A.report has been, published bone or
_two newspepers with- regard. to the -Murder'
of j. B. Sage- that a certain man named
Alfred 'Woods_ had. confessed, 'previous to
bis -own death from smallpox, that he -was
the murderer. A' man named Barr was
roe:re:tented as giving the deathbed lionfes-
_atom of Woods in all itshorrible&tale. It
is a disgrace to journalism that any news-
paper should: - so carelessly deal with so
important 8 matter, The whole story as
'told by -this man Barr is a_ Yankee notion.
judging from • the following there in no
-t• ruth whatever in the. statements • made,.'
The Brantford: Exposito . says that -the
true story is as follows : Alfred Weeds

and. his wife, Miss Metleretook thee meals
or boarded and lodged at Fort Erie. Woodts
andhis wire 'lived unhappily *get**, and
the mother-indayr and Mrs. Woods' brother
George assert that %oda was eruel to *his
wife. At any rate it is asserted that
Woods drew his money and left, hastened
by the threat of his brothezein-leed
that he would kill him if- he ever
• returned- - This separation took 1 place
after, the murder of Sage,- but We have
-not-the exact date. Receettly Mrs. Metier
went tit New York to -get a. cettificate Of
Wocele* death, and procured it, but she and
the family ridicule the idea' that Woods
ever knew anything about the Sage murder,
except what he' read hi the papers. TO
dispose of the story thet Woods worked for
, Mr. Cookshutt, we applied there, and find
that nit- such man was in, the employ
'of any of these gentlenien thettime. To
make the matter absolutely certain that it
was impassible that Woods story true,
we -telegraphed to Mr.Coldeugh, the G.T.R.
agent at Fort Erie, and he telegraphs us
that Alfred Woods VMS 011 cilltk at the time
of the murder, and unless he Could be in•
