Cooper Morris jury, says he has been '"double crossed" by the district "attorney's office. Locked in the county jail under indictment for attempted brib ery, and unable so far to raise the required $1000 bond, Guilford thas smade a. statement which he" says is the true statement of the facts of the transaction, and which puts "Bob" Patterson, notorious as a divekeeper in the city, and L J. Fitzgerald, chief deputy district attorney, in the role of the insticrators of the plot to offer Barton a 'bribe for the purpose of smirchinsr " represented Morris, and who are r ltzgerald. "Count' Morris Senosky and ' Kiernan, personal and business associates of fitzjjerald and rattef on, are also mentioned by Guilford ;up of the deal. .' ' GOT "DOUBLE CROSS." ' . r Accordinsr to Guilford's statement, he was out uo to the at tempt to bribe Barton by Patterlon, who told him, that the district attorney's office, Fitzgerald, Senosky, and Kiernan wanted to catch Fouts and Sweek "with the goods on them." Acting on this infor " mation, Guilford, says, he went to Fouts and put the, proposition of bribing Barton up to. him. All during the course of the negotia tions he reported to Patterson, he says, who assured him that he would be taken care of, and that,.if he were to be caught, all that Fitzgerald would want of him was his testimony. He was given to understand that Fitzeerald was after Fouts and Sweek, and told . that his work was eood. V ' ,; .. After: his. arrest, Guilford says,- he still thought Fitzgerald would protect him, as Patterson had "promised, and it was only lately that it dawned upon nim.tnar, iMtzgeraici .was giving nim tne "double cross."

I represented to Patterson that J was working with a. real estate ; and bond concern, but never 'told hint Just what one. We talked considerable, and the . longer J was "around the place the more friendly Pattersbn appeared to be to me. ('"One day, I made a hit with Patter on, when a drunken man attempted to bluff me out on ' a little argument Patterson met me onjthe street the next day, nd asked me to come down to his aloon, as he had something to talk about I went down that afternoon, and hVuld he could not talk about It, " but for me to come back'the next day, and lie would have more time.
