When Cardinal was in jail Do!eskl came to him and said "Leo if you: say that it is Torchyn‘s liquor I‘ll get you out of here." That, said Torchyn, was the reason Cardinal insisted that the liquor was his, FTorchyn‘s. â€"Gaid the Crown Attorney: "There is o doubt that Torchyn‘s two witnesses Kalo and Kurski are perjuring themâ€" Selves to get their friend out of trouble, They may be getting money out of it or they may be doing it from friendship but they have perjured themselves." Magistrate Atkinson: "Torchyn had it in hits mind to get this man one way or the other. It was a low reprehen- sible trick but too Iow for him.
