CONSTITUTIONALISM
SUNDAY MOIININO. AUG. 11,1807
THE TOEN B) LL.
It w.ri i-i the aming of 1804 that Uic-in
cidcnta which I am al.otit to relate occir - -
rd. I was at that tiine postmaster in the
town of L 11. An unusual warm spell
of weather liatl canied away much of the
snow, the loads very muddy, and ren
dered the i rave’iug very had. i thought of
this as I c’o.vd the shutters, about!) o’clock
In the evu> : ig, and also lamembered that,
as it was Wedne tday, the stage from C
was due at 8, but ow ;, ig to the bad going
iu was not yet in. I the.eforc determbicd
that Iwo tld, as I had oi.cn done before,
lock the out door and thp door between
the inner and outer rooms, ami leaving a
light burning, go 10 sleep, trusting to the
d -iver to wake me by rattling the door.
It seemed but a few moments, so sound'y
had I slept, ere I was awakened by a
pound ug on the door. Glancing at the
ciock, wiiidi stood opposite, I discovered, -
however, that it was one o’clock in the
morning, and that I had been asleep nearly
four hoe' s. As 1 hurried toward tiie door,
I put my hard into my pocket for the key
and found it was erapiy. The two door
keys and both the keys of my safe, all of
which I had when I weut to sleep, were
gone. Stepping to a rear door, in the lock
of which I always kept the key, I found
that also locked and the key gone. This
so surprised me that for a few seconds I re
mained on the spot, utterly unable to do
any ihbig to solve the mystery. Prom tips
state I was aroused by renewed pounding
on the door. There was but one available
mode of exit from my prison, and that was
through aside window. Throwing up the
sash, I sprang out and hurried around to
where I expected to find the driver. Mys
teries seemed to have no end, for instead of
meeting the driver I came upon an excited
crowd of about twenty. My appearance
was the signal for all to commence telling
me the cause of their excitement. Silence
was, however, at last obtained, and then
the Sheriff told me in a few words as possi
ble the state of affairs.
It scents that one of the physicians of the
town, Dr. Smith, was returning from a pro
longed visit to a patient, and when about a
mile from the town, heard in the road ahead
of him a pistol .shot. Hurrying on, the
stage, for Width I was waiting, was drawn
up by the side of .the road, ami in the mid
dle of the rottd the body of a man. Bringing
his lantern near the face, he found that it
was the driver, aud tluvt he was dead, hav
ing been shot through, tlie head. lie found
the robes, &c.,of the team scattered around
on the ground, as was also the mail bag,
but the latter had been unlocked, not cut
open, aud the contents were gone. He lifted
2>t-u)ccklji €^nDtituttonrtlis;.
Itiic body up aud placed it in the stage, and
was just starting on for assistance, when he
saw a revolver lying near by, which, from
the fact that one barrel had lieen discharged,
lie decided was the weapon with which the
deed had been committed. Arrived iu town,
he aroused the Sheriff and a few neighbors;
and while sonic were dispatched with the
body the Sheriff had gone to my house after
me. Finding I was not there, they had
come to the office, and just as I joined them
theibody arrived.
This was the substance of the facts re
lated to me. It seemed strange that the
Sheriff' should have gone to my liou .e in
stead of after the l>ody, and I was about to
so express myself, when he stepped for
ward, and, laying his hand on my shoulder,
said:
“I arrest you, John Blanchard, for the
murder of Charles Smith, stage driver.”
If he had struck me I should not have
been more surprised. I t'-iec' to leason with
him, but, although be was very civil, he was
equally firm, and the result was Unit I spent
the remainder of the night ill the county
jail, which building was situated in L ,
that being the shire town. The examina
tion the next morning elicited the following
rather carious facts:
When the Sheriff'searched my person, he
was surprised to find no Keys, ami indeed 110
wallet or memorandum book. Sending to
inv assistant, he obtained the door keys,
but the sale keys could not be found, and
my clerk declared that I, always cairicd
them with the. Upon entering, they found
that tiie letters were all gone, the money
drawer empty, and a'few stamps, which iho
clerk in ormed t hem tve always km, out of
the s:i a; at night, missing. And no trace
could be found of the safe keys. Supposing
that I had disposed of them in order that
the trace of my guilt, which it was laLuv J
for granted 1 had concea'ed in j,hca|ll

Hfk possession a United States mail kev.— 1
Fe'' r 'l> that l had not been home during the 1
evening, and when si’>rmoiicd at the
post, office, I delay'd so long in inak’ng my :
appearace.
To combat tfiesg facts, I argued that the 1
st&e ot - the office proved conclusively that <
it had -been robbed ; and Mini without '■
doubt tffakiysand revolver had been taken
at that time. Also, that, 110 t.a< cos any of
the stolen a. deles was found about me, my
house, or my office ; and that Un liierif 1
had desired to rob the mail, I might, have
waited until it had arrived at the office, wed
thus saved myself the crime of min A/v. J
Against the third statement, 1 told tlje >
soil of my remaining in the office so kiiyg I
and brought forward witnesses to prove 1
that f-often did so on Wednesday evenings, 1
iu order that the mail might be delay ed as :
little as possible. Further/that t iie leaGou?
of my remki< ; iig so long in the office, was
that 1 could not open the door, mid brought
forward the fact that the keys were wW
ing, to sustain my dtxtlaraijou.
Although these a gcr W 're*liy i»-
the ground ff-y, a : h
were so far so that I was ivh a,soil on bailmi' 1
live thousand dollars, which l rca lily ob- l
tained. By consent of the Post Office Dc- <
partnient, 1 turned the alfai'-s tn' the office '
over to my assistant. 1 was thus iVe- 1
to pursue every meat’s to prove my in no ’
ceucc, which 1 felt could only he done by '•
discovering the guilty pa, i.y. i
1 accordingly placed ihe best of detec- 1
tives at work, with orders to communicate I
1) me the first suspicion that they enter- I
tained, for 1 found that it was anytiiinglmt
coin*bi table u> be looked upon as a mnr- 1
derer, tibhough 1 knew that 1 was i,llllO- 1

Thus 111 roe weeks passed without any- :
tli'nig of interest occuiriug, and at the eml ‘
of that time 1 could endure the suspense 110 ■
longer. Therefore, l wrote (o ail old friend
«f mine, who was then 011 the deleciivc
force of 1* ,at i, , and together
we sat about the search.

carcielly removed the paper. O ’ me un
derside we discover’d, as*r nad expected, j
the letters “J. 8..” *»ocli blu t d from we.- a
ting, but si" 'l legible. My .'ie.nl agreed
with me that it was a vc y itn >O. m u <fis- »
cove.y, and in order to p css it to ward, we
called in the landlord a.id questioned li'.n. 1
He remembered luui ig re ceived the bill
tl at morning, and miner questioned iron
account of the tea r. On be :ig asked to de
scribe the man, he said :
“ As near as I can recollcc. lie was about
live feet ten inches i 1 heig,i,,a nl quite stout
iu propoi.ion. He was < .0 sal cm rely : ,i
black. The oii'y pccul'ar ma.k tn.it I
noticeil was a d ep sea • . r 1 ' ig- across If s
•face, and Ids leu, eye was gon —iiie place ,
being supplied by a piece of black silk,
which he showed very p a'ldy when he
w ’.liked.”
I think I must have sta vud vc y pe can
tibly, when 1 heard inis degcr’..noil, for I
recognized the man ini mediately as a rimer
for the fi mi of Bagiev & Nason, of Bost on, f
who had been in our tow .1 for a week pre
vious to the murder, and had le.t ihe same
morn ng. IBs own name was Janies Burn
ham.
As we could lea .1 nothing more from the
landlord, s rve that he had heard him order
the hacknian 1 > drive to the Boston depot,
we disndssed him, and held a consultation.
We both agreed that it was best to go im
mediately to Boston, sec Bagley & Nason, 1
aud if possible, lea; nos Burnham’s where- J
abouts. Carrying out tiffs plau, we learned
from the firm the follow mg facts:
James Burnham was a good, reliable
business man. He had been in the' r em
ployment for about fi ,;een years, and they
were willing to trust him with any amount
of their funds. He was now in Vermont,
where he had been since having-L , .
and had not to their certain knowledge
been at G .
This rather perplexed us, but at last we
determined that lie must have deceived his
employers ; and although we did not think
that we liad sufficient cause to arrest him, 1
still we determined to track him. With
this purpose, we weut to Vermont, and fell
in with him at Montpelier. For a week we
observed his every motion, ]>ut at the end
of that time had discovered nothing, save,
that he would stay iu the town about oiie
week longer. Feeling that my friend was
fully capable of watching him alone, I deter
mined to go to Boston to see if I could learn
anything new; and accordingly on the
morning of the 21st of April, left having
first ar ranged a system of cypher, by which
we could communicate with each other if
occasion required it.
Early on the morning of the 22d, I was
standing on the steps of the Hotel,
when a pajier dropped at my feet, apparently
from one of the upper windows. Stooping
down, I picked it up, but discovered that It
was but an envelope, and was about to drop
it when the name upon it caught my eye.—
It was that of a leading merchant oi' L .
Looking up at the window, I saw to my
surprise the face of James Burnham, and
that he Itmied-deadly pale when Jie saw
me. Fee'iug certain that he knew my er
rand, 1 saw that it would be safe to let him
escape me no longer. I immediately deter
rrffned on having him arrested at all haz
ards. Hu'dedly writing a dispatch which
to the operator would read, “Join mein
Portland to-morrow. Immediately upon the
receipt of tli’s you may close the bargain
which I spoke to yeiu about yesterdaybut
to my friend, “James Burnham is iu Bos
ton. Why are you not? I have a clue. —
Shad arrest him iin mediately.” I sent it to
He telegraph office, and then hurried to the
pul'ce station. Here I told my story in as
ievv words as pos 'ibie, and in fiueen minutes
no j was at the door of the room from
which t lie envelope liad come. A noise of
b mie one moving rapidly about, told us that
. ie occupant was still there.
The door of the room was not fastened,
but as the officers approached, Burnham
siu'ung to do so ; but they were 100 quick
fo* Iff m, aud had entered before he could
get ii, done. As we came In, he stepped
back, and bi 110 geutle tones, demanded the
(liecause of the intrusion. In answer to
b'm. r>i“’_jjicer said:
AkJu.'lw.-c you,- James Burnham, for the
of Charles Smith and the robbery
po-'t office at D , on the night of
HPklfffh of Match last;.”
PVTltc effect was'ihsgiotancous. lie turned
bleadly pale, and sah'c into a chair near try,
but af.c - a moment roused lrimse’f and
t.a'd:
“ You have m s staken your man. My
name is not James Bu iiliaiu, iml Wil’ia n
Clime.”
We < onslder ibis, however, as but an at
tempt to huffy us, and he was accordingly
led away. The search which followed
brought to light considerable money in
lf."s and a number of checks, many of them
p. yaffle to certain liierckams iu L , and
some of them from citizens of L , pay
*able to jiersons living ?n Boston.
I immediately telegraphed the particulars
of the a rest to my rieud, and lie janed me
rest morning.: but the strangest of all,
Ji ,n ” j'u.) iib ni. c //«j uiih h m, and then I
saw that it was a case of nffslaken identity.
Bat it was not to be wondered at, for I
liFpk I never saw two men look more alike.
We a 1 so telegraphed . the .landlord at
G , a »d ff'ii. iicttrtt tlibig we bad lieglect

tiffs at appeared that lie w r as a noto

bad b eu Hing for a time in the country,
and iliai while there, accidentally hearing
that .valuable ma'l matter wonkl ai rive in
the m:ff' Asnii C —, had determitieil ou

wide circuit lie came back to Boston, aud

evening that 1 did. When I picked up the
envelope he recognized me, and made up

prepa iug to do so when a rest >d.
A few days more saw me back t o L ,
my innocence fully established, but I could
not be prevailed upon again to assume the
