lam not sure whether the partfc-
ulars of a. most remarkable case of
doubtful identity have reached you
by telegraph or mail. They are 80
peculiar and SO important in their
legal bearing as to deserve mention
even at the risk of repetition Adam
w. Smith was tried at Fitchburg,
the other day, for having obtain
ed $500 at Worcester by pass T..
ing a forged note. Ten unimpeachable
citizens testified to his being the man
who passed the note and two experts
identified as his writing the indorse-s
ment on it's back. But now came
twice ten most respectable citizens of
Dutchess County, N. Y, who swore
he was in that vicinity drivinga herd
of cattle at the time the note was
passed. His movements were all tracr
ed out and his lodging places. estab-.
lished for every night The abb was
thoroughly established and he was ac-
quilted. Itiwas. clear that he shadssas
double. 1t will remembered 4h}ys
some that very respectable witnesses
testified on the rial of Dr.. Webster
for the murder of Parkman that they
saw the supposed victim in the estreetsi
of Boston after he was dead, accord
ing to the theory of the prosecution
1t was shown in rebuttal that Mr..
George Bliss. of Springfield closely
resembled DR.. Parkman, and that he
was in the city the day mentioned by
the witnesses, and SO the defendant
was acquitted without impeachment
of the veracity of the opposing testi-
mony. The mistake was one very
like that Just made and like that which
has afforded Henry Irving one of The
