Governor Mann has einphatically de- ried the published report sent out from Richmond that he had made a pl oposition to Beattie to grant him respite until December 2i. if he tBeattie) would make full confess sion These reports were publish ed in the sensational newspapers of New York and other cities, and stir red Governor Mann to indignation.
 Beattie was convicted solely upon iicumstantial evidence. There could be found nos one who had seen the fatal shots fired, nor any person who could deny emphatically Beat ties illogical story of the tall, beard ed stranger, the mythical person whom he charged with the murder. This doubt, in the face of damnins circum.ta tantial evidence, SO linked as to be practically conclusive, thus is cleared away by the slayers posthum- ous acknowledgement of murder that has held that interest of a. whola country.
