mat the court usually granted much
atltude In such cases as this, where a

'nother was his accomplice. He held =
nat no such case had ever occurred in s

Vansant said he did ask Tarbutton 1

When did you first make up your
mind to swear falsely in the Lynn Q
ase?" asked Mr.. Biggs. t
When Mr. Fahey came round and b
sked me. He supposed he made s.
more suggestions than johnson did as g
o the made-up story. Fahey offered ft
nm not one cent as an inducement to q
wear falsely. Fahey said, however. Il
