THE MORXIXG OREGOXlAX. "WEDNESDAY, . JANUARY ' 15. 1908. 11 DEFENDANTS MAY isnm ini.Tr ni i i litirLlbHIt MALL Rumors That One or More of Alleged Fellow-Conspirators . Will Make Confessions. IMMUNITY BATH READY? Heney Refuses to Discuss the Story That He Has Pound Means to Strengthen Case Against Ex- . tnlted '"' States Attorney. Francis J. Heney. who Is about to be gin the trial of John H. Hall, and 11 other defendants In the Butte Creek case, denied last night that -the Government is without sufficient evidence to convict Hall, but he would neither affirm nor deny the rumors that are afloat to the effect that one of the three defend ants, W. W. Steiwer, Clarence B. Zachary and H. H. Hendricks, is about to con fess, or Is willing to confess, and by that confession strengthen the case against Hall. That Mr. Heney has a surprise to spring during tho Hall trial is certain, but whether it will come In the way of" "a confession from one or all three of the defendants mentioned. Heney Is not say ing. When asked last night whether any confessions had been made to him. "Mr. Heney smiled his broad, knowing smile and answered by saying: , "The bars are down and I am suscep tible. I will gladly listen to whatever any of the defendants have to say." Then he added. "Any time T have a coup to make. I'm not going to give out the tip until I am ready. Perhaps some of the attorneys for the defendants can tell whether some of the defendants have mBdc. or have offered to make, confes sions.' Steiwer Will Xot Talk. Steiwer also refused to discuss the ques tion, when asked last night, at the Im perial Hotel, whether he had talked with Heney. Steiwer said that he had been in structed by his attorney. Henry K. Mc Ginn, not to discuss his case, and referred the Interviewer to the attorney. Judge McGinn dismissed the matter by saying that his client "had nothing to confess." The story that leaked out yesterday was to the effect that Heney, in order to make sure of his case aalnst Halt, had made overtures to several defendants to supply the evidence that he was lacking against Hall, and that in return for the evidence, the Immunity bath would be ready. It Is said that Steiwer stands ready to plead guilty to fencing public lands, but that he is not willing to admit that he Is guilty of conspiracy. While gossip had It that Steiwer was the man willing to talk, there was also an Impression abroad on the street that It was Zachary who had gone to Heney and tofd all he knew about Hail's con nection with the Butte Creek case. ' In one of the other trials growing out of the same case. It was Charles A. Wat son who made a confession, and it is believed that the famous Heney method is about to get results again. . Trial Postponed, a Day. , . When the Federal Court convened yes terday morning Mr. Heney asked for a postponement until this morning, in order, that, Tracey C. Becker, who has been assigned to assist In the ' prosecution of the land-fraud cases, may be present. Attorney Becker, on account of a late train, was not able to reach the city In time, and Heney informed Judge Hunt of the fact, saying that he wished Attorney Becker to be in court when the trials began. Judge Hunt was disinclined to grant, further delay and gave notice that in order to make up for time already lost it would be necessary to hold longer ses sions. Mr. Heney was glad to get another day in which to get the Hall case ready for trial. The delay has given him a chance to go over all the evidence in the case and to meet some of the important' Gov ernment witnesses. There was some gossip around the eourtroom yesterday that the trial would be further delayed by a 'demand by John H. Hall for a separate trial. Hall, tlj rough his attorneys, filed a petition for a separate trial at the time of his arraignment, but the matter has never been brought up since. Judge Lionel R. Webster, who is associated with Hall in the trial of his own case, said last night that there would be no demand made for a separate trial, and that so far as Hall was concerned, the case is ready for trial. Select a Jury Today. When ourt convenes this morning, un less there is some other unlooked-for de lay, the work of selecting a jury will be gin. It Is Mr. Heney's intention to try for a Jury out of tho 53 men still left on the panel. No special venire will be called unless there Is a reason to believe that a jury cannot be obtained. Another thing that will perhaps he dis posed of before the Government gets into the trial of the Butte Creek case, is the plea in abatement, filed by Attorney W. Ialr Hill, attorney for F. P. Slays, which was before the late Judge Bellinger. Mays, through- his attorney filed the plea in abatement, asking that the indictment against him be quashed on the ground that George Gustin, a member of the grand jury that found the Indictment was not a naturalized citizen of the United States. It is not believed that this re quest will be granted, for Gustin is said to have been able to get his naturaliza tion papers and will show that he has been in the United States 33 years.

HERE TO AID HENEY Tracy C. Becker -Joins Gov ernment Counsel. ASSIST IN THE HALL TRIAL Buffalo Attorney Will Hhvbj Charge of Land-Fraud Prosecution After Heney Returns to the San laneisco Casc. ' Tracey C. Becker, of Buffalo, N. Y., who was appointed by Attorney-General Bonaparte to continue the investigations made by Attorney B. D. Townsend Into the Southern Pacific land-grant matters, and also to assist Francis J. Heney in the prosecution of the Oregon land frauds, arrived In Portland yesterday on Tracy C. Becker, Who Will Assist Mr. Heney in the Land-Fraud Prosecutions. the delayed Southern Pacific train from California. Mr. Becker's connection with the prosecution of Oregon land frauds will begin this morning and unless there are changes in the present programme, he will try the remaining land-raud cases after Heney Is through with the Hall trial. Mr. Becker is one of very prominent members of the Buffalo bar. He is per sonally acquainted with President Roose velt and several members of the Cabinet. "While Mr. Becker has been connected with a great number of Important legal cases In New York state, this is the first time that, he has been connected .. with legal matters for the Government. Mr. Becker was admitted to the bar In 1876 and during his legal career he has been counsel In many important legal cases. At the request of the Attorney General of New York, he was employed as counsel and conducted the investiga tion and criminal prosecution of the president and board of directors of the German Bank, of Buffalo, which failed In 1905. He Is a Republican in politics, r ; :s - I t i V - I i 1 ' fl - I t v - f t . " vi but his appointment by the "Attorney- General was not influenced by party con sideration. "I was appointed by the Attorney-General for the -purpose of Investigating the Southern Pacific " land-grant matters," said Mr. Becker yesterday afternoon, "and while on my Way to Oregon for this purpose, I received a- letter from Mr. Bonaparte asking me to assist Mr. Heney and I am here for that purpose. This Is the first time I have ever been employed In a legal way by the Government. I don't know why the appointment was made. I do know, that It was not made GOOD 1.ITCK TO JTOE. The fallowing communication has bees reoelved by The Oregon lan. with a request tor publication: , We hear that Joe Donovan, one of ' our esteemed young men, has enlisted In the Coast Artillery as an engineer. We are sorry to Loose Joe. We, as his social frieeiKte and aqulntinces Wish him all kinds of good Luck In his new Field of usefulness, as he was a credit to the Whole Nelghborholdt. Re Is a first-class citizen and a noble son. Well. Joe, old Boy, Bring Back as good a Record as youe Left be hind. " R- as the result of a political pull. I do not know personally any of Oregon's Sena tors or Representatives. While I was In Washington I was Introduced to one of your Senators, but it waa only for a moment." Mr. Becker was born In Cohoes, N. Y., February 14, 1S55, and Is descended from an old New York family of Holland Dutch descent. Mr. Becker was graduated from Union College, Schenectady, N. Y., with the degree of Bachelor of Arts, in 1S74, when 19 years of age. Without delay he began the study of law, and In 187 was graduated from the Albany Law School, receiving the degree of LL. B. In 1876, barely 21 years of age, he was admitted to the bar .of the Supreme Court, of New York. After a short time spent in the practice of law in his birthplace, Cohoes, N. Y., he removed tp' Buffalo, N. Y., and has ever since been engaged there In the active practice of law. He early be came engaged in public services of a legal character. From 1881 to 1885 he served as Assistant District Attorney, of Erie County. He was elected a member of the New' York State Constitutional Convention of 1894, and by appointment of Joseph H.. Choate, the chairman of that body, served as chairman of the com mittee on legislative organisation. He was also a member of. the cities and judiciary committees of that convention. In 1886 a number of Buffalo lawyers, of whom Mr. Becker was one, organized the Buffalo Law School, now a department of the University of Buffalo, -and a flourish lng educational Institution. Since its or ganization, Mr. ' Becker has been a mem ber of its faculty and lecturer on criminal law and medical jurisprudence. Mr. Becker is an'enthusiastic believer in the future of the Paclflo Coast, where he has considerable business interests chiefly in mining In Northern Nevada and California. Stabbing; Affray at LInnton. Joe Perrula, a Greek laborer, was stabbed in the face and head by a num ber of hfs fellow countrymen, in a saloon brawl, at LInnton, yesterday afternoon, and in response to a telephone call. Con stable Lou Wagner visited the scene. After Investigating. Wagner arrested four Greeks and took them to the County Jail. Owing to their inability to speak English their names were not learned last night. One of the men arrested is said to have admitted having stabbed Perrula. The in jured man Is being taken care of by friends at LInnton. An were employed in a sawmill - at that place. HAW PRICK RISER CALENDARS. 14c up while they last. 248 Alder. A Lumber Manufacturing; Investment for the Man With Limited Means This company owns 125,000,000 feet of standing timber, a large part of which is white and sugar pine, the balance being high-grade fir. The company already has its mill, is now building a nine-mile flume to the railroad, and has a local demand for all the lumber it can manufacture. A sufficient amount of money is now being raised to com plete the flume, install additional .machinery to increase the output of the mill and acquire valuable adjoining timber, now held by options. When enough has been se cured for these purposes, the stock will be permanently taken from the market. Two infallible arguments are offered in substantiation of the value of the property. First, the land is already assessed upon the basis of the same valuation at which it was turned over to the com pany by the original holders. Second, every dollar invest ed in the stock of this company is secured by more than a dollar's worth of standing timber. This opportunity enables the man with limited means to invest in a going lumber-company, on a small scale, exactly as the wealthy lumbermen of the East have invested in the larger propo sitions of the West, on a large scale. The percentage of profit in this enterprise is the same as in the gigantic lumber corporations. An investment in this stock will be to you the foundation of a source of profit that will prove as remunerative to you as the big investments of the men of large means have to them. The wage-earner, as well as larger investor, is invited to investigate this opportunity. Full Particulars, Price and Terms Upon Application to Three Pines Timber Co.
