ternity building Into which I had I
pone on business on the morning of

was the substance of his testimony
Mr Farmer Is a reputable citizen
s and above susplcloyi of perjury Hit
evidence It Is understood was sr
cured after hard work on the part
N partI
want to mix up In the affair and this
Is the reason lie did not appear the
