 740 FEDERAL REPORTER. �whether Miller represented or came from the defendants, which was ail that respondent wanted to know. Bumstine, on bis side, said that Miller did not represent them, and that he did not know of any such man, but said that Roths- child might, and he would go and get Eothschild. �Eespondent refused to allow him to go and get Eothschild at ail, but said that he, the respondent, simply wanted to know the fact as to whether Miller came from the defendant or not. Burnstine asked respondent what he thought of the case, when respondent at once stated that he could not talk with him about that, but simply wanted to know the fact stated, and would not stay and converse with him and Eoths- child, and told him that he knew nothing about the jury; that he could not get a word out of him, respondent, and that respondent would not talk about the case at ail, or as to the way the jury stood. Respondent was about going out, and Burnstine said he was going down to see Eothschild, and he would find out whether he knew Miller or anything of him, and asked the respondent if he would call at 10 o'clock, when he would let him know. He further offered respondent a cigar and a drink, which he deelined. He did call again about 10 o'clock, when Burnstine, with something of an air of mystery, insisted that respondent should walk through to bis office. Eespondent went in but did not sit down, when Burn- stine said that Eothschild knew nothing of Miller at ail, and that Eothschild scoutedthe idea; that he would have nothing to do with buying or corrupting a juror, and stated they would not pay a cent to any one for such purpose, but he said that the matter with regard to Miller was very important, as they had no doubt but that Miller represented the other side, and that the defence had been trying to catch some one doing just this thing, as they knew it was going on, and he said to respond- ent that the man called Miller undoubtedly represented the other side, and asked respondent to point him out in the court room the next morning so that he might be exposed, or to let the lawyers of the defence know whenever respondent could put bis eyes on him again, and say nothing about it until he was caught, to which respondent assented. ��� �
