ROBERT McCONAGHY. 623

changed, and hid them; the money, shot-poush, and the tin, I hid
on the north side of Jack's mountain, half or three-quarters of a mile
from the path on the left hand side, about half-way down the moun-
tain. I put the things under an old log, near a deadened piece of
woods; the money I put above the log, and covered it with a piese of
bark. Going over, I did not take the path, but went through the
woods, After I had hid the things and the money, I eame out right
above John Wall’s; then went to Thomas Green’s, and from there to
Stever’s, and then came home to my mother’s, and there stayed all
night with my woman; and next morning I went down to Brown’s.
I did not like Brown, and murdered them for their little bit of prop-
erty; I thought I had as good a right to it as any of them, If I had
killed Brown, I intended to put him in the house, and burn them all
up, I went to Jobn the day before, and asked him to come home,
and he promised he would, if he got done ploughing the corn. I was
near making confession three or four times before; but didn’t like
to do it, because it would be a disgrace to my family.”
