Boone has given out for publication his version of a conversation with Mr. Blackmar, which Mr. Ingersoll desired to have introduced in testimony yesterday, for the purpose of contra- dicting Blackmar. In his interview Mr. Boone represents Mr. Blackmar as having stated to him Wedne that Mr. Wilson’s remarks 1n court had p him in @ very ¢~barrassing position, which he did not think he wu," + to occupy; that he had done hothing except uuiider the instructions ofthe oMicers of vernment; and that he (Boone) see Mr. Wilson cou! for the defense, and have mare Ce or modification of what had been sal 5 mar as saying; “I want the responsibility narra a former conversation with Mr. Blackmar. which occurred just atter Rerdell jeft tiie stand, in which Biackmar said that he hadcalled upon Mr. Merrick for advice, and told him that bedid not want any “Fall or Bowen business” about the matter, Mr. Boone says: “While he did directly to me that Merrick gave him advice, yet hewatd that he acted under instructions, and trom that time forward he was in daily communication with Rerdell,” Mn. KER’S EMPHATIO DENIAL ‘Mr. Ker, when asked to-day about the statement in @ morning paper, purporting to come from one of the counsel for defense, reiterating the charge that the government had ed with Rerdell wo challenge certain jurors, it_emphati- cally. Rerdell, he said, had made the offer wo the government for the pi of showing bis good Talth and proving that he did net se tO act as he had acted with Messrs. James and Mac- a. ‘This offer was promptiy rejected. After an, Rerdelt stilt continued to beg the government to eae him, The government, of ours. Would not take him as awitness without knowing Wie: he had to say, and Mr. Blackmar was told to hear Wisi hg nad tw say. When Iter~ dell had anything to say he Wound Jook at the clock or send a message that he v6 partioulars upon certain routes, “The statement,” sald Mr, Ker, referring to an Interview with an anonymous lawyer for the de- fense in a morning paper, “about challenging Mr. Shields ts utterly false. ‘There was no fatention to challenge him. In point of fact the prosecu- tion challenged every man they wanted to chal- lenge. There was no idea of challenging any more, This statement has bees pub- shed simply to create an impres- sion among the jurymen that the government eet or Neha opeased. So ae of them. a is utterly false, As to the course of the goverment, continued Mr. Ker, “ the that what we did was right was that the court publicly com- mended our action.” Boone atver leaving the seuna, sccording to Dor ne after leaving the stant r= sey’s testimony, haa goi tose Porgy. and was in the habit of visiting ‘MR, BLACKMAR.
