PERSONA
E
Oregon's Senior Senator Flays Prosecutor and Reads
Affidavit Telling Story of Legislative Corruption
by Eye-Witness-Unfair Methods Resorted to in
Order to Besmirch Reputation Defiance Hurled.
Accusing Francis .1. Honey of false
hood and of lying villifieation, charg
ing him with being the mouthpieco of
a reckless conspiracy organized by bis
enemies to accomplish his defeat by
a campaign based on f aisehood a nd
misrepresentation, I 'nit id States Sen
ator Charles V. Fulton, before an au
dience that completely filled the Med
ford Opera House last night, replied to
tho many accusations made by the land
fraud prosecutor accusing him of cor
ruption and bribery. It was Senator
Fulton 's first speech in his campaign
for re-election and he handled Mr. Ho
ney and his accusations without gloves.
He also grilled Governor Chamberlain
for his affidavit in connection with the
story of bribery told by .1. S. Smith,
and read an affidavit signed by .lames
F. Powell of Albany, which refuted the
charges made by Sin it li accusing Ful
ton of having handled ihe sack in the
181)7 campaign.
He Received Much Applause.
Senator Fulton also defined his po
sition on Statement Xo. 1. Ho de
clared himself in favor of tho election
of United States senators by tho peo
ple, but said that lie did not consider
it his province ns a candidate to at
tempt to dictate to candidates fur the
legislature the position they should
take upon tho question, though person
ally ho would like to see all candidates
in favor of Statement Xo. I, as he con
sidered it would be equivalent to his
election, in case such a legislature
should bo chosen.
An Organized Conspiracy.
Senator Fulton was introduced by
W. I. Vawter, who stated that the sen
ator had lived in the state long enough
to establish his good name and that ac
ousations made at the behest of gov
ernment prosecutors by perjurers who
we.ro given immunity baths in payment
would not have any effect on his stand
ing with the people.
Beginning with his election. Senator
Fulton detailed the history of his term
in Congress and the various effort?
made to discredit him before the peo
pie. He stated that he knew that n
conspiracy had been at work both in
Oregon and Washington with a well
arranged plot, but he bad misjudged
the desperate and reckless character of
the campaign wnod against him which
was "based entirely on falsehood and
misrepresentation."
"Xo man can wear Honey's clothe
without looking crooked, and if he
wears, them long enough he will become
crooked. Honey is a malicious and wil
ful falsifier," exclaimed the senator.
"Ho has taken the machinery of the
government and used it in order to
find if possible some flaw in the indi
vidual, but after his work he had no
facts to base his charges upon, so he
had to manufacture them."
Denies Various Charges.
4 . Senator Fulton enumerated the vari
ous attacks made upon him, refuting
Men ot them after giving their his
ry. He went over the Wayorhause
article published in a magazine, i
which he was accused of having intro
duced n bill to turn over valuable land
lo tho lumber syndicate. Ho dwelt on
tho "Umatilla deal," which had be
exploded. He went over in detail tin
charges made through the llrowne
Mays correspondence and read the let
icrs from both, and his replies thereto,
showing how Honey had only quoted
the parts thnt could bo n.ftle damaging
t" Julton. He dwelt upon the briherv
charges made by ,T. S. Smith and the ac
cusations mado during the trial of John
HH. O
"The Smith story, from top to bot
tom, in every fabric, was made up and
W wholly false and mnlirious. Honey
knew it was when he hired a church
to tell it in. Powell's affidavit dis
closes the old system of electing sena
tors, which, thank God, we have done
PERSECUTOR
away with in Oregon. Senator Mitchell
was my friend, but he was hounded to
his grave and, I think, more sinned
against than sinning. The glimpse
shown is tho outcome of a false sys
tem," ho exclaimed.
Grills Governor Chamberlain.'
Senator Fulton told of his having in
formed Governor Chamberlain of
Smith's being a grafter and of his sur
prise at the governor making affidavit
connecting Fulton with the bribery
story which Fulton had only learned af
ter the adjournment of the legislature,
and grilled the governor for the return
of a friendly act. Ho admitted the
truth of tho accusation that he had
been loyal to friends, and said that he
hoped ho always would bo. Ho paid a
tributo to friendship as the one thing
in tho world worth while.
The senator briefly reviewed the
story of his term in the senate; how,
alone, he had represented Oregon for
two years at Washington; how ho had
become a member of important commit
tees and tho good work ho had done for
the stato in securing large appropria
tions for tho Columbia and in other
ways been of benefit to his constitu
ency. The Powell affidavit, which is here
nblishcd for i he first t ime, rends as
follows:

"One day during the session of the

at Attitude Assumed by the
American Consul at Harbin
ST. PKTERSBl:K(l, March 31. The
Russian government is disturbed at the
altitude assumed by Fred D. Fisher,
American cousul at Harbin, in the mat

that Chnese sovereignty in Manchuria

His attitude in this Russo-Chineso dif

Washington. The foreign office hero
has expressed the belief that it will be
docidedlv to the interest of the United
States to recognize tho Russian admin
istration of Manchuria, inasmuch as

"Persons who havo purchased rail

"When the original resolution is

ihe railroad interests from securing pro

"The entire trouble lies at the door
of the Southern Pacific management,
which, after disposing of 700,000 neres
of land, absolutely refused to sell or
otherwise dispose' of over 2,000,000
acres, which it holds iu defiance of the

Judge
Dunne Gives His
Version of the Midnight
Meeting with the Jew
ish Rabbis.
SAN' Pit A. NCI SCO, March 31. Su
perior Judge Frank H. Dunne, in an af
fidavit filed today with Judgo Lawlor,
for the first time guvo his version of
tho "midnight meeting" with Assist
ant District Attorney F. J. Honey, W.
J. Burns, detective for tho prosecution,
ami b'nbbis N'ioto nnd Kaplan, when
Dunno, according to the affidavits of
the rabbis, promised that if Abo Huof
pleaded guilty to tho charge of extor
tion he would later permit Kuef to with
draw that plea, upon the request of tho
district attorney. In his affidavit
Dunne specifically contradicts tho aver
ments of the reverend gentlemen that
he promised that Kuef ho allowed to
withdraw his plea of guilty and declares
that lluef's nnmo was not even men
tioned. Dunno was summoned to his cham
bers by Burns just hoforo midnight,
April 20, ll07. Tho judge declined to
go and told Rums that if Heney had
anything to communicate, to do so In
open court tho following day. Burns
said Habbt Nieto wan going to Kuropo,
and as nn accommodation to him,
Dunne went to his chambers, where
Heney asked him to explain for tho
information of N'ieta nnd Kaplan, the
procedure of his court as to tho recom
mendations of the district attorney, and
to also state if ho had confidence in
Langdon and Henry. Dunne says that
he replied: "I have confidence in you,
Mr. Heney, and iu the District Attor
ney, and while I have that confidence
iu the district nttorney, whenever rec
ommendation or suggestion is inado by
him iu the cause pending iu my depart
ment, it is my practice to entertain
and be guided by it, provided, of
course, it is iu t he interest and the
furtherance of justice."
Pleading of Dr. Kaplan.
' ' Thereupon I r. Kaplan said: 'But,
your honor, suppose a mini pleaded
guilty and nfteiwanlH ashed to change
his plea?' I replied: You have heard
what I have said, gentlemen, ns to my
pract ice. Of course iu all cases of
such r nimendat ions, and which T in
sisl shall always be made in open court,
whenever the district attorney fails to
convince me that he is wtdl advised, or
that good and sufficient grounds exist
for his motions, it must be remembered
thai final ileterm inat Ion must always
rest with me. ' ' '
Dunne also asserts he had no knowl
edge of tin1 much discussed "immunity
contract." when Kuef pleaded guilty
and did not even Know tho prosecution
was negotiating with Kuef.
Referring to the incident in January
when District Attorney Langdon enlled
upon Dunne with reference to the with
drawal of lluef's plea of guilty, Dunne
avers:
Turned Langdon Down.
''Mr. Langdon called upon me in my
chambers and said in effect: Kuef is
outside, and wants to make a motion
to withdraw his plea of guilty in the
extortion cases. ' I promptly told Mr.
Langdon, with Homo omphairis, that 1
would not consider such a motion at
that or any other time."
Judge Lawlor announced ho would
also make an affidavit, nnd continued
