J 4S ' iJ.'ti; “^1 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 could 1101, In 1 discover'd, locksmith, and aucr This I. lli.it • irtn ■n 'ff fllilP' 9 '4.

Second, that the bag was , JAud not cut open, show dig i hat, l been done by some one iiav hig hi 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 cent. 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. A week passed without Ivingbig more to light, and causing us <0 ds pond, for we Lfigired that the mu-deer hud covered Ids ■[HBUt so (hat it. would lie iiepn . i,le to We had been town k iivoduys BUty of G , and be 5 ig aboiit tn ri d tiie iiiiM I office 111 m'i iu’N . dll", wa • enr-ide,. r bed 1..1'. iiail be.' : .

CaVi ig my j fiiend, we went, into a side Ico.ll. and t here , 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.

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 duties of post-master, and my former assist ant was appointed.
