BEFORE JUDGE KELLY.

The entire day i'm the main court
room was taken ur with the trial of
Andnew Gordon, who is charged with
perjury by Simon Nerushas, who last
fall was acquitted OF the killing Of
John Miskus, on March II. 1896. Ne
rusas was committed to Jail mainly
on the testimony OF Gordon, who al
legged that he was passing the house
of ATiskus on the night of the mur-
der and saw Nerushas hitting Mis-
kus on the head with an axe 1t is
alleged that this was q wilfully false
statement, for Gordon not only did
not hit Miskus on the head but even
admitting that it was true that he
did it would have been impossible for
Gordon to look into the house as he
said he did.
Alderman Edward Fidler, before
whom Gordon was sworn at the pre-
liminary hearing. testified that Cor
don said he saw NeruShas strike
NliSkus or the head with an axe and
Il number of persons who We're at the
hearing corroborated this statement
Simon IIincrfcld testified that he
heard Andrew Miller, the prosecutor
in the murder case against Nerushas
accuse Gordon of having sworn falsely
against Nerushas. Mus. Sarah Lee
said that Miskus was not killed in
the house and that Gordon could not
have seen anything that happened in
the Miskus apartments through an
open door. while passing the house.
Court Stenographer w. d. Coston
read his notes of the testimony or
Gordon at the trial of Nerushas for
murder. This was to the effect that
NcruShas hit MiskuS with an axe
Joseph Moglnsky testified that Cor
don told him to tell Nerushas, while
the latter was in Jail. that they
would let up on him if Nerushas gave
them $50; if he didn't. they would
swear him to the EalloWs.
In his defense, Gordon reiterated
the story that he saw Nerushas hit
Miskus with the axe, and he called
witnesses to prove that MoSlinsky
and other witnesses for the common
wealth were unworthy of belief Mrs
Andrew Gordon swore that after the
killing. Nerushas gave her ring ana
told herself and husband to keep quiet
about what they knew about Miskus
death.
In rebuttal Nerlshas denied that he
gave a ring To Mrs. Gordon ana Wlt-
nessoS We're called to testify that they
would not believe Gordon under any
circumstances. The evidence is all in
and the arguments TO the jury VIII pe
made this morning.

Yesterday the clouds of dust that
