THURSTON, United States Consul to John A. MacDonald, Esq, July 17, 1866
Telegram sent to John A. MacDonald, Esq
Toronto, July 17, 1866.
Hon. John A. MacDonald, Attorney General, West Ottawa, C. W.:
Is there any reason why Ellis, Carney, and Dillon, in prison here as Fenians, are not discharged? The evidence of their innocence is conclusive, and the report of Mr. Harrison in favor of their release. I would respectfully ask that they be discharged at once.
D. THURSTON, United States Consul.
