Furniture & Lumber Company, in
dicted with the rest of the defendants
now on trial la tiie "Lxs Angeles con
spiracy" cases, and who pleaded guilty
when the case, came to trial, was the prin
cipal witness yesterday. Kerr was the
man who cot a number of the citizens of
Port Orford to take up timber claims for
the company and handled the finances
and paid the Minn fees. Kerr tried to
explain away his actions by saying that
he was Ignorant of the law. but he was
badly shaken wnen It came to the severe
cross-examination by Attorney alacLe
rimre and John Mannlnjr.
Kerr admitted on cross-examination that
V of tho money that went to pay the
entrymca wu borrowed on bis own per
sonal note, a note -which he said he
signed "unconsciously." A number of
other witness who had taken un timber
claims testified that they had no personal
acquaintance with the defendants Hedder
ly. Myers or Hynea. and that they did
their business through Kerr.
Another witness who told of his deal
ings with the company was A. J. Marsh,
ex-County Commissioner at Port Orfo
Marsh testified that he had" been ap
proached by Kerr one nipht at his home.
Marsh had lost his business by a fire and
said that Kerr had told him he could
make some money by taking up a claim.
Ho swore that Kerr, when Marsh said
that he had no money, told him he would
furnish him with the necessary finances
if he would take up a claim and sell it to
the company. S. H. Stevens, ex-Sheriff,
also was one of the entrymen who testi
fied. He was forced to admit that he had
perjured himself when it came to filing
final proofs. In telling where he received
the money.

ELECTION BETTING BEGINS
ABOUT $4000 WAGERED SO FAR
IX PORTLAND.
Prevailing Odds 2 to 1 on Taft,
With Largest Bet Known
$3500 to $1750.
That portion of Portland's sporting
gentry who only wager on elections is
beginning to get into action and dur
ing the last two weeks something like
$4000 has been posted on the Presiden
tial election. In spite of the fact that
in the East the odds on Taft have been
hovering around 34 and 4 to 1, here
in the city the prevailing odds have
been 2 to 1. with-- an occasional small
bet of 3 to 1.
The largest wager made so far was
a bet that was made by two prominent
business men as the result of a politi
cal talk during luncheon. While the
talk was tropical the Taft man wag
ered S3500 against- $1750. that Taft
would defeat Bryan. The next largest
bet that has reached the ears of the
gossips was $220 against 1150. The
rest of the money has been wagered in
small bets of $100 and less and most of
this has been bet on Taft's majority in
Oregon. One or two foolish Bryanites
have figured that Bryan will not be
beaten by more tnan 12,000, but the
most of the money has been placed that
Taft will get between 15,000 and 19,000
over Bryan.
men, and a patriotic musical programme
will be arranged.
