The Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1837-1867, 1854-06-03

| The counsel for the defence introduced four
or five witnesses who testified without hcsita-
ton that thew saw Burns in Boston the first
of March, some of whom showed from
entries in account books that they had paid
him for labor as early as the 4th and 10th OF
March, RECRUITING testimony was commence
ed, but it amounted to little or nothing -lcav
inc it somewhat certain that the claim is
fraudulent one. or at least. that there is
mistake in the time OF his alleged escape; an
informaity, if the latter supposition be The
correct one, that NAV lead to the prisoners
release.
On this day, Tuesday, the excitement was
less than on the day previous on account Of
the hope excited by the introduction of the
testimony proving that Burns was in Boston
twenty days before the time the witness
brought on by the master to prove his identi-
ty asserted he escaped from bondage. The
military from Fort independence Gu. s.
troop>) and other places, were still doing
guard duty.
