THE CEAIG-BRIANT CAsE-The trial of
VIM. C-aii and Geo w. Briant for present
ing false claim for horses and mules, was
continued in the nal Court, Judge Mac
Arthur. yesterday. After recess, when Capt.
John William was under examination, he
asked permission TO refresh ms memory from
his memorandum book. Gen. Butler read
IT, when the fact was shown that Briant
after being arrested, was inyeigled to the
witness room. where parties were concealed
TO listen TO what statements might be made
by bin. TO be used as evidence against him.
Gen. Butler said now they asked the court
10 become party to such a transaction and
become party 10 this stolen testimony. He
submitted that such evidence should not be
heard, for no man, no matter how blameless
bis life might have been, would be safe If
this class of testimony is to be received.
District Attorney Wells said that this wit
ness bad been ca lied a thrice-admit;ed per-
Jurer, but his manner was in his favor. He
would not condemn nor defend the methods
of the detectives, and did not think the OBJ
lection was material.
The Court said he had little sympathy with
the Wholesale denunciations hurled at de-
tectives in all criminal proceedings. They
should be upright men, and are powerful
siODs of a party should be freely ms de. and
he charged that If the statement of this de-
fendant had been obtained by entr tpping
i'm, then IL was obnoxious to the law res-
timony of this kind should not be used here,
or anywhere else so he should take the evil
dence out OF the case and from the jury.
The testimony Of the witness was then re-
sumed, and he testified that he had no fur
th6r cOnvt rsatiOn with Briant than occurred
In the room, but had with Col Craig at ST.
Louis. Craig promised 10 send the witness
funds when he reached this city, where it
was awaiting him. Col. Craig paid him alto
gether about S659
