Ton with certain affidavits made by him
ana q man named Price, I'm connection with

morton Tor nolle pros. was based, as stated
Oy Inc district attorney, was that Loader
mace tie affidavit with the understanding
that IL was not to he used in court, but for
the purpose OF affecting the public mind
during the tendency OF the trial. That il
was made after the trial was closed and
while counsel was summing up; that the
trial OF the case would take three months
and he did not think the public Interests
would be benefited or the time of the court
he proftably employed, especially as ne
was conscious OF the fact if that claim were
well founded the indictment would fail. The
same order was also entered in the case OF
Price. The bond in Leaders case was can
celled and the sureties relieved.

man-speaking people has not been satisfac-
torlly settled by the assessors. The instruc-
lions OF the Secretary of State required the
German population TO be registered under
The different countries; but these distractions
were disregarded in many counties, and
since the unification OF the German ernpire
there was a general disposition TO ignore the
