had their courage and honor too
tested, for the affidavit of q
cowardly sneak to affect them in
Wichita. Clark was either bribed
by Teets or scared out of his wits,
and from the fact that Teets o ffered
$500 for his release, and the other
fact that Clark had a long private
conversation with his prisoner, our
people entertain but little doubt
that Clark was bought.-[Wichita
