George W. Davis, the witness who got
slightly mixed in his testimony in the Collin
examination the other day, is endeavoring
to throw some peculiar responsibility upon

barrassment, but as to any effort to COM
promise with him, any one who knows MIR.
Rawlins will feel sure that the witness is

Agentleman residing in the Fourth Mu-
nicipal precinct of this city, in speaking of
the primaries of the Peoples party the other
day, offered to bet two to one that at the
meeting of that precinct Bishop Whitney

the meeting last night sure enough confirmed
the fact, and the DEMOCRAT regrets that it
did not take the prediction for the report, rs
1t could have been thoroughly relied upon.
The Ne,os is reckless enough to feel sorry
that Deputy Collin did Lot shoot the other
parties who we're in the alley on the night of
November 2Sth, and still persists, in the
face of all the evidence recently developed,
that those persons were friends of Mr.. Col
lin, and possibly associate deputies. The
Ne,os will possibly not be kept long in sus-
pense as to exactly who those parties were,
and had better begin now to frame some
mitigating excuse for the presence of some
of the brethren with McMurrin that night.
An editorial in the Salt Lake Herald this
morning on the McMurrin case is a marvel

trombone, "still has confidence in McMur-
rims absolute innocence, but his persistent
silence will in time shake that confidence,
hence the necessity for him to speak," AS
McMurrin is silent and does not answer, the
Herald should note that he himself seems to
have less confidence in his "absolute limo
oence" than has the fiustered scribe who is
30 particularly vehement in the case. 1t is
thought MoMurrin would deny the charge
in the columns of the Herald, but that he is
afraid of again being "foully murdere ed"
