ders.
The District Attorney contended that the de-
fendant arranged meeting to obtain an afnuaNlt
contra dieting the one Wyatt had made IN the CNl
suit Mr. Osborne said he offered the affidavit OF
August in order to disprove the claim that SuI|-
bacher had a motive in getting Wyatt out or the
way when he was in possession of testimony tnat
the clerk had committed perjury, and was taking
steps to prosecute him. Judge Malone excluded the
AFFIDAVIT and the defence took an exception

Attorney KreseL
Replying to Mr.. Jerome, the witness said he
understood that Boscowitz & Levy had threat
ened 10 bring criminal charges unless Suizna'H'r
turned over to them $1S7OO0 and that the suit was
for SO1.0OO Explaining why he had ADVISED the
defendant to go To the conference at the Ne"
Netherland Hotel witness said he believed that
an attempt was being made entrap him. Wit
ness also believed he said that some sort OF plaI
was being made by Boscowitz q Levy.
And at the time you knew that Boscowitz q
Levy were hostile to Sulzbacher?" asked MI
Jerome.
Yes"
And that they were unscrupulous persons7'
Il did"
And that Hodges had gone over to them 10

Il suspected that Hodges. young man, had sue
cumbed to their bribes.
