REASON FOR SO DOING Declares That He Did Xot Say Hcney Was a Bad Man, but One to Be Feared . by "Wrong-Doers. John S. Watkins was the man who fur nished the fireworks at the Williamson trial yesterday afternoon, when he testi fied one minute that he had favored the defendants in the first and second trials and In the next breath that he told friends of the defendants that he was going to change his testimony for fear that ho would be Indicted if he did not, for Mr. Heney was a man to be feared. George N. Gaylord was put upon the stand at the opening of court In order that the defense could cross-examine him. but nothing of importance was brought out in the examination. John S. Watkins was the next witness, and his identifica tion of his final-proof papers brought on a flow of words from both Mr. Bennett and Mr. Heney which could not be stopped until it had exhausted its force, at 3 o'clock In the afternoon. Mr. Ben nett contended lengthily that according to the law it was not allowable for the Government to make attempt to prove conspiracy to suborn perjury from the final papers, but that the applications wore the only proper documents to be considered. Mr. Heney took the opposite view, as did Judge Hunt, though the court In ruling on the matter held that he would keep the subject in mind during the trial and would consider it, and it the point raised by the defendants should appear correct, he would rule upon the evidence accordingly. Vatklns Sensational Testimony. At 3 o'clock Mr. Watkins began to tell the story which had been interrupted by the argument of the morning. He said that he had been told by Campbell Dun can that Biggs bad advised him to take up timber claims, telling him to get all the men he could to file, as Dr. Gcsnor would like to have the land taken, and would give 5500 a claim for it as soon as title had passed. The witness had then gone to sec Biggs, who had corrobo rated this story. Watkins said that he had not liked the Idea at the time and had told Biggs so. but that afterward he had seen the defendant again when he had been told that no contract could be made, but that an agreement oould be entered Into between the claimants and Gosner. The witness had then gone up to the tlmbor to see about taking the claim, and there had introduced Gaylord to Williamson. What Biggs Told Watkins. According to the testimony of Watkins, Biggs had not told him of the definition of perjury, according to the provisions of the law. Biggs had, however, told htm that Williamson and Gesner did not want too many from one family to file on claims at the same time. for. if they did, they might get Into trouble with the Government. At the suggestion of the witness Biggs had calculated Just how much he would get out of his claim if he took it up according to the proposals of Gesner, and had found that the net re turns would be between 574) and 575. On the cross-examination Mr. Bennett brought out some interesting evidence. The attorney asked the witness if he had not sworn at the first and second trial that he had Intended to ask the defend ants from 5S00 to 51000 for the claim which he had taken, and that if this sum was not given he would sell it to some one else who would pay that price. "Yes," Watkins answered, "I think I did. but I wanted to favor tho defendants atlhat time. I did not want to swear to a straight lie. but I did want to favor them." "Then you swore to a He at the former trial to favor the dofondantsT Mr. Ben nett asked. "No." was the answer, "I didn't swear to a He Just exactly, but I tried to favor them all I could without doing it." "You were threatened with Indictment, were you not?" queried Mr. Bennett. "No. sir, I was not," Watkins contend ed. "Heney said when I was before the grand jury that if the truth was not told at the trial the grand Jury would be in session afterwards." He Feared an Indictment. "Didn't you consider that a threat." porslsted Mr. Bennett, but the witness said that he did not. "Now," continued Mr. Bennett, "didn't you say. some days ago. in front of the Courthouse while talking to S. Starr, tltat you wore going to change your testi mony; that you hated to do it, but that you were afraid of indictment, if you didn'tr "Yes," said Watkins, "I did. but it was not what the Government people said that made me change It. The defendants knew that I had not testified right, and so did the Government; they knew that I had favored the defendants." "Didn't you toll Doug Lawson and Green Beard that you were going to tes tify that there was a contract, to save yourself from lndichnentT' was the next question. "No, sir." said Watkins, "I have not testified yet that there was a contract, but there was a fair and square under standing. Biggs said that there could be no contract, but that there could be an understanding." Mr. Bennett then got back at Mr. Heney a little. "Didn't Mr. Heney," he asked of Watkins, "tell you that he was a bad man, and was to be feared?" Did Xot Say He "Was Bad Man. "No, sir," said Watkins. "He did not say he was a bad man; he said he was to be feared. I thought that he meant that he wanted us to tell the truth; that he was to be feared in the law business." When Mr. Heney took a turn at the re direct examination he cleared the atmos phere a little. "After the second trial," he asked of Watkins. "didn't you tell me In my office that Biggs had lied while upon the stand; that you had colored your testimony to shield them, and didn't I say that pa tience might cease to be a virtue?" Wat kins said that the conversation had taken place. "You were called before the grand jury on an entirely different matter than your testimony In this trial, were you not?" again persisted Mr. Heney. "Yes," said the witness, "there was nothing said about it." Taking the witness again for a moment, Mr. Bennett asked him If he had said at the first trial that he would not swear to a lie and have his wife do so for 575, and Watkins said that tie would not do such a thing. A Direct Question. "Then you think that you did swear to a He at the first trial?" questioned the attorney for "the defense. "No, I don't think I did. I didn't think IT I was swearing to a lie when I filed, but It seems now that I was." The testimony of Gaylord. prior to that of Watkins, was about the same as he gave at the first two trials. The witness testified about the quality of the timber on the claim he had taken, saying that the land was more valuable for grazing purposes than for timber. Wllford J. Crain closed the entertain ment of the day. He said he had filed on a claim in IXC. at the suggestion, prima rily, of Watkins. Biggs had afterwards told him that Gesner wanted men' to file. The witness had intended to sell the land to the firm. He thought that a contract must be written, and for that reason did not think he bad made a contract to de liver the land. He had an agreement, however, to sell to the firm, as soon as the land was deeded to him. At the conclusion of Craln's testimony the court was adjourned until 9:30 o'leock this morning. ARRAIGN" SMITH AND GESNER Are Accused in an Indictments of Intimidating Witnesses. a Bam Smith, the Sheriff of Crook County, and -Dr. Van Gresner were arraigned yes terday afternoon in the Federal Court and asked to plead to the Indictment charg ing them with having intimidated wit nesses for 'the Government in the first and second trials of the WIllamson-BIggs-Gesner case. Both of the defendants were present in court and through their at torney. A. S. Bennett, waived the read ing of the indictment and asked to be given until Monday to plead, as it was necessary to make an examination of the indictment to ascertain whether or not any demurrer or other action would be taken by thb defense. The request for extension of time was given. The bond for the defendants was fixed at 52000 in each case. At the morning session, Ed Burns and P. J. Mulligan, Indicted for having coun terfeiting tools In their possession, plead ed not guilty. At the same time a motion of severance was made by United States District At torney Heney, In the case of the United States against John H. Mitchell. BInger Hermann ct al. Mr. Heney asked that Senator Mitchell be given a separate trial. The court agreed to this-, stating that he would make the order at a time when the attorneys for all of the defendants were present In court. Orton Wheeler and Andrew Rlggs, two Indians indicted for felonious assault com mitted upon two Indian women, asked until Monday to plead to the charges against them, which order was made by the court. S El TO EDMUNDSOX AND TWO SONS IN THE PENITENTIARY. Sheep-Killers of "Wheeler County Landed by Clever Ruse or a Detective. Stock thieves, killers of sheep and all-around bad men from the ranges of Wheeler County, the Edmundsons, a father and two sons. Bob and Jim, have Just been safely landed in the peniten tary at Salem to serve a three years' sentence, the penalty for crimes of which they were convicted at Fossil. Or. For years these men led a life of outlawry, stealing stock and branding it as their own, tcrrolzing sheep-herders on the range and successfully evad ing: all attempts made toward their capture. Their career is well known to the ranchers of Eastern Oregon. There is hardly a shipowner In Wheelor Coun ty who has not suffered numerous losses at their hands. Many times hun dreds of sheep were slain in a slnglo raid and suspicion always pointed to the EJmundsons and their confederates. The stockmen united in many attempts to effect a capture, but all to no pur pose. Detectives were employed to pur sue the outlaws but failed repeatedly. Then came Jesse Selkirk, a San Fran cisco detective, who played the role of a rancher and managed to ingratiate himself into tho confidence of the Ed mundson gang. By clever ruses he suc ceeded in separating the men and led them one by ono to the Fossil Jail. Two other men besides the Edmundson fam ily were captured in this manner, but both succeeded in breaking jail and eluding the officers who attempted to recapture them. Whon the Edmundson father and sons came up for trial their guilt was clear ly proved. The specific charge against them was sheep-killing, for which they received the maximum sentence of three years' imprisonment, a penalty considered much too Ight in view of their long-continued criminal career. Selkirk, who made the captures, will receive a reward of 51000. SPECIAL EXCURSION BATES. Very Low Nlarty-Day Ticket Eaat Offered br O. It. Jfc X.

MANY ORDERS CANCELED Timber Products Piled Up at the 31111s, but Cars Are Not Fur nished to Move Them to Purchasing Centers. The lumber industry of Portland and of Orogon Is being throttled and paralyzed through the failure, the Inability or the neglect of the O. R. & N. to furnish cars to move the product to the now very active markets of Nebraska. Missouri, Kansas and the other of the Middle West ern States tributary to this lumber dis trict. This Is, at least, the statement made by the mlllmen of the city, and the report coming In from the other sectlons where lumber is shipped to out-of-the-state markets. According to the complaints of these In terests, the mills are all running day and night to fill the orders that nre porulng In from every avenue of their distributing districts, but. In spite of strenuous efforts to the contrary, the product keeps piling up In the- yards until every available cor ner Is crammed and glutted with waiting shipments. No Relief in Slcht. For two weeks and more the car famine has been In existence and Increasing, and at the present time there seems to be no relief In sight. It Is not so much a short age of cars, so the tlmbermen say, for their Eastern connections have told them when the shortage has been pleaded as a reason for the nonfulfillment of orders, that there are plenty of cars throughout the Middle West; that these cars have been sent to the Union Pacific and Oregon Short Line for the relief of the Western shortage, but that they have never been reported at their destinations. The trouble Is stored up against a lack of motive power on the part of the O. R. & There are cars In plenty, so It Is argued, but there are no engines ready to haul them, either to the points of ship ment, or away when loaded. Owing to the fact that the engines cannot haul them away after the lumber Is put aboard, so It Is surmised, the company will not bring them to the shippers, preferring to keep them the other side of the Blue Mountains and tho state line. Cars Not Obtainable. For two weeks the shippers have not been able to secure one-fourth the num ber of cars asked for or needed, and as a result at least three-fourths of their or ders are being delayed, resulting In the cancellation of many of those pledged for Immediate delivery. This condition Is serious, the mlllmen contend, and is rapldl" Injuring their business, both present and future, for If the consumers of tne Middle West find that the Portland market Is unreliable and not to be depended upon, the orders will be sent to the Sound and to Wash ington, where the Northern Pacific and Great Northern can deliver the goods, even over a longer and a harder haul. Every day added to the delay makes the situation more serious and complex, and bars future contracts from the order books of the Portland and Oregon mills.
