Still Trying To Bluff Michael

On a warrant from Monroe county charging perjury George W. Michael our former townsman was placed under arrest Wednesday at Li Fayette and taken to Bloomlngtm where he piomptly gave bail. A charge similar to the present one against Mr. Michael was nolle prossed a few weeks ago, but the matter was levived and another affidavit filed. Mr. Michael says he is not w< trying, as he considers the case simply spite work. He thinks the charge is made with a view to influencing the m nds of the court and jury in the trial of U. B. Kellogg, in which Mr. Michael will be an important witness. The desperate and dead beat crowd Mr. Michael is fighting against of course have no fear of a suit for mali cious prosecution for what good would a judgement be against such an irresponsible gang!
