Palmer, cannot all of them be true, or recopel.

murder. That Palmer had some knowlod.e'u
the murder, there can be no doubt: and tie Yea.

Hatch must evidently refer to another scheme.
entirely distinct from this: and both stories show
that MIR. White was marked out, either for ROB.
berry or murder, by persons between whom there
was no concurrence or cOnneXiOn. Thus the

accident, with which that conspiracy had no con.

it is now known. are innocent Of crime, only from

of a mountebank, who advertised that lie ~OuId
show the way to make Free Masuns.' lie had
obtained no license from the council for his exbi'
bition. Several hundred persons collected OppO
site 80 the Washington Hall, where the show wa:
to be seen, with no apparent object and little
noise. Crackers were however fired oil, and
some of the Town Council and the Sheriff thought
it proper to dispense the assemblage, in doing
which a man was carried to the watch house.
This led to a tumult and a rescue. The door o.
the watch house was forced. and the rioters did
not disperse until one O'Clock in the morning
several indictments will probably grow out Of th'
affair. The Snowman has been prosecuted tO
