FABRICATING EVIDENCE.
Captain John krlly was a promi-
nent operator in Virginia City, a care
ful, cunning and secret operator and
Geo. Ives WAS his executor, his conf
| dential man who did his business .
John Kelly was dead and we could not
raise him from his grave TO contradict
the evidence. 50 Jones goes to San .
| Francisco and tries to persuade Ives |
| that he had some transactions with !
| Kelly, but Ives said there were no
I such transactions. He said his attOr-
! ney. Coffin, would also call and Coffin .
called but could get no evidence to /
! help his client, vet Jones' insisted that !
| he bad dealt through Kelly. Now
these people overlooked the fact that
Kelly was taken sick in Feb 80 and
died in Jan. 81, before the Con. Va
deal in which Jones claimed 10 have
made his money. So Tie little Job was
completely nipped in the bud and welt
down like the other jobs these people
have fabricated to explain the theft of
that money.
THE BOGUS MELT.
"a and when Harris discovered t. a.
god Was short he b gan hunting H.
dustiiOusly for the cause and the bar
were weighed. Harris assistants help

Harris discovered it as missing on the
10th, You are to believe are yDu that
Harris stole the bar. detected the theft
and published the thief to the world?
What an insult to the Intelligence Of a
} jury. Has Jones ever made an expla-
nation Of the disappearance Of that
bar? Has he opened his mouth? He
never dared to-
THE PICKLER BULLION
Let us discuss the Picker incident.
A public woman OF the town makes an
: affidavit prepared by Coffin, that
bullion is buried in Picklers ward
The place is marked by sack, " he
q buried it? the lips Of me dead are sealed
q They produced 10 pounds of amalgan
0 unlike any in the mint to prove that
o Harris made spurious bar. Not a
10 d"llOr of that algam dug in Pick
- !ers yard was ever Govern gold
" We charge the defendant with steal
ing fiae gold not de osit amalgam
10 Admitting that Picker stole it it cut:
no figure in the case.
- admit to you that | have done
my duty in the case. [ have not at
tempted to convict an innocent man
It remains for you to say what shal
he done in the case where the evidenc
is 5" convihcirg. I thank you
