Hermann said to Puter:
"You're down and out All you can do

about it. Maya replied, . T know it
Nothing eould be better for you than
tb be Indicted by Hall. ' 1 - -
k government agent named Greene
haa gathered evidence enough to- indict
you. . Ed Mays ,1s a deputy under Halt,
and If you are indicted I can have the
case postponed one or two year and
then thrown out If you' are. not-!n-dloted
now Hall may lb succeeded by
tent on who will prosecute you and
send you over the road." . ; y.
BrowaaU to Tla Tarj. , 'I . r
Puter teatlfled that he objected to the
arrangement, but waa Indicted anyway.
Before thla happened he expected George
C. Brownell. to be appointed as Hall's
aucceaeor. -Aeoording to Putsr testi
mony he had hired 3rownell to fix grand
Juror for him, - that he gave Brownell
money for the fixing, but nothing was
don. Later Brownell draw out of th
fight for United State attorney. Puter
aaid It waa because Brownell feared
Halt would-indtct- him. Captain- Orma

that Indicted Puter.
Puter further testified, that May was
his attorney after hla indictment, that
Mays went Into court with him, but
aooa afterward said: "They are becom
