He read from Greenleaf on evidence, section 34, to show that presump- tion of innocence always belongs to defence; also,from Halsted on evidence, that the bi ance of proof does not shift to the defence, but that it rests upon the government.

The basis of the alleged oflence is an affidavit sworn to before a legal officer appointed for that purpose by the state. The counsel then went on to show that withou: the certificate of John H. Crane no payment could have been made for the defective ard fraudulent werk; and when Crane signed that certificate that the work was properly con structed it was little else than false sw: aring on his part. ‘The signals given ae sworn to by sev- eral witnesses, by raising the hand to the head aidthe exclamation that “the country is not safe,” on the approach of Crane, was proof pos- itive that Crane was aware of the frauds,and tha he did nothing to prevent them.
