got possession of the testimony and
made a garbled statement of it, and
made use of that garbled statement be-
fore the Grand Forks convention of the

of the law in the case had not changed,
and he stated now, as he had stated be-
fore, that if either of the parties desired
to have some other judge to try the case,
he would try to secure such other Judge.
Mr.. Newton said that he desired to
have time to consult his clients in regard
to the case.
Judge Winchester repeated, that it was
a case of more than ordinary Importance
and involves the interests, not only of
the liJigants, but of the county. He was
ready, if desired by both parties, to the
set in the case again but he would be

either party desired it.
The case was passed till this morning,
