Gold has been hammered out to thin

would doubtless contain 100000 If all
were as thin as the thinnest one But
a platinum wire has been drawn to a
diameter so minute that 100000 side
by side would occupy one inch. The
method was to surround platinum with
silver and draw the mass into finer
and finer wire. Then the silver coating
was dissolved of with nitric acid. leav-

It therefore appears that the a8- fdavit made by petitioner is untrue. The reproduction of the Criminal Court of Appeals of Oklahoma is best shown by the following:
 ''The Attorney General is instructed to withdraw the papers In said case from the files of this court and present them to the county attorney of Okla- homa county, in order that petitioner and all persons concerned with him in making such untrue statement may Dc prosecuted for perjury.
