Brew, on the trial of the said issue did then and there, to wit; on the 18th day of April, 1908, at Newtown aforesaid. before the said Court. fal sely, malic- iously, wilfully, wlckedly, corruptly and by his own proper act and con- sent deplore and swear and give evi- dence among other things to said court in substance, that he the said Maloney anc said Brew left said house and said premises at the same time and in com pany with all the "ther persons upon said premises and did not remain be- hind in said house in company with said Brew, after said other persons had departed from said premises and further while he, the said Maloney. was in the cellar of the said house, shortly before said house was burned in company with said Brew, that said Brew did not leave said cellar and go into other apartments within said house and did not state to him the said Maloney, in leaving said cellar to go into said other apartments, "I am go- ing up stairs to let the dogs out" or words to that effect, and that he, the said Brew did not after going into said other apartments return to said Malon- ey, in sad cellar, and that he, the said Brew, dld not leave said Maloney while said Maloney was in said cellar prior to the burning of said house, whereas and in fact and in truth said Maloney and said Brew remained in the cellar of said dwelling house after all other persons had left said premises and did not accompany any other per sons away from said premises and whereas in truth and in fact while said Brew and said Maloney were together in the cellar of said house, shortly be- fore said house was bruned, the said Brew left said Maloney in said cellar stating to the said Maloney at the time of leaving said cellar that he was going upstairs to let out the dogs and there upon said Brew did visit other apart ments in said house and thereafter re- turned to said cellar and there rejoined said Maloney and thereafter said Brew and said Maloney left said premises to gether not in company of any other persons and so the grand juror upon his oath aforesaid does say that on the 18th day of April. 1908, before said court by his proper act consent and by his own most wicked and corrupt mind and in the manner aforesaid, did felon- iously, maliciously and corruptly upon his oath aforesaid commit wilful and corrupt perjury, in contempt of the laws, to the evil example of others and contrary to the statutes in such cases made and provided.
