there was an understanding when tho

Ire reliance of petitioners for the par
don OF Stain and Cromwell Is an alibi..
Their claim is that when Cashier Barron
was murdered at Dexter, Stain and
Cromwell were in Massachusetts,, hun
drsds of miles away. If they prove this
claim 1t Is enough. They are not bound
TO show who murdered him. 1t is enough
II they prove that Stain and Cromwell
did not. 1t is very difficult to judge of
the value of the testimony that has been
offered from the published abstracts,
Even full report Of the evidence would
not furnish an altogether safe basis for
Judgment The manner of man who
testities, the way In which he testifies,
sometimes the tone or his voice even,
have q good deal to do with estimating
the value OF testimony and these things
can only be known when the witness is

exprsss any opinion as to the strength OF
ths case the petitioners have made out
but il is cafe to say that before the Coun-
