The girl declined his addresses, and he said if he did not have her no one else should.

After he had inflicted the first wound, which was not immediately fatal, she begged for her life, but seeing him resolved, asked for time to pray.

He said that he would pray for both, and completed the crime.

The wounds were inflicted by a shoemaker's knife, and her throat was cut barbarously.

After this he dropped on his knees some time, and prayed God to have mercy on two unfortunate lovers.
He made no attempt to escape, and confessed the crime.
