CORK OF BOTTLE FOUND.

The cork to the chloroform bottle
was found ut the spot beside the river
where Leon Porham says the crime
was committed. Leon pcrham was not
present when the body was discovered
or taken from the river, bat after his
confession lie was able to take Deputy
Sheriff Nash to the very spot. What
Pcrham told Nash about the chloro-
form bottle and handkcrchiefs and
rope, and whore they had been thrown.
proved to be absolutely true. Perham
also was able to point out the tree
that the hat was hung upon, although
he did not see it when it was found.
The rope from which the piece was
cut was also found just as Pcrham
said.
Pcrham's testimony, as shown by the
record, is that of n weak minded in
dividual and it is conclusivcly estab-
lishod that the petitioner is much his
superior in mental caliber. Does the
testimony presented by the petitioner
raise reasonable doubt as to the
truthfulncss of the substance of the
story as testified to by Leon Perham?
II Leon Perham made any confess
sion to Lowell. Oakcs and Flynn on
January 81, last, why is not the de-
position of Leon Perham produced? If
he has taken back the story he told
at the trial; If he has changed it In
any material particular. why was not
his testimony taken for the petitioner?

the Doherty case was far stronger
