Il believe O'Mailcy can get fair trial.
The people Of New Orleans were the most
loug-sutTering and patient Parkerson had

accused could obtain u fair trial. There
was in this community an immense prelu-
dice against iury-bnbers and perjurers,
and as O'Mallcy was generally regarded as
Of these there was naturally prejudice
against him. Notwithstanding this II re-
