Colonel Page was on Hancock's staff for four month, with headquarters at Winchester, Va. ' Did John Y. Smith forget yesterday when he testified on the witness stand that what he stated was all under oath? It would seem so, when after having plainly denied the charge in the indictment (while under oath), he admitted afterwards to the prosecuting attorney that he "would not care to swear it." He had already sworn it and perjured himself. |
