03/21/1832
Departed this life, near Helena, Phillips co., sometime between the 27th and 29th of Jan., Mr. Benjamin Burress, in the 54th year of his age. He left Mr. Mooney's near town, on Friday, the 27th, and by some means got lost, and on Sunday the 29th he was found dead. It was supposed that he froze to death, as the weather was at that time extremely cold.

A disconsolate wife is left to mourn the loss of an affectionate husband, and a large family of children are bereaved of a kind and indulgent parent. Mr. Burress has long been a useful member of the Methodist Church, but he is now gone to reap his reward for his most excellent time in this world. "Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord, for they rest from their labors and their works do follow thee." - Com.

 
03/21/1832 DIED - In Independence county, on the 8th inst., Mrs. Patsey Magness, wife of Jonathan Magness, aged 74 years, much regretted by a large circle of friends and acquaintances.
 
03/21/1832 For the Arkansas Gazette-
William Stephenson, was hung, in St. Francis county, on the 7th Ult., agreeable to sentence, for the crime of Horse Stealing.

This wretched man has been in custody since last summer, under three several indictments, viz: Horse- Stealing, Burglary, and Forgery, and, at a special term of the Circuit Court, held the first Monday of January, Judge Bates, presiding, - he was tried on the first indictment, found guilty, and sentenced to be hung.

Some excitement was produced and considerable sympathy felt for his fate, but such was his general character, that none were inclined to claim for him the Executive clemency, consequently the awful sentence of the law was carried into effect, and was witnessed by a large portion of the citizens, with a profound respect for the dignity of the laws. When he was brought from his place of confinement to the gallows, his wretched appearance aroused an involuntary exclamation of "poor wretch!" Many hearts were softened to the melting point until the wretched criminal began to disclose some of his horrid deeds. In addition to the crime for which he was about to suffer, he acknowledged having taken the life of three of his fellow creatures - one in New Orleans, one on the Mississippi river, and another in this Territory - to some of which he pretended to plead justification, and the right he ought not to suffer death for the for the crime of which he was convicted.

He claimed of the Sheriff the last moments, and a strong hope of relief was visible in his countenance until the last. The drop fell at one and a half minutes before the expiration of the time, and the wretched man was launched into Eternity, praying to his God for pardon.

Some doubts had existed as to his real name, and initials on his arms were examined and found to differ from the name he has borne. On the right arm was the capitals "P.P. & W.A." and the emblem of liberty, and one the left, was "W.A.S.P." His struggle in death was uncommonly severe, and offered singular phenomena. The pulse was sixty to the minute, at eight minutes, and very distinct at thirteen minutes, after the drop fell.
