papers. The Carlisle charges state that
the two were often in each others com

among the attorneys for the defence
which Mr.. Osborne stopped by saying
that no one accused Carlisle of receiv

such accusation was made, but said that
ne wanted 10 show that there was
conspiracy 10 favor the Barber Com
