CIRCUMsrANrIAL EVIDENCE.

The case Of mistaken identity which
has recently come to hght-that of
Thomas Connors, who has just been
made the recipient of executive Glenn
ency, after occupying = felon's cell in
the state penltentiary for upwards of
one year. is one of those unfortunate
cases which will, properly enough, ex-
cite sympathy and comm:seratlon OF all
bcnevolently included. While instan-
ces of this kind have but rarely occurred,
yet their occurance is mono the less to
be deplorcd. Laws are made for the
personal safety, rights and property Of
the individual, and punishments are
prescribed for offenses against the
peaceable enjoyment of these blessings.
ANY error in the administration of
justice, where as in this instance an
injury may be put upon an innocent
individual. is apt to beget q suspicion of
undue haste on the part Of the officers,
and to foster the thought-prehsps un-
just and ill-considered, that vengeance
rather than punishment is the actuat-
ing principal of those whose duty it is
to dispense justice. While this thought
should not be entertained nor be al
lowed to bias opinions, yet in too many
cases imperfect Identification is given
. weight in arriving at . verdict it
should not have. Cases of mistaken
identity are so frequent and come 50
universally to the notice of all, that
evidence Of this character, should be 90
reasonably positive as to remove any
doubt, ana especially should this be SO,
where life or character are At stake.
Even if this mans past life could be
shown to have been bad, it can not
mitigate the unjust conviction ard de-
tention put upon him. Circumstances
should not be made the basis Of proof
but may properly enough link and nc
| centuato facts otherwise incomplete
no chain of circumstances howsoevei
perfect can replace or overcome positive
knowledge.
