REAL ESTATE UNSALEABLE Suit ot Hie Heirs or, the Johnson Estate to ".Oust Administrator Is Continued In Judge Webster's Court. All yesterday taken up by the de fense in ihe petition of the Johnson heirs for removal of W. M. I-aM adminis trator of the A. H. Johnson estate, and the end is not yet in sight. Judge Web ster will take the case up again this morning and at the conclusion of today's session postponement will be taken until May 24. This continuance was made at the request of Attorney C. E. S. Wood, representing Mr. Ladd. The most important evidence on behalf of the defense yet adduced was brought out yesterday. The plan of defense is si-emingly to establish that Mr. Ladd's management has been as effective aa pos sible under existing financial condition during the time of his service. Wltneaa were put on to show the depressed con dition of the real estate market, espe cially during and the succeeding jrars when Ijdd first had charge of a portion of the Johnson property under a deed ot Uusl ion lb Aurgpa ot mak ing a settlement of Mr. Johnson's enorm ous debts. Testimony of this character occupied most of the morning session, being sup plemented by the testimony of Mr. Wood, who was acting as Mr. ladd"s attorney at the time of the elder Johnson's de mise. The first witness was M. W. Smith, who stated that it was next to impossible to realize on real property anything of its' value during and after the financial panic of 189S. Similar testi mony was offered by L. A. Lewis and Frank Klernan. Mr. Wood told of his personal part in the making out of a trust deed whereby Mr. Johnson set apart a portion of his property to Ladd. Acting under Ladd's Instructions he conferred with Johnson, who was serolusly ill, and made out the deed of trust in accordance with the wishes of the two men. The feature of .the afternoon session was an attack on the deposition made by one of the heirs, Arthur Johnson, who was unable to be present at the trial. Mr. Johnson stated in this deposition, among other things, that his father said in his last conversation with Mr. Ladd and attorneys that he understood the deeding over of the property relieved his estate from further liabilities. Attorney Richard Williams, who was present at the interview in question, denied having heard any such conversation. Testifies for Ladd. Benjamin I. Cohen wa the first, wit ness of the afternoon. Mr. Cohen gave further testimony concerning the panic of 1S93. saying It wae extremely difficult at that time to dispose of property at anything like its real value. Attorney A. C. Emmons testified that on behalf of one of his clients who held a claim against the Johnson estate, he had occasion, several years ago. to in vestigate Mr. Ladd's management of the estate. "What conclusion did you reach re garding his handling -of the estate's af fairs?" asked Attorney Llnthicum, who conducted the examination of witnesses for the defense. "As far as we could tell, he was doing as well as could be expected under the circumstances." replied Mr. Emmons. W. B. Koberu, credit man lor Lang & Co., testified that he had been directed in February, 1902, to investigate the value of the Johnson estate with an idea to determining whether it ws sufficient to meat all obligations. He said that he went over the property and concluded It wag insufficient to pay off the debt against it. When cross-examined by Attorney Rid dell. Mr. Roberts said he made his in vestigation from a list of properties given htm by Mr. Lang, and had no knowledge as to whether the whole of the Johnson esta-te was included in thia inventory. Mr. Williams, the last witness of the day, gave testimony pertaining to the is suance of the deed of trust by Job. neon to Ladd. His sole connection with that transaction, he said, was his reading of the deed as Mr. Johnson's attorney. He understood that the property was to be devoted to the payment of Mr. Johnson's debts. He said he advised fighting the suit in foreclosure brought by Isa-m White, believing it an unwarranted thing that Mr. Johnson should be attached on his deathbed. Mr. Johnson's idea in sign ing a deed of trust was to relieve his wife from the responsibilities of meeting the obligations of the estate, he said. Tells of Hard Times. Regarding the hard times that came after Mr. Johnson's death. Attorney Will lame said the depression was heavy, and that there was In fact no real estate mar. ket at all for several years. ' "I thought I was well off in 1S93," said Mr. Williams, "and was planning a new home, but when that panic came I was glad to stay where I was, and have been In the same house since. A barn which I built at-the "time I did not get paid for until a year. For the first time in my life. too. I went into debt, and am only recently beginning to get straight ened around."

SWOPE IS ARRESTED Accused of Criminal Libel in Linn County. SUNDAY MERCURY'S EDITOR He Is Cliarged by Mrs. 31. Senders, of Albany, With Publishing an I'ntruthful and De famatory Article. William P. Bwope, proprietor of the Sunday Mercury, wae arrested yester day by Sheriff R. L. White, of Linn County, for criminal libel. The com plainant is Mrs. M. Senders, the wife of a well-known business man of Albany. The article causing the complaint was publisned April 7, and refers to Mrs. Senders and Ir. Blake, a dentist. Ed Mendenhall was engaged by Mr. Swope to defend him, and late yesterday af ternoon filed a petition for a writ of xiabeas corpus. which was set for hearing at 10 o'clock this morning by Judge Sears. Mr. Swope was released on ball. "I don't know a thing about it," de clared W. P. Swope, the defendant, last evening. "I don't remember the story, and no complaint was ever made to the office about It until I was arrested to day. I think it' an outrage that such a suit should be started up there in Albany. They just want to get me up thejre, ,.Wlm couldn't tiiey-iave brought i..m 'n. Hamate here that would have been the right thing to do.

Or.. '-. May ' lL-(Special.)-About a month ago the City of Albany was set agog by an alleged libelous article which appeared in the Sunday Mercury, a paper printed in Portland, concerning sev eral Albany persons, among them being the wife of M. Senders, one of the pros perous and prominent business men of the city. The few copies of the paper which are received in Albany were in de mand by gosslpers. and every one in town soon knew of the attack that had been made by the editor of the paper. The standing of the people whom the Mercury had attempted to bring into public scan dal and disgrace is such that the article was immediately branded as absurd, and popular Indignation was aroused, particu larly among friends and relatives of those whom the article besmirched. Talk of libel suits was general ior a day or so, .and an effort was made to as certain if the author of the story was a resident of Albany. No developments were announced, however, until the District At torney quietlv filed a complaint in the Justice Court, with Mrs. Senders as pros ecuting Witness. .The complaint alleges tnat "William p. Swope. on the Tth day of Aprit, 1906, in the County of Linn and State of Oregon, unlawfully, maliciously and willfully con triving and Intending to injure and de fame and annoy one Cora O. Senders, and to bring her into public scandal and dis grace, did unlawfully, wrongfully, will fully and maliciously compose, publish and print in a certain newspaper called the Sunday Mercury, a certain false and malicious matter and libel of Mrs. Send ers." The article alluded to Is set forth in detail in the complaint, which is a long one. occupying several typewritten pages. Mrs. Senders, the prosecuting witness, is a popular Albany woman, the mother of a family and prominent in lodge circles. Against her not a word of scandal was ever breathed prior to the publication of the Swope story. The story is here brand ed as infamous and given no credence whatever.
