There was nothing suspicious in this. On the next day Mr Gotham met Mr Perry Amongst other things Mr. Perry told him that he had sold to the North the previous day roo Indo Chisas at, $41. That was the plaintiff's statement. Mr. Perry told them in the witness box that it was utterly impossible to himto have said so because he did not sell 150 shares on the 6th.

Ope sente ce Mr. Jehason said was excellent advice and would have saved a great deal of other erpentes. He said "Why don't you go and see the defendants " Mr. Gorham answered "No so.". That was not his plan. His plan was to lay traps. This was not the proper way to arrive at the truth. He refused to ask the man he auspicied a word and for four lang months he bad canled on his deception and fald traps. It was very likely he did nothing of the sort.
