On the way, Garrick told the officer that he more than ever believed the Italian to be the murderer, and that if he would give them till to-morrow to arrange a plan he had in view, and then follow his directions be doubt- ed not he would be able to entrap the priscaer into a full confession of the fact. His scheme was to personate his dead friend, to make up his own facile countenance into the exact likeness of the knight's, put on his dress, as- sume his voice, and appear before the Italian in the apartments of Sir George. The plan was carried owt, as no one but the remarkable actor could do it. Assisted by a very fine painting of Sir George, Garrick succeeded in so perfectly counterteiting the deceased knight, that almost any one might been deeeived ; and at the appointed tine the Chevalier Gaetan was conveyed to the palatial residence of the Englishman, and informed on the way that the latter was not dead, bus had sufficiently recovered to appear to accase him of an attempt at murder. The Italian trembled as he crossed the threshold of the mansion; and when he beheld, as he be- lieved, the veritable knight himself, hia kwees tairly smote together. **Wretch ' villain ' murderer!" thundered the voice of the so: disant Sir George Lewis ; ‘dare you deny your crime before me? down and beg for mercy, as you hope for life and forgiveness !'’ The wretched man instantly fell upon his knees and confessed all, even stating where he had concealed the money, which he of- fered to restore and add ail bie ill-gotten gains to it.
