Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1876-04-05

This man, whose enoleavor to act the
burglar has resulted in an unexpectedly
truthful representation of Peter the Her.
nit, is 4 native of Troy, New York. and
is Of irish parentage. He kept hotel and
WAS a gambler. and at last gravitatel by
moral attraction to New York City.
While the " home testimony" us it may
be called, made out a case against Miles.
vet us long As the confederate, Curley, had
peachcd and revealed the story rs no out
slider could know it, Of course the case be-
came, SO for AS the public is concerned, the
story of Curley, corroborated Ivy that of
the other witnesses. We gave Curley's
story last week which, rs told on the stand
WAS doubtless rs nearly a repetition rs he
could make it Of the affidavit We give
below. it having been the foundation of the
scheme by which Miles and King,land
came to grief and the tolls Of which
" Worcester sam :" has rs yet avoided.
