 ME. ED-Tor-liore than ten days ago the newspapers of this town in formed us that one Annie Allen, called Cornish Annie" had. on tho night previous, thrown yitiol on the lace of one George Berryman, thereby greatly injuring his face and probably causing the loss of his only eye
 Now, though it is moi ny style, or wish, to defend Miss Allen in . news paper article. l can well say that, cx- ccpt Berryman and Miss Allen, there is but one person who knows whether Miss Allen committed an ofiense CT merely defended herself from a brutal assault, and that person Ina. kept his mind to himself and is apt to do 50 until ;he proper tima. Ge;, notwitl- standing, at least, one newspaper i'm me.,iately tried, convicted and sen fenced Miss Allen, and, as appears by what Is hereafter related, District At- torney Savage and County Physician Willis have constituted themselves the eyccutioncrs of the sentence
 Miss Allen was committed to the county jail by City Recorder Cum, and, after hearing inc testimony of one witness. the Recorder continued the hearing to await the recovery of Berryman, who was suffering from the effects of the vitrol, and Miss Allen continued il jail. The Recorder ap- pointed yesterday to resume the hear ing, but, by consent of counsel, it was postponed to 10 a. m to-day. During all this time, counsel for Miss Allen had several interviews with her. and found her suffering from nervous ex- haustion and other maladics beyond his comprehension, and sought our the county physician and requested him to visit the patient and prescribe for her. But, whether for the reason that this gentle,nan's salary is not de pendent or hi5 earning it, or that Miss Allen belongs to a class of unior- tunates with which his purity cannot bear contact, or thd: he put full faith in the trial, conviation and sentence of the Record-Eritaph, he failed 10 visit the patient, and at 10 o'clock ! this morning Miss Allen pleaded that she was too sick, weakly and nervous to walk from the County Jail to the City Hall; and, thereupon, that "illustr.ous jurist," that "bulwark of virtue and terror" to all evil docrs, District Attorney Savage, informed i the Recorder that tlis sickness was a l sham, that he knew the facts, etc, etc., and the prisoner must appear. The [ Recorder, to satisiy himself, caused the County Physician to visit Miss : A!l.n in .a,,. who theTcupon reported ! Gas tLc Recorder says) that there was : nothing the matter with her that could interfere with the examination and tho officer was ordered 10 bring her up, willing CT no, and he obeyed /; but, when she arrived at the City ! Hall 1t was plain to &ll persons of common vision, not fitted with the cx- traoriinary abilities of Dr. Willis or Distric. Attorney Savage, that she was suffering intensely and was ox- trela ly weak and exhausted by the walk, and the long hour or more which she there passed in successive spasns will remain fixed on the minds of those who were present, and per- haps be imagined by others, but can not be described by me.
 am satisfied that neither of these salaried gentlemen are cruel enough to cause such suffering wilfully and shamciully. But he who seeks an office and enjoys the liberal salary thereof and, through ignorance, care, lessness or negligence, in the per forlnancc oi it's duties causes the suf- fering that l have witnessed to-day is to me, immeasurely beneath Annie Allen and the most abandoned of her class.
