Il McDoNALp, charged with causing the
death Of W Parker at Louis, has been discharged from
custody nothing appearing IN the testimony TO Sustain the
charge against him
CURIOUS FACT CONCERNING COMMERCIAL Cor
REspoSDENCg.-.A merchant III Baltimore had
transactions with another in New Orleans, which
resulted in lawsuit, in which the latter sued the
former On arriving at New Orleans to defend
the suit brought against him, the Baltimorean DIS
covered that his antagonist, the plaintiff had no
stronger evidence to offer than copy OF u letter
said to have been received from the defendant
wherein he acknowledged himself indebted to the
plaintiff in the sum of $4,000. The plaintiff was
unable to produce the original letter entire, as he
asserted part of it had by some accident, been
destroyed but the copy it was affirmed was a
faithful transcript of the original, beng preserved
in regular copying book, wherein the contents
of all letters received were Transcribed by COM
petent person; to evidence the truth of which fl e
clerks of the plaintiff were brought to the stand,
who testified that the volume before the Court
was the vertable book in question, and to the best
Of their knowledge and belief the letter therein
contained was true and actual copy OF the org
lnal. TO render the proof still more complete a
witness was produced who testified under oath
that the copy in the book was put there by his
own hand, and faithfully transcribed from the
original letter received from the defendant The
evidence appeared to be conclusive, and the case
Of the poor Baltimorean hopeless, when, to the
confusion of the plaintiff and the amazement of
all present, his counsel suddenly produced mot
the original letter, to be sure( but one ident-
cal with it that the mutiated fragment before the
Court, brought there as evidence a .dinst the de-
fendant became the greatest witness in hls favor.
" Let nc direct your attention. gentlemen OF the
iury," observed the counsel, to this book which
| hold in my hand. 1t is called manifold writ
er The fragment of the letter which the PLAIN
tiff has brought in evidence against my client, II
it was ever written By him, must match precisely
and to hair with the copy contained III this let
ter writer. If they do thus MATCH then 1t Is the
genuine letter written by my client, and this VII
ter must consequently contain the conclusiOn-
the leaves in the Manifold Writer arc transparent
now by placing the fragment before the Court
underneath the transparent leaf containing the
copy, not only erery WOrd but likewise every letter
may be clearly discovered, and the one is seen to
be the perfect fac-simile of the other, consequent
ly both must have been produced at the same III
slant of time, and by the simultaneous stroke of
the pen.' On comparing them together as d.
rected by the counsel, both the Judge and Jury
were peiectly satisfied that the Manifold Writer
was the true and unlmpeachable witness in the
case. a verdict was immediately rendered III
favor Of the defendant, the missing part IN the
original letter here supplied by the Manifold Wri.
ter altered the complexion of the story entirely
The error Of the plaintiffs clerk in copying the
letter IN the above case must have been gross
mistake or forgery. Be it as it may, it fully
illustrates the advantage of the Manifold Writer
to business men, having IN the above case saved
the Baltmorean from the loss of $4,000. The
copies produced by 1t are III every instance perfect
faC-slmlles OF the original rather IN point of fac
the letter in the Manifold Writer is as truly the
oRIGIHAL the cle sent TO the correspondent, be-
cause they are both written by the same pen, at
the same instant. The copies are produced with
out any additional trouble or expense to the wri
ter IN every color OF nix all is indebe and as
egible as if written in the ordinary way The
articles above alluded to are manufactured by l..
