The explunations of the Government counsel and the sdrolt {encing of Mcssrs, Law- rence and Campbell, who represented defend- ant, were deeply mtercating.

We knew what wo wera dolng, nnd In iho first intervlow that was hadin Judge Bangs’ office between Judgo. Lawrenca on_ the one aido and udge Baugs, Mr. Ayer, and myself npon ths othor, afier Judyo Lawrence had mado his prop- osition, this was distinctly atated to him: '\2"0 cannot, under any circumstances, give Mr, Rehm complets immunity,” To which Judge Lawrenco replied, In words tint1 romember exactly: ** We don't expect it; we don't ask for it." Subsequently, when oo interview was had at Mr, f,‘umphulfin ‘house, his first proposition was that Rehm wonld come in and plead guilty, and recelve his sentencu before teatifylng, Thot shows preciscly whnt was in the minds of all theso partica: that cumplets ini- ‘munity was not neked for, Wao declineid that propn- sitlon becanse it was impossible,—we should I unable to E!ll partice In tho right ahapa hefore the Conrt, ‘The Court would not know what renteace to lmpose until it had heard the testimony of tho defendant. That waa nbandoned.

Jodpe Lawreuco—The refersuco is to tho lma> prisonment. Mr, Houtell—Ah, you mecant to confine it to tho imprisoninent. You bogan- by stating that Judgo Hougs had xtated thathu would not recommend a longer term than six months, and you went on to spoak of tha Imprlsonmont, and yon eald your in- derstanding was that you had a right to ank for the lowest torm of impritonment. But nothing was wafd by him or mysclf in reference to thu fine. What was aald In tho oftica of Campbell & Lawrence in reference to the matter of fine was this: that wo should Inalst npon thoe highent fine which the law would allow, That was nut objected to by them, The position which thoy took was that the highest fine was $10,000. We'inalstod that the Court might propurly hold that there were at least two offenscs sct furth in this indictment,—one, under the old law of 180K, and the other under the law of 1874, —~and that through thom we had the right to clalm ailneof atleast $:20, 000, and it wos agreed that that should Le sub- mitted to the Court aa a question of 1aw. Upon lookingat the indictment. tho Conrtwns tosay ‘whetlior there wore one or two offenscs, and wo were to nsk for tho highest Pmunlnry fino which the Court could impose under the law, ~That Is tho only mod!fcation 1 desiro to make to your afida- - vit, Inreferencoto .

And they did claim tho right, and we conceded 8, that tlla{ miglit aak to have that imprisonment Ight as possiblo, Mr. Campbell—The word was nominal, No, we did not consont to any nomlinal imprisonment, but that they mignt take the privilege to urge ta tho Conrt all the connidera- tlons thoy could adduco In favor of Iiehm ini taking into view the §mportance of his testimony, and asking the Court {0 have tho sentence mado as much Jess than six months as théy were ablo to convinco the Court it should be made, and I ro- member ono of the gentlemon made use of the ex+ prossion that **if Xohm teatifed falriy hie did not |‘am ‘ah“ the Court sentenced him to, "It mixht b or a day.
