INCONSISTENCIES OF THE REFORMATION.
Mr. IngersO then proceeded TO call the attention OF
the court TO what he termed the ncous cnces apparent
upon the face of the information, asserting that 1t
charged McDonough with conspiring to dcfraud himself
that 1t charged Brady and McDonough Win
conspiring, and then charged McDonough with
paying his client Brown $4,000 for influencing Brady
to conspre Was IL possible, ne asked that one CON
sprator would apply outsider to use his influence
10 get sprator to cOnspre Did not knowledge
OF human nature show it 10 be impossible Did not
knOwe of transactions OF prove IL 10 he h-
solutey absurd If should turn ont to be true that
that allegation would he evidence 10 any court on earn
that Brady had not conspired The time mad passed u
il had ever existed in this country, when the peader
could usurp the place Of the court when he coud GUST
the Jury. and the time never would come we IN case
like this, the pleader could Gust the Grand Jury.
At this point the court adjourned unul tomorrow
