Sacramento under suspicion of being
Wells tho murderer, called upon US
yesterday evening. He has with him
the most ineontrovertible proof that
he is not Wells, and that he is Donnell
Mcdonnell, and that be was in another
part of the world at the time of the
series of crimes, of which the real
Wells is doubtless guilty, were COM
mitted. Among other interesting
proofs, he has, in his possession two
photographs, one of himself and the
other Of the real criminal, and for our
parts, laying aside entirely the other
evidences of his not being the man,
We do not see how any one, even
making all allowances for the changes
of time and sickness or health, could
for moment discover any resemn
blance. While the picture he has of
Wells does not have any very great
marks of the william, still that of him.
self, which is very like him, is not u
face which we would select as that of
murderer or of criminal at all.
Having been subjected to great hard
ships and gross indignities, he of
course feels very sore, and, perhaps,
overrates the enmity of his accusers !;
yet we are inclined to believe from
his statements, that whilo under ar>
rest he has been inhumanly treated
and unnecessarily abused in person,
even were he the guilty party. His
hands and ancles are still sore from
the chains be wore, and one of his
shoulders is permanently injured from
being strained by the weight of his
manacles, which kept him 80 long in
an unnatural position.
He states that those who had him
in, custody pursued systematic
course of aggravation, as he believes
with the intention OF forcing him to
some act which would be pretexl
for shooting him down, and then
claiming the reward for Wells, deao
or alive" Conscious as he was of biE
innocence, it was with difficulty tha,
he at times restrained himself from
resistance, but now he believes b,
; owes not only his liberty but his lifi
to the meekness and coolness will
which. he conducted himself throug
all these trials.
He says that Sheriff White of thi
place, is the only officer on the rout
. from idaho to Sacramento, who trea,

Lord Mansfield.

This great magistrate, being in one OF
the counties on the circuit, poor wo-
man was indicted for witchcraft. The
inhabitants of the place were exasper-
ated against her. Some witnesses de-
posed that they had seen her walk in the
air, and with her feet upward and her
head downward. Lord Mansfield heard
the evidence with great tranquility, and
perceiving the temper Of, the people,
whom it would not have been prudent to
irritate, he then addressed them: /" | do
not doubt that this woman had walked in
the air with her feet upward, since you
have all seen it; but she has the honor
to be born in England as well as you and
/, and consequently cannot be judged
but by the laws of the country, nor pun
ished but in proportion as she has vic.
lated them. Now l know not one law
that forbids walking in the air with the
feet upward We have right to do il
with impunity; see no reason, there
fore, for this prosecution, and this poor
woman may return home when she
pleases." Her life was saved.
