10 THE MOKNTNG OB&GOSIA2?, FRIDAY, XUVEMBER 25, lH. 1 flUGCED STATE No Houses on Claims Won by Fraud. SURVEYOR TELLS OF VISIT A. W. Barber Proves That Affidavits Are .False, DEFENSE MAKES OBJECTIONS Contention That Testimony Does Not Connect Defendants With Crimes Charged is Overruled Proof May Show Conspiracy. "This is the 'forest primeval. The murmuring pines and the hemlocks. Bearded with moss, and In garments green. Indistinct In thn twilight. Stand like Druids of eld, -with voices sad and prophetic ." Yesterday was the glad Thanksgh-ins; day; that all-American day when turkey Is rampant and Joy is rife, but the morn ing brought no smile to anyone In the land-fraud cases, unless it was to the faces of the attorneys for the prosecu tion, who at this time introduced their first evidence which, it is declared, wiM connect the defendants with the crime of conspiracy against the Government and place them face to face with the bars of a Government prison. A. W. Barber, the Government Sur veyor, was the man who laid . the pit falls which may entrap the defense and deliver them bound with damning cir cumstance and trussed with statements, false and fraudulent, into the hands or the Government camp. Mr. Barber is an old man. gray of hair and benevolent of mien, with a manner quiet yet positive, and his testimony in relation to the-lands mentioned in the Indictment was conclu sive and convincing. Paints a Primeval Forest. It was -all so quietly and so evenly done that hardly a ripple occurred in all the session. The lawyers, the court, the defendants and the spectators listened to the story of the old surveyor, and as he progressed could hear the mur muring of the primeval pines and firs clustered around the base of Mount Jefferson, could feel the cold of the June enow that hid from sight any chance signs of humankind, and could look up through the virgin forest to where the Spring stars smiled down upon the moun tain camps. It was a scene of mountain life, rough and young, that he depicted, a stretch of unbroken wood and. a vision of tumbling stream; not the smell of the new-mown hay, nor the lowing klne or the everpresent note of the Industrious hen, as pictured by the defense. And as the testimony progressed, unbroken ex cept by an occasional objection from Judge Pipes, Frank fl. "Wolgamot crushed the handkerchief perpetually held in his hand. McKinley Mitchell frowned, and Miss Ware and Mrs. "Watson forgot to smile. It was the time for the prosecu tion to be gay. The opening wedge of the Government's evidence was started Into the case of the defense by Mr. Barber's testimony, but it was so quietly done and with so little apparent effort that the man on the back seat who had the features of Mephlsto pheles and the desire to spend a quiet day, slept through It all without a mur mur or a move. The witness, who had been sworn on the day preceding, "was called at the open ing of the court. He stated in beginning that he had been in the employ of the Government for a number of years; that he bad worked on more than 30 cases under consideration in 15 of the states of the Union. On this present case he had gone Into the vicinity of township 11, south of range 7 east, on or about June ' 14 of the present year, and had finished his work about 10 days later. On his trip he had been accompanied by Robert and Benjamin Pierce, S. C. Dlllcy, George "W. Pritta and a packer taken along to care for the camp effects. Just about this time Mr. Pipes object ed to the testimony of the witness on the ground that he was not qualified as an expert. He had not had experience enough. Mr. Barber showed that he had been working at the present task for years, and the objection was overruled by the court. Directed to Visit Lands. Mr. Barber testified that he had been furnished with written instructions by the department directing him to make an In vestigation of the lands tiled upon by Maude Witt. Harry C. Barr. Henry Young. Joseph Wilson. Emma L. Porter, George I. Pettis. George A. Graham. Nellie Backus. Zenas Watson. Frank H. Wolgamot. Thomas Wllklns, Christie E. Langham. Albert O. Austin. Mattie S. Lowell. Alexander It. Brown. John F. Foster. William McLaughlin and James A. Taylor. This testimony was objected to by Judge Pipes on the ground that it was Incompetent and did not connect the de fendants In any matter with the crime charged. The court overruled the objec tion, stating that the testimony might be Introduced at this time and connected by subsequent proof. Mr. Heney, for the prosecution, then took up In rotation the final papers which had been Introduced as evidence on the preceding days. He first read the testimony of Harry C. Barr. made In se curing his final certificate at the Ore gon City land office. Barr testified at that time to having built a house and established a residence on his land in September. 1S92. The house was of logs, 16 by 24 feet In dimensions, with a barn and a few acres in cultivation, all valued at $400. He had been absent from his claim for from four to five months each year. In order to get money to work his claim and make his home. He had im proved and cultivated about one-half acre of land for the past eight or nine years. "Mr. Barber." questioned Mr. Heney. "what signs of habitation did you find when you visited this claim of Barr'sT" No Improvements on Barr Claim. "There were no signs of human habita tion. No trees had been cut, and there were no signs other than those made by the Government surveyors In surveying the land." "What kind of a road was there?" asked the examiner. "It was a very heavy .forest, and a per son would have to make and Improve a road to get In or out-" "I object to all this." said Judge O'Day to the court. "All of this examination was made 12 years after the house was built." "That is a question for the Jury to de cide, and I overrule the objection." said the court. "Well. continued the witness, "there were no signs at all. No barn, no trait and no indication of cultivation." "I want to add another objection." In terrupted Mr. O'Day. "The testimony shows that the land was covered with two feet of mw it the tiae of the ex araJ nation." "Do you think that the snow would have hid the barn. Judge O'Day?" quer ied the court. Snow Might Have HH Barn. "It -might have done so if the barn had been built In a ravine," argued the lawyer, candidly. '"I will overule the objection." said the court, turning again to the witness. "If it please the court" taid Mr. He ney, "we would like at this time to Intro duce a picture taken on this claim by Mr. Barber. It shows the corrjer of the claim." "Could I see the picture." asked Judge Pipes. "I like to look at pictures." The Judge examined the picture. "We will consent to that offer." he said, to the astonishment of every one. for It was the first time that he had consented to anything. Mr. Heney asked to read the testi mony in the case of Miss Emma L. Por ter, made on filing upon the northeast quarter of section 22 on the land in ques tion. Mrs. Porter testified that she had estab lished a residence on the land In October, 1832. She had built a house of logs, 20 by 20 feet, with four rooms and a wood shed. She had chickens, a horse, a cow and a barn on the land to the value of $300. She had resided upon the land most of the time since, the time the house was built, never being absent more than three months at a time. The time that she spent away from the place was spent in Portland, when she worked to make a living and to secure money for the im provement of her homestead. She had cultivated one-quarter of an acre and had grown crops ever since settling on the property. She had never made an other homestead entry, and had no prop erty except what was on this claim. "When you examined the Porter claim," asked Mr. Heney of the witness, "did you find a house?" No House on Porter Claim. "I didn't find an open piece of ground big enough to hold a house." responded the witness. "The land was very moun tainous. Near the creek there were four trees that had been cut. I want to men tion this particularly, because it is the only place in all of the 20 claims where there were any other marks than those made by the surveyors. There was no place to camp on the claim unless you hung by the bushes, and there was noth ing but wild vegetation on the ground." Mr. Heney also read the testimony In the claim filed by Frank H. Wolgamot, another of the defendants. Mr. Walga mot testified at that time to having built a house during September or Qctobcr of 1S92. The house was a good one, built of logs, and was 16 by 23 feet in dimensions. He had also built a good road, outbuild ings and other Improvements which would be valued at $500. He had been forced to be absent from his claim temporarily for short periods of time In order to make a living, but had not staid away for more than four months at a time. He had cultivated six acres of land and had raised crops each season since settling on the land. The land was rolling land and fit for farming and grazing land. "What kind of land did you find on the Wolgamot claim. Mr. Barber?" asked Mr. Heney. "Was It rolling?" "It might be called rolling," testified the witness. "I went Into a very steep gulch or mountain gorge about half a mile long." "Did you find any signs of house, or barn, or cultivation?" Wolgamot Claim Unimproved. "No." answered Mr. Barber, "there was no house, or barn or building of any kind. No trees had been cut on the claim. There was no road and no signs that the land had ever been cultivated at all." Mr. Heney then introduced, one after the other, the final testimony of all the cases cited at the beginning of the day. On none of them had any signs of culti vatlon been found. No roads could be discovered, and in going to the Joseph Wilson claim It had taken the party three hours to go three miles by tht old Mlnto trail, which was overgrown with brush and practically impassable. On one of the places where the house was alleged to be placed in the testimony the surveyor had found a lava formation rising more than CO feet in the air. In the place of the fertile fields, the blooming orchards and the populous barnyards had been discovered untrammeled wastes of brush, gaunt and scarred skeletons of charred trees, unexplored and almost im penetrable forests and giant rocks. On the Austin claim, which was sup posed to contain an orchard and several acres under cultivation. It was shown by the surveyor that the land was situ ated almost on the peak of a mountain, on land made up of boulders and barren wastes of snowswept lava and stone. The examination of the witness was not completed by the prosecution until nearly 1 o'clock, and when done the court took an adjournment until this morning at 10, when Mr. Barber will be delivered into the hands of the defense for coss-exam-Ination. Judge Bellinger, In closing the court, gaVe the Jury permission to visit the foot ball game or any other place of amuse ment under the custody of the bailiff, provided that no conversation was held with any outside person. "I do not caret where you go," said the Judge in making the statement, "pro vided you do not go to any of the gamb ling houses and be placed under arrest I want you to be here for the trial."

NJnety-One Line Up at Tables and Make Away With Turkey and Other Edibles. If there was a newsboy in Portland yesterday who did not get all the pood thlnsrs he wanted to eat for his Thank3-glvln-j dinner It was his own fault. There are 91 newsboys on record, how ever, who did not go hunsry or partake of ordinary fare. They gathered at J. O. Wlckham's restaurant on Sixth street and got such a "feed" as many of them will not know again until Christmas, or perhaps until next Thanksgiving Day. There was no dinner more thoroughly enjoyed than that of the newsboys. They were on hand long before dinner time. and just to give them a pleasant appetizer some charitably inclined individual amused himself by throwing nickels Into the street. When this party's finance ran out and dinner was announced, there was a mighty rush for table space, and a terrific din was kept up by the hungry youngsters until the steaming viands appeared, and then a sudden hush came over the assem blage, which was not broken until the last available dessert had been "pun ished."" when they again directed their whole attention to hurling "Jokes at one another and engaging In repartee. Their menu Included oyster soup, tur key and cranberry sauce, v English plum pudding, celery, candy, cakes, nuts and fruit. It was late In the afternoon before the dinner was ended, and that there had been something unusual In newsboy cir cles was apparent from the loud and happy manner In which they announced the evening paper. "Say, Jim." one of the youngsters was overheard to say after the dinner. "I fooled that waiter down there at the din ner and made him believe I didn't git no puddin' and I got three pieces." "That's nothln'," returned Jim. "I done the same thing an got five dishes of It an say, wasn't It great?" BUSINESS ITEMS. If Baby Is Catting Teeth. Be sore and ttu that old cad well-tried remedy.
