TULLY'S CONFESSION.

We have before us q pamph let entitled "A
War Of Glasses, How to avert It, by Thomas
Aings Dsvyr." We do not know who Thomas
Aings Devyr ia but from the contents of his
book We Judge him TO be either a bad man
whose object is 10 incite the laboring classes to
riot and blood shed, or an escaped lunatic who
ought to be looked after. He devotss consider
able space to the Mollie Mcguire trials and ex-
ecutions in this state and deuounces the entire
proceedings ~ Judicial murders" In order to
carry out his argument successfully it became
necessary to show that none of these men con-
fessed the crimes of which they we're convicted.
How he does this s contained in the following,
taken from his book, page 149, ct. seq We
have only to say in regard to the question of
veracity between the Herald reporter and Mr..
Elwell, that the reporter had no knowledge
whatever Of Mr.. Elwell's actions and because
he could get no insormation from Mr.. Elwell
until the publication of the confession in the
COLUMBIAN the reporter purposely sought to
cast doubt over the genuneness Of the docu-
ment. In answer 70 the question, who wrote
confession We say it was written by counsel, in
Tully's cell, at his dictation, on Tuesday, March
18th, 1878, at nine o'clock at night, after the
Board of Pardons had refused to interfere. The
balance Of the article is so absurd as to need no
comments. Here it is in full.
