 comes Charles F. Beardsley, a grand
 juror in and for said town, and on his
 oath of office complaint and informa-
 tion makes that at said town of New
 town on the 18th day of April, 1908,
 Thomas Maloney of Newown with
 force and arms before Arthur J. Hull,
 as Justice of the Peace within and for
 the County of Fairfield, holding a Jus

 within and for said County, on the
 18th day of April, 1908, certain issue
 was duly joined in said court between
 the State of Connecticut and one Will
 liam J. Brew, charging said Brew with
 the crime of arson, which said issue
 came on to be tried before said court
 on said day, and did then and there on
 said 18th day of April, 1908, appear
 and was procured as witness on be-
 half of the state and before said court
 was legally sworn that the evidence he
 the said Thomas Maloney should give
 to said court touching the matters in
 question should be the truth, the whole
 truth and nothing but the truth; then
 and there upon the trial of said issue
 it became material question whether
 said Brew, while in the cellar of the
 dwelling house, alleged to have been
 burned by said Brew, in company with
 said Maloney short time before said
 house was burned left said cellar and entered the apartments within said house, stating that he, the said Brew, intended to go up stairs and let out some dogs within said house and there after returned to said cellar where said Maloney was, and whether said Brew and Maloney remained in said house after all other persons upon said prem- lses had taken their departure, and
 that thereupon the said Maloney being so produced and sworn as aforesaid, devisingly and Wickedly intending to cause and procure a judgment to pass against said State of Connecticut and in favor of the said William J. 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 falsely, 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 1 and said Brew left said house and said premises at the same time and in con- 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 t. his oath aforesaid d es 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- , ously, maliciously and corruptly upon ' lis oath aforesaid commit wilful and { corrupt perjury, in contempt of the \ aws, to the evil example of others and i contrary to the statutes in such cases z made and provided.
