HY CONVICTED IN LAND FRAUDS BY STACKED JURIES Dnsori upon Investigations made by tlio department or Justice, President Taft In pardoning Wlllard Jones, con victed of land frauds by Francis J. Honey, lifts denounced tlie convictions obtained In Oregon by Detective Win. J. IJuniB and Prosecutor Honey as rank pcrvornlons or justice, due to outrageous manipulations of juries. Tlio convictions of prominent Mud ford men wero obtained by the sain methods. H. H. Schwart, attorney for Jones, In replying to Honey's accusations that tlio pardon was Focural by politi cal Influence, makes tlio following statement: "Tlio , fact of tlio matter is that politics liad absolutely nothing to do with tho granting of tbc pardon. It Is further u fact that politics had nil to do in securing tho conviction not only of Jones, but of Mays, William son, Mitchell, Hendricks and such other defendants as were convicted. UascU Upon Investigation "Absolutely no recommendations or petitions by citlzuns were consid ered by the president at tho time the pardon was granted. Tho iard was finally granted becnus?, In tho opinion of tho department and he president, the official records now on fllo In the department support tho charges mndo by Jouos. TIo charges were, briefly: First, that false and highly prejudicial testimony had beon given In tho trials against him; sec ond, that witnesses were coerced and Intimidated by the government offi cers Into testifying falsely; third, that tho prosecution selected a Jury with political bins and stuffed tho jury wlthjnen whom they had Interviewed and found were for tho conviction of tho defendants. "Tho president jn his warrant ct pardon recites that the commitment of Jones had been postponed for the purposo of investigating the truth of tho charges made by him, and further recites that a careful investigation has been made by tho department, and that as a result of such investi gation it is necessary, and he does grant a full and unconditional pardon to Mr. Jones. In his letter directing tho pardon to be prepared for his signature, the president says that the manipulation of the jury box was the most high-handed outrage that had ever como to his attention In his en tiro experience on the federal bench. and ho designates Heney and Burns by name, and says that their conduct was reprehensible In the extreme. Political .Manipulation. "So far as Mr. Heney's pretended belief that Mr. Jones secured aid be cuuso of Senator Fulton's political strength, tho fact of tho matter is that all the politics connected with tho Oregon land cases was tho politi cal manipulations by which the con victions wero secured. The official records disclose a closo political com bination to disrupt and ruin the re publican party in the state of Oregon and a complete understanding and sympathetic co-operation between ths machinery of tho Federal Court and tho office of the Public Prosecutor, Heuey, Jn the conduct of these trials. Tho brazen disregard of tho most ele mentary principles of fairness and justice, 8 evidenced by the official records, is only exceeded by tho pres ent Immaculate gall of Mr. Heney Jn his effort to make it appear that Mr. Jonea had a fair trial and that he escaped punishment becauso of the weight which the Preslent might give to u bare letter of indorsement by Senator Fulton. "Tho followlug recommended n eompleto parden: Governor Oswald "West, democrat; Senator Chamber lain, democrat; et-United States Sen ators Simon and Fulton, republicans; Sonator Bourne, anti-Tuft republican; Congressman Lafferty, Insurgent re publican; ex-Goveruor Bowermun, re publican; Circuit Judge Hunt, tjio triul Judge; Editor Jackson of the democratic Evening Journal. These represent tho extent of the indorse ments from omjnent persons having prominent political character," DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL POSSIBILITIES.
