The case will ever remain most memor.
able one in the annals of crime, not only for
the fearful tragedy OF January 80, but for the
disgusting revelations that have been made
in the course of the Investigations, and the
immense amount of perjury of the rankest
kind that has been committed. The old
rule, "1n the mouth OF two or three Witness
shall every word be established" will not
answer in this case. a tremendous array of
