Opinion of the Court

The opinion of the Court was delivered by

Mr. Justice Bonham.

The decree of Judge Dennis sets forth fully the facts in this remarkable case. Elis disposition of the case is satisfactory to this Court. Let it be reported.

The appellants and their fellow conspirator, Scarborough, have learned by sad experience that Sir Walter Scott spoke truth when he wrote: "Oh, what a tangled webb we weave, When first we practice to deceive."

Judgement affirmed.

Mr. Chile Justice Stabler and Messrs. Justices Baker and Fishburne concur. Mr. Justice Carter did not participate on account of illness.
