At ten o’clock on Monday night, the cry of murder was heard in the house of James Hart, in this city; some people immediately ran into the house, and found Hart and his wife extended on the floor, to appearance with their throats cut; physicians soon arrived, and on examination found the wounds on the neck of the man to be merely superficial incisions; but the throat of his wife was cut in a most shocking manner; the incision began from the left Mastoide muscle by the first stroke, and extended to the os Hyoides; a repeated stroke from the right ear met the left incision and opened the os Hyoides into the wind pipe; the third stroke was a stab, which separated the right external Jugulars, which emitted near four quarts of blood, - fortunately neither of the two Carotid arteries were separated, and her wound is supposed not to be mortal. Hart, the supposed perpetrator of the horrid act, is committed to prison for trial, at the

My much esteemed wife, Accept of this small token of the unfeigned love and regard I still bear towards one whom I esteem as the best of companions; perhaps it may be the last time you will ever receive a line from your affected and distressed husband. The Superior Court have ordered me into confinement in Newgate prison during life. The idea of being thus
separated from you fills me with infinitely more sorrow than all the horrors of a confinement in a gloomy dungeon. Torn from my loving wife and my endearing family. The sensations I feel are only to be imagined by the mind of one in like circumstances; they are not describable, nor is it in the power of the ablest person in existence to give any lively description of my feelings I can only add that I am innocent of the crime for which I am sentenced to punishment. .Remember that Moses Johnson although separated from you has the greatest affection for you, and remember to pray for your husband. May God bless you and our dear little children, and if we never meet on earth, may we meet in the fair realms of everlasting happiness unitedly to adore redeeming love without separation. I am this moment to go on to confinement. Farewell! Farewell! Moses Johnson
