CRIMES, CRIMINALS, AND EXECUTIONS.

The annals of Franklin County are blackened by no less than five established inurders, while there is a probability amounting to almost a certainty of two others, the perpe- trators of which have never been discovered. These have resulted in five trials, a eonvietion for some degree of mur- der having been seeured in each of them, while in one of the others the offender entered a plea of manslaughter in the first degree. Not even an arrest has ever been made for the other two.

The Videto Murder .- The first of these erimes was eom- mitted by Stephen Videto, in Fort Covington, Feb. 2, 1825, the vietim being Mrs. Fanny Mosely, otherwise known as Fanny Pattee. The eireumstanees were briefly these : Mrs. Mosely was a young woman, whose parents resided at Hawkesbury, provinee of Ontario. In 1819 she married a worthless schoolmaster, who, after taking her to Fort Co- vington and obtaining her property, left her penniless and destitute. She became a tailoress, and aequired a farin and a considerable sum of money. In 1824 she went to Vi- deto's to board, and an attachment grew up between her and her murderer, which was to have resulted in marriage. But from motives unknown Videto repented of his engagement, and it is believed attempted to poison her, though that was not suseeptible of proof. A few days before the tragedy Videto elaimed to have seen Indians lurking about the house, and professed a fear that they meant to take his life. He procured arms, which he kept loaded in his room,- which room was oeeupied not only by himself, but by his brother, sister, and Mrs. Mosely also,-and the night of the latter's death, they being alone in the room, he elaimed to have sat on his bed, gun in hand, expeeting to be at- taeked, when he heard the smashing of glass at the win- dow next her bed, followed immediately by the report of a rifle. He said that he at onee fired out of the window, but without effect. The ball that eaused her death entered at her back, near the spine, a little above the left hip, and passed out near the left breast. The trial began at Malone on Thursday, July 6, 1825, and was coneluded on the follow- ing Tuesday. The evidence was wholly circumstantial, and established that the glass from the broken window had fallen

outward,-so that it must have been broken from within ; that the foot-prints found outside the house were probably made by Videto himself to strengthen his assertion that it was a murder by Indians ; and that after earefully sereen- ing the windows of the room, to preelude any possibility of discovery, he himself fired the fatal shot, the course of the ball indieating that the shot could not have been fired from with- out. The jury were out but fifteen minutes, and agreed upon a verdiet of guilty. The prisoner was senteneed to be hung on the 20th of August following, and the execution took place on that day in a field a short distance east of this village. Vi- deto's last words were that he was innocent, and the paper on which had been written this deelaration was held in his hand as he was launched into eternity as his protest that his death was not deserved. Even after the drop fell he changed this paper from his left to his right hand, and waved it to the multitude who had gathered to witness his death.

The Pierce Parricide .- The second was the murder of Oliver Pieree, of Moira, by his son, William Pieree, and oceurred Jan. 10, 1838. The two were working together in the woods, when an altereation arose between them as to whether the son might attend some entertainment that even- ing, and in a paroxysm of rage the young man struek the father with an axe, inflieting injuries from which he died a day or two later. He was arrested, indieted, and tried, and, being found guilty, was senteneed to be hung. Gov- ernor Seward, however, commuted the sentence to imprison- ment for life, and the parrieide is now in Auburn prison, a demented man. He was about twenty years of age at the time of the commission of his erime.

Ira Sherwin .- The third was the killing of Justin Bells of Brasher Falls, by Ira Sherwin, of Malone, in the wood, near Owl's Head Pond, Belmont, Nov. 2, 1851. Bell was in the habit of going to the woods every fall to trap and hunt, and while there this year Sherwin eame to his shanty, hav- ing left the village to eseape arrest on a warrant in the hands of the sheriff. The next day he came to the elear- ing and told that he had aeeidentally killed Mr. Bell while trying to discharge his gun, so that he might reload it to go out night-hunting. Parties at onee visited the seene, and found Mr. Bell lying dead in his bunk, the ball having entered below the left eye and passed entirely through the head. It is believed that he must have been asleep when shot, and the nature of the wound showed that it could not have been inflieted as Sherwin had said it was. The only possible objeet of the erime was to obtain a few mink- and fox-skins Mr. Bell had in his possession, which had been taken only a few rods and there seereted. . Sherwin was arrested, indieted, and tried in July, 1852. He was found guilty and senteneed to be hung in the following Septem- ber, but the Governor afterwards commuted it to imprison- ment for life. He is still at Dannemora.

Bickford's and Cook's Crime .- The fourth was the kill- ing of John B. Seeor, of New Castle, Westchester Co., N. Y., on the Hopkinton and Port Kent turnpike, in the town of Franklin, on the 6th of June, 1853, by James M. Bick- ford, of Dickinson. Secor, with a companion named Wright Van Tassel, had been buying horses in this section, and the two were on their way home, each riding a horse and leading two others. Suddenly a rifle was discharged

from the roadside about four rods ahead of them, and Secor fell dead from his horse. Immediately a young man stepped into sight, Van Tassel addressed him, but receiving no reply, turned and rode rapidly back to Duane and gave the alarm. On returning to the scene the body was found to have been robbed, and after twenty-four hours' pursuit James M. Bickford and Thomas Cook were apprehended at Burke. Van Tassel identified the former as the man he saw im- mediately after the shot was fired, and also identified a watch and pocket-book (containing $371), found near where Bickford stood when arrested, as the property of Secor. The trial was concluded July 29, 1854, a verdict of guilty being rendered, and the prisoner sentenced to be hanged September 22d. Cook was arraigned the same day, and desired to plead guilty, but because of his youth the court preferred that there should be a trial, which resulted the same as Bickford's, with the same sentence, which was after- wards commuted to imprisonment for life. He has since been pardoned, and is at present a resident of this county. Bickford also made confession before his execution.

The Meacham Tragedy .- Henry Meacham, of Dickin- son, having learned that his wife was unfaithful, separated from her, and after repeated threats, vainly sought the life of her supposed paramour. Jan. 6, 1865, he went to the house where his wife was living, and entering the room, where she was trying to get their infant child asleep, shot her through the heart and cut her throat. He then shot himself through the brain, and when the people arrived, who had been summoned by the wife's mother, both husband and wife were lying on the floor dead. The infant child was with them, seeking to draw from the lifeless breast the nourishment it had there been accustomed to find. The woman was the sister of Cook whose crimes are above detailed.

John Dillon .- The fifth was the murder of Hugh Col- lins, Sr., of Franklin, by his son-in-law, John Dillon, on the 9th of April, 1877. He pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the first degree, and was sentenced to hard labor at Dan- nemora for the period of eight years and four months. The " short time" that good behavior will give him will leave him a frec man about July, 1883.

The Barber Murder .- On the 23d of August, 1877, at midday, there came to the humble home of Stephen Barber, in Belmont, a bronzed and ill-visaged tramp, requesting the purchase from him of a coat and vest. His pitiable story and perhaps the bargain he offered effected his purpose, and for his dinner and $2 in money the clothes were bought, Mr. Barber exhibiting about $30 as he made the payment. Before the tramp departed food was kindly given him lest he should become hungry on his way. Three days later, at midnight, this man returned, and entering by the window, stole to the bedside of his benefactor, and fired shot after shot at him and his wife. Then securing what money his victim had, he started on his flight. Mr. Barber died ; Mrs. Barber was left alive to give the alarm that resulted in the murderer's apprehension and to give on the trial the evidence to secure his conviction. He was tried, convicted, and sentenced to be hanged. He was executed at Malone, Feb. 1, 1878.

The Seabury and Barr Tragedies .- The two suspected

murders are those of George H. Seabury, of Chateaugay, at Malone, on May 24, 1867, and of George Barr, of North Lawrence, also at Malone, on Sept. 28, 1870. The former is thought to have been in the employ of the British gov- ernment, to keep it informed of the plans and movements of the Fenians, and, being detected, to have been put out of the way by some of the members of the organization. He was found dead on Main Street, at an early hour in the morning, a contusion on the side of his head and a pistol- ball through his heart. The doctors testified at the inquest that death must have supervened from such a wound in thirty seconds at the longest. Mr. Barr had been in Malone attending the fair, and was last seen alive as he left the Hogle House, at ten o'clock in the evening, to take the train. His body was discovered two days later in the river below the Main Street bridge, and all the probabilities pointed to foul play. The post-mortem examination showed that he had received a blow upon the head, had been gar- roted, and his pockets rifled, his coat being torn as if there had been a struggle. The conjecture was that after leaving the hotel he had been induced to change his mind about returning home that night, and that at a later hour he was murdered, robbed, and thrown over the bridge. Even sus- picion has been unable to point its finger at any individual as guilty of this crime.

FRANKLIN IN 1813.

The following reference to Franklin County is taken from " Spafford's Gazetteer," published in 1813 :

"Franklin County was erected from Clinton County in 1808. It is bounded north by Canada, or latitude 45º north, east by Clinton and a small angle of Essex County, south by Essex and a small part of Montgomery County, west by St. Lawrence County and a small angle on the St. Lawrence River. The west line is sixty miles in length ; the greatest width thirty-one milcs. The area fifteen hundred and six miles, or 963,840 acres, situated between 44º 5' and 45º north lati- tude, 06' east or 44' west longitude from New York.

" The centre of Franklin County lies 142 miles uearly north from Albany, fifty-seven a little south of east from Ogdensburgh, and forty- twomiles nearly west from Plattsburgh, measured in right lines. The high northern latitude sufficiently indicates the rigors of the climate. In the south western part arc lofty ridges of the Peru Mountains, but of all the rest a large portion is rather level than hilly. The small streams are very numerous, and there are a number of small lakes or ponds. Salmon Creek runs northward into the province of Canada, entering the St. Lawrence a few miles north of the territorial line. The St. Regis Creek and the Rusket River receive their principal sources from Franklin County. The Chateaugay runs into Canada ; and Franklin affords some water to Chazy and Saranac Creeks, of · Lake Champlain. The soil and surface are capable of rendering it a pretty good farming country, but at present the population is too in- considerable for much detail of products or improvements. There are mines of iron ore, and indications of other metals. It can hardly be necessary to say that this county received its name from the illustrious Franklin, and nothing was meant by attaching it to the least valuable county of this State, though the doctor, who always saw a meaning in everything, might be displeased with it should he appear here in his butt of wine. Franklin with Clinton County send one member to the House of Assembly."

GEOGRAPHICAL, TOPOGRAPHICAL, GEOLOGICAL.

Franklin County is located in the northeastern part of New York, and is bounded as follows : On the north by the Province of Quebec, Canada; on the east by Clinton and Essex Counties ; on the south by Essex and Hamilton ; and on the west by St. Lawrence County. Its county-seat is

POLITICAL HISTORY.

Malone, located in the northern part, on the Sahnon River and Ogdensburgh and Lake Champlain Railroad.

Franklin County contains an area of 1718 square miles, and is centrally distant 130 miles from Albany.

The surface of Franklin presents a varied feature of plain and bold outlines of irregular hills and deep valleys. In the north it is mostly level, in the centre hilly, and in the southern part extends into the Adirondack region .*

There are numerous high peaks in this region, the highest elevation being Mount Seward, which is 5100 feet above the tide. The valleys of the southern part of the county and the plateau of the central have an elevation of about 1600 feet above tide.

The county is drained chiefly by Chateaugay, Trout, Salmon, Little Salmon, Deer, St. Regis, and Racket Rivers, tributaries of the St. Lawrence. The Saranac flows through the southeastern part.

In the Adirondack wilderness are numerous lakes, the general elevation of which is about 1600 feet above tide. The principal of these are Loon, Meacham, St. Regis, Upper and Lower Saranac, Round, Tupper, and Raquette. There are also innumerable small ponds in this vicinity.

The northwest corner of the county, including Bombay, Fort Covington, Westville, and portions of Constable and Moira, is underlaid by calciferous sandstone, the soil being generally a heavy clay.

South of this region is a belt eight miles wide, underlaid by Potsdam sandstone. Gneiss is the underlying rock in the central and southern portions of the county. In the eastern part of the county, in the town of Behnont, are valuable iron-mines.
