' THE MAIL BOBBERS.
The 'Boise Cily 'IStatewan, with the
impudence of the devil and the ignor
anco, of a jac:as3, publishes the follow
ing: .
Wo publish today a statement in
regard to Thompson, Bramlette, "While
and Hanson, convicted of robbing the
Canyon City and Dalles stage, at An
telope canyon last Summer. It appears
psy.anew mat nas Deen denied, and
tkM Lprisofiers have been sentenced to
ju iue pemienuary ior me
of their natural lives. The
aliBiMb2s?:

tenccMromitirst to last. We reaa all.
the testimony in the case as published
in the Oregonian. The testimony was
circumstantial in every particular, and
not a fact proven but what might be
put up against the defendants by the
ingenuity of detectives, or those who
had an interest in procuring a convic
tion. It looks a good deal as it the
conviction was procured more through
prejudice than a real desire to arrive
at the truth. The Portland papers
seem to be dumbfounded by any ver
sion from the defendants, except a pro
test of innocence. Tho Oregonian
rays each of the defendants expressed a
hope that the mystery enshrouding
the case would at last be unraveled,
and the guilty parties brought to jns
tice. This is poor consolation for inno
cent men, and if there is anything
which enshrouds the case, which is
generally conceded by those who fudge
lrom an impartial standpoint, it should
have been unraveled before the defend
ants were subjected to condign punish
ment, or they should have been sat at
liberty. It is better that the guilty go
clear, than that tho innocent should
sufler, and the press does a great
wrong in submitting with so rjuch
stupidity to a verdict founded hpon
uncertain evidence.
Nine tenths of all criminals protest
their innocence when they hopj for
pardon. Tins is no reason why,they
are not cuiltr. The editor of the
'tatesman says he has read the evi-
ence in the Oregonian. That paper
did not pretend to give all tlu evi
dence ; and if it was all given, is he a
letter judge of the guilt or innocence
cf the accused than twelvo jurymen
and the Judge? Tie tin'.hia, there
were many important facts shown the
Judge and jury that have never been
printed. The boots of Bramlette,
which are unlike any that were ever
made by mortal man, were shown the
Court and jury. The shoes, and the
lacks in tho shoes oi Hanson were
shown the jury, and as good men as
any in Uregon testined the boots ot
ramlette and the shoes of Hansen in
rery particular fitted the tracks pre
selv. The pistol of Tompkins and
ramlette was found on the trail where
tlese tracks existed, and the pistol
was proven to have been in the posses
sion ot lompkins by a man wlio
worked for him only a 6hort time be
fore the robbery. He had no interest
injthe prosecution, and reiuscd to come
tOthe trial until brought by an attach
ment. Two estimable ladies testified
thev knew Tompkins' voice, and that
ha, did the talking at the time ot the
robbery. Thiee witnesses for the
prosecution and two of the defendants'
witnesses testified to the commission
of the robbery, and twenty-two witues-
ses testined to facts and circumstances
which tended to show the prisoners
wi-re guilty of robbing the mail, be.
yond airreasonaUle doub"tr"Notwith.
standing all this, this hired editor of
the Statesman says "there was not a
fact proven but what might be put up
against the defendants," and that "it
looks a good deal as if the conviction
was procured more through prejudice
th n a real desire to arrive at the
tr th." It may loot like prejudice to
a lired editor who, without regard to
tr th, sends forth his opinions ; but to
th Court, jury, and spectators, who
h( rd tho whole trial, it looks like the
re . perpetrators of Jhe crime were
ot j getting their just dues.
'he United States employed in this
ca more than ordinary care to elicit
th truth. As soon as the Attorney
G icral of the United States was in
fo acd of the robbery, he commissioned
B ?. Dowell to prosecute jthc robbers
a gave him special instructions to
t: s the usual oath prescribed for tho
r ular U. S. District Attorneys, and
tiirocced to the neighborhood where
robbery "was committed, and to
fiet out the real perpetrators of the
cfie. Mr. Dowell took the oath, and
immediately proceeded to the seigh-.
,borhood where the crime waSjConmitr
ted. He heard the statements cf the
friends andfqesof the prisoners is to
tho facts and circumstances. Ho ex
amined the tracks of tbe boots, shoes
and horses, on the gronnd. He became
satisfied that the prisoners novrin tho

a moral certainty. JiMlge'Hummason
V -a
was also employed in the prosecution.
He knows all the witnesses, and is per
fectly satisfied of the prisoners' guilt.
Mr. Dowell, Ex Governor Gibbs, Judge
Hnmmason, and Judge Deady, have all
had more than twentv years experience
in the investigation of the acts and
doings of criminals and witnesses.
They are better qualified to judge of
the guilt or innocence of these peniten
tiary birds than is the editor of the
Boise Statesman.
It is truo the most of the evidence
was circumstantial ; the corfessions of
Bramlette and the voice of Tompkins
arc positive and unequivocal evidence ;
and the wisdom and experience of ages
attest the truth ot the fact of circum
stantial evidence when proven by a
large number of witnesses, as in this
case are more reliable than the direct
evidence of one, or even two witnesses.
One or two witnesses may swear false
ly and deceive the Judge and jury,
but a combination of circumstances
cannot lie, and can scarcely deceive
any Judge or intelligent jury.
It is obvious that all facts and cir
cumstances which have really hap
pened were perfectly consistent with
each other, for they did actually so ex
ist. The facts proven in this case show
it impossible foFthese defendants to be
innocent. Who could imitate Tomp
kins' voice? How could Bramlette
tell tho boots that were jvorn by tho
robbers when those bools were both
made for the left foot, ind one was
worn on the right, without being pres
ent at the time the tracksjwere made?
How could he tell the route they went
unless he had been present? How could
he tell the exact size of) the horses'
tracks unless these identical horses
made the tracks? How? could each
nail in the shoes of Hanxn precisely
fit the tracks unless they vere worn by
the owner? These are known and as
certained" facts, proven bt more than
a dozen disinterested witnesses. They
so coincide and agree with! the guilt of
the prisoners as to render the truth of
any other hypothesis, on ther principles
of reason and experience, exceedingly
remote and ' improbable, and morally,
though not absolutely and metaphysic
ally impossible. "When a fact is thus
proven, wtthont any other evidence tho
law says the guilt of the prisoners is
established as a moral truth. Tbis is
all that has ever been required of judge
or jury. Add to this the general very
bad character of the prisoners, and all
the other facts and circumstances that
were proven, and no candid man ought
to doubt their guilt.
TKe"presTTn thevicinity of where
these facts were proven showed more
good sense in submitting, and remain
ing qniet, although friendly to the pris
oners, than the Boise Statesman does
to be hired to abuse them. If the
Statesman means to deal fair, and to
give the devil his due, we would ad
vise him not only to read the account
in the Oregonian. but also tbe account
given in the Herald, which was pub
lished at the same time, and to noto
the difference; and also to examine the
notes of the Judge, and then he will
plainly seo his own stitpidity, and he
may come to the conclusion that no
wrong has been done by Jadge, jury
or press.

Tho Portland Bulletin of a late date
says:
Every new branch of industry that
is opened in our State marks a stage
of progress. For a year past prepara
tions have been making to put m oper
ation at Salem a largo establishment
for the manufacture of agricultural im
plements and machinery. This estab
lishment will go into operation at tho
beginning of the coming year. The
arrangements that have been made are
intended to be sufficient for the manu
facture of $80,000 to $100,000 worth of
implements and machinery during the
year 1873. The importance of such
an enterprise as this cannot be over
rated. Under proper management it
will gfow to greati proportions, and
will constitute one of the most import,
ant manufacturing establishments in
the Slate. It will be a great and be
neficent enterprise for Salem, and Its
benefits will be felt throughout a largo
section ot country. t
