NevS. At once ho and his Attorney,
Jos. A. Mccullough, ESQ.,, came over,
together with other parties who were itn-

time. He stated: "That no one paid or
offered to pay this Respondentany money
whatever for the purpose of using it in
any wav in the case of the State VS.. Sulli-
van, and that Respondent did not pay any
money to any one for any purpose what
ever connected with the said case, and
that any statements that Respondent may
have made to that effect were made while
drunk, and this Respondent has no
knowledge of said facts" He says fur
ther that ifhe did make the statements al
legged, "they were utterly without founda-
ton, and are not founded on any facts that
were true"
G. Wardfaw, Esq, makes affidavit to
the effect that when Trammell came to
him and retained him he asked him to tell
him the whole truth about the affair, let
implicate who it might. He told him that
if he confessed his guilt to him that the
law would protect the communication,
and he could not be compelled to disclose
it'll explained to Trammell that it would
be better for him to tell him the whole
truth, and Trammell told him he would
tell Tim the truth and "all about it."
That after preparing each paragraph in
said affidavit he would ask him, "Now,
Ben, is this true" and Ben would answer
that it was.
G. Z. Harper, the man whom Dilling-
ham says Trammell told him furnished

nouncing such statement absolutely false.
He says he knows nothing of any attempt
to bribe the Jury by any one.

Dillingham;, rammell stated that he had
left s100 for purpose of keeping Cashine

knew nothing of any such attempt.

bar on Depot street, says he saw Tram
NELL and Cashine in his bar Tuesday
night, and Trammell set up to drinks.
He had them charged. Trammell did
not buy quart Of whiskey from him that
night. He saw Dillingham; at the door
for about 30 seconds while they were in
there. Did not see Trammell give Cashine
money or anything; that if he had done
so he thought he would have seen it (;
that he does not remember Tram mmelPs
being in his place of business at all Mon
day night; that Trammell had taken two
other drinks there before that evening
and had them all charged.
It will be rememb bered that Dillingham;
says that on Wednesday morning Tram
NELL said he would give him check on
Farmers and Merchants Bank for 800
to fix a certain Juror and started to do so,
&c. j. r. Vandiver makes affidavit that
neither Sullivan, Trammell, Harper and
no one else implicated had any money on

who had to his credit less than $500.
Mr.. Brock makes same affidavit so far
as his Bank is concerned.
G. G. Langston makes affidavit that he
saw Trammell about p. m. Friday, and
asked him about the matter, and Tram
NELL replied that the facts which he was
reported to have stated were not true,
and he was only "joking the id fool"
alluding to Dillingham;. /.
T. S. Crayton says, in su ubstance, he saw
Tram NELL about same hour and made
about same enquiry, and Trammell told
him he was not employed to bribe the
Jury, and received nor paid any money
to any one for that purpose.
