Ballioger's Stenographer Goes
Way of Glavis
RESULT OF HIS STATEMENT
Took Dictation of Ballingers Sell Ex
oneration to Which Taft
Affiled His Name.
Special to the Evening Review.
WASHINGTON, May 16. Fred
erick M. Kerby, a stenographer in the
Interior Department, was dismissed
from the Government service today
by a special delivery letter signed by
Itallinger, who stated that Kerby was
dismissed because he was "unworthy
to remain in the service."
The dismissal of Kerby fs another
sensation which has developed in the
Malllnger case during the last three
days. Saturday Kerby published a
statement in which be told of the
preparation of the Lawlor letter and
memorandum in Hallinger's office.
Following this Wickeraham sent a
copy of the memorandum, which pre
viously could not be found, to the
President. The President then ex
plained that he ordered Lawlor to
frame the letter, and write "as if he
were President." The prosecution in
the Pallinger investigation are trying
to figure why the memorandum was
not produced, despite numerous
specific requests, until after the pub
lication of Kirby's statement. They
want to know whether the discovery
of Lawlor's memorandum was in
fluenced by Kerby's statement.
Kerby was a personal stenographer
for Ballinger. He is said by bis
friends to be an illustration of a man
answering tbe demands of his con
science, risking censure for revealing
confidential matters, from a sense of
his high duty to the putjlic, much as
Glavis did earlier In the famous con
troversy. Kerby Is a young married man with
a year and a half old baby. His wife
and mother are dependent on him
He was devoted to former Secretary
Garfield and was a loyal advocate of
conservation.
Wlint Kerby Chaises.
Kerby stated last Saturday that

when he exonerated Seeretnrv rtnl. ! ter of Mrs. .1. W. Newland, passed

The most astounding feature was
that immediately after the publica
tion of the statement, Attorney-General
Wlckersham sent to the Congres

Ilalllnger-Plnchot controversy, a copy
of the Lawler draft, which both the

Old (irand Jury's Krpnrt,
The previous grand jury submitted
its final report last Saturday even
ing, and was discharged by Judge
Hamilton. The report, among other
things, refers to the "raising" of
items In the tax rolls of the sheriff's
office, as revealed by the recent ex-
pertlng of the county s nnanctai
records. It says;
"In this matter your grand Jury
charges a crime committed, but we
do not find sufficient evidence to
nlure the blnme on any person, ana
recommend that the matter be fur
ther investigated.
The report further calls attention
(to the necessity for a Are-proof vault
for the records of the county clerk.
Construction of such a vault Is urged
"without unnecessary delay."
Repeating former recommendation,
the grand Jury urges the establish
ment of a poor farm near the city of
Roseburg. The discharged Jury waB
comprised of Grant Levins, foreman;
G. W. Dimmick, A. B. Melvin, R. C.

NEW TRIAL WILL BE ASKED
Dr. Hyde Found Guilty of Harder of
Col. Swope and Sentenced to
Life Imprisonment.
Special to The Evening Review.
PORTLAND, Or., May 1G. W.
Cooper Morris, former cashier of the
Oregon Trust and Savings Bank, in
this city, convicted last week ot em
bezzling $76,000 from the institution,
was today sentenced by Judge Gan
tenbeln, in the Circuit Court, to six
years' imprisonment In the peniten
tiary. The defense will ask a new
trial on the grounds that Juror. Bar
ton's mind was in no condition for
an impartial decision after the at
tempt of Howard Guilford to bribe
him. Another ground will be that
the presiding judge erred ln giving
Barton private Instructions after
Barton bad reported Guilford's act.
Dr. Hyde Gets Life Torni.
KANSAS CITY, May 16 Dr. Hyde
wns today convicted of murder in the
first degree and sentenced to life im
prisonment for the murder of Col.
Thonins Swope, a Kansas City mil
lionaire, whom he is alleged to have
poisoned for the purpose of Inheriting
the Swope millions. The jury had
been out since Friday evening, and
for a long tlmo It appeared that they
would not agreer-and thnt Judge Lat
shaw would declare a mistrial. A
great crowd, Including Mrs. Hyde and
his sisters were present. Hyde was
apparently unmoved when the verdict
! was read, but Mrs. Hyde burst into
I wild tears and wns led from court.
Afterward Hyde went Into the nnte
room guarded by deputies, and at
tempted to console Ills wife. . Ills
sisters also wept. Hyde wns re
manded without ball,- and .formal
sentence will probably be pronounced
Thursday. Hyde's attorneys will
move for a new trial and If this Is
denied they will appeal.
A. G. Young and Geo. J. Stearns
were over from Oakland today.
