TOLD MBS.HARRIS
TO SWEAR FALSELY
Witness Makes , Sensational
Statement About Cashier
of Lewiston Bank.
IDAHO LAND-FRAUD CASE
Spokane Woman Says Robnet Talked
Over Matters While In Church and
Sought to Show Her Every
thing Was "AH Right."
MOSCOW, Idaho. May 31. (Special.)
Testimony tending to show that J. B.
West, former Register of the Lewiston
Land Office, was bribed by the Lewiston
National Bank officials to expedite the
"putting through" of the land-office entry
men of the bank officials, was the sen
sational statement made on the witness
stand this morning by Mrs. May J. Har
ris, of Spokane, while testifying in the
North Idaho land conspiracy case. She
said that when she demurred to swearing
falHely. Incidental to taking up a timber
claim. Clarence W. Robnet, bookkeeper at
the bank, co-cpnsplrator In the case at
bar and convicted last Fall of subornation
of perjury, said to her In substance, "Oh,
that's all right: all you have got to do
is to keep still. Mr. West will put you
through. We have got them paid for
that."
The witness later declared that when
the refused to take up a claim demanded
of her by Robnet, he said to her: "If you
don't I'll make trouble for you; I'll put
you behind the bars."
Boasted of Making Easy Money.
When she wanted to discuss with her
attorney, O'Nell, the advisability of fil
ing upon the land before first going upon
It. Robnet said to her, the witness testi
fied: "You stay away from Mr. O'Neil;
he ll get us all Into trouble."
Mrs. Harris said that Robnet confessed
to her that he was defrauding the Gov
ernment, boasted of the money he was
making, adding that if they all stood to
gether, "that everything will come out all
right."
When Robnet talked to her about her
daughters taking up a claim and she said
they were both under age, Mrs. Harris
testified that Robnet said: "Oh, that's all
right; West will push them through."
All this testimony was brought out
on cross-examination by fhe defense.
Despite the fire of questions put to
her. the witness could not be shaken.
Joel H. Benton, of Lewiston, also
proved a bad witness for the defense.
He swore that Robnet went to him
after It was learned they had all been
Indicted, he having also taken up a
claim, with the statement: 'If we all
tell the same story and hang together,
everything will come out all right."
Talked It Over in Church.
Robnet also approached him, the
witness declared, relative to telling a
falsehood as to where he got the money
to prove up with. But Benton refused
to listen to any such proposition.
During the afternoon session Mrs.
Harris was followed by her two daugh
ters. Misses Jeanette and Ethel Harris.
,They said they attended the church
where Robnet did, and that it was at
church and elsewhere that he discussed
with them the advisability of taking
up timber claims. Miss Jeanette said
Robnet told her that she being under
age would not affect the matter In the
least. All she had to do was to say
that she was of age.
R. N. Wright, superintendent of
schools at Lewiston, was next called.
As District Attorney Ruick put It, the
"witness either does not remember, or
does not want to tell what he knows,"
for he was a very reluctant witness.
He told of borrowing the money to
take up the claims for his wife and
himself, getting It from W. F. Ketten
harh. president of the Lewiston Na
tional Bank, saying he preferred to
use borrowed money than his own.
His examination, papers at the Land
Office show that he swore that he was
Vgiaylng for his claim out of his own
:nb)ey. and his wife testified that she
paid for tier claim out of her money.
Mr. Wright explained the matter by
saying that when Receiver Garby
asked him If the money was his own,
that he did not answer; that Mr. Garby
Just took It for granted that It was
his an1 answered the question "yes."
As Mr. Wright expressed it, "they
were rushing people through so rapidly
that not much attention was paid to
the questions and answers."
