and could neither be fooled or bribed TO state
more than the truth, and consequently his
affidavit IS 1rtoIly suppressed! Nader, as
sert. as | did before examining these precious
documents, never swore as lie is represented.
Nader is a very ignorant German and might
be deceived into swearing almost anything
that a cunning jesuitical priest, or a scoun-
drel lawyer would indile for him. But IN
this instance they have not succeeded TO the
extent they hoped or would have believed.
The most material statement in his affidavit,
viz: that | Represented myselfas having urged
upon the prose cutrix that "by not obeylng
my instructions we would fail to bring the
pIiest into the penitentiary is an the original
deposited an Mr.. Thomas Office intertined
in a different Ink, Jnot in a different hand
Uriting from the body Of the affidavit; and
the public from It's knowledge OF the gentle
mans ~ScrupuIOsity in taking such afidavits
will doubtless be able to draw the properi in
ference from the fact. Thomas represents
Nader and others as swearing that spoke OF
two persons, who were ''suborned Witnesses"
IN the priest trial, as 'wiIling instruments in
my hands, whom | could use any time as !
pleased &c. Now there is not one word of.
this in The affidavit, Nader deposes as TO a
conversation about a matter entirely uncOn-
nected with the trial, in which he says spoke
of the influence | possessed over these indi-
'Eviduals, but says not one word about my rep
resenting myself as e~xerting or having any
influence TO induce them 10 commit perjury
in that or any other case. The other atlantis
statement is in substance the same as Span
ker4,s, aud only goes 10 the doubts which
this Community knows | have sometimes felt
and expressed as to the manner of the con-
nexion OF the priest and prosecutIix.
This is a fair epitome of the whole mass
of stuff deposited at the office" Of MIR. X.

; managers have shown themselves utterly des-
: titute of honesty and fair deling, aud willing
TO procure the acquittal of their priest and
church in public estimation by means, in
+ their own language, seven the most sa tanic."
Their only object is to deceive and humbug
J the public, and abuse and prosecute me with
s out responsibility. Were this EOt the case.
| they would have given the whole of these
precious afiidavits 10 the public, and no.
