ED. BOISE NEws-SIR: A friend ofmine
has placed in my hands slip cut, as am
informed from your paper. tits headed "A
NUT FOR CAPT. LEES TO CRACK" and recites
some falsehoods concerning me, uttered by
Page, and goes on to ask, is this the Capt.
Lees whose praise has been sounded, &c.
and closes with two liAeS of poetry. If this
article was published in your paper, COM
plain of great injustice having been done to
me thereby. / arrested these men, and Page
could have told you why he had to be called
to three times, with his own gun presented in
my hands against his persoA, before he gave
up his arms and surrendered as a prisoner.
Page and his companions were kept in pri-
vate room by means of irons and superior
force for three days to prevent their discharge
upon Habeas Corpus under the constitution
and laws of the State of California. After
Mr.. Beachy arrived with papers which were
thought TO be sufficient for the extradtion of
the prisoners, the Police Judge deemed it to
be improper to deny them the privilege of
HabeaS Corpus, or to keep them in secret
confinement, aud they were accordingly re-
placed in the CITY Prison; three days after
wards writ of Habeas Corpus was served in
their behalf. There was no corrupt PROPOSE
ton entertained by me, conditioned for their
discharge, although the prisoners we're willing
and anxious to offer better terms than those
mentioned by Page. / will not here 60 into
rehearsal Of my efforts day and night for
three weeks to effect the detention of these
men, which efforts were successful but I
have laid the whole matter before the Police
Commissioners, and / inclose you copy of
their judgment. And now beg leave to ask
you, il, after all my efforts in this case having
succeded and the murderers not having been
corruptly discharged, but sent back and exc
cuted, is it Just reward that | should be ac-
cused a thousand miles away from home,
and Witnesses, by which | could disprove it,
Of a corrupt proposition which Inever enter
tanned, and that the same should be publish
ed by all the papers on the Pacific coast, in
some cases seasoned with editorial comments,
as though the object sought was, not so much
10 punish the murderers, as to break down
Ihe character of the man to whose efforts the
bubble are mainly indebted for their arrest?
It ought not to be necessary to remind you
hat this Page in the same confession makes
himself a accessory to the murder, ard that
he STATEMENTS Of such an one should not be
eceivedyas gulh against the officer who sends
i'm to Justice. and whose acts are complete
efutation Of his falsehoods. I may further
tate that / have letter from Renton in
which he speaks of Page remarks about me,
nd denounces them as untrue. / will not
lrther trespass on your space, but ask that
s matter of justice you will give this letter
nd the inClosed Order No. so, the samepub-
city you gave to the Nut for Capt. Lees to
