going to do my duty, that i had received all the
threats and ntimdations that could be offered and
they did not frignten me- IN an interview ", w,. nt
evidence given in the suit Of Polhamus 4
three different aidavits and that the papers were
all made out, and we were liable to arrest at any mo-
making counter AFFIDAVIT; went TO Mr.. Raphaels
office and asked him how he had got INTO TINS mat
the names of Britton, Madison, Potter, Kimba and
Carroll on it, ana Jackson remarked to Raphael 81
am going to send all those men 70 the State PRISON.;
Raphael told me that Jackson was powerful, pOliti-
cally and financially and would do what he said and
that the only way could save myself was to make
counter afidavit as the others had done; l went to
Mr. Sandford's ONCE and asked to see the three con-
ncting af1davits made by Rea and Mr. Klmballs
anG wn SoW he a. make such
an AFFIDAVIT saying also, "You, Kimball have
right TO swear yourself away but you have no right
way for me TO save myself; by this time the sweat
began to pour or me aud signed the affidavit now
would rather cut my arm OF than to sign 1t; told
Sanford did not like to sign it and he shrugged
his shoulders and said, 'DO as you please;" asked
Mr. Sanford after signing it what position that
placed me in with regard TO perjury and he replied
that he was not criminal lawyer and could give me
no indemnity or information on the subject; after
we left Raphael promised me that the whole affair
should he Kept profound secret: the statement in
my afIidavit Of June 3, TO the effect that | never
heard the compensation referred to as having taken
place between Jackson and Rea Is not
true. (Mr. StOughtOn here read the ALL
davit, taking up each OF the allegations
and asking witness specifically as to the truth or
fasehood Of each, and the witness replied to each
lnterrogatory that the avermens were not true. On
June made another AFFIDAVIT; had been previous
ly to Mr. Sandford's Office and had told Mr.. More
house, the notary, that my AFFIDAVIT was wrong and
did me great injustice; knew that had sworn my
self away far as anything had formerly testified
outrageous and gross fraud upon myself that they
did me injustice, and that therefore, wanted to get
II back; at the court house told Mr.. Sanford that
If the first affidavit was read IN court, and should
be called again to testify, should testify that 1t was
false and that i had sworn to 1t undcrcOmpulsion
and fear.
