CASE OF COLLINS.
Witness Henry Said to Have Been
Tempered With.


Victoria, BIC. July 29.-The charge
that George d. Collins, accused of per-
jury at San Francisco and fighting
vigorously against extradition, had
tempered with a witness, a. J. Henry,
notary of San Francisco, may yet be
investigated, although Judge Lampman
has not taken cognizance of the mat
ter. Today when Collins counsel was
Directing to an interview with Henry
published in the Victoria CoIonist
claiming that both Henry and the
newspapers were in contempt Of court,
Mr.. Higgins, counsel for the prosecu-
ton, said he did not propose to go into
this matter now to delay the proceed
ings. The matter now to be consid-
cred was whether Collins was to be
extradited or not, but he said he could
prove with three witnesses under oath
that Collins had tempered with the
witness.
And you'll be called upon to prove
it, said Collins.
Il am quite prepared to prove 1t. -
replied Mr.. Higgins. Mr.. Higgins said
that Collins had given the first inter
view and Henry had given another
contradicting the statements the ac-
cused made. The court said both were
blameable in discussing the matter in
the press, rather than coming to the
court. Higgins said Collins had been
continually going to the local press
with, statements. Judge Lampman said
these interviews were, he supposed, de-
signed to be telegraphed to San Fran
