SELF-ADMITTED PERJURY. = During the
trial in the Superior Court yesterday after
noon of William Sprout, for burglary,
Thomas Bluitt, colored lad who had identi-
fed a coat before the Police Court which
belonged to Sprout and was left when the
burglary was committed, surprised the Dis
trict Attorney and Court by stating while on
the witness stand that he swore false before
the Police Court and knew nothing about the
coat, ETC., and further stating that the reason
for his testifying before as he did was that he
was hired to do so by a local police officer,
who offered to give him half there was made
out of his conviction. This at once broke
down the case on the part of the State, as it
severed the chain of evidence necessary for
conviction, and verdict of not guilty was
rendered by the jury, and the District Attor.
ney had Bluitt at once arrested for perjury,
for which charge he will come before the Po-
lice Court this morning. The fact that no
money could accrue from the conviction of
Sprout naturally discredits any charge of
bribery on the part of local officer, as
Bluitt charged.
