Then for a moment I looked up to heaven, and cried three times tolerably loud, Lord Jesus! what have I done!! I then took up Hoffman, and carried him a short distance and threw him behind a hemlock log. I was not satisfied with this, and took him up again and carried him further, and then removed him, and covered him in the place at which he was found. I tried to bury him, but could not succeed well, the ground was too hard. I intended, as soon as I could, to remove him from that and bury him securely. On the same day I hid his pack, only taking out a few articles for the present. I found on his person about one hundred dollars in money, and some other small articles, which I took then. The week after the murder, I went to Williamsport and bought some goods from Mr. Updegraff, which I paid for, or nearly all, with Hoffman’s money. I also, at the same time, bought some articles from Dr. Power, and paid him in the same way, and at the same time _stole from him one dollar in money, and several chisels of different kinds_. When I returned, Bastians asked me where I got the goods. _I told them my father had given me money, and I also had bought goods on trust. In short, I stole and robbed every chance I could get, from my cradle to the day of my imprisonment._ I wish now further to declare, that no false evidence was delivered against me at my trial. I am sincerely thankful to the officers of justice, ministers, and counsel, for their uniform kindness to me. I now pray the world to forgive me the many injuries I have done, as I hope I will freely forgive all who have injured me. APPENDIX. TAKEN JUNE 30, 1838.
