of the defendant, inasmuch as it contradicted
in many important particulars the witness
Raffety, upon whose testimony they expected
TO secure a conviction. Yesterday the Dis.
trict Attorney attempted to impeach Wal
than. He offered to prove by several wit
nesses that Walthsm had testified falsely.
Judge Curtis, Of counsel for the defense,
interpOsed sn objection, saying that il Wal
than was liar, he was liar that belonged
to the prosecution.
The Judge sustained the objection, and in

Troai, in explanation. claims to have been
engaged in his youth to the writer of the let
ter, but that he has not heard from her since
leaving Italy. until this letter was received.
The money spoken of he claims were small
gold coins, which he sent to his brother with
instructions to have them manufactured int

claim on him whatever, and, so far as ever
sending her any money is concerned, it is not
true.
