show from the testimony, that the transactions upon
which this trial is based of the most infamous

wa established for the express purpose of committing
most glaring fraud upon the community. II such
the fact the design had been only too successful We
Eay" shown By the evidence that when Collier into

he admits by his receipt to Austin 1t appears that
he disposed Il at least $50 900 to Charles Wood which
there is no account except these papers, woods
