They are now in search of other positions instead of those which have been taken from them. It’ is impossible to tell orto know where or how far the veiled calumny in the Patriot’s words may travel. The Patriot, we mav presume, is read in all parts of the world by men. per- sonally uoacquainted with Messrs. Bagnal! and Koughan, who would te likely to befriead an Islander in search of employ- and wherever read, the Patrivt has created @ pr judice ahead of these gentlemen. The Patriot is, therefore, ia duty and in honor (if not in law) bound to state distinctly and exactly what were the causes which led to their dismissal. We challenge the Patriot to do so ; and on the part of Messrs. Bagnall and Koughan we emphatically deny its baseless and cruel

A Prisoner s Tatk with Thomas M, Bram— He is Convinced ofthe Mate’s Guilt.
The Boston G.obe prints a statement from @ yerzon confined in Charles street ji], im a cell adjoinwg that occupied by ikomas M Bram, the convicted murderer of Captain Nash, which, if true, brings out a good many points as regards the motive and circumstanegs surrounding the trag- edy, and suggests the possibility thata confession may be made if ali the pos- sible |-gal attempts to save his life shall fail. “This fhan is Charles H. Avery, ot Natick, who was committed wo ja } to await action of the grand jury on a ‘charge ot forgery and against whom ne bill was found. During confinement he kept a diary of the events and in this book he recorded conversations he had -¢ith Bram, the door of whove celi was about six inches from the window of Avery’s cell. Up n Avery's release he communicated with the district attorney and gave him the sut- stance of his couversations with Bram. By the statements laid before Dirtric: Attor- ney Hoar it is set forth the condemned murderer feared Captain Nash would “break” him for incompetence and reduce him to the rank of a common sailor; that Bram was jealous of the attention shown the second mate by Captain Nash aud the weight the captain gave the second mate’s Opinion in matters touching the tmenage~ ment of the vessel; that he was j alous of ‘he passenger Monks and the triendship of the passanger and captain’s wife; tbat he bad a fixed opinion of Bie own ‘nerve’

In these statements the coaversation with Bram i« reported, in which the latter asked what be could do if he failed to get a vew trial. He was told of a prisoner who was saved from the gallows at the last moment by appealing to tbe Christian sentiments of the public, even though on the day of his reprieve he had a written confessiou ot his crime. Bram a:ked what his chance- would be with the public if he made a confession, and was told evasively that such a course should only be taken when he had no other hope. Avery says in giv- ing his story of conversations that to the conclusion that Bram Ile went to the jail with adoubt in bis mind as to Bram’s guilt, bat from the man’s inanner and talk he firmly be- lieved he was just the man who could and did commit the crime for which he has been convicted.
