Indicted for Bearing False Witness.

Smith Campbell is likely to ex-
perience the truth of the old adage that
mans sins are apt to find him out
and that the way of the transgressor is
hard. In last weeks MIDLAND jour
NAL we published some startling revela
lions in the Smith--Haines SANDER
suit which was decided at the spring
term of the county court. in which
Frank Fell goaded by computations OF
conscience had confessed that for the
hope of reward promised by Campbell
he had taken a false oath by which job
Haines was mulct in penalty of 50, 900
and cost. Mr.. Haines appeared before
the grand jury of the present term oil
the county court and Fell and Smith
Campbell have both been indicted. The
first for perjury and the latter for sub
ordination. A presentment was also
found against Campbell for attempting
10 bride witnesses for the defense to
stay away from court.
Campbell lives in Chester county and
a requisition will be made for his trans
fer 10 Maryland. In the mean time he
is held under bonds in Pennsylvania to
answer a charge Tor attempted house
burning. Mjsfortunes appear to bt
visiting Campbell in their usual way
not singly but in battallions. Those
persons who know Campbell best are
pretty unanimous in agreeing that he
is an Unborn scoundrel.
But what will be thought of the jury
that found in favor of Campbell in sucL
case where the evidence was pro-
nounced the most shakyand suspicious
by disinterested persons who heard it
now that they discover they took 10 9
brazen lie that was fatty contradictec
by reputable witnesses on the stand
where Fell had told his made up story
The sheriff came up on Tuesday
night and arrested Frank Fell on 6
bench warrant and committed him tc
