He was summoned as witness in the trial of Matt Ward, who was arrested because of this testimony. He said Ward treat ed him to cider brandy and beer, that he did not pay for any liquor, that he did not see any among the other men there that he knew and saw no one drinking there. Hubbell, after his discharge from arrest for assault, went to Monroe to stay and after the arrest of Ward, the latter went to Monroe and interviewed Hubbell and it is supposed that this re- suited in the false testimony of Hubbell. His trial takes place tomorrow, Satur- day, and will be heard by Deputy Judge Wakelee.
