TRIAL
OF COL. AARON BURR.
Circuit Court of the United States for the Fifth Circuit and District of Virginia.
Present JOHN MARSHALL, chief Justice of the United States, And CYRUS GRIFFIN, judge of the district of Virginia.
Wednesday, June 24.
Mr. E. Randolph. May it please your honors, the motion which has been so often attempted to be brought forward is now submitted to the court: It is sir for an attachment against gen. Wilkinson for endeavoring to prevent the free course of testimony. The immediate object sir is to shew that improper practices had been used—The ulterior purpose now arises after these preliminaries have been gone into—I believe sir that in cases of this kind, where strong suspicion is apparent, that improper and irregular means have been used with witnesses the attachment will go because it is absolutely in the court.
Give me leave sir to open the case as it now appears from the testimony before the court. This sir, no longer depends as first insinuated upon the testimony of Jas. Knox. It has been enlarged and enforced by the testimony of two very respectable gentlemen brought forward by gen. W. himself. Sir, if we were to have the same command and range of persons as the counsel for the prosecution, we should no doubt lay before you a full and complete history of this irregular and highly improper business.
I judge Sir, this would be our ability—I am certain sir, we should have been able to have disclosed a whole series of the most censureable transactions.—But give me leave though in this place to bestow a tribute of applause which I shall always be ready to acknowledge to the very candid and ingenious depositions of lieut. Gaines and Mr. Graham. The respectable evidence of these gentlemen has confirmed almost in every point the facts narrated by Mr. Knox.
Lieutenant Gaines Sir, a lieutenant in the army was made a deputy marshal. A lieutenant of the army is made a deputy marshal. I feel repugnance at the idea. I feel sir a repugnance at this dangerous alliance between the civil and military authority. I am not sufficiently versed sir in the policy of mixing offices of such an opposite description as the military and civil with each other. I hope sir I shall never have much occasion to be acquainted with the extraordinary policy of joining such offices together. That a man owing obedience, implicit obedience to a military commander, is to be placed in a civil capacity, and that for the single purpose of catching, and detaining unfortunate men who may happen to be summoned as witnesses in any particular cause. Sir I do not pretend to say what the purport of that paper is by the authority of which lieut. Gaines acted as deputy marshal; but I understand its principle object was to enable him to transport Mr. Knox from New Orleans to Richmond. It appears to me immaterial sir, to enter into the specification of the power by which a deputy marshal is created in a military land, for the purpose of transporting by force to Richmond, a man who has been summoned as a witness in New Orleans.
That this power was of a military nature is evident. This outrage whether it be called a military or a civil outrage, was committed after Mr. Knox had been regularly summoned.
Sir, what a mass of destruction to the rights of a private citizen is here connected between the judge and general Wilkinson. Wilkinson makes an affidavit, stating the materiality of the evidence of Knox. This affidavit he voluntarily makes, and sir, after it is made, by what means did it come into the hands of judge Hall? Who was the carrier of it? Not lieutenant Gaines. General Wilkinson, sir, was the person who carried this affidavit to judge Hall. And for what purpose, sir, was this done? To enable judge Hall to transport Mr. Knox to Richmond. Who, sir, was the executioner of the order founded on the affidavit of general Wilkinson? It was executed, sir, not by a civil officer, not by a regular deputy marshal, but by an officer under the command of general Wilkinson in a strange country, sir, and moreover, on a man already in jail, who had previously been summoned as a witness. Thus please your honor, general Wilkinson has incorporated himself with all Hall's acts. But, sir, Wilkinson has still farther connected himself in this business. Knox was
removed from jail by a military order from an officer under the command of general Wilkinson, put on board of a vessel, under the control of general Wilkinson. The same commander in chief has also drawn money from the military chest, to aid him in these transactions. Sir, you cannot view this case or any part of it, without viewing general Wilkinson as the principal actor, without viewing general Wilkinson as a military character and for a military purpose. Wilkinson assuredly considered himself as possessing power in this vessel. Observe, sir, if you please, the order which lieutenant Gaines gives. It is a written order, in a military style delivered to serjeant Dunbaugh, to take this man into custody. It was not, sir, an order of a deputy marshal. It was an order from lieutenant Gaines to a serjeant under his command, to take possession of Mr. Knox. It also appears, that no permission was given for persons on board the vessel to go on shore, but through general Wilkinson. The spirit of Wilkinson, sir, has spread itself thro' the whole of this business. The genius of Wilkinson, is apparent in every stage of the transaction. I could be at no loss at all, when I read the letter of the attorney general, to perceive the cause that induced the attorney to put so many subpoenas into his possession. Sir, is it not a little singular, that subpoenas in a criminal case, should be confided to the commander in chief of the army? Does it not seem to tell him, that he was to use those subpoenas with some degree of military authority? Why did general Wilkinson tell Mr. Gaines of the necessity of summoning Mr. Knox? Who as I have already said, carried Mr. Wilkinson's affidavit to judge Hall? It was not lieutenant Gaines, but gen. Wilkinson himself. Does not this shew, sir, that there was a temper, a wish is gen. Wilkinson, to indulge in a case perfectly civil? Why, sir, did general Wilkinson consult an attorney? Was general Wilkinson a marshal? Had money been put into his hands, to fee an attorney? No, sir, it is because general Wilkinson viewed the subject in a military form. He knew that Knox went on board unwillingly. He knew that he was prevented from coming ashore. He knew that he was anxious to come ashore; yet he suffers him to remain in the penance of a ship; in the hold, perhaps to mess with degraded people: torn from his family and his private concerns. You see, sir, then the solicitude of Mr. Wilkinson in the whole of this business. Knox has stated that he was refused liberation at Hampton, and that Dunbaugh told him that Wilkinson took the parole of honor from him. We have seen Wilkinson now in the character of a military tyrant: we shall next find him using the blandishment of a courtier to Mr. Knox. All complacency and friendship, offering him money and any service in his power in order to relieve his wants—asking him in a familiar way whether or not he was a free-mason, and thus profaning that institution by imposing on him the seal of secrecy.
It is immaterial sir in what order these things took place: it is very certain they took place. Sometimes we have seen him all softness; at other times all severity.
Sir, I beg the court to deduce from these facts the conclusion I am about to state, which is that Wilkinson caused the arrest and imprisonment of Mr. Knox—that Wilkinson executed it—that this too was done for the purpose of compelling Knox to give evidence—That this was done, sir, for the purpose of interrupting the free course of testimony.—These are the few principal facts, sir, upon which an attachment ought to proceed against gen. Wilkinson. Sir, I will not stop to look at the insinuation against Knox. He had been summoned by the U. States and was only waiting to arrange his private concerns to enable him to depart. The account, sir, which Knox has given, is free from all fault. It is really a hard case sir, that a man is to be considered at one moment as a witness, and the next moment to be regarded as a criminal.—Facts, then, sir, are fixed with respect to general Wilkinson. But it may be asked what motive Wilkinson could have had for his conduct. Was not general Wilkinson, sir, been termed one of the pivots, if not the only pivot on which this prosecution turns. The prosecution was not hazarded sir until the arrival of gen. Wilkinson, not a single witness was sent into the grand jury until he came; the grand jury had to wait several weeks for his arrival. Sir, we have already had occasion to notice the stake which gen. Wilkinson has in the issue of this business. Sir, the truth is, the names of Burr and Wilkinson are now antipodes to each other by the act of Wilkinson himself. Wilkinson is convinced he never will regain his meridian of brightness unless he can throw Mr. Burr into darkness. Like some mock-god he must fall from his imaginary glories tumbling amidst ruins and into a chaos of rubbish which he himself has occasioned. Thus sir, we have established what gen. Wilkinson has done, and have established also his motives. Give me now leave to
shew, sir, that all these amount to a contempt of court.
Mr. Randolph then read several passages from Hawkin's, to prove, it was always recommended that no needless force should be used in making arrest, and that every species of unnecessary force on the compelling of witnesses to attend, in order to give depositions, was deemed by Hawkin's a contempt of court.
What would have been the language of Hawkin's (said Mr. Randolph) in this case, where we see a man who had been regularly summoned, dragged before a person who is called a magistrate, compelled by this magistrate to give bail for his appearance next day, in an enormous sum, and thus done without the shadow of a cause or the pretence of a crime, afterwards by this same magistrate, committed to jail in a sultry climate, among felons and negroes; then taken out by the arm of military authority, escorted by a military guard, and placed in the hands of a gentleman, who although a military officer, was vested with the singular power of a deputy marshal, by this same judge, for the express purpose of executing this tyrannical act.—This gentleman too, this officer of the army and deputy marshal, was under the command of gen. Wilkinson. The vessel and all on board of her, were under the control of Wilkinson. General Wilkinson's authority, was the only law known to those on board of that vessel, in which the unfortunate Mr. Knox was placed. What, sir, would the writers on canon law in England, have said to this? Sir, there has never yet been any thing done in that country, which bears resemblance to this arbitrary and illegal arrest. There never was in this country before an example of the kind. The extraordinary measure was reserved for the purpose of being interwoven with those laurels, which surround the brow of gen. Wilkinson. Our position then, sir, is from these authorities, and from the facts which we have stated, to prove that gen. Wilkinson has been guilty of an high contempt in the cause now pending before this court.
The authorities which I have cited expressly declare, first, that every compulsion and coercion, deserves the censure of the court. Second, that no force is to be used where the witness is willing to attend.
Every species of compulsion or force is censureable. Then, sir, what was done by Mr. Hall is censureable. The act which he committed with regard to the imprisonment of Mr. Knox, and every person who aided him and participated in the transaction, was guilty of a contempt of court. But who, let me ask, sir, do we behold as the principal agent, the prime mover of the business? Was it not general Wilkinson? Sir, when I look at the circumstances which have been related, when I view the facts which have taken place I am astonished at the boldness of this man. Affidavits, sir, affidavits are called for as if they never had been satisfied. What, sir, was the object of these affidavits? Was it not to entangle their prisoner by first compelling him to commit himself by an affidavit, which he could not afterwards retract. Strength and presence of mind in a person placed as Mr. Knox was in N. Orleans, are not to be expected.—This man was in a strange country, and that country too subject to military despotism, to the despotism of general Wilkinson—He was in want of many things, in want of necessaries, in want of money, and in want of friends. Viewing his situation it might be supposed by them, that the affidavit which he would give, would be of a different description, from that which should be given in a court of justice, in a country where law and order were preserved, and where the testimony of the citizen was not compelled, as at New Orleans at the point of the bayonet. This sir, was their real object in obtaining this affidavit from Mr. Knox; for they calculated that a regard for uniformity in evidence, and for his own reputation, would prevent him afterwards from contradicting any fact to which he had deposed. Sir, there is not a more dangerous measure in this country than to force a man to give an affidavit.—What, sir, I beseech you must be the force of that man's mind, balancing between the love of truth and a regard for his character, when called upon to give evidence, which will induce to give a candid statement of facts, without regard to any previous affidavit which may have been forced from him.
Mr. Randolph made several beautiful illustrations of the danger in a free country of compelling witnesses to give affidavits, which our limits prevent us from narrating—He concluded nearly as follows:
It is impossible, sir, not to feel a degree of indignation at the conduct which has been practised towards Mr. Knox. It forms a part of the basis of our independence, that military force should not sport with civil rights. If these things have been by the wisest of our countrymen execrated; if they are execrated by that people from whom we have borrowed our laws and our constitution, from that na-
tion which have taught us freedom and all the blessings of liberty, I hope they will be execrated by this court; I trust, sir, they will incur your severest censure, for I say if these things are tolerated in the green tree, what will not be tolerated in the old? Remember, sir; you will remember it I know, for you have foresight and judgment, if such proceedings as have been displayed in this case do not receive the most pointed censure, our children will repent of it, and you, sir, will be regarded as the author.
Mr. M'Rea replied to Mr. Randolph in a speech of considerable length, ingenuity and merit.
Mr. Botts answered the arguments of Mr. M'Rea.
We regret on account of the multiplicity of matter about to press upon us that we have not room for the speeches of these gentlemen.
When Mr. Botts was in the middle of his reply to Mr. M'Rea—The Grand Jury entered about 3 o'clock—After their names were called over, Mr. John Randolph, the foreman, delivered the four indictments to the clerk of the court, who read them as follows:
Indictment against Aaron Burr for High Treason—True Bill—Indictment against Aaron Burr for Misdemeanor—True Bill—Indictment against Blannerhasset for High Treason—True Bill—Indictment against Blannerhasset for Misdemeanor—True Bill—Mr. John Randolph then stated to the court that although they had returned true bills on the four indictments which had been laid before them, yet they had other business to deliberate upon which might occupy them for several days.
After Mr. Botts had concluded his argument, Mr. Hay moved for the commitment of col. Burr for High Treason.
Col. Burr rose and observed he should state to the court their privilege of allowing bail, as he could prove by a witness present that the indictment was obtained by perjury.
A discussion of the power of the court with respect to bail in cases where the punishment was death then took place and continued for several hours.
The court were of opinion that they were vested with the power of giving bail according to circumstances and usages of law.
Whether the case of col. Burr could admit of bail was a question postponed for consideration until next day.
Col. Burr was then committed into the charge of the marshal, who attended him to col. B's lodgings, where, having dined, he was given into the charge of two deputy marshals who conducted him in a carriage to the public jail. He arrived at the jail about nine o'clock at night and was put by Mr. Rose, the keeper of the jail, into the debtor's apartment. Centinels were afterwards placed round the jail.
(Debate of this day to be continued.)
THURSDAY, June 25.
The court was opened at a quarter past eleven.
Mr. Botts rose and stated to the court that the business of the day would be very important. He observed that as they could not proceed without the presence of col. Burr, he should move for a writ of habeas corpus to bring up his body.
Mr. Hay observed that an attachment had been moved by Mr. Randolph against general Wilkinson. He said that in his opinion the offence which general Wilkinson had committed, to constitute a contempt, had never been specified by the gentlemen on the other side. That they had been repeatedly urged to state the offence of which general Wilkinson had been guilty; but in place of specifying or stating particular facts, they had contented themselves merely by declamation. He believed, however, that on a fair and candid examination of the case, that the motion had no foundation, either in law or justice. Mr. Hay then said before he would enter into the examination of this extraordinary measure, he would ask, by whom the motion had been made. Was this motion made at the instance of the officers of the U. S. No, sir, not a word had been said or a complaint made by them upon the subject. The motion was made at the instance of colonel Burr alone. Col. Burr had not said, or could not say, that he had suffered by the introduction of this witness. From what motive, then, was this motion made? The motion was obviously made to make an impression on the public mind that general Wilkinson, whose testimony was so material in the present case, was a man who had committed every species of violence.
Mr. Hay said, that if any contempt had been made, it was made by colonel Burr and his counsel, in making this motion.

and, that there would be more propriety in him, if it was not to interrupt the business of the court, to move against col. Burr for contempt.
The Court here observed that they would listen to any motion which he might make, that the present business might be waved.
The counsel for col. Burr also observed that they would have no objections to any motion Mr. Hay might make.
Mr. Hay then remarked, that although he might with propriety move against col. Burr, yet it was not his disposition to do so.
He proceeded with his argument. He said, even although the facts with which general Wilkinson was charged, were admitted; he asked, whether or not, they could constitute a contempt of this court. There was one species of treatment to a witness, which might be called a contempt of the court, viz: any means which would be used to prevent a witness coming to court. If a person, for example, when coming up the capitol hill to this court, was interrupted and prevented from attending. That this act, would be truly a contempt of court and should merit punishment. He therefore, contended that according to the testimony of the only witness brought forward on the part of the prosecution, the court would not pronounce general W. guilty of a contempt. The case, about which so much was said, and so much odium was thrown upon general Wilkinson, was in reality, one, in which general Wilkinson had no agency, or concern. That judge Hall and lieutenant Gaines, were the sole actors. That it was very improbable general Wilkinson, if he had intended to interfere in the affair, would have applied to Mr. Hall, a person, who was no ways friendly to his views. Judge Hall committed Knox, not to military authority, but to the marshal of the state, and the marshal of the state committed him to the charge of lieutenant Gaines, whom he deputed to act, on this occasion, as deputy marshal.
Here some discussion took place, between the counsel on both sides, as to the question whether lieutenant Gaines was deputed by the marshal, or by judge Hall.
Lieutenant Gaines was therefore called for, but was out of court.
Mr. M c Rea in the mean time took the opportunity of making an eulogium on the character of judge Hall, and wished to prove to the court, that he was a man of integrity and talents.
The Chief Justice thought it would be extremely improper to enter into an investigation of the character of judge Hall. That it was extremely foreign to the present question.
Mr. Martin. If the gentleman pleases, we shall allow judge Hall to be an angel.
Mr. Batts said, that if any judge in Virginia, was to conduct himself as judge Hall, he ought to have his licence revoked. Whether he was a tool of Wilkinson, or not, was an affair to be judged of by the court.
Mr. Hay observed, he would certainly vindicate at all times the conduct and character of judge Hall.
Chief Justice. This is a matter of which the court has nothing to do with.
Mr. Hay proceeded. He said it appeared that general Wilkinson, who had been the subject of so many complaints, and much loud invective, had advised lieutenant Gaines to apply to counsel for advice. He thought that was a circumstance highly in favor of general Wilkinson who, at that time, could never have supposed that his conduct would afterwards become a subject of legal investigation; and particularly by Mr. Burr, who, in place of an accused person, was to become a public prosecutor. Mr. Hay said, whether gen. Wilkinson's conduct at New Orleans was, in all things, justifiable, he presumed, was a question not to be decided by this court. He observed, he would take up the subject entirely upon the testimony of the witness introduced by the prosecution. If Knox had not obeyed the process, he would have been liable to an attachment; and yet, by the argument of the gentlemen, general Wilkinson was liable to an attachment for making him come. This was in reality making the law blow cold and hot at the same time. It was somewhat singular when the gentlemen on the other side had been addressing the court on a motion of a description entirely novel; they never entered into a specification of what a contempt of court was, or what act constituted a contempt of court. Nothing of the kind was shewn by them. Mr. Hay then stated what appeared to him to be a contempt of court; and read several authorities to shew what was the legal description of a contempt of court.
Col. Burr now entered into court, attended by two deputy marshals.
Mr. Hay proceeded, and read several of the authorities, to shew what a contempt of court was. He likewise cited Blackstone's opinion on this subject. Mr. Hay narrated an instance of a case which occurred in Frederickburg. Some young men were brought before the court on a charge of murder. The grand jury found a true bill. They were ordered into the custody of the jailor. When they went out, they went where they pleased. The jailor was ordered before the court for contempt of court. The defence of the jailor was, that he regarded himself as the person responsible, and as the young men had attended at the hour required, that he had performed his duty. The jailor was acquitted.
Mr. Hay concluded by making several severe remarks on the speech of Mr. Randolph.
The grand jury entered at one o'clock. After the names were called over,
Mr. John Randolph, the foreman addressed the court. 'May it please the court the grand jury have been informed by a witness that that there is in possession of Aaron Burr, who is now present in court, a letter from general James Wilkinson dated the 13th of May, written in cypher, which letter the grand jury think will afford to them information on matters now under consideration. The grand jury therefore wish to know whether the court sees any impropriety, or if it be legal, that Aaron Burr should deliver up this letter, if it contain matter criminating himself.'
Chief Justice. Certainly no man can be called upon to produce evidence which may criminate himself; but if col. Burr thinks proper voluntarily to produce any letter which the grand jury may require—the court sees no impropriety in his doing so.
Col. Burr. With respect to any information, letters or papers, which may have been given to me in confidence, I do not regard myself authorised to communicate them. Whether any legal process may enforce me is not now the question; but so long as I retain those principles of honor to which I have always been accustomed I can never regard myself responsible for any consideration to disclose matters that have been so confided. I certainly can never tolerate such an idea, or harbor such a sentiment.
Mr. John Randolph. Shall the grand jury withdraw and wait the opinion of the court.
Chief Justice. No man can be compelled to deliver testimony which may criminate himself; but it does not appear to the court that a person although indicted can refuse to give testimony against others, which may not criminate himself. Altho' col. Burr stands indicted, yet at present I do not know any authority by which his testimony could be debarred.
Mr. John Randolph. The grand jury will therefore retire and submit their request to the deliberation of the court. [To be continued.]

BALTIMORE, June 28. By the pilot who brought up the brig Meteor, which arrived on Saturday last from Norfolk, we have been informed that a party of marines &c from the British ships of war lying in Hampton roads, had landed within ten miles of Norfolk, and stolen about 40 head of horse and cattle; and that, in consequence, a troop of horse and a company of foot had marched from that borough for the purpose of preventing a repetition of such thievish acts.

IN obedience to the request of sundry inhabitants of this town the citizens are hereby invited to convene at the Court-House square on Thursday next, at twelve o'clock, in order to make a public expression of the general sensation produced by the unexampled insult and outrage committed on the United States' frigate Chesapeake, by the British ship of war Leopard.
JONAH THOMPSON, Mayor. June 30.
At a meeting of the Rife corps of the town of Alexandria, held the 27th June, 1807, capt. John Bonsal chairman, and A. Lindo sec'ry. the following resolutions were unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That we believe it the wish of our government, and the interest of our country, to cultivate peace and friendship with all nations, if it can be effected without surrendering our sovereignty.
Resolved, That the tyrannic conduct of the British nation on the ocean has justly rendered her odious among all civilized powers.
Resolved, That we view the late savage and dastardly outrage committed by the Leopard, British ship of war on the United States frigate Chesapeake, with due indignation.
Resolved, That we conceive it our bounded duty at this awful crisis, to express our sentiments, that our government may not be at a loss to find out the true friends to America that are willing to embark in her cause, to convince that haughty nation that the spirit of '76 yet reigns in their hearts.
Resolved, That, as a Volunteer Corps we do tender our services to the President of the United States; pledging ourselves never to disgrace the American Flag when unfurled; and that we will hold ourselves in readiness, at a moment's warning, to obey the call of honor, in defence of our national dignity.
Resolved, That the resolutions entered into at a meeting of the citizens of Norfolk, command our respect.
Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting be transmitted by the Chairman to the President of the United States, and that they be published in the newspapers of this town.
JOHN BONSAL, Chairman. A. LINDO, Secretary.

In consequence of some letters received by the last arrivals from London, the articles of coffee, sugar, and ashes, have experienced a considerable depression in our market. (Boston Gaz.)
Extract of a letter from London, received per the Packet.
Money is scarce, and is hoarded up in consequence of the peculiar danger of the times. Public affairs on the continent, I am inclined to hope, and to think, look more favorable; the success of France appears to have received at least a severe check, but our own internal squabbles are sources of great anxiety, leaving abundantly too much resort for apprehensions of what may be the consequence. As a nation or as an individual, I have reason to think no serious inconvenience has arisen or is likely to arise in this country, from the recent hostile prohibition of Bonaparte. The produce of every country finds its way to this market. Remittances, orders, consignments, still come, perhaps as abundant as ever, tho' not so direct. In short, we only appear to want unanimity, prudence and energy, in the conduct of state affairs, to place us in an enviable situation compared with the rest of Europe (perhaps with the rest of the world.) As it is, I am positively ashamed to send you our periodical prints, which are filled with untruths and misrepresentations by both parties: dirty, rascally, mean squabbles of great men, who ought to know better than quarrel for unstable honor and dirty pelf. Murders, rapes, robberies, cheating of every description, contentions for places, and recitals of every thing vile, despicable and degrading to human nature, yet such things are, and we continue to be highly favored as a nation.
"The Paris Argus of the 23d April, in announcing the receipt of information of the re-
jection of the British treaty by the American administration, observes that this act is an evidence that the Americans are becoming more and more jealous of their maritime independence. It proceeds thus: The French Imperial Decree which orders the confiscation of all English merchandise found in ports occupied by the French armies, had excited apprehensions that some American property might be involved in it, but the explanation since given have fully satisfied the merchants of the U. States. All news coming from the continent of Europe, is greedily caught up there. From this eagerness it may be seen that the nations apparently the greatest strangers to this war, have a real interest in the success of the cause of the French, and the Americans above all have already to congratulate themselves that the greatness of the efforts which the English government is obliged to make against France, obliges it to relax from the tyranny which it exercised over their trade."

A Report of the Trial of Thomas Oliver Selfridge, Esq.
On an indictment for Manslaughter, for killing Mr. Charles Austin, on the Public Exchange, in Boston Aug. 4, 1806
THE lively interest which this extraordinary occurrence had excited in the public mind, called for a full and impartial statement of facts, both in the development of the testimony, and the pleadings which took place at the trial. This injunction appears to have been fulfilled in the present publication, as it comes from the press, sanctioned by the official reporter of the state, and under the supervision of the court itself. The public are therefore presented with all the documents necessary to form a correct understanding of the subject as well in relation to the unhappy catastrophe, as to the course and operation of the laws, in cases of this nature.
At the same place may be had,
A Correct Statement of the whole Preliminary Controversy, between Thomas Oliver Selfridge, and Benjamin Austin, (father of the deceased C. Austin.)
By Thomas Oliver Selfridge.
"He takes my life, When he doth take the means whereby I live."
This pamphlet embraces a variety of matter, immediately relevant to the unhappy occurrence, which deprived Mr. Charles Austin of life; in which the author, in vindicating his conduct in this extraordinary affair, is drawn into a retrospection of the general character of Benjamin Austin. In adopting this mode, Mr. Selfridge has given loose to a boldness of asperity, seldom found in the writings of our best authors, and which reflect great credit on his genius and learning.
Price of the Report—1 Dollar.
Price of the Statement—37 1-2 Cents. June 27. eo3w

He had on when he went away a pair of patched cloth trousers, a roundabout of red spotted cotton, lined through with country cotton and yarn, and shoes nailed all round.
Negro WINNY, his wife, is about 20 years of age, low as to stature, stout made, large breasts, thick lips, coal black.
