a ; confidence begotten betVeen people,
when one must not suppress the truth,

j should, or eouW have told her?
I have no right to tell you. because
you are the judges of the testimony In
thla case, and you are to say in what
relation they dealt, whether there was
' that honest and fair dealing between
t them that would characterize fair deal -
, Inga between people. And, if in this
j. case you find. In the dealings, there
' waa a clear understanding that Miss
' Champers was to pert with whatever
right of recovery she had for her In
.' Juries,: and vthere was no confidence
begotten by reason of their relations,
and by reason of what had happened,
i and that there waa ho suppression of
