LAIRD LIED LIKE -.
| A dispatch from Independence says tina,
Prosecuting Attorney Wallace this afternoon
asked the court to have the indictment against
Bugler and others now on trial for participa.
ton in the Blue Cut train robbery dismissed,
as he had evidence and was completely salts
fled that none of the indicted men were con.
cerned in that affair This confirms the con.
fesslon of Dick Little and shows that the state.
ments of John Laird were false.
The action of the prosecuting attorney took
every one by surprise, and caused great SEN
sation.
After consideration of the extraordinary re-
quest the court dismissed the indictments and
discharged the prisoners. The jury, after
being discharged, took q vote on the case, and
it was found all were for verdict OF guilty.
John Land is terribly cut up at the turn OF
affairs, and now says he made
his confession partly on account Of the
grudge he holds against Bugler, and
Chapman. and partly because he thought they
would all be convicted anyway. To save him
self he affected to turn states evidence. He
says that neither he Ler any of the Cracker
Neck gang were at the Blue Cut robbery, and
that his confession was false from beginning
to end. He is now in Jail and will be prose-
cuted for perjury.
