Flîchet ays that York threatened dire cousequence if the former told on hlm. He suggested to Ficheit to accuse the innocent man, and let hlm suffer for the oiher's crime. If it can nov be shovu that Fitchet'a latest atory ia true, York should not only be sent down the fut) tomt of the law for robberv and haro -hur- ing, but should alse he salîed to the (uest crient for conapiracy to convict an innocent ia nsusd have penalties inflictcd upon him.
