The facts which were adduced in evidence were not so strong, although they in some measure confirmed the truth of the foregoing confession. The best evidence that could be given by the few witnesses who were examined, went to a presumption that _Bedworth_ effected the bloody deed with a razor, and it was so stated in the indictment.—This, however, did not prove to be true; but Mr. JUSTICE HEATH, in summing up, observed, that this was immaterial, in point of law;—the charge implied being, that the prisoner had done the act with a _cutting_ or _sharp_ instrument. Throughout the trial _Bedworth_ manifested a good deal of agitation; but this the Editor ascertains to have arisen in consequence of the evidence of two women, who made, as he supposed, some misstatements, as to _time_, on the day whereon the murder had been committed. Indeed, such was the effect of these trivial inaccuracies upon his mind, that he _twice_ solemnly addressed the court, calling upon God to witness, that the women had _forsworn_ themselves in this respect.—This conduct was _mistaken_, _by the court_, as an attempt to deny his guilt.—But the fact was otherwise, and the whole tenor of his conduct in prison, from the time of his surrender, in July, as well as his confession, furnish the best proofs to the contrary. The trial did not last an hour, and Mr. JUSTICE HEATH having charged the Jury, the latter almost unhesitatingly returned a verdict of—GUILTY. The wretched man was then asked by the clerk of the peace, what he had to offer in an arrest of judgment by the court—to die according to law. The prisoner replied, in much agitation, “nothing beyond the false swearing of the women.” _The_ RECORDER _being absent_, a short explanation then took place upon the bench, as to the passing of the sentence. Mr. JUSTICE HEATH, who tried the prisoner, declining to perform that duty, and the COMMON SERJEANT expressing a wish to evade the painful task, never having been called upon to execute it. It was however, at length, settled that the COMMON SERJEANT should pronounce the sentence of death, and, in doing so, he addressed the prisoner to the following effect:— “_Thomas Bedworth_,—After a painful investigation of the crime which has been laid to your charge, a humane and impartial jury of your country, hearing the evidence adduced against you, as well as your own voluntary confession, have thought it their duty to find you GUILTY of the horrid crime of MURDER!
