ruptly CndeavOrng to influence juror. Tho
witnesses on whose testimony the bill was

and sets forth in the quaint phrascology used

pose of unlawfully and corruptly influencing
William Dickson's vote and decision in the
star route case, did on tho twenty-third of
August, 1882, while that trial was in progress,
hold an interview with Dickson about the
trial and offered to pay him $4,000 to vote
for the conviction of Thomas J. Brady and S.
w, Dorsey. There is second count to the

MR.. HUDsoN's RESPONSE.
Tho answer of the defendant in the suit Of
Benjamin G. Lovejoy VS.. Edmund Hudson,
has been filed by r. k Elliot, counsel for de-
fcndant. The bill to which this is nm answer
alleges n copartnership between Lovejoy and
Hudson in the Sunday Capital, and for Hud-
sons failure TO comply with tho terms of The
agreement Lovejoy asked the court to appoint
receiver and order sale of the property.
Tho defendant, in answer, denies any part
ncrship arrangement between himself and
complainant, and asserts that Lovejoy was
not in any way party to the purchase ofthe
Capital He says the complainant in last Oc-
tober in answer to a question, proposed to do
all the work on Sunday paper with the aid
of one reporter, and wished to become inter-
IA thn audi IN
be paid at the rate of 81 800 q year in cash,
and 1900 in stock. After the purchase of
the Capital Mr.. Lovejoy was informed he
could become connected with the newspaper
in the manner proposed, with the understand
ing that the CdpitdL and Army and Nam Re1is-
ter would be under the same ownership and
management, but it was never proposed to
Co" olldatc them as newspapers, as alleged by
complainant and complainant was informed
that he would be allowed to acquire definite
interest in the ownership of the two papers,
to be paid for as proposed by him. Defendant
alleges that he never refused to perfect this
arrangement, and that the claim OF complains
ant that he was TO be presented with ii-half
sinterest in the Capital, merely as cOnsidcra-
ton Of his retiring from his law business, is
preposterous.
The defendant alleges that complainant
has not faithfully complied with his agree
ment that his work was unsatisfactory, and
that 1t became necessary to employ another
person on the editorial work. The complain
ant voluntarily withdrew from the Capital
without giving notice of his intention to de.
fendant, and the latter has always treated the
former with great torbearnce and considera-
tion.
