THAT FRAUD IN THE SIXTH DIS
TRYCT.

TRxCT.
The Marshall Times has this article on tbs
subject. Was Judge Thompson fully exoner-
ated from all semblance Of knowledge Of the
fraud, the more material fact remains
that the fraud was perpetrated, and thata

The game that was played with SO much
adroituess to defeat Judge Hubbard still
continues to attract . great deal OF attention
