Judg DaHavcn Refute to Dhvnls
Land Fraud Case,.
Portland, July 14. The case of th
United State against Williamson,
Gesner and Bigg will not lie dismissed
by the court, nor will the jury be in-,
structed to acquit as prayed for In a
day-long argument by Judge Bennett
and If. S. Wilson. But by ;the ruling
of Judge De Haven the case will have
to be fought ont before tbe jury to tb
end. According to the opinion of tb
judge, tbe prosecution Iim furnished
sufficient evidence against Williamson
and his associate to warrant hi sub
mitting the ease to tbe jury.
Judge Bennett opened the ease for
the defense yesterday morning with a
motion to dismiss, owing to Insufficient
evidence to connect the defendant or
lo convict them. He asked that th
case be not submitted to the Jury, or,
if such had to be done, tbat the court
Instruct the jury to return a verdict of
acquittal. Following this motion tbe
attorneys for the defense made exhaust
ive argument of their position, bring
ing citations from tbe law to show that
their contentions were within tb rule.'
Upon making this motion and before
commencing his argument Judge Ben
nett asked tbe court that tbe jury be
allowed to remain in tbe room during
the argument, in order tbat it might
hear tbe positions taken by both sides
in tbe controversy. This, it is alleged
by some, wa a mistake in the strategy
of tbe trial, u tbe influence of tbe re
fusal of the court to allow tbe motion
would tend to throw assistance to tb
side of tbe government.
