I BEGINNING OP TRIAL.
li. Portland, Or., July 8 One more
notable legal battle began yesterday
morning in the federal court when
' Congressman John N. Williamson, his
partner, Dr. Van Gesner, and Marion
R. Biggs, former United States com
missioner at Prineville, were placed on
trial, charged with conspiracy to secure
public lands through subornation of
perjury. A jury was secured before
! court adjourned at noon, and during
the afternoon the opening statements
to tbe jury were made by attorneys for
the prosecution and defense. The gov
ernment then began the presentation
of its case.
The jury was Becured with unexpect
ed expedition. Only 20 men out of the
panol of 00 were examined and of those
fire were peremptorily challenged,
three by the prosecution and two by
the defense. Three others were chal
lenged for cause by tbe defense or ex
cused by the court. SI x of the jurors
selected are farmers, four are mer
chants and two are manufacturers.
The jury was secured as follows:
August BinnB, grocer Heppner, Mor
row county.
August Carlson, manufacturer, Port
land. Webb Mast, farmer, Coos county.
Barney May, merchant, HarrlBburg,
Linn county.
M. V. Thomas, farmer, Bull Run,
Clackamas county.
G. O. Walker, farmer, Walker, Lane
county.
J. E. Henkle, merchant, Philomath,
Benton county.
W. P. George, restaurant keeper,
Salem, Marlon county.
J. W. Williams, farmer, Junction
City, Lane county.
8. L. Burnaugb, farmer, Elgin, Union
county.
O. H. Flook, farmer, Olalla, DouglaB
county.
W. O. Cook, bricklayer, Eugene,
Lane county.
Congressman Williamson, the central
figure in the cue, appeared early ac
companied by hla partner, Dr. Van
Geiner. The third defendant, Marlon R.
Biggs, was also In court. The attorneys
for the defense are Judge A. 8. Bennen,
who was associated with Senator Thurs
ton In the defense of Senator Mitchell;
H. S. Wilson of The Dalles, and C. W.
Barns, of Prineville.
DE HAVEN DEPENDS CONGRESS.
H, 8. Wilson, of counsel for the de
fense, bad been asking each juror
whether he had any prejudice against
Williamson because of his being a mem
ber of congress. When the same ques
tion was asked of Barney May, a HarrlB
burg merchant, Judge De Haven Inter
jected: " f hat question seems to me to be
needless. I can't conceive that any
man would have aprejudlce against
another because he occupies the high
and honorable office of member of con
gress." '
"Yet there are such men," replied
Judge Bennett.
J udg'e De Haven again expressed his
disbelief that such a prejudice could
exist and Judge Bennett replied :
"There were men on the jury in the
Mitchell case who I am satisfied were
prejudiced against tbe defendant sim
ply because he waB United States sena
tor." ''I know nothing about that, said
Judge De Haven, "but I know that I
was In congress and I cannot believe
that any man would entertain a pre
judice against a defendant simply
b3cause be held a position of Buoh
honor and responsibility."
OPENING STATEMENTS.
Heney began hla opening statement
to the court at 2 o'olock this afternoon.
"This indictment," said he, "charges
that the defendants entered Into a con
spiracy to get a number of people to
file upon lands adjoining and transfer
the lands to themselves, thus securing a
large range. Williamson & Van Gesner
agreed to furnish the money for making
final proof, and did so furnish the
money. There were about 45 olaims
Involved, a part of which passed to
patent. Aa soon as final receipt issued
the agreement was that the lands
should be transferred to Williamson &
Gesner, and each entryman should be
paid 75 In addition to all expenses of
filing and final proof. We expect to
show this, and that Williamson &
Gesner borrowed money to meet the
expenses of this agreement. On 10
claims this programme was carried
out. We expect to show that William
son was preBont when the surveys
were being made of the land, and
pointed out certain claims for location
by the men who bad agreed to use
their rights for the benefit of William
son & Van Gesner. This is the sub
stance of the Government's case."
H. S. Wilson, of The Dalles, opened
for the .defense, and gave aahort state
ment of the business relations of the
defendants. He sald-that orfalHaVly
the firm of Williamson & Van Gesner
Included one Wakefield, and the com
pany was engaged In running sheep In
Crook County. There never was any
agreement between any settlers to
transfer their lands to Williamson &
Van Gesner, said be, but cattlemen
made repeated threats to the Bheepmeu
who grazed their herds over tbe bills
of Crook County. Williamson & Van
Gesner had leased certain Bectiocs of
land from men controlling the lands of
a wagon road grant, and cattlemen re
fused to recognize tbe right of rental on
the part of Crook County sheepmen,
None of these defendants ever bad tbe
remotest Idea that any one was to com
mit perjury or that any one did commit
perjury, and none of the lands In ques
tion bad been sold to Williamson &
Van Gesner.
Campbell Alexander Duncan, of
Prineville, was called as the first
witness of the prosecution.
SUIT AGAINST HENEY.
Francis J. Heney, United States Dis
trict Attorney, 1b tbe defendant In a
suit for 650,000 damages commenced In
the State Circuit Court yesterday by

dicted by the Federal grand jury on

also on July 3 be made application be
fore the United States District court to
have the case set for trial, and that
Heney, actuated by spite, refused to
consent to tbe trial of the oharge,
which waa false and malicious.
Subsequently, It Is staled that Dis
trict Attorney Heney, knowing the
falsity of the accusation agaiost Lord,
and . that there were no facts upon
which It could be founded, and that his
representations to tbe grand jurors
were untrue, did and with leave of tbe
court aod upon bis own motion, on
July 6, 1905, enter a nolle prosequi or
an order of dismissal as to Lord as to
tbe charge In tbe Indictment.
