after scarching the body for the keys, they rollcd
ii up in iue utu uiumes auu puiceu iu uie ueu. ;
They securtd the door and w
cnt tu work on
the vault to open it,
Whilst at this work, Mr.
Wtaver came to ihe door and knocked, and tall-
edto Jesse, (Mr.Eaker) lo let hira in. Some dis-
pute ensuedbctwein.Brown and Madison, wbich
s-hould kiU Weaver; and ii was insistcd that Mad-
ison shculd. as hc had killed Baker. but lie refu-
sed, saj ing tliat he had done his sliare aiid would
do no more. Brown onened the door and placed
himself behind it, and as "Weaver passed into the
rnom.slruck him ovet theheid wiih a barofiron
on the second blow he fell, and aitemptin? to
rise Brown thrust a sharp iron bar turougli his
fcead. Ennis in his statement, docs not confirm
the report of the firinsr ol the pisiols. but says,
that having liear.l tliat Weaver was sliot, lie ask
ed Madison about it, and he lo'.tl him tliat no pis
tol had bcen fired and that they had no wcapons
but ihe bar of iron mcnt oned. From the state
ment it would seem that all of thcm had bcalcn
Weaver.
After some further cfibrt at ihe vault, findjng
tlicy cnuld nntgct into ii .Madison !eft; Warrick,
Scwell and Brown icmained a ihort lime, tlien
fircd the hnuss iu fire diflerenl places, caine out,
locked the door and went up the allcy nnithfrom
the house and threw the key away. BrowD took
vitb him a gold watch and a blue clnth cloak,
which he said he had thrown awav for fenrof de
tcclion, t'Ut did not say wherc.
It seems from the statcmcnts, that Ennis, on
the mornins: following, wasir. company with all
of them and many of the faets hc got from others
besides Madi'oa. Warrick and Sewell said
but little abont it. Madison had with him or.
the morning following, the bar of iron with
which the deed was execuled, and Ennis havinff
leamed the office it had pcrformcd, took it and
threw it intoa privy iu the rear of Leah's house.
The vault was sej'rched yesterday and the bar
found. We undrtand it proves to bean instru
ment uscil iu oneninir drv aoods boxes, a chNel
on one cnd and claws on the other, one of the
claws partly broken, agrccing lully wttli Lnms's
description.
There are many other minor statcmcnts, but
the above is the substance. The cominuuica
tion ot Madison appears to have bcen made wiih
out solicitation, anif without anv injunction of
sjcrccy.
J.eah and her hubnnd confi.m Enni.i's statc
nients as to the lime he came home. und thbtme
Madison came in. They heard 'he cuiiversalon
hut not sufRciently distiiict to undcrstand it. It
mav be well, however, to rem.trk, as :i turlhcr
coii'firination of Eunis's siatemenis, that yester
day.Madison's coat was found in the loflof hcah's
house besmeurcJ wt!i blood. Fioui all tliat we
