Touching the amount of credence to bo given Her- dell's testimony , Judge Wyllo said it was not to be dhcrodltod because it was that of an accomplice , If It was corroborated by other witnesses and sustained by material theory and as pect of the case. In considering the testimony given by the defendants , the jury must make allowance for the temptation to which they wore exposed. He conld not grant the government's prayer that the jury be directed to regard ns circum stances tending to provo guilt , the refusal ot the defence to produce books aud other written evidence upon notlco.
