R ? Wortbingtoa Will Probably Close This Afternoon f HENEY'S LANGUAGE POINTED Asserts Defendant's Ambition to be Senator Caused Him to Wink : ;' at Land Frauds Special to the Evening Review. PORTLAND, Or., Feb. 10. Elo quence canio Into the Hermann trial for the first time today, when John M. Gearin delivered the opening ar gument for the defense to the jury. Reviewing the testimony introduced, he contended that Hermann was guiltless of' wrong doing and that the Government's own evidence showed this. Gearin closed his ad dress at --.12:15 o'clock this after noon. Col. Worthington will take up the argument for the defense this after noon and probably close at the hour ot adjournment. Heney. as was ex pected, did not finish his opening argument . yesterday afternoon, though the court held its session v. half hour over the usual time. Ity agreement he was allowed to con clude his opening statement today. , Knys Hermann Was Insincere. Throughout the argument yester day, Heney attacked the veracity of Hermann In an attempt to show the defendant was more interested in n political preferment than in the pub lic good, and that Hermann's mo tives were not sincere. "Hermann started out to show that ho was the only man in the In ferior Department who was looking I out for the interests of the dear peo ple, and that he went before the committee on public lands in advo cacy"f remedial legislation. . "Compare the attitude of Hor- faffVinn with the attitude of Hitch Wi-Jok and the jury will he led to the irreslsta'blo conclusion that Hermann was giving t lie people buncombe. Hermann knew that Congress would not repeal the lieu land law at that time, and as a matter of fact it was not repealed until after the indict ments had been returned against these defendants in 190 "i resulting tn a great clamor from the public. "Hermann was the man above all . 'others who was charged with saving the public lands from the timber thieves. Hermann had the knowl edge aifd referred to It in his reports for 1900 and from year to year, but the lands could not be saved by special agents of the type of Loomis 1 A Yt O f J I V ft llC VLC Ctft lung tissues are seriously injured.

The lands could have been saved by Hermann had he read the newspapers during his many visits to Oregon from I 189S to 1901, or by talking with I people who knew what was going on. "We are going to show that Her mann lied on a number of occasions, and that he never hesitated to do so when the truth would hurt him." Changing His Motto. "It is plain." continued the prose cutor, "that Mays and Sorenson had heard about the deal in the Cas cades. We know that Sorenson later secured an addition to that re serve and cleaned up a comfortable fortune from school lands. Then the gang looked around and found that all the school lands In the state had heen gobbled up. Then they decided to create one. Then pour, old, unsophisticated Hermann got into town looking after his epitaph concerning friends and favors. It was not a bad motto he never for got a favor nor failed to reward a friend but a better one would have been, 'Well done, thou good and faithful servant.' "During tfie time Hermann occu pied the witness stand," said Attor ney Heney, "he showed that he was truly in palaver and unction unsur passed. We got both from the stand in carloads, but sometimes it took an hour to get a direct answer." The prosecutor, In dwelling upon Hermann's ambition to become n Senator, asserted it was that ambi tion which caused him to bring ex- Special Agent Loomts from Washing- cough, just a little cough.

' DOUGLAS COrXTY ROOSTERS ton to Oregon after Loom Is had been accused of forwarding "crooked" account vouchers to the Department, nnd had received a coat of white wash from the hands of Special In spector Dixon. It was argued by At torney Heney that the same motive caused Hermann to retain Ormsby In the forestry division, nnd which caused Hermann to wink and close his eyes to the land frauds which the Government contends he knew all about. "Why did not Hermann write those agents upon whom he was relying for correct information," asked the prosecutor, "and tell them to wtfke up and report Jionestly on the conditions out here and in Cali fornia? Instead wo find him in Sep tember talking with two of the lnnd frauders in the office of the Surveyor General, and both of those men probably in a position to help his ambition." "Ducking mid Dodging." Attorney Heney made a point of the testimony of Clerk Hough, who said that Hermann required all Ore gon letters to come to his personal desk and forbade the stenographers to peruse them. Hough had also testified that Hermann always dic tated replies to Oregon people. "There was nothing wrong with Hermann's answering those letters himself," said Attorney Heney, "and if he hnd been an honest man he would have admitted it, instead of ducking and dodging around by saying that many of them he never saw, because his secretary would an swer some, and refer others to divi sions. He ducked and dodged he cause of a guilty conscience. "Crime always sears a man's con science, and soul, and brain, like a brand burned into the bark or a tree. It may heal over from the out side, but years later the brand can be found In the heart of the tree. Hermann was attempting to cover up something when he was in the wit ness chair." Turning toward Attorneys Worth ington and Gearin, Heney thanked them for the courteous manner in which the case had been conducted. -,00,0(10 ACRF.S IN OHUGOX TO HE HF.KTORED TO ENTRY.
