The morning call., 1892-07-06
MR.. EAsTON CENsURED.

Yet in the face of this. the decision saws.
KIP, who was Schmidt's attorney, and who
defended him in his criminal charges,
swears that Mr.. East0n informed Schmidt
before his reeaDtation that Bells friends
would stand by him" that counsel would
be employed 10 defend him in the Superior
Court; that ii he was convicted and the Su-
preme Court refused to affirm an apreal,
an application would be made to tie Gov
ernOr for pardon. On such assurance be-
ing made, Schmidt went back on his testi-
mony at the trial. When the recaptation
was made Judge Murphy says that Dr.
Easton sent check for $3.50 to Mr. Kip as
a retaining fee for the defense OF Schmidt.
Mr.. EastOn also offered 10 retain Kip a. one
of counsel to defend Bell. which offer Kip
declined.
Judge Murphy also adds, referring TO the
Interest which Easton took in the trial of
Bell on the criminal charges before Judge
Trout, that the reverend gentleman made
himself the medium through which the mos,
scurrilous and seandalous libels were cir
culated attacking botn the court and the
District Attorney, the object of which was
to deter the District Attorney from prose-
cutting the criminal charges against Schmidt
Furthermore, the court adds, Mr. Easton
introduced one j. A. Brown, a detective
from Ohio, In the County Jail 20 Bell under
false pretenses, claiming that Brown was a
minister.
INDUCEMENTS MADE TO CAMPBELL
AfterwaTd Brown and Easton sought
Campbell aud made inducements to him TO
change his testimony In the case, and even
paid him money under the gu!se of employ
ing him as detective. 1t is clear tn the
court that Mr.. Easton received large sums
of money from the East to use in the case.
and The Judge says it is hardly conceivable
Mr.. Easton did not know the money was tn
be paid for the purpose of receiving an affi-
davit from Campbell contradcting his first
testimony: Brown also. the court holds,
sought to influence Mrs. Campbell to mold
her husband and induce him TO make
recaRtation OF his testimony.
The court then reviews tbe various
methods which Brown adopted 10 try and
make Campbell do as was desired. Such
affldavlts as Brown did secure from Camr
bell, the court is convinced, prove that he
Is guilty OF subornation of perjury and be
MouIu nave Deen ordered INTO custody IL he
mao not lied the State. All the way through
Browns efforts in the case show a whole
sale system OF bribery and Corruption.

Is held TO be cowardly in the extreme.
There is not, In the Judges opinion, one
scintiila OF evidence in the case that mil
aa tta.es against any member OF the family of
deceased and any suggestion of impropriety
taking place In the house of the deceased
on the night he was murdered is baseless
and unwarranted.
THE MOTION GRANTED.
In regard to the attacks made on Captain
Lees and the police during the trial of the
case the court states that nowhere in the
attacks.
In view of the fact that both Schmidt and
