We have seen paradcd III the New York Ir7jurr
and other prints Of tins abolition hue, the affidavit of
one of the servants of Col. WHEELLK, which state
mcut totally at variance with the iHcir, IL de-
posed III the case ID Court by respectable wiiHcssc1.
whose testimony WAS corrobOracd by all the Other
witnesses, and not attempted 10 be conradlctcH at
the time by WILLIAMsUs his Counsel. II they
ere not true, they had ample time tu have rcbu'ct
them before the Court; that they did not do - Il
proof positive that they could mo. After i"il>e "t
several lays the statement al The won.n j. made IT
for her to prop up the desperate cause of WELilH-
sOS aud cndenvur To crealc rome feeling Tor The G;'
which always must follow such nciarIUus conduct.
We have below the testimony OF Il Respectable white
man, who was employed by 'h"s" c""'yirn'",s, I"
drive the carriage, and which shows c"nciGsv"i" the
reluctance which the servants showed III bci:- th"s
rudey severed from their iru: friend, and the violent
conduct and false statement. made by WILLIAMSON
