February 12. Opinions vary much as to the reliability of Farrell’s evidence in the Burdell case. My confidence in it grows less. Its value depends wholly on the man’s grade of intelligence and general reputation. His identification of Eckel is not conclusive in its favor. All the twenty or thirty people from among whom he selected his man knew what he was brought there for and their glances at the one object of suspicion , even without any special sign of concern in Eckel himself may have guided the witness.
