"The suggestions tiat my recen;

'ossession a statement signed by
very member of the jury directly
stating that no technicalities were
considered, and that upon the first

was taken they were unanimous

of perjury was false, and intended

the Indiana company "for his fu

The year ending, be said, would

One Appropriation
Hill Probable
In line with Governor Patter
son's economy program it was
pointed out here Saturday that .i
saving of between $5(M and $100
could be made during the session
by including .ill appropriations
for state activities- in one appro
priation bill. At previous sessions
of the legislature each appropria
tion was considered as a separa'e
measure.
At the session there were
more than 25 separate appropria
tion bills covering items of the
various state activities. It wa.
argued by officials that these
could have been included in one
bill and thereby saed some pages
of printing ill the 1S2T laws, many
pages in the journal record, an
elimination of additional printing
necessary with the printed bills.
In addition to these savings

THE possibility of war with
England as the result of an
apgressive foreign policy on the
part of the Union in regard to
possession of disputed portions
of the Northwest was offset by
the fact that Ireland was hostile
to England, and the possibility
of a rebellion was not remote.
Then, too, England was re
ceiving nine-tenths of her cotton
from the states, and a war
would cut off a profitable source
of revenue.
