he accordingly did ;
that as soon as he came into the
roo-n where Whittemore was
in bed, Mayo told him that if
he did not what they should want
him to do that by God he should
be pat to death ! that ‘here was
another man, who went under the
name of King, standing by VVhit
temore’s head ; he bad a re I
handkerchief on his face wit i
boles for his eyes and mouth ; Sc
savs he could identify tr| e man,
if he saw him again.— lhe De
ponent answered to Mavo s
threat, that being there, he con*
sidcrcd himself as g r eat a crimi
nal as they, and that he would do
whatever should be required of
him—then Mayo said ; you shall
have an equal part of the money.
who stood at the bed’s feet, tuck
up a piece of a bar of iron, which
lav by the r ed post, and struck
Whittemore on the h: ad with ‘he
-feme, which bl*w seemed to kill
him—the light was then put out Sc,
the dead body huddled up—Depo
nent mentions that previous to
this catastrophe, and abort tea
time, Mayo came into the house
below, bringing ift his hand a phi
al with a considerable quantity oi
Laudanum in it, ad >sc of which
in presence of his wife, he pour
ed into a cup adding tea to it, and
carried or sent tt up stairs (we cio
not recollect which the deponent
declares) to Whittemore, then
sick in btd.
That after the body had been
wrapt up, tied round the knees
and under the arms with ropes,
they took it to rhe next room and
drept it into the street, atl three
holding the rope to slip him
down.
That they then took the body
by Mayo’s yard across the fence,
ro the hfok, where having lied
some cert.* n weight to ii, they
threw it into ‘he river and soon
after sunk 1 ’1 hat after rhe whole
was over, they returned to the
house. Ala. o went up stalls and
washed the room himself of the
blood (stains of blond by the bye,
re vet to be seen on the floor of
toe room, in which Whittemore,
slept)—Deponent further saith,
that on Satin day morning, be
heard iVlayo say to his wife, “ he
is in ‘he river, now look out ?” &
that she said ; “ very well!”
That before break fact she asked
Deponent to go and buy her a
chisel, and that, he went, and b'r
iowed one, and brought it to her
—That about VI o’clock in the
dav, Mrs. Mayo gave him 46
Collars, in silver, and desired him
to be off, because, added she, you
know how it was, so that you had
better go away; giving him then
Whittemore’s Watch, observing,
she did not want it —And further
Deponent saith not. ( I his
Watch he dropt, when pursued
in Carolina, and is since found.)
