Heney, f(.r v,rnt lis known as the 11-7 land fraud" casj. j With hlin in tho deal wore Mrs. Emma U v, alKon, Horace McKlnley, Marie Ware, now Mrs. McKlnley, Dan W. Tarplcy and others. The trial began November 21. 1904, and ho Was con vlflod December 6, and was sentenced to t-vo years Imprisonment ami to pay a fine of $7500. All of the defendants were found guilty, but Puter was the only ono to receive sentence and the only one who hag served a term of Imprisonment. McKlnley ' fled the country and went to China, where he was arrested and Is now. on his way to America. On July , 1906, Puter was sentenced o serve two years In the county jail and he has served about a year and one-half. In addition to the jail sentence, Puter was fined $7, 500, but it Is believed hero that the fine will be wiped out with the par don. Puter decided to turn against those with whom he was connected In his crooked land ' dealings, because they turned him down. He has made friends with all of the government of ficials since reaching that decision. t here was no half-way measures when Puter decided to tell what he knew to Heney and It was through Puter that practically all of the land fraud convictions were made possible. Whatever Puter might have been, he has made good to "Heney everything that he promised when he turned state's evidence, and there- Is not a man connected with the federal gov ernment In Portland, who does not speak hlghlyof Puter. He has been a model prisoner and has taken his medicine without a word of complaint. Oregonian. nNow Coming, "The Man of the Hour." "The Man of the Hour," which comes to the Steward opera house Tuesday night, Januray 21, is a play of politics and graft, and Is said to be the best of Its kind any American has written, and from all accounts de serves to bo seen by every one who can appreciate a good drama finely acted. It is said the types of politi cians George Broadhurst has drawn In this play, are alive and busy. For outright truth In characterization of certain kinds of men no play of the time exceeds "The Man of the Hour." Multnomah Won.
