Mr. Lord tells me that Condor had evidently
thounht with much acuteness and intelligence Oi all
the poiutS that might bear in MS favor. and that
directly he entered the cell Condor commenced with
great ceameSs and eoquence to present mem; th'y
we've: -
/. That he was not taken within two miles of the
scene of the rescue
= That when taken he was marmed.
s. That the witnesses who swore 10 ms IDENTITY
were proved to have been mistaken about other mat
J. That a less number of witnesses swore to his
identity than 10 that OF the others
. That il was simply because he was known To be
an American that the Proseeutlng Attorney placed
him i'm the inst or doomed" batch OF the prisoners
These points were urged very forcibly upon Lord
