Francis J, He'ney, the special prose
cutor of the federal government.
WUlard N. Jones, the timber deader
and political worker, has been finally
sentenced to serve four months In the
county Jail .and pay a fine of $10,
000, to which fine Mr. Jones definitely
and finally accedes. The primary sen
tence Imposed upon Jones was. one
year In the McNeill's Island peniten
tiary and a fine of $2,000.
Two score other charges that are the
remnants of the Oregon land fraud
prosecutions were dismissed this af
ternoon at Mr. Ileney's suggestion,
saving some of the more important
cases, '. v
J. N. Williamson, ex-Congressman
from this state, whose case has been
remanded for another trial, was not
dismissed, and 'presumably will have
to be tried again.
Franklin Pierce Mays, whose case
Is now up to the point of filing the
mandate of the Circuit Court of Ap
peals, got no comfort, nor was he or
dered Imprisoned as -was expected.
Mr. Heney made no recommendation
In court with regard to Hays, and will
have to dispose of this case later, pro-
.bably after the appeal for pardon has
been acted upon.
George 'Sorenson and a few others
charged In the primary Indictments
will have to stand trial again, as the
charges against them were explicitly
j kept on the docket this afternoon,
when the sweeping dismissals began.
Sorenson has been one of the bitterest
fighters against the special prosecutor
and will probably fac a Jury on
two charges yet pending against him.
Some of the defendants In what is
known as the Blue Mountain case are
not dismissedthe charges being Din
ger Hermann In this connection being
selected from the, others.
In connection with the Hermann
case, the special prosecutor filed '"a
long statement explaining why he
recommended the dismissal. This went
at considerable length Into the de
tails of the case, and recited the poor
health of Mr. Herrman, his trial and
the hung Jury. His friends are Im
mensely relieved at the dismissal,
as th narrow margin by, which the
inry hung before was pot at all com
forting. In the defamation of character cases,
In which John II. Hall, George Soren
son, Charles F. Lord, Henry P. Ford,
and others were arrlgned for '. ob
structing the ways of Justice, all were
wi,ped from the docket. In the case af
fecting the two Downes, no dismissal
was made, as the two are fugitives
from Justice. -
Heney leaves for San Francisco to
