James Thompson, alias “Jim Clifford,” who was executed on the 31st ult., at San Juan del Norte, or Greytown, for the robbery, in conjunction with his accomplices, Phillips and Powers, of P. Lafargue, to the amount of $27,350, confessed that he had been in a State Prison in the United States, and was subsequently under sentence of death in that country.
He also confessed to a recent highway robbery in Panama, and to having planned, in conjunction with Phillips, the robbery of the house of Beschor & Co., which was to have been attempted within a few days. He was notorious for his numerous robberies on the Mississippi river. He was a young man of prepossessing appearance, well educated, and formerly lived in Charlestown, Mass., but his whereabouts has not been known for many years.
His parents are both dead, and his father was formerly a highly respectable merchant on Long Wharf. [Boston Atlas.]
