lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD
SYRACUSE. n. Y. Oct. ~. 1879.
Tho case Of Orlando Greenfield. the alleged muir
derer of his wife, is, in many respects one of the
most remarkable that has occurred in this vicinity.
During the former trial amount OF false swearing
and undoubted perjury has been committed that is
really astonishing Three OF the witnesses for the
defence have been indicted for the crime of perjury
in Oswego county. The attorney for the people to-
day caused sensation. although attempt was
made to keep it quiet. by commencing proceedings
for perjury against T. d. Wyman, the main witness
for Greenfield. who testified Wednesday. His
was presented to-day to the Grand Jury OF
this county, now sitting at the Court House.
where the murder trial is in progress. and
twenty witnesses arc on hand to secure
his indictment for perjury. Counsel for
became alarmed lest tho jury trying Greenfield
should hear of it. They procured the services OF
Frank Hscock. member OF Congress, to plead with
District Attorney White OF this county, to delay the
perjury proceedings until the Greenfield jury has
rendered its verdict. Such consent was given and
tho case OF Wyman will rest until next week.
