published last Saturday in the Chror,.

accused of subornation of perjury.
The first paragraph gives fair idea
of its tenor. 1t reads:
4 "Dr. Edward B. Perrin, recently
sentenced to serve one year in the
penitentiary for conspiring with John
A. Benson in the land frauds, has in
his possession an affidavit signed by
c. p Smell, the principal witness for
the prosecution in Perrin's trial, and
the affidavit is confession of Smell
that the evidence which he gave was
one-sided and designedly given so at
the instance of Secret Service Agent
William Burns, who had prepared the
case for the prosecution. Smell af-
firms his belief in the innocence of
DR.. Perrin, and he lays the blame
for his peculiar line of testimony to
Detective Burns, whom he accuses OF
having coached him for trial"
Burns in his complaint declares the
article in the Chronicle is false, and
tends to impeach his honesty and
reputation.
