Another reason why it should be preferred pre-

Extraordinary Conflict of Testimony as
to Personal Identity.

We received by telegraph en- Tuesday Of
last week, intelligence Of the acquittal at
Merrittsville, c.. W, of William Townsend,
so called, tried on one of the charges of
murder which have been brought against
him, as the leaner of gang Of desperadoes
who ravaged portion of Canda Wet, after
the manner of the brgands in Spain ii. the
generation just gone by, More than a hun
dred witnesses were examined on the trial,
the great point being whether the prisoner
was Townsend, the b.oodstained burglar and
highwayman, or whether he was Robert J.
McHenry, an honest and respectable man.
Who was in California in 1854, at the time
Of the murder for which he was tried.
For the prosecution, very many witness
es swore in the most absolute terms, that
they saw Townsend before and after the
murder of Nelleis, on which the prisoner is
on trial, and with equal absoluteness, that
the prisoner was the nan. On the other hand.
abont fifty testified that they had known
him as Robert j. MclIenry. Some of the
witnesses testified that they had known
Townsend many years-from his boyhood
till lS54-and that the prisoner was not
Townsend, and they pointed out differences
III the personal appearances Of the two men.
David Dewar Townsend's step father, testi-
fled decidedly that the prisoner was not
Townsend The testimony of some of the
witnesses that the prisoner was McHenry,
and not Townsend. was quite circumstantial
in character; and the verdict of acquital
was fully justified by their evidence The
Buffalo Express attributes the wholesale
swearing OF the government witnesses to
the inspiration of reward of five thousand
dollars which had been offered. On Tues
day night, Sylvester Doane, witness for
the prosecution, was waylaid in the woods
and nearly murdered.
