Since the close of the trial of Pearson, for the murder of his family, facts have come to the ears of the Attorney General which will tend to interfere with that executive clemency to which he was recommended by the jury who tried him. These facts are that he had, previous to committing the murder, engaged to marry a female with whom he had been for some time intimate; that this female wrote the note found upon the table, when the bodies were discovered, and further, that Pearson, either before or immediately after the murder, wrote to a friend in Providence, giving him a minute description of the dress he wore, that through this means, if his friend would assist him, an "alibi" might be proved. The female whom he had engaged to marry was present in the court room on Friday, during Chief Justice Shaw's charge to the jury.
