She visited him at the hotel where his
uncle had him in charge, in company
with other members OF the family, aud
besought him for all their sake TO make
q clean breast Of the whole affair. The
young man burst into tears and offered
to tell the whole story to Col. Bliss,
who was present. Lut Bliss, being the
prosecutor in the perjury case, refused
10 hear 1t. and advised him TO tell 1t to
the magistrate when lie was brought up
for examination In the morning.

knew that he was coming to New York
10 testify TO a lie. Clark volunteered
to come with him, pay his expenses,
and take him back, out Of the money he
was to receive for his testimony.
