Greene states in his narrative, to which he
has made cath, thai he left Pittsburg on the |
23d Of October; that he was at Richmond On
the 26th; was at Harper's Ferry, on his re-
turn, on the Goth; that he spent two days in |
Carroll county, Nd, with some relatives. and |
then returned home. Compare this with Mr. |
Dunlap's statement, second paragraph, and
it will be seen that his statement cannot be
true, and that the story of his being at Rich
mond at al is q sheer fabrication. |

care and caution which are so highly COM
mendableina minister of the gospel, deter.
