CLOSING REMARKS OF Mr.. DoUGHERrT.
Mr.. CONsIssIosER-I have but fe~ words to gay
in this sitter. / am conscious it is an important
Investigation II s worthy of the time and attention
you have given to it In this your first you have
Ireferved great dignity of office 80 that when your
IGNORED sire Is lad 10 the grave, your name will live in
AL the glory of its predecessor. To any clear mind
teye can be no doubt as 10 the identity Of Michael
Brown ! am sure that Mr. Gstchell jr., would not
fer fifty slaves, as man of honor and Christian
an compTumse ii. character by asserting that this
young man IL bis fsthers ,lave Here is Mr. CIR ,ham
resident If Baltimore, who knew Mr.. Gatchen who
ev Mi hae Brown says under os'b, tba, this young
mNnwas NJ. Gotchel slave, and was publicly known
as such. What testimony does the opposite side offer
10 couoboraei Tue stsements all 20 sh Jw that the
sitnssses all know him by The name OF Michael Brown

comparatively worthless II the boy be freeman
Why lave they not brought his parents, his sisters

Mr.. DoUgbtrty closed with some very eloquen. re-
Urrks, when Mr.. PIERCE rose and said:
Mr.. Commissioner - No tine for sympathy are
