Ruling by the Court.

Justice Tompkns held there was no
perjury committed by Osborne. mas
much as the warden had the right to
keep invioIate the pledges given con-
victs who had confessed their immoral
ity to him.
To make out the crime of perjury,
the court held, it must appear that
false testimony was knowingly and
willfully given by Osborne under oath.
The jury would not be justified in
finding willful intent or purpose on
the part of the defendant he said
His refusal to answer and his evasive
replies were to keep good the promise
he had made 10 the men when they
confessed to him their offenses and re-
ceived their punishment under prison
management. namely, that they would
not be subject to further punishment
therefor. and that he would go to Jail
rather than betray their onfdence"
Justice Tompkins held further tina
there can lie no perjury unless the
proceeding in which the testimony is
given is authorized by law There is
no proof here that DR.. Diediing was
authorized by law to conduct this in
vestigation or administer noath"

Mr.. Battle announced that he would
apply Immediately for an order to show
cause why MIR. Weeks should not bring
the second Indictment to trial without
delay. while the district attorney said
he would oppose vigorously the order,
as his calendar was too busy for the
