Stunning up Of n. L. Jordan, Esg.-Tne Jury, &c. &c.
The evidence in this important trial is at length
brought to close and whether DR. Boughton il is
not the Big Thunder Of Copake, that mighty monster

by the prosecution TO impeech the character OF those
proving IT, has been decidedly and utterly futile The
general impression throughout the city is that the Dr.
will go clear. This may seem to some the effect Of
perjury but to all impartial and candid minds who have
been in attendance and heard the evidence for and
against the prisoner the conclusion be inevitable
that Big Thunder is not Dr. Boughton.
