He andhis associate, Thomas Daily, had visited*' thehouse of Mr. Barton for the purpose of robbing' it, when the crime was committed. We take our' particulars from the Syracuse Journal:The confession to made about three weeks;ago, but was kept is.ecret for obvious reasons.—•,Welsh and Daily hiad been prowling about Syracuse all the last fall and winter, “on and off.”’Daily gives the following account:—“We were in the ‘sub1 [substitute] business last spring.

The goods were secretedunder a bridge in tihe First ward. On Monday the goods were mostly disposed of at the storeof Levy, on Salina street. We got a boy to wheel them down in a wheel-barrow. On Monday ffight we went to Carroll's and staid until about teno’clock, then started to go to New York, but .Ifound that the police had arrested some of the*^ i ( parties to the First Ward %urglary, and also that,they were after us, they having found that wewere concerned in the burglary.” !On Friday night they had' made arrangementsto take the train at 12a5 midnight; but on look-}ing over their money found that they hod only$14; and determined to “hang up” some one1before starting.
