 rlarshaI Richards Testimony.
 United States Marshal Richards was the next witness. He stated positively that no one had ever solicited him to put any mans name in the special venire in the Wright case: he diGn1 know that Flames or Hayden was to be subppnaed; he had no conversation with Gtiggs concerning these men. nor with.Jourden, or Attorneys Ort0n. Fink or Fenton, nor did they suggest any names to be put on the list; he never authorized any person to ouer d hribe, nor had he mentioned the Wright case to any juror. He admitted that he called upon Flames. but he did not ask him if the court was behind the prose- cu,iOn. the, first iutimation that he bad that something was brewing was from P. L. Eddy, who told him that a man named Doe Flames had been to see him and had asked him if he wouldn't make an affidavit charging the mar shal with influencing jurors, and Eames had offered to pay him. Richards went to see Eames because he was anxious to find the man who was buying afiidavits. Flames said he had found nothing. although he had been inves- tioat ng, and Richards told him that affidav.ts m ght be had for money, and he wanted 10 know who was back of Eames. Next day he went back to Eames's cabin with Chief Jolley. and Flames told hm he wanted to speak with him alone. Flames said it was impossible for him. to work for two men, and he couldn't work for him. Marshal Richards testified that he had never conspired or confederated wit h any one for the purpose of securing a jury favorable to Wright.
 In reply to questions by McGinn. Marshal Richards said that he had not prepared d list of names for the Wright case prior to the issuing of the venire, although he antcipat ed d special venire in every criminal case tried, and he had endeavored to get good business men. He did not understand the judge to say that jurors should not be drawn from persons in the court room.
 Didn't you know that the cour, room was crowded with A. Bs. that day 7" asked McGinn.
 No, sir: did not; but I knew Mike Sullivan was in the room. 1 told You (tO McGinn) that 1 had thought up a list of names, as l wanted to get good jurors, and it was difficult, as so many bad served on juries before and were not eligible. I criticised the deputies for getting Hayden and Eanes, a, 1 wanted more prominent men. When the venil e was issued l told the deputies if they cOuldn'l find the men, to get the. best they could.'
 Marshal Richards said he had one or two interests with D. NJ. BroGan in mining property. Brogan had the con- tract for feeding the federal prisoners; and they had done some work on Brogan', house, at their own request. and had received extra food for it. r. c. Sullivan was his attorney, but he knew nothing of Mr. SulIi>an's ar engagements as counsel for Wright. McGinn tried to make it. appear that the firm of Sullivan & Fink was formed at the mar-hal's suggestion and that the marshal Was to fix the juiics for them, but he failed utterly in the attempt.
 Proceeding Richards said il had been proposed to close gambling, but it was not true, as McGnn suggested, that Sullivan X Fink were 10 receive 5000 q month from the gamblers to prevent it. ''Such statement is absolutely false," said Richards.
