arly hanged fob another. , aps the Most Remarkable Case of Mistaken Identity on Record. From th t .Y -ir York Son. v x I'haxctsco, May 10.—The death of ■don >'. Mott in this city a few days ago [| s -in almost forgotten incident in which roired in the days when the Caucasian , comparatively new to California. Mott ie hare with the first tide of gold hunters s-l'.i, and settled at Auburn, where he en .,kl in mining operations. In 1851) the 'pie wanted a County Judge, and he was •ted t<> that place. He gave such satis- Hon that a year after, when it became es. a v to choose a Circuit J udge, the ap ntmc'ut fell upon him. While he held this eo he presided at a murder trial which ■eloped one of the most remarkable cases mistaken identity ever heard of in this i prominent miner in the vicinity of ryville had cleaned up $5,000 worth of it and had started for San Francisco, IMV ] K > exacted to take ship for his home die States. On the way to this city, and ea not many miles distant from Mary [e he was attacked hv a highwayman, ed and his gold was. taken from him. ten his dead body was found a few days ;r there was intense excitement among i miners, but for a time suspicion rested in no one. Every stranger and every •and citizen was closely examined to no •pose. At length, when the authorities 1 wi ll nigh given up the idea of capturing i offender, somebody pointed out a literate looking character as the rioto us Jim Stewart, a man who was awn to be a murderer and thief, and he s arrested. As soon as the word was is<>d around that Jim Stewart was in the linity, every one knowing him said he s undoubtedly the man. Just as most tple had made up their minds that the irderer had been taken, and were con sul,sting the authorities on the result, it s learned that the prisoner denied he was •wart. To the Sheriff and to a number miners who called on him he declared it he never knew Jim Stewart and that own name was Tom Ben-due. At first his ,-y was not believed, but in the course of ie men who know Stewart began to dis te with each other on the question of ntity, and the public gave up the prob n and turned it over to the court over lieh Judge Mott presided. Hie trial was the first of much importance the State. Berdue was ably defended, and the prosecuting attorney had two or ree assistants. -So far as direct evidence is concerned there was very little. The inlc thing seemed to turn on the identity the prisoner. If it was Jim Stewart, then was guilty and must be hanged. If it was t Stewart i then the verdict was to be nc ittal. For every man produced by the ute who swore that the prisoner was Ste w: the defense brought forward a man who ore that he was not Stewart. Twenty-two ;li witnesses swore on both sides. Many them explained how they could identify ewart, One man said lie hail known Stew tin the East, and that he had a peculiar up on his shoulder, a hard substance un r the skin which, nevertheless, was raova ?. The prisoner was told to lay off his at and open his shirt. On his 'shoulder, st above the blade, was the identical lump. “Is it there?" asked the witness. “Yes," said the examiners. “Then that is Jim Stewart,” concluded e witness, confident it was settled. Other witnesses were equally positive, and r equally good reasons. It was thought at the testimony favorable to the prisoner is so strong that the jury could not con et. but in this the outsiders were mistaken, 'ter a short deliberation the twelve came to court and announced that they had und the defendant guilty of murder in e first degree. Judge Mott remanded e prisoner to jail, and fixed a day ten days advance as the time when he would pass ntence of death upon him. On the day fore this ceremony was to have taken ace some arrivals from San Fran co reported the operations of the gilance committee in that city, and nong others of its victims included the anie of the notorious Jim Stewart. Steps ere at once taken to verify this report, and was found that the vigilantes had indeed ikon, tried and exterminated the murderer ml robber. Judge Mott postponed sentenc ig his prisoner from time to time until lere was no longer a doubt that Stewart ad lxv?n banged in Sau Francisco, and then, a motion of an attorney, he gave the de endanfc anew trial, and the prosecuting at omey at once dismissed the case. Tom ierdue was glad enough to get out of the crape. He made his way to San Francisco, there the story of his adventure had pre *ded him, and for a long time he lived omfortably on the donations sympathetic leople made to him. One of thelwitnesses who swore that Ber lin was not Stewart now lives in this city, nd he says that the resemblance between lie men was most striking. In speaking of he matter to-day he said: “I can give no easonable explanation of my conviction that the prisoner was not Stewart. I simply iid not believe he was. I had seen Stewart, uul, though at first, or even at second or third glams? Berdue looked like the outlaw, there was something about him —his man ner. his speech, his gait, or what not—that did not seem to me to be the same; so I wore that he was not Stewart, though all the time I was doing it I was expecting that, hhely as not, something would turn up to prove that I was mistaken. No two men ever looked more alike. “I remember that one witness who knew Stewart well said that if the prisoner was the fellow whom they took him for they would find a long scar on his head well cov eriil by his long hair. He knew that Stew ed had that sear, because he had given him the blow that produced it. Berdue’s head was examined, and there was the identical war. Another witness identified Berdue as Stewart by looking at his hands. Ho said Btewart had short, stubby fingers, with very blunt nails, and that" there was an India ink mark on each hand between the thumb and the fore finger. Berdue had the wne fingers and nails, and there were India Uik marks in the places specified. “On the other side there were men who f"ore that the defendant was not Stewart, to’ause while the resemblance was close there were cei-tain marks on Stewart which they could not find on Berdue. I remember that one man who swore positively that the prisoner was not Stewart said that the lat wr had a big powder mark on his chin on which no beard would grow. Perdue was tooked at hy several pcoplo and at length it was announced that them were powder •Harks on his chin, but that the beard had Well-nigh concealed them. The witness who wl just sworn that the prisoner was not “art then took a look himself and said that lie believed be had made a mistake. On asking the Judge what he should do, thut worthy told him to give his best opinion in view of nil the facts. The witness stai-ted cut to explain, and after a while he got mixed up, grabbed bis hat and left the stand, puttering that he would be blessed if he knew what ho did think. Nothing was said to him as ho took his seat with the crowd, si F°°d many people, including Judge Mott, laughed a little. Bome others got mixod up in the same way. It wouldn’t hive taken much to have made all the wit nesses change places and swear against each !~T r again from different standpoints. No .S w,Ui very sure.

A Man Who Holds the Life of Every Fassenger in His Hand. From the Philadelphia Times. The traveling public have long been wont to bestow approval upon railway engineers for the self-sacrificing spirit which they ex hibit when the lives entrusted to their care are endangered, and in the annals of the rail these occurrence:'' are so frequent that \ passengers generally picture the man at the ! throttle of the locomotive us a lioro by vir- j tue of his position. These opinions are de servedly held, and it would be the grossest injustice to detract from the honor which self-abnegation always merits: but there is a class of railway employs, almost entirely unknown to passengers, whose responsibility is so much greater and whose slightest omission might jeopardize tho lives of peo ple on trains mom than any oversight on the part of conductors or engineers, that it is indeed ft range that they are so seldom mentioned in the public prints. This class is the train dispatchers, whose every order is implicitly obeyed by train men; and while the crew of one train is re sponsible for the movement of that train alone, the dispatcher holds in his hands the lives of every individual on every train on the road; ana on a road having a large traffic the duties imposed on him are very great and arduous. His position in the railway service is unique; were all trains running on time and provided for on the periodical time-table is sued by the company, he would have no duties to perform; but trains will get de layed and occasions Will arise requiring extra trains, or trains without any specified time or rights, to be ran over the road, and then his services are necessary to avoid horn’s of delay. All trains on railroads are divided in classes, according to their importance, gen erally two, passenger and freight; and all trains of one class running in a specified di rection have the right to the road,or need keep no look-out for trains of the same or a lower class running in the opposite direction. Thus it is assumed that oil a certain railroad trains running eastward have the right of way over trains runnining westward; then an east-bound passenger train can run the whole length of the road in entire disregard of all trains; another passenger train going west need only look out for the east-bouna passenger train, while the freight trains must keep out of the way of both passenger trains and of the freight train which is run ning in the direction prescribed as having the right of road. Every one understands that all traiijs are charted or have a time given for passing each station, which time can in no instance be anticipated, and hence all train men know where all other trains ought to be at any particular moment, if on time; but as trains frequently and generally get late the train of inferior class must have its move ment expedited by some extraneous cause or it may be delayed for hours awaiting a train that may have been wrecked or lias been kept back for some other of many causes. Then the duties of the train dis patcher are of importance. He will proba bly give an order to the delayed train by telegraph, directing it not to go beyond a certain place which he thinks it can reach without difficulty, and ho directs the op posing train to proceed to the same place and there pass the other train, and in that manner the trains are enabled to pass each other without any delay to either. His great responsibility cosists in that he may have a dozen other trains in his charge at the same time, and in directing one train to fo beyond its ussual place to meet another e may neglect to give an order to the sec ond train and in such an event a collision would probably ensue, much property be destroyed and probably lives be lost. It will readily be seen that the slightest mistake of a train dispatcher might cause serious results; and in this respect his re sponsibility is probably greater than that of any other individual under whose charge the public are placed. A pilot on a vessel may lose his reckoning, but the fact soon be comes apparent to others, and his capacity for misenief is thereby lessened; other rail way employes may neglect their duties, and rush head long into danger, but their associates generally realize the situation be fore any unfortunate results ensue; but the slightest behest of a train dispatcher must be obeyed without question; even though to do so would jeopardize the lives of those receiving the orders —though of course until an accident results the train men are igno rant of the fact that they have been given wrong directions. Instances of oversight of dispatchers are extremely rare—much less than of neglect of conductors and engineers to adhere to the orders given to them —and while they per form their onerous duties almost entirely unknown to the people whose lives they have in their control, and therefore never receive the meed of praise due them, travel ers ought at least be made acquainted with their duties and the important part they play in the rapid and safe movement of pas sengers. Recovering Stolen Property. From llie New York Tribune. He stood on the White Star Pier the other day just before the Adriatic sailed, a middle aged man in seedy attire, with a standing collar three sizes too large, so that his head looked like a house in a garden with a fence around it. He was present apparently on general principles and watched the crowd of passengers and leave takers uugreeted by any one. Among the passengers on deck was a very pretty girl, and with her a young man who had hurried on board to say one last word. She was bedecked with roses, which he seemed to know something about, and they watched the crowd and exchanged tender farewells. When the bells, gongs and stew ards rang the visitors off the ship the young man went down and nerebed on the pier timber where it was about one foot wide, and conversed in gestures. The middle-aged spectator-at-large stood near and seemed muen interested. A rose was requested. The pretty girl tossed one over, and it fell into the chestnut tinted liquid eomjiosing the North river. Another was thrown, and to the intense disgust of the rightful owner, the elderly man next him reached out and grabbed it, testifying his delight by sundry sniffs and kisses. , , , The fair voyager on the deck above was horrified. . “You must give me that rose, ’ said the young man indignantly. “It, was thrown to me by a friend." “You can’t have it,” answered the holder, “but,” he added consolingly, “roses is plenty; they’re flyin’ all around here.” “Gimme that rose.” “I won’t.” The young man glanced at the deck to as certain how much was likely to be heal'd, and then he said: “See here, you old pill, pass over that flower, or I’ll chuck you into tho rivor, if I have to go over too,” and he seemed all reaily to do business according to this pros pectus. There was no delay. The rose was handed promptly over. Then the Adriatic shook out her balloon jib and spinmafcer and sailed away, and a young man with a rose waved a violent farewell from tho pier to a pretty girl on tho ship. . ~ , As for the man with tho copious collar, he wandered out into Tenth avenue raid asked a policeman if it cost anything to go across the Brooklyn bridge.
