Today Defense Will Then Intro
duce Witnesses, and Case May
Go to Jury Wednesday.
t
Progress In the Halt Trial.
Government offers letters shewing
that Hall and others sought to hav
Heney prevented from conducting1 the
prosecution of the Oregon land-fraud
casea. Purpose of this evidence is t
show that Hall pursued obstructive
tactics in handling the land-fraud
prosecutions.
Heney develops the further fact that
although C. E. Loom Is, ex-Special
Agent, was considered dishonest. Hall,
who was acquainted with the reputa
tion of Loom Is, gave him an oppor
tunity to appear before the grand Jury
whea his alleged official misconduct
was being Investigated.
Nearly a core of letters are intro
duced showing the prosecution by Hall
of Individual settlers for Inclosing from
200 to 2000 acres of Government land,
in many cases without the formality of
an affidavit, while the Butte Creek
Company, which had about 20,000
acres inclosed, was not molested. -
Hall's croe-examl nation by Heney
will not be concluded before noon to
day, and It Is not probable that the
case will go to the Jury before Wed
nesday. John H. Hall. ex-United States Attor
ney, was on the witness stand all day yes
terday while Francis J. Heney, for the
Government, continued his searching and
rapid-fire cross-examination, which will
not be concluded before the noon adjourn
ment today. Supported by an armful of
affirmative correspondence, Heney sought
to develop the fact that Hall, having
failed, with the assistance of others, to
accomplish Heney's removal as Special
Prosecutor of the Oregon land-frauds,
Hall pursue obstructive tactics In bring
ing these cases to trial. Heney sought
further to prove that although Hall Krtew
C E. Loomis was dishonest and Incompe
tent as a special agent, the ex-District
Attorney kept Loo mis informed of the
sittings of the grand jury and . gave
lyoomls an opportunity to appear before
that body in his own defense when his
alleged official misconduct was under In
vestigation. More letters were intro
duced yesterday, disclosing that Hall
prosecuted more than a score of indi
viduals who had inclosed from 200 to
2-KiO acres of Government land, while the
Butte Creek Company, which was oper
ating in the same vicinity and at the
same time, had more than 20,000 acres of
public land fenced.
When the cross-examination of Hall Is
finished today. Judge Webster will call
another witness for the defense. This
witness will probably be either Edwin
Mays, Hall's former deputy, or K. P.
Mays, who was attorney for the Butte
Creek Company. When the defense has
closed, Heney will call a number of wit
nesses In rebuttal, among them being E.
W. Dixon, the Special Agent, who made
the Investigation of the Wheeler County
enclosures In the Summer of 1303. All of
the testimony can hardly be received be
fore Monday noon, and It Is not likely
that the caHe will be submitted to the
jury before Wednesday.
Brings Vp the Thayer Case.
During the a-fternoon Heney sought to
fasten another specific Instance of offi
cial Inaction on Hall by showing that the
Thayer timber land-frauds In Tillamook
County, In 1900, were not prosecuted. It
was charged by the prosecutor that these
frauds were brought before a grand Jury
by Hall only on the insistence of a spe
cial agent, and that Hall at the time de
cided that the statute of limitations had
run against the offense and had said that
should an Indictment be returned he
would not prosecute the case. This was
denied positively by Hall, who did say
lie had advised the Jurors that, according
to a ruling by Judge Deady, a conspiracy
was not a continuing crtme and that each
overt act committed within the statute
of limitations constituted a separate con
spiracy. Since the conspiracy in the
Thayer case antedated theime the indict
ment was returned-by more than three
years, the prosecution of the case was
barred by the statute of limitations, he
contended.
Questioned as to the purpose of his
visit to Washington in January, 1904,
Hall testified that it was customary
for the District Attorneys of the dif
ferent states to go to Washington an
nually for a conference with the Attorney-General.
He denied that on this
trip he did anything towards request
ing the removal of Heney or the cur
tailing of tils Jurisdiction in the land
frauds. After these admissions from
the witness, Heney produced a letter
from Hall t the Attorney-General,
dated December 6, 1906, in which Hall
requested permission to make a trip
to Washington. In the same connec
tion letters were offered that had
passed between Hall and M. C. Burch,
Special Assistant Attorney-General)
which Indicated plainly that they were
not at all pleased with the assignment
of Heney to a prosecution of the land
frauds. "Did you not In December, 1903. '
write letters to Senators Fulton ami
Mitchell protesting against the ap
pointment of Heney to prosecute the
Oregon land-frauds?" inquired Heney.
Judge Webster objected to the form
of cross-examination and, at the re
quest of the Court, Heney explained
that he proposed to show that the
threatened investigations of the land
frauds had alarmed Hall, who had
every reason to fear that the prosecu
tion nf thnsA rniip. vmiI.i !.
" luiricie
with his arrangement with Brownrll.
In answering, Hall admitted that he
was somewhat piqued when Heney was
placed In charge of the land-fraud in
vestigation, but ha denied that he ever
worked actively against Heney's ap
pointment or requested Fulton and
Mitchell to file the protest that was
presented against the appointment.
Hall Defends His Action. .
Hall defended his action in permit
ting Loomis to appear before the
Krand jury in his own interest, by Bay
ing that it was his practice when
prominent citizens were under sus
picion and were being Investigated by
the grand .Jury to give them a chance
to give en explanation before the jury,
potters were then offered showing that
Hall's relations with I,obmis were very
Intimate, the ex-District Attorney
keeping Loomis advised of the meet
ings of the grand jury particularly
whenever anything of Interest to the
special agent was being investigated.
Loonite was among those who had the
privilege of appearing personally be
fore the grand Jury.
Heney gained from Hall the admis
sion that Greene had told Hall that
Heney in the Summer of 1903 had per
sonally recommended Hall to the Pres
ident for reappointment and had re
ceived the assurance tllat the appoint
ment would be made immediately fol
lowing the Presidential election In No
vember of that year. Reference to
Hall's commission showed that his re
appointment was made on November
9, or the day following the election.
The purpose of this testimony is pre
sumed to be to shjaw that Heney was
friendly towards Hall and used his in
fluence with the President to secure
Hall's reappointment.
When court adjourned for the day,
Heney had just reached the Sorenson
letter. In which Hall wrote advising
the land-fraud operator, who was then
at La Crosse. Wis., of the date of the
grand jury sitting and the land-fraud
trials. Heney will resume his cross
examination this morning.
The greater part of the morning ses
sion yesterday was devoted to the in
troduction of further correspondence
between Hall and various individual
settlers throughout Wheeler and Gil
liam Counties in 1901 and 1902. By
these letters It was shown that Hall
had forced small settlers who had in
closed from 200 to 2000 acres of Gov
ernment land Immediately to remove
their fences, while the Butte Creek
Company was permitted to maintain
fences by which 23,000 acres were in
close, although settlers had repeat
edly filed complaints against the cor
poration. Tried to Get Deady Removed.
Further correspondence was present
ed at the morning session showing that
in 1903 Hall attempted to have E. N.
Deady removed as special agent. In a
letter to Mitchell on January 5, 1903,
Hail wrote that Deady had in some way
managed to get appointed special
agent. "Deady is not a friend of ours,"
wrote Hall, "and never has been and
never will be, and I do not think he
should, under the present circum
stances, be enjoying the emoluments
of office. He is not fittod for the
position in any way, and I am In favor
of friends holding positions of this
kind, provided they want them."
Hall recommended to Mitchell the
appointment of D. C. Powell to suc
ceed Deady, but Mitchell questioned
the advisability of making any change
at the time. "Just now. however,
owing to the eternal howl about land
frauds In Oregon, it is pretty difficult
to get appointment for any of our
friends," replied Mitchell. "This mat
ter will have to blow over. There is
about to be and will be perhaps before
tnis reaches you, another explosion
over ths Surveyor-General's office.
This will add still further to the em
barrassment of the situation."
Hall acknowledged that this , corre
spondence was purely of a political
aspect. He said Powell was a friend
both of his and Mitchell and besides
was a very competent and deserving
man who was afterwards o-iven a r-
sltlon In the forestry department.

Tribute to Patrick Q. Healy. '
PORTLAND, Or., Jan. 31. (To the Edi
tor.) I shall thank you for the courtesy
of The Oregonian In order to pay a last
tribute to the memory of my old friend
and fellow-townsman, the late Patrick
Q. Healy. of this city. Mr. Healy was a
native of the historic town of Castiebar,
County Mayo, Ireland, and could trace
his genealogy back to the Milesian
period. The coat of arms of his ances
tors, as well as can be deciphered from
the Annals of the Four Masters, was the
ancient figure of a harp, a Celtic cross
and the wolfdog, emblazoned on their
escutcheon. The Healy family, like so
many thousands of the sea-divided Gael,
were the victims of the accursed feudal
system of English . land laws which for
centuries has blighted the happy homes
of the bravest peasantry on God's green
earth. The Irish bard. Oliver Goldsmith,
m his "Deserted Village." makes the
following significant and pathetic allu
sion: Princes and lords may flourish or may fade;
A breath can make them as a breath has
made; 1
But a bold peasantry, their country's pride.
When once destroyed can never be supplied.
Mr. Healy came to the United States
in I860, and when, the Civil War broke
out and the immortal Lincoln Issued his
war proclamation, the martial spirit of
Patrick Q. Healy was among the first to
respond to the sound of the tocsin. Mr.
Healy occupied several important and
responsible positions under the United
States Government, the duties of which
he always discharged with credit to him
self and advantage to the service. For
many years he held the position of hos
pital steward at Vancouver, Wash., and
as a special recognition for faithful serv
ice he was appointed to the onerous po
sition of physician in the Tulalip reser
vation by General Grant. The Healy
family have been j-esidents of the City of
Portland for several years past, where
the old gentleman and his eldest son, Jo
seph M. Healy, have been engaged in the
real estate and investment business. Six
children survive to mourn ythe loss of
both parents three young gentlemen and
three young ladies, who, it is needless to
add, are a credit and an edification to
the community and church to which they
belong. L. M. MORTtlN.

Mrs. Anna C. Braden Testifies
That 'fApril Blossom" Stole
Her Husband's Love.
EXPOSES FAMILY SKELETON
Maizes Sensational Charges Against
Physician on. "Witness Stand,
Judge Gantenbein Grants Di-
vorces to Seven Others.
Nine applicants for divorce appeared
before Judge Gantenbein, in the State
Circuit Court yesterday. Eight decrees
were granted, the court refusing the pe
tition of Nels Jensen, who cannot prove
legal service of process in ills- suit, x ne
most time was consumed in hearing the
woes of Mrs. Anna C. Braden, who al
leged that she had been supplanted in the
affections of her husband. Dr. Walter B.
Braden, by Virginia Vernon, a variety
actress, known ne "The April Blossom.
She complained that her husband gave her
only $11 last year, with which to provide
for the household, while "that woman"
was well provided for by him. In her
desperation Mrs. Braden said she followed
her husband to a meat market one day,
and when he bought a fine sirloin steak,
for "The April Blossom," appropriated It
and followed him to another shop, where
he bought lamb chops. She said she took
the chops, too.
Braden, she said, gave her a telephone
number, and told her to ring him up there
any time he was away from home. She
found later that this was the number of
"The April Blossom" In the Alpine flats.
' Braden brought the suit for divorce
originally, charging that his wife had
tampered with mail on his desk. Upon a
cross-complaint toeing filed by his wife,
he permitted the suit to go against him
by default. The Bradens married in Port
land in 1902 The custody of the two-
year-old son was given to the mother,
alimony being fixed at $20 a month.
The testimony of John Henry Gaus was
to the -effect that his wife, Cora G. Gaus,
preferred to earn her own living telling
fortunes, and dressing hair, and that she
refused to attend to the duties of the
household. Tbey were married In Van
couver, Was., In February, 1888. Sue de
serted him In March, 1905, according to
Gaus, and has since refused to return.
On this ground a decree was granted.
Mary H. Marwln testified that A. T.
Marwin, her husband, lived with her but
13 days after their marriage in Marlon
County, in November, 1906. She said he
told her that he was going to look for
work, but that she never heard from him
afterward and that he never sent her
money. The court granted her petition.
Mrs. Sadie G. Hiett said her husband,
C. E. Hiett, never provided a home for
her, although she rented rooms and trjed
to establish one. The couple were mar
ried In August, 1906, and Mrs. Hiett said
yesterday that she has lived with her
mother ever since. She said Hiett was a
streetcar conductor and that he was un
reasonably jealous, refusing to permit her
to go out even with her mother. In ad
dition to a divorce Mrs. Hiett was per
mitted to resume her maiden name, Car
rigues. '
After a trip her husband, J. J. Mc
Carthy, took while the couple lived in
Hanford, Cai., when he was reported to
have been seen In company with another
woman, Mrs. Maud McCartyl said there
was no peace In her home and on this
showing a decree was granted. The
couple were married in Vancouver, Wash.,
In 1893.
Although she clerked in her husband's
store In Lebanon, Or., Mrs. Maggie Cur
Bier said that William Currier continually
neglected and abused her. She said fur
ther that he slapped and- beat her and
threatened her life. They were married
in Lebanon, in March, 1900. The mother
was given the custody of -her six-year-old
daughter.
That her husband, John Celestlno Car
mignani, blacked her eye and assumed
proprietorship of her restaurant, at First
and Columbia streets, was the charge on
which Emilie Carmignanl secured a di
vorce. She said further that her husband
once left her in Chicago, destitute. They
were married at Marseilles, France, in
1904. I .
Antonia Del Grosso alleged a statutory
crime to secure a divorce from Mary' Del
Grosso. He named Guido Consigli as co
defendant. The couple were married in
Vancouver, Wash., in 1892.
Judge Gantenbein would not grant Nels
Jensen a divorce until he ascertained
that Pansy Jensen had been given proper
lAgal notice. The couple were married in
Yamhill County in 1903 and Jensen" said
his wife left him in December, 1906. be
cause she could not learn to love him.

in the Circuit Court against Roy ..Muri
etta, alleging cruelty. They were mar
ried at HillFboro September 16, 1907. Sue
