BUST OF OLD BRowN.-I has been
stated that MIR. Bracket, the sculptor, of
this city, was not permitted to see John
Brown, and therefore failed in his purpose
Of securing casts for a bust of the prisoner
but the Charlestown correspondent Of the
New York Tribune tells different story.
He says:
"The adventure Of Mr. Bracket, the
sculptor, of which l have before informed
you, had the oldest possible termination.
1t is fact that, after all the watchfuness
of jailers, all the interference of citizens
all the discouragements Of Judge and
Sheriff, all the refusals to which he was
subjected, all the public determination
that he shouldn't have what he wanted,
he went away sometime yesterday with
the desired plans and measurements in his
pocket. Now I call that u tolerably
good case of successful enterprise. Fail
ing in one direction, Mr.. Bracket sought
success in another. While everybody was
looking after him as {, suspicious object,
he had transferred his instruments to
person qualified to use them, who spent
an agreeable half hour with Brown in
noting down everything that was needed.
The most amusing part of it to me is, that
now that the sculptor has gone away,
there is a considerable rev ulsion of feel
ing, and many persons express sorrow at
his disappointment, which they think he
ought not to have been made to suffer-"
How much foundation there is for this
statement we are unable to say but we
know that Mr.. Bracketti is busily at work
on his bust.-Journai
