Mr Sala’s Accourt of the Confession

Mr. George ‘Augustus Sala writes the Daily Telegraph as follows:—Last Satur- day, between one and two p.m., a knock came at my study dvor, and I was handed a letter which had. been brought in hot haste by a servant who was instructed to wait for an answer. The missive was of the brief- est possible kind, and was from my old friend and near neighbor Mr, Henry La- bouchere, M. P., and ran thus; ‘*Can you leave everything and come here at once?!

Most important business. H.L.” I told the servant that 1 would be in Grosvenor Gardens within a quarter of an hour, and ere that time had expired I was ushered into a library on the ground floor where I found the senior member for Northampton smoking his sempiternal cigarette, but with an unusual and curious expression of ani- mation in his normally impassive counten- ance. He was not alone, Ensconsced in a roomy fautewil, afew paces from Mr. La- bouchere’s writing table, there was a some- what burly individual of middle stature and of more than middle age. He looked full sixty, although 1 have been given to under- stand that his age does not exceed fifty- five, but his elderly aspect was enhanced

at his ease a gentleman who from such cause or another was troubled in his mind it would have been the dulcet voice in which Mr. Labouchere continued, ** The fact is that Mr. Pigott has come here, quite un- solicited, to make a full confession. I told him that I would listen to nothing that he had to say save in the presence of a wit- ness ; and remembering that you lived close by I thought that you would not mind com- ing here and listening to what Mr. Pigott has to confess, which will be taken down word by word from his dictation in writ- ing.” It has been my lot during a long and diversified career to have to listen to a large number of very queer statements fromm very queer people, and by dint of ex- perience you reachat last a stage of stoicism when little, if anything, that is imparted to you excites surprise. Thus, if Mr. La- bouchere had told me that Mr. Pigott pro- posed to avow that he found a four-leaved shamrock, that he had formulated a uni- versal theorem, or that he was the murder- er of Eliza Grimwood, I should have been fully prepared to hear what he had got to say without indulging in any unseemly ex- hibition of astonishment. It was one thing, however, to be told that Mr. Pigott intended to confess, and quite another to get, the confession from his lips. As in the case of the gentleman at. Tyburn whe ‘“‘oft fitted the halter, oft traversed the cart, often took leave, but seemed loth to de- part,” so it did appear that Mr. Pigott, although he had screwed his mind to the: sticking place of sayingthat he was going to confess, manifested considerable tardi- ness in orally “‘owning up.” Conscience, we were justified in assuming, had ‘‘ gnawed” to an extent sufficient to make him wliling to relieve his soul from a dreadful burden, but conscience to all seeming had to gnaw a little longer and a little more sharply ere she absolutely gave tongue. So we let him be for about ten minutes. Mr, Labouchere kindled another cigarette; 1 lighted a cigar, and—excuse the vulgarity of the phrase— continued to take stock of the man in the easy chair still poring over the Times, still tapping from time to time his forehead with the pencil-case, and still wriggling first one foot and then the other. Perhaps conscience was gnawing like gout in his toes, A

length he stood up, and came forward into the light by the side of Mr. Labouchere’s writing table. It was very rude, of course, to stare at him, but I did stare, and that persistently. He did not change color; he did not blanch; but when at length—out of the fulness of his heart, no doubt—his mouth spoke, it was in a low, half musing tone, more at first as though he were talk- ing to himself than to his auditors. By degrees, however, his voice rose, his diction became more fluent, it was rarely necessar

to halt to reconstruct a phrase, and the confession which subsequently found its way into the possession of Mr. George Lewis, and a copy of which has no doubt been produced before the Special Commis- sion was from beginning to end literally and verbally the composition as well as the utterance of Mr. Richard Pigott. It is only necessary that in this place I should say in substance that Pigott con- fessed that he had forged the letters alleged to have been written by Mr.

Parnell, and minutely described the man- ner in which he, and he alone, had execut- ed the forgeries in question. It was to my mind as frank, free, and full a confession as that of the notorious George Frederick Manning, who, after repeatedly denying that he had had anything to do with the murder of Patrick O’Connor, at length, in quite an effusive outburst of confidence, re- marked, ‘‘ I never liked him, so I finished him off with a ripping chisel.” Whether the man with the bald head and the eye- glass in the library at Grosvenor Gardens was telling the truth or uttering another batch of infernal lies is not forme to de termine. ‘Time will eventually show, or the lawyers will find out whether his state- ment made to us last Saturday, was vera- cious or mendacious, but to my mind he seemed to be confessing facts, and nothing but facts. No pressure was put upon him, no leading questions were asked him, and he went on quietly and continuously to the end of a story which | should have thought amazing, had I not had occasion to hear

| Leeal and Other Items.

Bad blood causes dyspepsia and dyspepsia reacts by causing bad blood. So both go on, growing worse, until the whole system is poisoned.

When | he was not tapping his cranium} with the pencic-case, he put it be-| tween his lips as though he were chew-| ing the cud of sweet and bitter fancies, and | then he would twiddle the case between his | fingers. I noted the shambling carriage lof his head and the occasional twitching, | first of one foot and then of the other. L) noted his somewhat shabby genteel attire,

me to recognize the individual as corresponding precisely with what I had read about him, and with a

sketch which I had seen of his features in some evening paper;and when Mr. La- bouchere in his most courteous manner and his blandest tone said, ‘‘ Allow me to in- troduce you to a gentloman of whom you must have heard a great deal, Mr.”—— I replied, ‘‘There is not the slightest neces- sity for naming him. I know him well enough. That’s Mr. Pigott.” The in- dividual in the capacious fauteuil wriggled from beyond the Times an uneasy acknow- ledgment of my recognition; but could any-

This will help shorten the lobster season; it will keep the lobsters in deep; water, as these shell fish do not like to travel in ice water. This is the happy home of the lobster. The ice scraping the bottom so clean is injurious ¢o all shoal water fisher- men, and an extension of time would be ve profitable this season to all concerned.
