BALLSET IS GUILTY

n .
Defraud.
WAS OUT BUT A SHORT TIME
Oregon Mining Promoter Evlade
.'tKo Great FeelUs Wkea Verdict
Wan Announce Attorneys
Move tor a Xcw Trial
DES MOINES, la., June S. Letson Bai
ilet was found guilty ot using the United
States malls to defraud In connection
with the promotion of the White Swan
sold mine, Jn Baker County. Oregon, by
a Jury In the Federal Court this after
noon. The Indictment was pn fir counts,
Which were consolidated, however, bo that
the extreme punishment for the crime wllL
be 18 months in the penitentiary and a
fine of $500. The Jury went out at 1 o'clock
nnd came in at 3. not having any serious
disagreement In reaching a verdict
Sentence win not be pronounced at pres
ent JBalllet's attorneys, Judge Charles
Bishop, of Des Moines, and Colonel Em
onert Calahan. of Baker City, gave no
tice at once of a motion for a new trial.
They have until June 2(5 to file this mo
tion. It .will be passed upon some time
during July, or early in August If re
fused, sentence will then he pronounced,
and If the defense sees fit an appeal -will
then! be taken to the United States "Cir
cuit Court of Appeals at St Iouls The
case c6uld be carried Up from that court
to the United States Supreme Court on
certiorari proceedings. "While not willing
to state what will be the action until afr
te'r the motion for new trial Is passed
upon. It seoms to be. the intention of Bal
lot and his attorneys to fight the mat
ter to the end. Pending the decision of
ihG court on the motion for a new trial,
Balhet will be at large under the same
bond as since he was indicted.
Before reaching a verdictt the Jury came
back for additional instruction by the
court They asked to know if the sub
sequent actions of Balllet, since the in
dictment, could be considered in arriving
at his intentions. The court ruled that
they could.
Balllet was pale when he came Into the
courtroom to hear the verdict, but did not
evince great feeling when the verdict
was announced.
Probably the most important feature of
the decision in the case is the effect it
will have on the prosecution ' of other
companies supposed to bo operating
schemes to defraud the public. It is al
leged by the Government agents that there
are many such concerns, and it Is pro
posed to investigate them thoroughly.
Widespread investigations are expected as
a result of the succesa of the Government
in this case. In his Instructions to the
Jury Judge Munger laid down five point
which, covered the whole situation. They
were:
First It is not hecessary for the Gov
ernment to prove that any person has
been actually defrauded, or for any person
to have been defrauded.
Second It is not essential whether Bal
llet told the truth or falsehoods In his
letters and circulars exploiting the "White
Swan mine, 'only so far as these state
ments tend to show -whether It was his
Intent to defraud.
Third It is necessary to show Balllet's
intentions at the time he mailed the let
ters and circulars complained of in the
lndictrnent and not his subsequent intent
Fourth It is not necessary or essential
that Balllet, be tbq originator of a scheme
to defraud or the author of the lettSrs
and mall matter complained of, but
whether he -was connected with the
scheme as a party towards its further
ance. Fifth Balllet took the stand in his own
defense, and the Jury must determine
whether he gave a satisfactory explan
ation of the use and dispostlon of the
White Swan funds.
It was proved by the Government that
during the 2 years that Balllet operated
he had expended 525,000 in buying a news
paper at Baker City; about $35,000 in ad
vertising the mine and himself as the
Cecil Rhodes of America; that he had ex
pended various sums on actresses and
personal outlays, and since the purchase
of the "White Swan mine he has put prac
tically nothing into it with a- view to de
veloping it on behalf of the stockholders.
It was essential for the Government to
prove that Balllet intended to defraud the
investors wnen he started to use the
mails to sell them the stock. This was
shown hy proving his expenditure of
about $75,000 of the money in the manner
described, and in no way connected with
the development of the property. The
Government clinched the case against
Balllet when he went on the stand and
failed to testify as to the whereabouts
of the remaining $150,000 known to have
been collected hy the sale of the stock
but not accounted for.
Balllet is 29 years old, and the son of
Judge F. S. Balllet recently of the Polk
County District hench, residing in this
city. Young Balllet was engaged in no
business until he acquired the manage
ment of the "White Swan Mining & Mill
ing Company A large number of tech
nical difficulties concerning the title to
the property having arisen, he bought the
claims and secured a clear title to the
"White Swan mine. Meanwhile he had
been selling stock In the property. "When
he had secured possession of the mine he
removed his headquarters to San Fran
cisco and operated from that city, where
he employed 30 people night and day
sending out circulars and letters advertis
ing his proposition.
The Government objected to his usg of
the mails to procure money in the first
place for the sale of the stock in a com
pany which had no valid tlt)e to the
property. In which its stockholders were
assured they would participate; secondly,
to the sale of stock through malls with
out expending the money he received In
developing the property he was selling,
according to his agreement He was in
dicted about 16 months ago, and a year
ago this Summer his trial was begun In
Des Moines. A Juror died, and the case
went over to the May term, 1902, of the
Federal Court here. Attorneys for Bal
llet propose to take the case to the Su
preme Court of the United States.
Postoffice Inspector Mayer promises that
,if Balllet escapes on this -prosecution
eventually he will be tried In San Fran
cisco because of his use of the malls In
California to push his scheme.

MIKES FORGIXG TO THE FRONT.
A Great Amoant of Machinery Going
Into Baker County.
BAKER CITY. June 4. The Sumpter
"Valley Railroad has put up a new steel
derrick near the depot for the purpose of
handling heavy machinery and heavy
freight of every description that it is
neceBsary to transfer' from the O. R. &
N. to the narrow-gauge roid. The open
ing up of so many mines, -where heavy
machinery has to be employed, has cre
ated a great demand therefor, and a great
deal vt it ia being shipped into this city
for use at tho large mines. It frequently
hs-ppens now that a large hoisting engine
is sent In to be set up and used In some
of the large mines. A few weeks ago a
hoisyng engine came for the Bonanza
mine, the main shaft of which was so
large thit It made a carload by Itself.
Some Idea of the Importance of Eastern
Oregon as a mining center may be gleaned
from the following list of stamp mills,
most of whioh are now running every
day, crushing ore from the various mines.

ON UNDERWOOD'S TRACK
ALLEGED CHILD MURDERER SEEX
OX WTLLAFA HARBOR.
Elndes Constable hat Officers Are
Confident of Captarlnsj Him
All Roads Ganrdcd.
ABERDEEN, Wash., June 5. Paul Un
derwood, the alleged murderer of his 3-weeks-old
babo at Ballard Saturday, who
eluded the officers hero Tuesday, was seen
at Toke Point on the north, shore of
Wlllapa Harbor at S:20 this morning. This
Information was brought here by the
steamer Harbor Queen this afternoon on
her arrival from Westport at the mouth
of Gray's Harbor, and was at onco wired
to every one in the South Bend: country
who could be reached by telegraph, so
that It Is expected here thac Underwood
will soon bo xun 4own and. captured.
Sheriff Cudlhee, of King County, ar
rived here late yesterday afternoon, and,
working an. the theory that Underwood
had crossed tho Chehalls River to the
south side and made his way down to
wards Ocosta, Westport and the Pacific
Coast, with the Intention of getting over
to the Columbia River, he hired a steam
launch late last night, went down the
harbor to Westport, took a rowboat over
to Ocosta, and commenced a search of
mills and camps- around there. At Deal
ing's sawmill, just outside of Ocosta. he
found that Underwood had spent Tues
day night with the men there, changed
clothes with the fireman, and early Wed
nesday morning had hired a man by the
name of Sonford to row him across to the
wharf at Westport. He went through that
village Just about sunrise, passed, over to
the beach and struck off south towards
Wlllapa Harbor. Sheriff Cudlhee returned
here as quickly as- possible, took the train
for Astoria, and sent Sheriff Huft to
South Bend on tho same train. If Un
derwood was at Toko Point this morn
ing his pursuers are closing in on him
from all sdes. He had with him ?S0 and
a six-shooter, and it Is possible he has
crossed Wlllapa Harbor and gone down
to Naheotta, from which point he could
take a steamer around to the Columbia
River, but he has made such slow progress
thus far, however, that there are but few
chances of his evading the officers who
are so close upon him..

"Welser Is Fnll of Men Bound That
Way Pood Ia Scarce.
WEISER, Idaho, June 4. Welser con
tinues to be full of men bound for the
Thunder Mountain gold district, and every
morning tho Pacific & Idaho Northern
takes out good loads of miners, pros
pectors and capitalists. After the 60 miles
ride to Council they may be quickly
transferred to stages and driven to Mead
ows, 23 miles, before dark. The next
morning they are off forWdrren, andas
that road Is now open, the trip Is easily
made In a day. This leaves them CO to 70
miles from Thunder- Mountain, and par
ties just In say the road is lined with
gold hunters. The road has been very
bad, occasioned by deep, soft snow, and
the best people for information do not
advise that people start from Warrea
before July L
At camp things are as yet quet, so ha
incoming travelers say. There have been
no startling discoveries for some days.
The Dewey people ore working a few
men, preparatory. It Is said, to making a
record-breaking run when their mill starts
tip. "It fa believed the fame of thp Dewey
mine will make a showing that will amaze
the world.
A ' scarcity of food supplies has been
unexpectedly prolonged by a mild Win
ter and a late Spring. The roads during
March and April, usually good, were
spoiled by the early thaw, and the cool
weather of April and May has retained
the snow. Bob Sears and Cljnt Arnold",
well-known miners, just In, 'quote flour
at 50 cents per pound, limited to 10-pound
sales. Other things In the eating line
go accordingly.
It is thought that a few mild weeks
will greatly transform the snowdrifts
and by July 1 traffic will move rapidly.
During the last 10 days people have out
fitted here from California, New Mexico,
Colorado and. In fact, .nearly all the
mining localities of the globe.
That the Thunder Mountain country Is
destined to be a great mineral district
still prevails In everyone's minds who
come In from the camp.
