A tty. W. If. Metson, who was on
the stand during pai t of today, de
c red that JacU e Noyes had told
1 i 111 an untruth in one instance. It
was only after the most persist
ent effort that he induced Judge
A* ves to raise the bond of McKen
zie $5000 to $45000, although tiie
i ines in the hands of the receiver
were, as he said, producing as high
as $1 >,000 a day. He also said that
j idge Noyes not only threatened to
turned over all the personal proper
ty of the defendant miners to Mc
Kenzie’s receivership, but did so,
and he showed a disposition to shirk
liis dnty at least inforcing the writs
o; supercedeas. The testimony of
ex-Marshal Vawter' in relation to
to the spies appointed at the re
quest of Inspector Frost and with
the sanction of Judge Noyes to
wateh the movements of tire attor
neys opposed to McKenzie was
corroborated by Metson, who told
t.i the auger holes through the par
tition ‘into his (flee end tie
ei Judge Johnson, that they might
overhear any conversation that took
place.

dor the match, the creeks were not

1
i considerable coaxing on the part
, of Baker and Tofty to get Barber
I to goon, tiie crowd present, so P; r
I
ber said, was not large enough for
I
him to box for gate receipts alone.
The fight lasted barely four rounds

Barber’s second throwing up the
aponge. The fight clear thro’ the
!
i
f
four rounds was in favor of Parker,
/
who with his 20 lb. advantage clear
ly out classed the plucky Barber.
The contest was a remarkably clean
one, and from the time Parker step

W. R. Edwards were timekeepers.
It is reported that Barber does not
know7 when he is beaten and will
endeavor to get a purse and have
another bout with the bulky Parker
some time in the near future.
