hereby certify, that reported the trial of Richard
II, White, who indicted in the Circuit Court Tor
Washington county, District ofColumbia for setting
fire to the Treasury Building of the United States
the Both March, 1888. From my entire recollection
of that report, which not published, and which
is not now in my possession, and, after conversing
with the gentlemen associated with me in preparing
report of the evidence of the principal witnesses at
the request of the District Attorney and the prisoners
counsel to be used for testimony one OF the trials
of said White, do not hesitate to state, as my firm
conviction and belief that there no mention made
of the name of Alexander Powell by any of the wit
nesses, nor anything stated insinuated by any of
those witnesses or the counsel engaged in the trial
in any way duplicating the said Alexander Powell
being connected with White in the burning of the
Treasury Building
also certify that at the request of Mr.. Powell, |
have carefully examined the report of Richard Ii.
Whites trial published in the National Intellgencer
of December Goth, 1886, and | find nothing in said
report concerning Alexander Powell, nor do | find
any alluson reference to him, by any of the wit
nesses, in any shape or form whatsoever.

Extraordinary event, if true.

man being restored TO life after having been fro

even, had lately passed at the foot of Mount
St. Golhard, league from Aizoli, in the valley
of Levantina AT the bottom of kind Of cav
ern, the body of a man, about thirty years of
age, was perceived under heap OF ice pro-
ceeding from an avalanche.
AS the body seemed 10 be fresh as if il had
been stihed only half an hour before, DR.. Hot
ham caused il 10 be taken out, and, having had
the clothes pulled off, ordered 1t TO be plunged
in cold wafer II was then so frozen that II
was covered with crust OF ice. 1t was then
placed in lukewarm water. Afterwards it was
mi in a warm bed, and treated as usual in cases
of suAocallon, by which means animation was
restored.
What was the astonishment of everybody
when the individual, having recovered the use
of his faculties, declared that he was Roger
Dodsworth, a son of the an,quary of the same
name, born in 1929, who, returning from Italy
in 1860, year after the death of his faiheI
was buried under an avalanche.
DR.. Holman, according TO the same account
is stated 10 have added, that Dr. DodswGrii
