jury made by the United States attorney
against DR.. Livingston, in open court. Pee
pie who have taken the trouble to analyze

that he believed that he could not obtain 9
fair trial before Judge Shannon, and that in
their opinion it is exceedingly %presumptious
for any one to declare that any one else can
commit perjury in ~swearing to that which
he believes to be true in his OWE mind.
This morning'a proceedings in the United
States court opened on the affidavit and mo-
