Relieving myself by this thought, I soon lit'cofi'ee—could not eat; drank ‘two cups of
a candle knowingtliat no time wzisto be lost;
‘something must be done. This was about
9 o’clock I should think. _
Having closed the shutters, I went and ex-
amined the box to sce if I could not crowd
the body into it. [soon saw there was =1
possibility ofdoing so, if I could bcrid the
legs up, and that it would answer it I could
keep some oftlie canvass around the body to
absorb the blood and keep it from running
out. This I was fearful of. It occurred to
me-—if I bury or send this body array, the
clothes which he had on would, from des-
cription, discover who it might bit‘: It be-
came necessary tostrip it and dispose ofthe
clothes. which I speedily acconiplislied by
ripping up-the coat-sleeves. vcst, &c, \Vliile.
removing the’ clothes, the keys, money, ac.
in his pcckets caused a rattling. I took theml
out and laid them one side. I then pulled
art ofthe awning over his body to hide it.
‘hen ctit and tore a piece from the awning
nd laid itin the bottom oftlic box. I tlien
~ cut several pieces from the awning for the
purpose of lessening its bulk, supposing -it
was too much to crowd intothe box with the
body; i. e. it would not go in. I then tied
as tight as I could a poition of the awning
aboutthe head, having placed something like
flax, which I fotiud in the box, with the
awning. (This flax or swiiidling toiv came
from the room I had previously occpuied—
No. 3 Murry street; also the awning.)
I then drew a piece of this rope around
the legs at the joint of the. knees and tied
them together; I thcn connected a rope to
the one about the shoulders or neck and
bout the knees towards the l'lt‘l1"l of the body
as much as I could. This brought it into a
compact form. After several eflortsl suc-
ceeded in raising the body to a chair‘ scat,
thence to the top ofthe box. and turning it
round a little, let it into the box as easy as I
could, back downnrds with head raised. The
head, knees and feet were still a little out,
but by reaching down to the bottom of the
box and pulling the body a little towards me,
I readily pushed the head in and feet. The
knees still projected and I had to stand upon
them with all my weight before [could get
them down. The awning wasthcn crowded
in the box. excepting a piece or two, which
I preserved to wash the. floor. There being
still a portion of the box, next to the feet, not
quite full, Itook his coat, and after pulling
up a portion of the awning crowded it partial-
lv under them and replaced the awning.——
The covei“'was at once put on the box and
nailed down with four or five nails which
were broken and of but little account.
I then wrapped the remainder of his cloth-
ing tip and carried it down stairs to the pri-
vy, and threw it into it, together with his
keys, wallet, money. pencil-case, &c. These
latter things I took down in my hat and
pOCl\'€iS.f1If)£ll‘f. wrapped in a paper and ti
part otliertvisc, In throwing them down, I
think they must have rattled out ofthe paper.
I then‘ returned to the room, and carried
down the pail which contained the blood,
and threw it into the gutter of the street,
pumped several pails of ivater and threw it
in the sarncdirection. The pump is nearly
opposite the outer door of the building.——
Then carrietl a pail of \vnte1' up stairs, and
commenced washing‘ the floor. and repeated
siid washing to a third pail: then rinsed the
pail, returned it clean and two~thirds full of
water to the room; opened the shutters as
tisual. drew a chair to the door and leaned
it on the inside as I closed it. Locked the
door and went at once to the Vvashington

way. On my way to the Bath-I-louse. went
by a hardware store for the purpose of get-
ting some nails to further secure the box.--
The store was closed. When I got to the
B-.ith-I-louse I think by the clock there it was
8 minutes past 10.
I washed out my shirt thoroughly in parts
of the sleeves and bosom. that were some-
what stained with blood from washing the
floor. My paritaloons on the knees I also
washed :1 little, and my neck-handkerchief in
spots. -
I then went home. It wanted when Igot
borne about 5 minutes of ll o'clock. I lit a
light as usual. Caroline wished to know
why I came in so late. I made an excuse.
saying that I was with a friend from Phila-
delphiaI think, and that I should get up
early in the morning to go and see him off.
I went to the stand and pretended to write till
she became quiet or went to sleep. I then put
out the light and undressed myself. spread-
ing my shirt, &.c. out and went to bed. In
the morning. at about 5.}; o’clock, I got up,
put my shirt and handkerehii f, which were
not yet dry. into the bottom" of the clothes
basket under the bed; always changed my
shirt on going to bed. In the morning put
on It clean shirt and handkerchief, and was
nearly dressed when Caroline woke up. I
said to her that it was doubtful whether I
should return to breakfast; did not return;
went to the office; found all apparently as I
left it. "Went after some nails--got them at
VVood's store; the store was just opening.
Returned to the room, miled the box on all
sidcs—went down to the East River to
ascertain the first packet for New Orleans;
returned to my room; marked the box;
moved it myself’, but with great difficulty
to the head of the stairs; did not dare to let
it down myself; wentto look for a cartman;
saw a man passing the door as I was going
out; requested himto help me down with the
box; he got it down witl:iout.any assistance
-—p1-efei-red doing so; paid him 10 or 12 cts;
