HIS MOTIVE.

People will naturally ask what his motive
was for perjury in the case. The suit of Nc
Comb vs.. Ames shows exactly what The mo-
tive was. McCOmb was at the Credit Mobil-
Ter business, and had gwen 1870 shares of the
stock to Ames, as Trustee. Ames had distrib-
uted 40 shares in various directions, and
showed receipts from every man that he had
issued stock fer, but he could show no receipt
from Garfield McComb was sueing him for
the 10 shares unaccounted for; and if Ames
could show that he had disposed of it to Gar
field, he would owe McComb but $1,000 If
he could not show this he would owe McComb
both for stock and dividends, $1,000. We
hold therefore that $1,000 was the motive
for Ames' perjury.
