MYSTERIES or THE ToMBs-pRURY's TRIaL.-
We do not think it necessary 10 make specific
or very loud call upon our readers, TO notice the
strange Developments which have been brought
OUT on the trial of Dgury, going on before Judge
Edmonds, during these last two days. The re-
marksble character of the evidence, and the new
view which il gives of these mysterious proceed
ings, Will awaken fresh and deepened interest TO
know the secrets of the WHOLE embracing all those
trials which are connected any degree with IT.
There is ne necessity, no hurry in forming an
opinion, or Of giving utterance 10 decision on
these matters until the trial of Drury shall be far-
ly completed The public mind however, cannot
resist its first impressions, withhold ITS FIRST con-
vicuons. The people are listening TO that trial,
reading the evidence, holding up their hands In as
constituent, and gradually coming to that conclu-
sion which We always anticipated, from certain
mysterious events would be the only result of
these wonderful mysteries and curious secrets of
stoolpgeonism
The evidence brought out yesterday-given in
foil IN our colnmns-is equally interesting. 1t dis
closes avery sorry attempt OF Mr.. Clarke, one of
the counsel, 10 father one of his blunders, re-
lative TO George Wilkes, upon our very accurate
and competent reporter. Our reporter most eiiec-
tually settles the lawyer. AS to the exact position
OF Wilkes in this business, short time will dis
close its exact length, breadth and thickness The
dawn approaches.
