JOHN +. BINGHAM, Notary Pubic. N. Y. 20.
STOKES WANTED MORE MONEY.
This So 900, which to forever settle the diff
hculty between Fisk and Stokes, lasted the latter
about three months. He began to need more
money His former lawyers refused, thought there
was good chance, and, in September, 1871, Stokes
gave Fisk notice that he should move to set aside
the $40 900 award. He now sent frequent threaten
Ann mo tn Els n
that he intended to "nx him." His words were
always ominous, and he boosted OF influence with
judges, &c. He said Judge lngranam would stan d
by hlm &c.
THE LETTERS Up AGAIN.
Stokes now employed Marsh ana Wallace. He dug
up the old batch Of letters which are given above.
He said ne would publish them In morning paper;
Tribune that ShanKs ana Greeley were his friends;
thas he would Fisk's Boston friends, Sir Morton
Peto &C. He said .'Jose'' knew the inside OF Erie
matters; that ''Jose" knew about Tammany, and
that "JOsie' would do wonderful things. To the
Old batch of letters ne pinned on a supplement-,
which Is included with the rest to-day.
The trial to set aside the $4,000 now came be-
fore Judge Ingraham. FISK was on hand at the
trial. His counsel, Mr.. Beach, made a motion be-
fore Judge Ingraham TO suppress the letters-that
tney were non-relevant to the case. Judge Ingra-
ham read the letters, suppressed them and returned
them to Marsh and Wallace, Stokes attorneys
STOKES STILL THREATENING.
Stokes now threatened publish them in the
newspapers; but Fisk got an Injunction from Judge
Pratt OF Brooklyn against their publication by
Stokes.
INJUNCTION AGAINST PUBLISHING THE LETTERS.
After Judge Pratt's injunction Stokes counsel
came before Judge Ingraham and announced that
they did intend continue the proceedings be-
Tore him. Their motion was accordingly dismissed,
and the whole question was submitted on argument
before Judge Brady in the other suit. But while this
suit was pending Miss Mansfield accompanied by
Stokes, appeared before Justice Blxby and
a obtained a warrant for the arrest Of Fisk on a
charge OF libel contained In an AFFIDAVIT Of Richard
+ King, which was read before Judge Brady. The
case was heard by Justice Bixby Tor several days
and on the day OF the murder Stokes own coun
Justice Bixpy. that mis- there was hopeless ant
must he abandoned. Judge Brady hau the day be
fore decided the other suit against him. and on TN
same afternoon Stokes counsel informed him tina
an Indictment mad been obtained against him iron
the Grand Jury for conspiracy to blackmah.
THE END.
The theory OF the prosecution In the coming mur
der trial Will PROBABILITY be that filled with revenge
without money, with his lawyer clamOring for pay
Stokes resolved TO take summary vengeance o.
Fisk-to shoot the man he could not injure IN tn
cOurts-to kill the man he could not reach thrOug
the CIVIL law.
