Mr.. Capron read the charges that Mr..
Corbin made against him. and an
swered them by showing that he was
not guilty of what Mr.. Corbin had al
legged of him, but confessed that he
had gambled, and that too repeatedly,
with Mr.. Corhin. He made many
charges against Mr.. Corbin which we

not be occupied by gamblers and
bribe- takers.
