Mrs. Christiancy to lIr. Jackson.
Besides the letter to Giro, ten letters ad-
dressed to Mr.. Jackson are published. one is
dated March 4th, 1850.
APPEALS TO GIRo'S HONOR
In this letter Mrs. Christiancy writes as fol-
loWs--''Your friend, Mr.. Z. Giro. told me II

Latest Developments.
Tie above letters from Mrs. Christiancy to
Giro were only few that the latter retained
when he turned over the bulk of the correspou-
dence to Dr. Blood upon directions from MIS-
C. These letters. ills alleged. were made public
by Mrs. Christiancys attorneys. Mr.. Ingerson,
counsel for Mr.. ChIistIancy, to-day assured a
STAR reporter that he had not given them out
for the reason that 1t was distinctly understood
by both sides, that the testimony should not be
made public until presented In court Gtro

turned over thirty-n1ne letters and kilograms
from Mrs. c. to himself and two Photographs Of
her 10 DR.. Blood, who still holds the correSpon-
dence. 1t appears, however, from Giro's side OF
the case that he retained the several letters TO-
day published. According to the attorneys aud
parties interested In the suit
GIRO WAS AT FIRST UNWILLING TO TESTIFY
against Mrs. Christiancy, or at least pretended
to be. 1t was evident that he felt reSentfui to.

him for DR.. Blood. Giro stated to certain per-
sons in New York, In effect, that If Mrs Chris
uancy had been faithful and true in her love
for him he would never have consented to tes-
tify against her; that he would have gone to
his death rather than injure her. But, he said,
she not only unceremon1ously dropped him for
els and had obtained money from him besides
In fact, his cause OF complaint was that the
lady was " on with the new love before she was
off with the Old" Notwithstanding his COM
plants against the lady, Giro pretended to be
very reluctant TO testify against her. While
the examination was pending In New York,
however. and before Giro had given any tesu-
tiancy, be (G1ro) was arrested on a warrant
sworn out by Dr. Blood. Very naturally the
attorneys for Mr.. Christiancy obtained his re
lease. This arrest made Giro furious, and
aroused what was termed the " vindictlveness
OF his Spanish nature"
AN AFFIDAVIT BY GIRO.
He at once notified the prosecution that he
before the commissioner, who was taking the
testimony, and prior to beginning the exanina-
tton, Giro asked leave to have the following
statement. which he swore to. attached to the
record: Last evening. after the adjournment
by the commissioner, after had crossed Broad
way, the street upon which the building, No.
115 Broadway Is situated, was arrested by the
sheriff OF the city and county OF New York In
action instituted against me by Charles L..
Blood, the individual to whom, at the de-
fendant's request, l delivered the letters and
photographs and who has repeatedly at
tempted to procure me to swear falsely
In this suit In order to clear the
defendant Of the charges in the bill filed in this
case. The said arrest was in flagrant and open
violation of my privilege as a witness, as
secured to me by the laws OF the state OF which
am q citizen; and solemnly aver and charge
that said arrest was made to int1midate and
hinder me as q witness; that the officer making
said arrest had been endeavoring to take me In
custody for several days past; that all the
charges set forth In said complaint and affi-
davits are, and each is, wholly false and intend
ed by said Blood to tnjure my credibil1ty as a
witness and bring me into disrepute In the
community; and further charge and aver that
the attorney for the defendant in this cause
pointed me out and made me known to said
Ing, and DO now here fully freely and volun-
tar1ly acknowledge that hereby withdraw all
my objections and refusals heretofore entered
on this record to answering any and all ques-
tions as to the adultery charged In the bill In
this cause, and that this statement is made by
me under my oath as witness before this
commissioner. (Signed) EDILBERro GIRO.
