from Yale, he taught for a time and
studied law. He was admitted to the

the Democratic ticket. In 1857 he
was appointed justice Of the supreme
bench Of Pennsylvania, and in 1870
he received his commission as mem
Der of the United States supreme

an alleged attempt to defraud the owners OF
the Iowa City Packing house out Of their
property valued at $780, OO. Keyser came
to Iowa last fall. and offered 100000 and
$4,000 acres Of West Virginia land for the

was accepted. Before the deal was concluded
Keyser insisted that he would need $4,000
to operate the business; but said he would
give q mortgage or the property for the

out on the basis, and Keyserleft iowa City on
business. The deed was not spread upon the

Keyser had played n bogus abstract upon

packing house had been decided away and all
they had to show for it was a $40, 200 mort

Keyser to have sold the plant orb further en-
numbered it, but the records failed to show

trial at Caledonia. county seat of Trail
county, N. D., charged with the murder Of
Boston Casey. The object of the deposition
was to weaken. ii not break down the pros
ecution of O'Hare, the theory being that
Brown himself did the killing, and in view of
his execution being near at hand, he would
confess the truth. The following is the SUBJ
stance of Browns deposition:
My true name Is ]. F.. Raymond. Was at
Hillsboro Sept. 81, 1888. Am acquainted
with O'Hare, also with one Boston Casey or
Peter Casey, who was shot and killed at
Hillsboro, Oak, at a place known as The

twenty-five or thirty other men were there,
nearly all were drunk. Boston Casey was
there. l was tossing 6ve-dollar gold pieces
in the air when Casey snatched the money.
Asked him to give it back. He answered he
would see me in first. said maybe you
will get there. He said: why. you little
blows of my right duke; can kill you with
one." l told him he had better not try it or
he would get hurt. He walked over to me
and said: Il will try it fol luck" He
raised his right hand to strike me, and
/ pulled my revolver and shot
him dead. As he was falling I
caught him and laid him ON the ground.
He laid there two or three minutes. l told
SON men to carry him put of sight. Four
or five men picked him up, carried him fifty
yards, laid him behind q fallen tree. I then
walked toward the river about fifty yards
and threw the revolver in the middle of the
river. 1t was a Smith & Wesson 3S-caliber.
I then came back and staid in camp until
the passenger train was coming from Grand
Forks, then went up to the water tank, got
on and rode to the depot, got of to get q
ticket. Agent said "Too late" and gave me
a telegram. Read telegram, and changed
my mind about going on that train. Started
for the camp. I saw a crowd of citizens
running towards the camp. I started to go
back, but went into a lumber yard. When
came out I was arrested for shooting at r.

Til erewere twenty-five or thirty men present
when Casey was killed, but Maurice O'Hare
was not there. Two or three of the men had
scars on their faces. AS soon as I shot Ca.
sey one Of the men pulled a revolver out. He
was a friend of mine. Only two or three men
saw me shoot Casey. Three men were play
ing cards, the rest were all drunk or asleep. ]
was in jail at Caledonia under the name T.
