Show Infamous Proceedings. C. W. Baker, the principal witness for the prosecution in the Robinson murder sase at Salt Lake, has since subscribed Lo an affidavit in which he states that the testimony he gave at the examination examina-tion before judge McKcan was wholly untrue and false; that he was bribed to give such testimony by S. Giilson and others for the purpose of convicting Lhe parties charged with the murder; that ho was to recoive five hundred dollars in any event and one thousand dollars for each person convicted. Baker is a confessed perjurer, and of oourse his affidavit must be taken with many grains of allowance if in fact it should be at all regarded without corroborative cor-roborative evidence; but if true, it evidences evi-dences a state of affairs in Utah unprecedented un-precedented in tho history of this or any other country, barbarous or civilized. civil-ized.
