between the parties.
Mr.. Wilson argued the right of the counsel to
the evidence, and said that It was only q step in
that Benjamin B. Halleck took the money. After
that they proposed to connect Brown with it by
being an accessory after the fact.
Colonel Cook said that the prosecution hal
virtually abandoned the charge under W hic.I
his client was arraigned, and were fishing about
trying to get together q case on which they
might convict Brown. The prosecution did not
know IL Brown was arraigned on the charge Of
being an accessory after the fact, but that he
would plead guilty. They took too much for
granted. He was now srrsIgued for larceny, and
It was on that charge that he was being defended
