The story is tclold in an artless and seemingly sincere strain, amidmany pro- testations of truth. She says her us - band was enkinlo abused and sco ed her, and in consequence she had. often thought of patting an end to her wretch- ed life. A. year and a half after their marria.ge shelsecanie acquainted with the prisoner Coyle, and her huslland grew very jealous ,of him, although there had been no improper intimacy. He scolded so much about it that after a while she had nothing, more to say to him. - She told her mother of the matter, and Coyle beard. it She'saidshe wished she had never knOwn man, and had never mar- ried. Coyle said to her that he would make her single, if she would love him ; but she would not listen to that. After- wards he took her part against her has - baud, and love sprung up between them. Coyle then proposed to poison Campbell, and bought' poison in London for that purpose. This was about two months be- fore the murder. He brought the -poison home, and tols1 her to dissolve it, and mix with cake .that,he was in the habit of taking with him when tverking in the fields. She was afraid to use the -poison. Shortly after that the Campbells moved. to the cabin where the murder took place. Coyle appeared disappointed at the change of resid.ence, but afterwards said to her that he thought they could manage it better there ; that he could. come te the house some • night when Campbell Was asleep and kill him in bed kle then proposed to come to London and buy a pistol, but was disappointed, and went to St. Mary's inetead, the week We - fore the murder. He bought a pistol there, and- "frond" that she did not know the name of, elso some lead; and brought them all to her. He asked her to make' EVe..or six bullets for bin), as he had. no chance to do it at the 111cWain's, where lie lived. She 'consented and made six bullets. She say li she melted the lead in an old spoon, Which she afterwards doubled up and- threw in a corner of the fence. The reason be Wanted six was that he would. require two or three to try the pistol wi ith before he used it for the murder, They arranged' that he should come to the house on the Wednesday night, and she sat up till 10 o'clock on that night, when her husband retired to bell. He appeared to insist that she should go too, and she weat to bed. `Ile next day she went over to her father's, and met Coyle there. He reproached her with having broken her word. She explained to him how it was, and gave him all. th€reasons why she did not sit up for him: She was afraid to sit up, any longer, as her husband might have some suspicion. He then asked her if she would sit up on Thursday uight. She hesitated, saying she had somethig to prevent her; and he asked her if she would Flit up on Friday night, and she consented. It was ar- ranged. 'that she should leaye the door epee. When, the night came, her hus- band sat up till his usuril hear for re- tiring, ten o'clock, reading his Bible. She was sewing. 1 He then said his pray- ers and went to .bed. At about eleven o'clock the baby in the trundle bed awoke 'and she took it up and. narstcl it, then laid it down, hushed it to sleep, and hearing Coyle's signal outside, blew out the lamp and went out of doors. She found Coyle standing at the doorway. : He asked. her if she would fire the pistol. She said no. She had never seen a pis-, tol before, let alone firing one. He then entered the house with her, and went to the.head of the bed where Campbell was lying. He presented the pistol at his bead, but she pulled bis arm and it snap- ped. He tried again, but she again pul- led his arm, with the same result. He then asked her where the axe was. She replied, under the cupboard. He asked her to bring it to him. She did so. . He then a,sked her whether he should strike him with the blacle or the poll of the axe. ,While this was going on her husband ap- peared to awaken, and Coyle made a stroke at him in the dark with the axe. She thinks it was then he received the cut lit the arm which disabled him from resisting -Coyle. He sprang out of bed, and they Scu-flled. about the/ room a loeg time. Then she heard "gurgling" sound, as if some one was cheking. Coyle. then called out to her to bring the butcher knife. She did so. He then asked her to cut his throat.- She said she could not do it. He said, "Didn't you promise to help me?" She•replied, "Yes, but I can't do it." He then took -We knife from her, held her husband against the wall stand- ing up, -and cut his throat. She says the 'doctors were mistaken when they said his throat' was cut while he was on the floor, and that it ,did not bleed. It was positively done while Coyle had him clenched against the wall. She then heard.him fall -heavily on the floor. As he clid so he exclaimed, " God have mercy on my soul !"

So he took the axe again, and made several cuts on his head. Each stroke be made she pulled his arm (it will be remember- ed there were some 25 gashes). While they were scuffling against the wall, she Says her husband got the axe away. from Coyle, and the latter called on her to help him to g ct it away from him again. She did so, a got the blood by Mrs. Crai d in trying to do so, she n her hands, first noticed . They failed, however, to get the axe away from Campbell. After belivering the blows, Coyle went to the door end washed his hands in a tub of water; then returned into the house, lit a match, and, holding it up to his face, asked her to see if there was any blood on it. This was the only light that had been in the house after the lamp had been blown out till the- men came. Coyle then told her to tell the story whioh she afterwards did tell; and, to give iticolor, drew the things out of the bureau drawer on to the Ikon , and threw the child's money box out ofthe door. She asked Coyle how he got' out her father's, Joseph McWain's, house, without disturbing the family. He said he had left the boy, Heigh, in bed asleep. This was on he first night Of his visit (Aednesclay). When she tried. to pre- vail on him to eome another night, he said he didift dare to, as getting out of the windowS and in again, loosened the clap boerds; and it would. be seen. She says, when he was snapping the pistol, andshe drew back his arm, he asked what she did it for? She replied because she did not like to have him. killed. The dress she had on when she went to Craig's. was the same she wore during the murder. . She had not been in bed, at all that night. She had not worn the, petticoat and clothing that were found on the floor. She does H01; know how they got there unless they had fallen down in the scuffle. She says Coyle had been gone about half an hour before she cried out.
