Trial May Last Tho Weeks.
Prior to the adjournment of court.
Mr. Honey Bald R would not take him
longer than 20 mlnu.toB to present
the opening statement of the case for
the government. Probably a some
what longer time will ha required by
the defense, so Hint it Is expected the
major pnrt of tint morning session to
day will bo taker, up In this way. He
fore excusing the oilier jnrt.rs for a
dellulte period. Judge Wolvorton In
quired of Mr. Ileuey for Information
as to how much time would be re
quired (o try the Hermann ease. The
government's prosecutor answered
that he did not think more than two
weeks would ho required to try the
Hermann case. With tills under
Ktandlng Judge Wolvorton excused
all Jurors, not drawn on the I ler
miiuu case, until Monday, January
111, at 10- a. in.
It is generally regarded doubtful
that the Hermann trial can he con
cluded In two veeka U involves
substantially the same testimony and
many of tho same witnesses called
In the trial of Jones, Mays and Soren
son for their part. In the same alleg
ed conspiracy. It. will be remember
ed that, this trial took about three
weeks.
Forty Witnesses Here.
It was not announced yesterday hy
Mr. Honey who will be the first wit
ness for the government. However,
about 40 residents of the eastern
Oregon counties that were proposed
to be incorporated in the lJlue Moun
tain forest reserve have arrived In
the city and are quartered at the
difierent hotels. In the Mays-Joiies-Sorensoh
case, theco witnesses tes
tified chiefly as to the turn timbered
character of the land within the
boundaries of the proposed reserve.
It Is supposed they will give the same
testimony In tho pending caso.
Mays Is in the city and probably
will he one of tho witnesses for the
government. It Is a reasonable cer
tainty that George Sorenscn will also
testify for the prosecution. Although
Sorent'on was convicted jointly with
Mays and Jones in thia same case, ho
lias not been sentenced for the part,
ho played in the conspiracy. Henry
Meldrum and Salmon M. Ormsby ire
among others connected with the
land fraud prosecutions who have ar
rived In tho city. Ormsby was the
agent for the government who Inves
tigated the proposed reserve and rec-.
oinni"iu!ed to the Interior depart
ment that It be established. For his
part In the r.cheme Ormsby Is said
to havo received two quarter sec
lions of school land, Included within
the reserve, as proposed which he
disposed of fcr $1,000 In onsh.
Stubborn right Due.
When the lurgo number of witnes
ses summoned by the government Is
taken Into consideration, it appenrs
altogether doubtful that It will he
noBsihe to conclude the I rial within
the fortnight predicted by Mr. He-1
ney. If nuything. the Hermann trail j
will ho foimht more stubbornly than
was the original hearing on this in
dictment, when the conviction of !
Mays, Jones and Sorenscn was so-1
cured. It would not. be at nit sur-1
prising If a month elaj sea before the
case finally goes to ihe Jury.
