Wants His Pay.

One of the astute witnesses for the defense in the Sheedy case, who while upon the stand swore he had no connection with the cases, and was In no way employed by the defence, is roaming around the city, wild-eyed with indignation. Since the trail closed it has developed , according to his statement, that he was in the employ of the defense, and he has been heard to remark that unless he receives compensation for his services somebody will have to leave town. He is especially indignant at Sam Melick, and he swears he will have pay or blood. The same man, together with others, is said to have hounded Col. Biggerstaff for pay for alleged services rendered and even followed him to the train the evening of his departure for Idaho and demanded money. The astute westerner is said to have confronted the fellow with his statement on the witness stand that he was in no matter employed by the defense, and invited him to migrate to a sultry clime for his pay. The echoes of the sheedy case promise to reveal some interesting disclosures and they may come sooner than expected.
