tied, and from. which that probably was cut,
had been found at the public house in Hartford,
where he put up while there But it strikes us
that this fact rather confirms the belief of the
robbery. 1t is reasonable to suppose that the
robbers were aware of the fact of his having
the money, and what place SO likely to obtain
that information as the house where he put up
and transacted his business? There the plan
might have been matured, and arrangements
made to carry it into execution This would
account for the cord being found there We
would, therefore, advise our Hartford friends
to ascertain whether some other persons did
not put up at the house while Avery did, and
leave there about the same time and, if so,
to take such other measures as will determine
whether there is any other cause for suspect
ing them.
Since writing tho above, wo have received
the Hartford Mirror of the day before yester-
day, from which we find that the editor still be-
lieves that no robbery has been committed
He propounds TO Avery the following queries
We ask you, Mr. Avery, to prove to us
that you brought with you from Vermont over
0UO dollars. 1t you had, on your arrival at |
Hartford, as you say that you told h1r Cooley I
you had, (but which statement Mr. Cooley de- |
nles) about 1900 dollars, why did you purchase
so much of your wool a credit? In one of
your purchases on credit, why did you, when
you engaged to pay the two gentlemen, with
whom you made u contract, Immediately on
your return, add as you was about to leave
them, 9" IT yoa did not get rOb6ed.p Did You
not obtain your SIN hundred dollars of the bank |
at st. Adams, and did you secure your endors- t
er, except by mortgagng a piece of land. I
which he afterwards found had been previous
iy mortgaged for four hundred dollars, and is
that land worth $3.50 Did you not tell your
creditors generally, on your return to Vermont
that you could never pay them one dollar unless
your money should be recovered-and did you
not assign all the property you was possessed
OF to your two partners in trade-can you
show that, independently of your large debt in
Boston, you could pay your other creditors so
per cent. even with the money to aid you
which you profess TO have lost :"
We shall wait to see what answers will be
--~ -; hose questions apd in the. mean time
would express hope that the investigation may
elicit the truth of the case, and that no improp-
er imputations may rest on the shoulders of
the innocent
