Coney for the murder of his niece when
the case comes to trial. He said yester-
day the testimony of the witnesses that
he had secured would be of such q nature
that the jury would have little trouble in
arriving at their verdict. He is aware

discovered that persons are endeavorlng
to secure witnesses to swear falsely in
the interest of the accused. Some of these
have been sent for and will appear at the
Prosecutors Office today TO tell what they
know about the murder.

him through animOsity proved a thorn in
the Prosecutors side, and yesterday he
visited LIE Coney to inform him that he
had been grossly misrepresented. He told
lie Coney that the trouble referred to had
been dismissed from his mind for eight
years, and it was a painful duty he had to
perform when he caused his arrest on the

Vice Chancellor Bird has granted rules
to show cause why an injunction should
not issue and a restraining order against
the Consumers Ice Company, of Shrews-

for four years a meadow and pond to

requires them to show cause why the in
