One was exonerated and one was convicted. And now, after standing as co-defendants in a trial stemming from a 1999 New York shooting, Sean "Puff Daddy" Combs and his rap protégé Jamal "Shyne" Barrow have bitter words for each other.
Barrow, who is in jail until an April 16 sentencing hearing, lashed out at Combs in an interview in New York weekly The Village Voice. "He proved that he was just there to save himself," the 21-year-old rapper said. "There are no boundaries to what he would do to exonerate himself. I had the Bible in front of me, and I was just praying that he wouldn't continue to lie." Barrow also alleged, as the prosecution had argued, that Combs and his attorneys got witnesses to lie on the stand: "[Witness Charise Myers] lied for him. Fine. But don't let her testify against me. That's when I couldn't take it anymore. I couldn't believe it. … I couldn't even look at him anymore."

Archer withdrew reluctantly with the unwelcome documents. Since their last meeting he had half-unconsciously collaborated with events in ridding himself of the burden of Madame Olenska. His hour alone with her by the firelight had drawn them into a momentary intimacy on which the Duke of St. Austrey's intrusion with Mrs. Lemuel Struthers, and the Countess's joyous greeting of them, had rather providentially broken. Two days later Archer had assisted at the comedy of her reinstatement in the van der Luydens' favour, and had said to himself, with a touch of tartness, that a lady who knew how to thank all-powerful elderly gentlemen to such good purpose for a bunch of flowers did not need either the private consolations or the public championship of a young man of his small compass. To look at the matter in this light simplified his own case and
-93-surprisingly furbished up all the dim domestic virtues. He could not picture May Welland, in whatever conceivable emergency, hawking about her private difficulties and lavishing her confidences on strange men; and she had never seemed to him finer or fairer than in the week that followed. He had even yielded to her wish for a long engagement, since she had found the one disarming answer to his plea for haste.
