The request is made upon two gronnds.
1st. That there is no evidence tending -
show tn ut Mr.. Black made the sfkdavit.
End. That it was not made By John L.
but John d. Black.
AS the Jury and courts have decided
these points against the defendant. moth
ing is left for me TO say upon these I've
points fully concur in their action, -
their opinion is the Law governing in sueA
cases. A large number Of respectable Cit
liens of st. Louis asa me to remit the 6ns
the costs having been paid.
am advised that to require the pay
ment of he whole fine would be oppression,
not only upon himself but also upon his
family, The crime for which he Was con-
victed is henious one to society, and
preiudicial to every interest upon which
the morality reposes. The course must b
condemned and the law vindicated. Be-
cause Of the poverty OF the man, remit
$500 OF the line and SO order.
