The Witnesses IN the Shuster Case-Dest,natiow of
Jim Webb-1he Feeling ofhe Community, &c.
You have, ere this, been informed, that the Jury
could not agree in Shuster's case, and have been
discharged. The witnesses have all taken thei
departure, with the exception of Messrs. Stewar.
and Smith, of New York, and they leave to-mor-
row morning. The cars left them this afternoon.
Jim Webb, have been informed, will forthwith
wend his way to Louisville, Kentucky, where his
wife u.s. AS he has acquired additional notoriety,
OF late, fine speculation might be made by expos
ing him to exhibition, at two shings ahead.
AT no time was Jones or Webb in the Jail of this
county prisoner. They were gentlemen wit
nesses, and dned on the best at first rate hotel.
and not on prison fare. Nomnally, they were in
cusody-really, they were as free as | am.
The sympathy of the great bulk of the commu-
NIFTY Is with Shuster; not because people believe
him to be innocent, but because the government
compounded with rogues bad as he is, and be-
cause there seemed to be determination to crush
him alone. Our citizens desire even-handed JUS
tice. To commit Shuster would be odd-handed JUS
to trial as brace of villains, the jury would con-
Wet them without leaving their seats.
The Board of Commissioners, to adjudicate
