everyone was not aware that creditors represented in the suit by Marshall Royleheld what they thought was a trump card This trump card was played during the present trial in court Marshall Royle in combatting Sheeks Rawlins claim that the sale was an out and out transfer made in good faithcalled as their witnesses about the last person one would have expected to see them put on the witness standno less person than Coffee John himself In response to the questions of the lawyers he made the following zitY RACY CONFESSION Certain of his creditors had been pressing him for payment of claims amounting to 700 or 800 he said He I was in deep water in fact and he con cieved the idea or as he claims Brian cher conceived it for him of finding some onti who would go in with him tog to-g t the better of these importunate creditors To this ena he says Herr man Brisacher who furnished the money and did all the business for Solomonproposed that he should sellout sell-out to him for 2000 that Brisachers name should be put up over the doors but that it should only be blind as the 2iKX would be returned as soon as paid This was agreed upou Coffee John stated and Brisacher for hiS services was to receive the sumof 200 The announcement of the sal was made and Bri achers name was flung out to the breeze an proprietor Coffee John states that Brisacher made the payment to him in the little back room therestaurant batas he had stated at the commencement knew Bri skcher of old in Nevada thought he waa a man who would steal and with en Itirefrankness I said thiswas the reason he went to him ne tnougnc no was just the kind of man to do it Haying this sort of distrust of his confnre he took a little precaution to make himself sure Justtbefore Brisacher came in Mr John posts two of his waiters Hickey and Wilcox behind a pileol boxes tellrhg them that he wants them to listen closely and take note ef what is to follow What followed was this The two waiters say they saw Brisacher give John two checks one qn Wells Fargo Co for 700and one on the Union National Bank for 1300 After the two had gone out and obtained ob-tained the money they returned and the waiters say they saw Coffee John hand back the money to L nrr r uU a on tac xsnsacner oimeu ouuu asia v u Ux witness stand that having now eivcn thtj Brisachers a bil of sale of all his them back goods and having given their money he was entirely in their hands When he demanded after sometime some-time that they give up to him cording cord-ing to the agreement they laughed at him and perceived that he was sold that tho Brisachers intended fo rob him He had accordingly gone to Mr Dooly cashier of Wells Fargo Co and made a clean breast of the whole thing and upon this Mr Dooly and the others had immediately levied upon tJ e l goods This in brief was Coffee Johns story of how he came to sell out to the BrUcachers Sheeks S Rawlins led I him a pleasant crossexamination eliciting the fact thathe had been known by different names in different communities com-munities and the additional fact that he had left one town in Nevada between two days because threats were made by the miners to lynch him Mr Royle for the defense charged after the Brisachers in steep style characterizing character-izing them as hyenas who wanted to rob Coffee John who he said at the same time ought to be kicked for being a party to anv such scheme Mr Rawlina made a fiery and eloquent elo-quent plea for the Brisachers and charged that a plain scheme had been exposed a deep laid and cunning scheme by which Coffee John had deliberately set to work to rob the Brisachers of 2 000 by selling out to them then by Kcine to work and telling everyonethat it was all understood between him aud the Brisachers by cooking the two waiter and finally by consummating his design by telling thf tory to Dooly well knowing that his creditors would seize and realize upon his goods while he had Brisachers 2000 in his pocket It was shown that Coffee John had been seen with considerable money after he claimed to have handed it back to Brisacher Marshall Boyle met this by testimony showing that John had received money from Hickey and from other sources one of them being Mr Smedley who gaye him 5100 for n Bheeks cancellation of his insurance Lt Rawlins argued that Coffee John not have cancelled his insurance would Marshall had he not sold out entirely produced the evidence of wit Koyle nessesrwhom Coffee John had told that II between all arrangement itwas an was and the Brisachers but this the him of other side side chargedwas also part the wily Johns scheme to manufacture evidence to support his plan between There were a few pleasantries the counsel during yesterday Mr Rftyle referring to Mr llawlins as a young cyclone who was eager to get at the and charged him with branding jury and impugning the men as perjurers motives of counsel Mr JJawhns retorted re-torted in a red hot manner by calling Mr Royle a pious sanctified hypocritical hypo-critical individual who was OL course too saintly to do any of the things he charged him the speaker with doing Thft iurv retired at 5 oclock and were instructed if they
