phatically that he intends to fight his
case through to a conclusion. He re.
marked to a reporter: II am COM
PEELED in going to trial to bear the
otfenses of every other man charged
with the same offense. The prosecu-
ton boosted that if they can convict
me it will be easy to convict Hugh
Smith, Connolly, James NJ. Sweeney
and others. l suppose it will be, il
they can catch any of them. The
others know we'll enough that if am
not convicted they will never be pro-
secuted, and SO [ have not only all
their sins to bear, but all their expenses
to pay. Why don't the newspapers
say something of the others?" Tweed
trial will probably not occur until next
year.
