THE CONFESSION.
Philpott's confession is as follows : — On the afternoon of September 7, 1897, 1, Frank Philpott, shed the blood ot Alexander Hawthorne during a quarrel. It is my earnest desire that ttiis, my confession, should be published on Wednesday, March 23, 1898. One of the reasons -why I make this confession is because I could not go out of this world leaving as my defence implied a stain upon the character of Mr Fredk. Chas. Sowerby.— Frank Philfott. — March 22, 1898. In explanation of the allusion to Mr Sowerby, it may be mentioned that during the defence it was suggested that Sowerby had cause for a quarrel against Hawthorne and might have been guilty. Philpott before his arrest, had tried to excite Mr Sowerby to jealousy against Hawthorne.
