In siibsl.ineo Judge Dundy charged Geiitltmeu of Ihe imy , it is impossible thu nntuie of things for you to IMS judgment upon this enso without caie- fully weighing the evidence introduced. You nre possibly all fnnnl ar Wilhtho f ets. Y'ou weic most of tvou picsunt at a ptcvious liial , very similar lo ibis , in whieh verv much the . ame questions weru involved. You saw then , evidence from the same elass ot witnesses. You have luul a chance dining these tnals lo tindcisl.ind human natiirn and become acquainted with tlie pei tidy of man. It has been a doploiable state of allaiis. Tlio amount of tieaehery. pcrjuiy and purlidy biought to ligjit in Ihcsc cases has ex ceeded anything ever witnessed by th s eouit. Somu of the witnesses have ad- milled that in j > x instances , in this eouit , Ituvo they committed the ciime of per jury. 'Ihe testimony ol a confessed peijuier is absolutely excluded liom the couils by Ihe enactniPiit of llio coniriess of the United Stales , and should receive no considuiation at \ . our hands. A man who commits the ciiinu of perjury is an outcast fioui tin SP points ami the seal of jei ) jury is indel bly stamped ujion h s fbiehead. Hut witnesses have come in here without Ihn least show ot shnnie and admitted that Iheio is no shadow of iminhood about them.

Not ono of Ihcm can say that their degraded lives mo passed in the confines of this stale.

If such lestimony as i have described bus been submitted to jou. you sh ill refuse to consider it un less it lias coriobonitivo testimony.

Sit ting in their otlices in Denver the wealthy swiiidleis have pulled thuwiics and m- ranged Ihu plans to u-o these poor men to commit iheir crimes. Judge Dundy then proceeded to define a couspiiaey and instruct the jury as to their duty. They then relit cd , and after deliberating for three hours announced that they had agiccd upon a vvidict , Court , which had ndjomned , was leas- sumblcd , and thu veuhul was announced.
