HAMPSHIRE County, Set:

Samuel O. Hendron, made oath ac-
cording to law, before me justice &c.
that he was born 10 Shenandoah coun-
,y, and resided in that county, and on
the borders of it, except two years tin
January, 1882, and is now about II
years of age. He knew BLAcKLET
MARTIN well from his boyhood, till
he (Mar.in) left the county Of She.
nandoah. Martin bore then always
the character Of an honest man.
Affiant well recollects the charge Of
stealing Corn preferred against Mar.
tin by JAMES KAHN, the result Of which
was the honorable acquittal Of Martin
by the justices before whom he ap-
peared on the warrant of arrest. The
prosecution did not at all injure Mar.
tins character. The opinion Of the
community was that Kain had been
guilty OF perjury, and many thought
and since said, that Kain himself had
stolen the corn, which he charged
Martin with having stolen. Affiant
knew Kain and his character we'll I'M
til Kain left that part Of the county
about four years ago-time not ex-
aclIy recolIected. Kain is a man Of
the most infamous character, he has
been repeatedly prosecuted for char.
ges of stealing, &c. Warrants have
been repeatedly issued for his appre-
tension !; on all which occasions he
Observation-Disclosures his residence and
eluded the prosecution. Atlantis well
satisfied that Kain would not be believ.
ed on oath where he is known, and
hos heard, that Col. Carson swore in
court, at Woodstock, that he would not
believe Kahn on oath. 1t is oaly a
few weeks since that Affiant being in
Frederick was told, by magistrate OF
that county, that Kain who now resides
near Middleton had recently been de.
tec,ed in an attempt as it was believed
to steal some fat sheep-he Ksia was
seen to come out Of thickei, un-
der suspicious circumstances, and on
search it was found that he had sew.
eral fat sheep which belonged to a
neighbouring farmer pened up in con-
cealed place. Affiant knows that Kahn
is now considered rogue 10 the neigh
bourhood where he resides. Ia short,
Affiant had he been examined as a
witness in the cause recently tried be-
tween B. Martin and w. Dougherty,
would have testified and will at any
proper time testify, that Kahn is
wholly unworthy of belief on oath.
