FIRST BIT OF
TIE DEFENSE
Its Star Witness a Man of
Unsavory Family, C.
L Brandon.
GESNER IN OWN BEHALF
Takes the Stand and Denies That He
Has Done Anything Contrary
to Law, and Undergoes
Gross-Examination.
aae ftrst day of the defense in the Wll
HftBwta case was a trying one for the
dtfoMC It' started -with an ill-selected
wkoss ohoeen to toll of the motives and
tfce Intentions of Dr. Gosner and Mr- .Wll
Masweon. It placed a man. shifting of eye
&ad wtsavory of reputation, upon the
Faa4 te relate the fact that no contract
3d been made and no law had been
teke. It added to the habitual smile
-fwa by Mr. Heney, but did not give anj
tetttt&Mt radiance to the circle across the
tMa. Some who watched the trial, 11s
tcttod to the evidence and noted its effect,
say that the selection of Clarence I
Brandon t lead the cause of the defense
wm a mistake, in tactics, at least.
Barnes Recalled by Heney.
Wben the Fesslon of the court was
opened te the morning. George AV. Barnes,
t lawyer from Prinovllle. was recalled
by Mr. Heney for a short questioning be
irr tbe main work of the defense was
.taken up for the day. Mr. Heney elicited
from Barnes the fact that he was related
xm Gesnor by marriage. He asked him if
he had not told Knox Houston, in Prine
vitte. a snort time before the second trial
of the case, that he was only waiting for
U be given him by the defendants
oatore be started for Portland to assist in
Sne trial ef the case. This the witness
denied.
Brandon "Witness for Defense.
Then Clarence X.. Brandon, -the half
brotfeer of tbe murderer, Claud Brandon,
twas oallod by the defense to tell his story.
nWck proved not to be strong, and which
ws nampored by the hang-dog look and
money manner of the witness, once he
was brought under the range of crosa
exsutttiMiUoa. Brandon said, in brief, that he was a
roeMent of Sisters. Crook County, where
ne ban a homestead, upon which he had
oatttvatod IS acres of land, and where he
wns at present making his home. He
stated that in 1902 he had gone to Prlne
vtlte on bis way to Vale, Eastern Oregon,
and tnat here he had met Campbell Dun
can, who had told him that Gcsner was
looking for 10) men to take timber claims
Jot Mm. Following the suggestion of Dun-
tbe witness had gone to the shearing
where he had met a crowd waiting
to se Gosner. Duncan had asked Gesner
If he would buy the claims of those who
2Nd ttnon them, but Gesner had told him
anch a course was against the law. The
ieiondont had also warned Duncan that
he could not sell his claim or contract for
JNc sale. Gesner. however, had told them
nit that after the patents had been se-
the claims would be worth 4600 to
He had further said that he could
loan them te money for the fees, for
wMeh he would take a mortgage and
wootti take the grass as Interest.
Cross-Kxaminntlon Severe.
On the cross-examination the witness
noon, some very unpleasant minutes In
BUe of the objections of Mr. Bennett,
who argued that the misfortune of Bran
nan's family was not the crime of the wit
noss. Brandon testified that he had been the
Inst man to be seen with Silas Brandon.
Ins father, who had presumably been
downed this Summer in the Deschutes
river while in Crook County with his
son.
The witness further testified that he had
not boon with Claud Brandon when he
and a companion murdered John A. Linn
near Eugene and burned his body to hide
the crime. He had been with the party
and had gone as far as Sisters with them,
when he had stopped, allowing the other
three to go on. Asked whore John Bran
don, another brother, was at the present
time, the witness stated that he was
sorry to say he was in the penitentiary.
This brother is the man who killed John
Fletcher, near Cottage Grove, about a
year ago in order to get the Insurance
money from a policy made in favor of the
murderer.
Life a Roving One.
Mr. Honey askod searching questions of.
the witness as to his whereabouts during
all tbe years he has lived In Oregon as a
man, and made a point of the fact that
his life has been a roving one and un
settled. The witness testified that he had come
to Portland in answer to a telephone mes
sage from Dr. Gesner, who wished him as
a witness. He bad been promised the
same fee that would bo paid a Govern
ment witness. He had been in the office
of M, R. Elliott at Prineville. where he
had read in The Oregonian of Campbell
Duncan's testimony and had noted its
falsity. Hp had told Elliott of his being
on the trip and through this conversation
had bocomc a witness for the defense.
Gesner In His Own Behalf!
Following Brandon. Dr. Gesner went
upon the stand in his own defense, and
told the same story which he has twice
related to as many Juries. He had gone
to Biggs and Barnes asking for advice as
to how he could protect his range. He had
then been told that he could loan money
on the claims and take a mortgage and
he had done so. He had not intended to
violate the law and did not now think he
had done so. Inasmuch as be had made no
contract with any of those who had taken
claims.
A point was made by the defense of the
dates of payment of the checks given "V711
ford J. Crain and George N. Gaylord.
Those checks had been given on December
9, while the witnesses testified to having
received them a day sooner.
Dr. Gesner was on the stand during all
of the aftornoon,.Mr. Heney finishing his
cross-examination a little after 4 o'clock,
when the court was adjourned until this
morning at 9:30 o'clock.
WOULD QUASH INDICTMENTS
Attorney for Defendants in Federal
Court Slakes Argument.
S. B. Huston, attorney for the defend
ants In the Jones, Potter, Wade and
Jenes-Finch cases before the Federal
Court, contended yesterday afternoon
that a motion to quash should be al
lowed by Judge Hunt because of the ar
guments made by United. States District
Attorney Heney before Judge Bellinger at
the hearing of the 'Mitchell plea In abate
ment. Mr. Huston appeared In argument In the
Federal Court for a short time in defense
of his clients. The crime alleged In the
Indictments against them Is that they
entered Into a, conspiracy to defraud tho
Government of land. .The attorney stated
that one of his reasons for tbe motion to
quash was that the names of the wit
nesses examined before the grand Jury
were not affixed to the indictment, ac
cording to the provisions of the state law.
Mr. Huston argued that during the hear
ing of the Mitchell plea In abatement, Mr.
Heney had contended, and Judge Bel
linger had sustained him, that Federal
Courts followed the state law of pro
cedure. In that event, since the state law
expressly provided that the names of the
witnesseB before a grand Jury should be
on the Indictment, then his contention
was right and the motion should be grant
ed. Mr. Heney argued that Mr. Huston
had misunderstood his meaning. The
court took the question under advisement.

RATES FOR PORTLAND DAY
O. R. & X. Co. Allows Below Ono
Fnre for Bound Trip.
Portland day at the Lewis and Clark
Exposition, September 33, will be a
hummer if people of the state care to
take advantage of the specially favor
able rates named by the Oregon Rail
road & Navigation Company to induce
special travel on the date when the peo
ple of the metropolis desire to onter
taln the whole Northwest and make a
record for Fair attendance that will
eclipse all other days.
Rates named for the occasion are the
lowest ever announced In this terri
tory, being below a one-fare rate for
the round trip, and calculated to Induce
many persons who have not yet visited
the Exposition to do so at once, while
offering strong inducements for a re
turn trip of those who have previously
visited the Fair. Tickets will be sold
September 2fi and 29, with, return limit
of ten days, and will be honored on all

consistent encouragement to obtain the
fullest possible attendance at the Fair
from local territory.

DEVELOPED B SUIT
Relation of Wells-Fargo and
Harriman Are Shown.
COMMISSION FEE CAUSE
Action Brought to Recover for Sell
ing Property for New Building
at Sixth and Stark Leads
to 'Disclosures.
A building is to be ereoted on the
quarter block at the southwest corner
of Sixth and Oak streets In the near
future, for the Joint occupancy of
Wells, Fargo & Co., the Southern Pa
cific Company and the O. R. & N. Co.
The height of the structure has not yet
been decided upon, but it will probably
be the tallest In the city. Wolls, Fargo
& Co.'s express offices will occupy the
ground floor, and the offices of the
Harriman lines upper floors. There
may also be some floors for rent for
office purposes.
These facts came out yesterday In
Judge Sears Court while the trial of
the suit of Charles K. Henry, a real
estate agent, against J. H. Peterson to
recover $5000 commission for effecting
the sale of the property to Wolls, Fargo
& Co. for $100,000 was in progress. The
evidence disclosed that the O. R. & N.
were interested In the purchase, while
the title was In Wells, Fargo & Co.
Rountree & Diamond, real ostate deal
ers, also claim to have been the ones
who consummated the sale, and have
sued Peterson for $5000 commission.
Not Willing to Pay Twice.
Peterson Is not willing to pay two
commissions, and the result of the liti
gation will determine who Is entitled
to the money. Henry first had a verbal
contract with Peterson early In March,
and afterwards a written contract, ex
ocuted March 26, for 30 days, which, he
says, was to continue unless Poterson
notified him In writing to the contrary.
Poterson contends Henry's contract
never was exclusive, and It had ex
pired, and. that the best price Henry
ever offered for the property was
jss.ooe.
Henry commenced to testify concern
ing a conversation which he had with
B. A. Worthington, general manager In
Oregon of the Harriman linos, on March
4 last, when Mr. Worthington said he
had received word from Mr. Harriman
that ho was in favor of erecting a
building for office purposes in this city,
and a site was required. W. D. Fenton
objected to this evidence for various
reasons; that the conversation occurred
before the date of the written contract,
and that Mr. Henry could not relate
what Mr. Worthington stated, and also
that It did not connect Wells, Fargo &
Co., the purchaser of the property.
Controlled by Harriman.
Rufus Mallory, counsel for the plain
tiff, answered that It did not matter
If the title was taken In the name of
the O. R. & N. Co.. the Southern Pa
cific Company, or Wells. Fargo & Co.
Mr. Mallory called Mr. Fenton to the
witness stand and asked him If Wells.
Fargo & Co. was not controlled by the
Harriman system. Mr. Fenton replied
that Wells. Fargo & Co. was not en
tirely controlled by the Harriman sys
tem, and In response to another ques
tion, said he did not know that E. H.
Harriman was chairman of the board
of directors of the express company.
Dudley Evans was the president and
general manager. Mr. Mallory asked:
"He takes his orders from Mr. Harri
man, does he not?" Mr. Fenton again
professed Ignorance. He testified con
cerning the purchase of the property,
and said Mr. Chrlstenson. Wells, Fargo
&. Co.'s representative, came here. So
far as the witness knew. Wells, Fargo
'&. Co. was an individual purchaser,
and the Southern Pacific Company and
the O. R. & N.-Co. would be tenants.
W. W. Cotton, attorney for the
O. R. & N. Co., was also called
by Mr. Mallory as a witness. Mr. Cot
ton testified that ho was first ap
prised of negotiations concerning a
purchase on February 28 last. A quar
ter block at the northeast corner of
Third and Stark streets for $115,000
was considered, a quarter block at
the northeast corner of Fifth and Al
der for $150,000, a quarter block at the
corner of Fifth and Oak fpr 556,000. and
the Sixth-street property was bought.
Dudley Evans, president of Wells, Far
go & Co.. favored the Fifth and Alder
street corner, but the price was con
sidered high. Mr. Cotton also thought
the price high. Mr. Cotton read nu
merous telegrams which passed be
tween J. Kruttschnitt. director of
maintenance and equipment of the
Harriman lines, with offices at Chicago,
and B. A. Worthington, Dudley Evans,
E. H. Harriman and others, on the sub
ject. The trial will be continued to
day. '

Chief Gritzmacher Inclined to
Doubt Bailey.
FINDS REPORT PECULIAR
As Turned In by Policemen It Quotes
Erlckson's Son-ln-Law as Say
ing Saloon Could "Open
on the Quiet."
Acting Chief of Police Gritzmacher Is
said to be of the opinion that Captain
Bailey, commanding tire second relief,
is after his scalp, and to that end is
trying to "Job" him.
The Acting Chief, it is understood,
bases his belief upon the report pub
lished In The Oregonian yesterday.
This was a report handed to Captain
Bailey by Policemen Anderson and
O'Brien, who said that when they en
tored August Erlckson's saloon at 2:30
A. M. and -ordered the manager to close
up. Erlckson's .son-in-law replied by
saying that Gritzmacher had told him
he could run after hours "on the
quiet."
This written report was turned over
to Acting Chief Gritzmacher, who sent !
it before Deputy City Attorney Fitz- ;
gerald, requesting that a warrant be
issued for Erlckson's arrest. The war
rant Issued, the arrest waa made, and
the case is to be heard before Municipal
Judge Cameron this week.
Although the report is said to have
come to Captain Bailey through regu
lar channels, without any personal in
structions from him, it is said that
Acting Chief Gritzmacher Is Inclined
to the belief that the celebrated "on
the quiet" clause was wormed Into It
In some most peculiar manner, and. so
cautiously coupled with the name of the
head of the department as to make a
combination sentence, detrimental to
Captain Bailey's Immediate superior.
"When asked the direct question yes
terday as- to whether he suspected Cap
tain Bailey of "Jobbery," Acting Chief .
Gritzmacher said he had never men- :
tioned Bailey's namo to any one.
"Do you now think Captain Bailey
may have attempted to 'Job you in the .
Erlckson matter?" was asked. I
"Well, I don't know," was tho only j
reply.
In police circles it is known, or at !
least it Is thought, that Mayor Lane i
will appoint a permanent Chief shortly
after the close of the Lewis and Clark j
Exposition. It is also known that Cap
tain Bailey is a formidable candidate;
that he worked hard for the Lane forces
in the recent campaign, and sought -the
position now held temporarily by Mr.
Gritzmacher It Is supposed that upon
these known facts is based the belief of
the department head that there may
have been an object of peculiar interest
in the sensational report turned In to
Captain Bailey by two of tho latter's
subordinates.
Acting Chief Gritzmacher denies ever
giving permission of any kind to Erlck
son to violate the 1 o'clock closing or
dinance. Bartender Is Convicted.
Robert King, a bartender in the employ
of John Busby and J. Droullhat. saloon
keepers at Grand avenue and East Morri
son streets, was tried and convicted In
Jadre Sears' court-by a Jury yesterday of
selling beer to Charles Boggess. a minor.
Boggess -will reach big majority in Jaa-
Vegetable Compound Cures Where Others Fail jj
uary next, and King stated that Boggess
told him he was 21 years old when he
bought the beer. He was accompanied by
his brother. Thomas Boggess, and William
Nelson who are also minors. Indictments
against Busby and LVouilhat were dis
missed because the evidence disclosed the
fact that King alone was the guilty per
son. A. 31. Osburn Passes Away.
A. M. Osburn, who has been a resident
of Oregon since 1S61. died last night at
his home in Mont a villa at the age of 79.

No cocoa equals Lowney's

inferior in real strength.
Lowney's Cocoa is not
loaded frith ground cocoa
shells, flour, starch, or other
adulterants.
It consists of nothing but
the choicest cocoa beans
ground to flour fineness.
The result is the most deli

Such cocoa as Lowney's, if

would cost double the Lowney
