War. 1t is understood that they desired the
punishment of Ferry and Donahuo to DO as
light as possible, but the principal pressure
had reference to Col. North. The Secretary
submitted to them such evidence as was DO
fore him. which is said to have staggered
their hopes Of nm easy escape. tic referred
them to the Military Commission for further
information. and gave them permits to visit

ged, Ms a matter OF policy, the release of the
prisoners. referring to the great popularity
of Col. North in New York. and said the
trial would only lead to irritation. md pos
sibly, more serious disturbances. The Judge
pressed hard to know the evidence in the
Judge Advocates hands, but to no purpose.
He was shown certain papers found in Col
onel North's Office, similar to those seized ut
Baltimore. Judge Parker said these could
not convict him. The Judge Advocate re-
plied that that was for the trial to determine.
Judge Parker then pressed to have the trial
postponed until after tho election. but the
Judge Advocate was equally determined
against this. II is surmised that much proof
was destroyed, rs they had thirty-six hours
notice.
