cOnundrum.
Price first unloaied his sins through Jack
son s. Schultz, and some of the points oi IN
story are as follows: That he was put VI

that morning when he met Loader at judge
Morris's Office. Tlton being present thai
though he swore to the affidavit, he did no
kiss the Bible,-hc was not drunk en0usl
to do that: that Morris and Iilton coached
him about the details Of his testimony. show

remember that Mrs. Tilton was a small wo'
man. that the carpet WAS bright and snail
pattern, and that he must keep ont OF tho

Until thew sent for him. Price also SAID
that Morris gave him SO at one time, and
small sums at others,-in all $50 or so.
When the jury first came in and asked To

next morning denied the application. The
subject matter of the evidence was not stated.
| thought it proper to deny that motion,
assuming that the jury would forget that
evidence and not allow themselves to
remember it nor allow themselves to be dl--
turbed hy it. of course il is a matter that
vou do not think Of. assume that you DO
not know it. Now. would il be suitable or
