(_‘.ONI"ESSlON OF THE MAIL ROBBERS,
RECENTLY AlPPltEl-IENDED .n‘- isA‘L'rmortn.
The examination and confession of Peregrine
fiuttomtaken before me,'l‘heoderick Bland, judge
of the District court in and for the ‘Maryland dis-
trict, this ‘.43th day of March, 1820, after being
cautioned tbat his acknowledgments and confess-
ions must be free and voluntary, without either
hope or fear, saith, -That he is in his 23th year,
is a native of Delaware, and was raised in Mary-
land ; that he has been heretofore employed as a
stage driver between York and Baltimore, trntil
August last. [He here mentions the different
places he went to since that time for the purpose
ofobtaitring employment. until he arrives at New-
York. where he is introduced to Hull, who rep-
resents himself as a Dtuggist, and wished to go
to the Southward.] \Vhen they left New—York,
Hutton permitted I-lull to put his clothes into his
trunk, and when the trunk arrivt°.d in Baltimore,
he found that Hull had a key which fitted his
(Hurton’s)trunk lock: on the road from New-
York. Hull proposed to stop and rub the mail,
wberev-..-r it might bemost convenient; that he
had arms and ammunition, and thought it could
be done uizlmttt any danger; but, at that time,
no plan or 'cll'i'2.lD_L‘_‘€.fll6llt was digested or made,
:.nd it \\ as occasionally talked of until they arri-
vcd at Baltimore. This day fortnight they arri-
vedin ilaltinrore, and commenced boarding at
.\‘.l.r. Kcck’s.. when the following plan was digest-
ed: It was agreed that, as Hutton was known, he
should wear a mask. made of an old soft leather
cap, no other person to be concerted or letiinto
the secret; and nothing further should be done
tltmr to rob the mail of the money found therein ;
tlt-at I-lull should also wear a mask, which was
l’i‘-{Kit also of the old cap, one side of which was
hairy; that they had a conrmon screw barrel pock-
ct pistol, with the guard -broke oil‘ from behind
the cock. Hull had a stout knife, the blade of
which was abotrl three or four inches long, com-
monly called a Spanish knife ; Hutton had a com-
mon two bladed penknife, they had each a stout
walking stick ; but they had no other arms of any
ciesct-iptiorr. Thus equipped, Hull and Hutton
ltl! the city of B-.tltii‘.torc early in the afternoon,
on the .“-a'.ttr‘tlay after they arrived in this city, on
the Pltilatlelplria road, with an intention to stop
and rob the mail; artcl for that purpose, placed
tlzatnsclves in the first wood beyond the new
br‘id,u_-e on the big falls ofGunpowder, and when
t? e mail tvztggon passed, there being a passenger
,in it with the driver, nothing was attempted;
they immediately r't-turned, arid reached Balti-
‘rrtme a little after day light.
(Ill Fritlay last, after supper, about 8 o’clock,
they, iltlll and Hutton, again left Baltimore, and
treat ot.t as before on the l’llll8(lt.'lplli‘.t road, with
tl"-.t-..desi;,rn to meet, slop, and rub the mail, and

.‘r.i-_, city, lllcy took their 5-ztand in the woods,
liurron threw into one branch of the road two or
rbr. e bushes. where they awaited the arrival of
the mail ; neither of them were dressed as they
are now, or when they left Baltimore, from the
"shirt out—-their clothes having been changed
some distance from town, where they were left on
the llrbl sally : when the mail rvaggon came up,
tllt.‘ tltirer saw them by the mnoir-liglrt, and said
'- tsllat does this mean.’ llu‘.ton said, ‘it is not
you we \|iSll to lturt; we only want the cements
of the mail.’ Hull ltztvirrg seized the horse by
the bridle, l-ltttton said to the Driver,‘ follow that
man.’ He accordingly drove out into the woods,
and got off the box; Hutton took one of the reins
and tied the tlriver by cite arm to a sapling, and
Hall titd him by the other arm to another sap-
ling. about tut feet from the other; Hull and
litrttor: then took out the mail bags, having first
given Hull the pistol ; they then opened the mail
lrags, and took all tl-re money they could find, all
of which has since been found on Hull and in
tl1t.ll'll'tit‘.l—'. and at Kecks, and some of it on Hut-
t_(_)n_ VVl,lle they were pillaging the mail by
moon-light, for they had no lire-liglrt. Hutton told
Hull 1-,6 lma better urrhatness the horses, to be
ready for a retreat in case ofan alarm. After
they had finished the collcctionoftbe money.Hut-
ton requested Hull to untie the driver ; Hull re-
plied that he would know them; Hutton said
they were sufiicicntly ('risgt:isscd. and he could not
know them. l‘lt=ll went and came back from the
driver, and repeated the same thing. Hutton a-
gain desired they might be untied. Hull return-
ed to the driver, and when Hutton was about 50
yards off, he heard the pistol go off, and Hull re-
turned and said the driver had kicked him while
he was untying him, and he had shot him. Hull
again returned to the driver, on Hutton’:s asking
ll‘ he was dead, to see if he was actually dead,
and soonjoined him again, saying that his pulse
beat regularly, and that he was not then dead.--
Hutton told Hull, it was a i)l.'.Il thing. and ought
not to have beenidone. Hull said it was better
so than otherwise, as he would ha-.ve been sure to
have recognized them by their sizes, if nothing
else ; they then mounted the, horses and rode off
towards Baltimore along the main road, and left
the horses in the woods this side the Herring run,
thence they walked into the city", and br'eakl'astctl
together at Hecks, where they remained till Sat-
ttrday evening, when they went out together and
were apprehended in Gay street.
They looked over the money in the afternoon,
at Kecks, but did not count it or make a division,
‘ but supposed there might be about 2.500 to 3,000
clollars, ,They changed their clothes in which
they committed the robbery, tied a stone to them
and threw them all into Jones’ Falls. _ .

The examination and confession of Morris Nor-
ton Batrtholomew Hull, taken before me Theodo-
ric Bland,.Iudge ofthe District Court in and for
the District of Maryland, on this 2_8th day of
March, 1820. After being cautioned that his ac-
knowledgments and confessions must be made
without hope or fear, and perfectly voluntary, and
free, the said I-I_u_ll saith-—-Tlrat he was born in
New-ljlartford, (N. Y.) that he is now 20 years of
age. and that he studied physio, and was princi-
pally r'aisr:(l to the business of a Druggist, in the
store of his father, in Utica, N. Y.: that he was
sometime out ofemploy in N. York, where, five
weeks since,he became acquainted with Peregrine
Hutton ; about a forrnigltt after they became ac-
quainted, they started for Baltimore together;
Hutton complained that he was out of money,and
proposed to come to Baltimore, where he could
lay his band on as much as he wanted immedi-
ately; he did not say how it was to be got, but
expressed great confidence in getting it. Hull
borrowed 25 dollars, with which he bore his own
and Htrtton’s expenses-——-rlrcy travelled from New
York to Philadelphia in the mail stage, thence to
VVilmington in the steam boat; thence to New-
port in the stage. Hull left his trunk under a pre-
tence that it was I-lutton’s, itr New-York, at Capt.
James VVltelpley’s, in pltitlgc for Hutton’s debt,
with some of his (Hull’s) clothes in it, the rest of
his clothes being put into iiulllillis trunk; the
keys of the two trunks happened to be alike, but
which he did not discover until they arrived at
Baltimore. Hutton proposed for the first time
to him, (Hull) in VVilmington to stop and rob the
mail, but specified nothing distinctly as to time,
place or manner; they travelled on foot to Balti-
more, and in the course of their journey, the mail
robbery was frequently spoken of; Hutton said
he knew of three or four good places for the pur-
pose-—a place near Havre de Grace was mention-
ed. They had made up their minds upon the
robbery of the mail before they reached Balti-
more, and agreed that it should be perpetrated
beyond the Falls of Gunpowder; but recollecting
that there was a bridge in the way, which Hutton
believed was a toll bridge, over which they could .'
not make a safe retreat, it was given up, and they
came on to Baltimore, where they arrived on thi
day two weeks. On Thursday or Friday, after}
they arrived in Baltimore, they left this city ant
wcrt out on foot, on the Philadelphia road. with‘
design to meet, and rob the mail ; and traveller
out into a wood, about a mile beyond the Big Fall!
of Gunpowder, when they stationed tlrenisc-Ives,
and threw some rails across the road, and about
‘2 o'clock A. M. the mail waggon coining up,u hen
Hull perceivirrg it had lamps, said they had l.)-:ttCl.‘
not attempt it, which was ‘agreed to : they witlr-v
drew the rails from the road and the waggon im-
mediately passed 5 they were about 30 fectfroni
the mail when it passed : he (Hull) is pretty cert
an lee °l?t‘t¥..ti9c‘r§t.l2i.ttr=..ii9ss9‘¥ 31"‘ ll‘? t“'i"°"9
no one in it but the driver, its a fine oppttr'ttrriiijr:
and we might as well head it as not, and that be
had a good mind to attack it himself.’
Returning to Baltimore, Hutton said ‘ he would
have it some time, if he were to attack it alone :’
they reached Baltimore about day light. and put
up at the same place as before : when they Went
out the first night, they had a small iron screw-
barrel pocket pistol, the guard back oftlre jcocl-:
was broke, which was loaded by Hutton ;and
each of them had a stout knife, with a ‘blade alert:
4- inches long. Hutton had a mask made fun
old leather cap, and Htrll had a mask made olthc
hairy part ofthe same old cap, which was pr,’ on
about his neck and chin more like a lrartl'.erq‘-tief
than a mask, when they went out of toun hey
put on other clothes over those they had on ‘
They sent out again on Thursday last \vi'.ltl5—:c_:
design to rob the mail, about 8 miles from lhc
city; but when the mail waggon came up tl re
were two men in it; they heard Ii1t:lTl talking.nd
therefore let it pass. 'l lity ret.-irncd to Bati-
more and coming in Hutton said. ‘l will go 62-‘
ry night until I have it.’ On F-iday night lat,
they again set out with intent to rob the mail..;
They stationetl themselres in a wood about ciglt
miles from the city. Hutton threw a few l.)ll.\l_-
es into the road; when the mail wzsggoir came up
they were standing near the road ; there was br
one person in it. ; the first \\‘Ol'(l spoken was bl
Hutton, addressed to the (lrit(:r‘--‘ I command
you (said he) to stop ; there are four of us old
offenders ;’ the driter said nothing but we to his
horses, and stopped. Hutton told Hull to take
hold of the horses, and lead them into the woods 3
the driver remarked as he got into the woods,
‘ gentlemen this is far enough, you bare got ev-
ery thing, you may have all,l make no resist-artce,
don't injure me,l have a wife and children, I don't
know either ofyou, and can’t be an evidence a-
gainst you.’ Hutton said nothing ; ifuil said,
‘ it is not you we want, we don’t want to it.j‘ure
you?
the waggon, and Hutton was tying him with the
reins, first behind by the two arms, and then list
right arm to a sappling.—-llutton then, with ig-
knife, ripped open the mail. Hull lllull tied te’
other arm of the driver, to another sappling; I‘-
ton then threw the mail bags on the ground,
then pillaged the letters and collected the mo_iy "I
as fast as they could. Before they had coliedd
the money, Hutton told Hull, in a low voices w
