During all of the sosfen of. the court this morning It was a game of fence, of thrust and parry be tween the government prosecutor on one side and the defense on the otb- r. but candor compels the statement that at different times during the contest Heney pierced the armor of the de fendant and succeeded in "drawing blood." Heney wrung two Important points from Hermann, and one was the admission that he had a generni knowledge of the fact that school lands could be. and perhaps were be ing used for fraudulent exchange un der the lieu land act of 1901. The other point scored by the prosecution was that had Hermann made tempo rary withdrawals of the proposed re serve as soon .as the Investigation Into the feasibility of the reserve was com menced, that fnct would have served as an effectual bar against the fraud ulent acquisition of school lands or other land frauds. These two im portant points came into Heney's pos session after much parrying between the witness and the prosecutor, the intentions and answers passing back and forth concerning the details of the land office routine, the mam question at Issue always bobbing up. and these were skillfully parried by the witness.
