1Opinion of the Court
BAKER, Circuit Judge.
Plaintiff in error was convicted of suborning a witness at a hearing in a bankruptcy proceeding to commit perjury.
A most flagrant case bn the part oí a member of the bar in corrupting a witness was completely presented in the' indictment, amply sustained by the evidence, and fully and fairly submitted to the jury by the charge of the judge. Assignments of error with respect to indictment, variance, and charge need no specific attention. Two questions remain that require statement and answer.
