THE JUDGE PROVES AN ALIBI.
C. W. HemeuwaJ's Connection with
the Case-GreenW ellis Fear
ful Middle.

Following is the main portion of the
evidence in the Greenwen perjury case
omitted in yesterdays report. We give
it as found in the Ogden Herald:
Mr.. C. w. HENENwAY, editor of the
Ogden Herald, was called. Is &C
quainted with o. ". Powers. and has
heard Of a lady named Sarah Herrick
ASSISTANT PROSECUTING ATTORNEY
Was your attention ever called to a re
port wherein Powers and Herrick were
charged with seduction and bastardy ?
Ma EENENwAY-Well, the lady was
not charged with that
With respect to Powers2
Yes; I'heard such q report.
Who with?
With Miss Sarah Herrick or Horrock
About this time Mr.. Dickson re-
lieyed his random subordinate of the
duty of interrogating Mr.. Hemsnway.
Mr.. Dickson braced himself up, and
proceeded with the examination.
Nh. DICKSON State how that came to
your notice.
WTTsEss-The report in connection
with this matter came to my notice
through my local reporter.
What is his name?
Alfred Mitigate
In what way did 1t conner
Well, in the regular performance of
his duties, he informed me that such q
report was abroad.
When was it that you got such in
fOrmation2
l don't recOllect exactly, but it seems
to me it was about three or four weeks
ago, possibly less, possibly more
Witness continued that prior TO the
time of hearing of the rumor through
the reporter, he had received no defnia
information concerning the names of
the parties IN question. Since the re-
porter spoke about the matter, witness
has heard great deal of common re-
port IL reference to the case
Witness received some paper writ
ings. He would cali them blank af-
idavitS, which DurpOrted to set forth
Here Mr.. Kimbal objected TO the wit
ness stating what the affidavit ron-
tanned. The affidavits themselves
would be the best evidence OF what they
contain.
Mr.. Dickson claimed that in all prob
ability the afidavits have served their
RAA EO1N anu A4eAfN 0IGAA uOuE AWAY Will.
The prosecution has the right to prove
BY witness what was the contents of the
affidavits.
The examination continued. He does
not know where the affidavits are now.
He returned them 10 box in the post
Office according TO 4 direction in the
letter. Witness does not remember
the number Of the box. but thinks il
was somewhat between fifty and one
hundred. He also has an impression
that there were a six or nine in it.
The envelope was already addressed. |
Witness found the affidavit and note
on his table in the Office in the morn
ing. The witness was again asked what
was the contents of the afhdavits, and
W. kimb8il again objected. Witness |
uI0 not ccme 70 the conclusion that the 1
affidavit made any direct inference in I
regard 20 persons. The note was re
turned With the afidaYits. As near as
witness could recollect the spirit of the
note and affidavits was to assert in an
ambiguous way that a Federal Judge !
and the-daughter Of an ex- Mayor had |
had illicit intercourse. Witness has |
met ex-Mayor Herrick, but does not
know that he ever was Mayor; be has /
heard that he occupied that Office.
Mr. hINBALL moved % have the tes-
umony OF the witness stricken out as TO
the contents Of the affidayits That is
only witness conclusions. The defense
claims that the prosecution should pro
duce the atiidavits themselves.
Copies OF the Ogden Herald for the I.
early part OF July were obtained. and |
Mr.. Dickson proceeded with his exam
nation. IL was about six weeks ago |
mat witness received the affidavits and |
A00ut TWO weeks before the LIST of July. |
