Western Electxopode Co, 141 Los A&galsa Bt, Loa Angelas, Calif, n OR. SMITH TELLS PACT WITH HENRY Blocks R and S Pooled at $500,000 Each, Is Testi mony in Suit. PRICE CUT DOWN LATER Offer 3fade Subsequently by Henry to Forego Commission Con demnation Proceeding Will Go to Jury Today. That Dr. Andrew C. Smith and Charles K. Henry entered Into an agreement while the Government's representatives were endeavoring to fix a postofflos site, by which Mr. Henry offered block R, Couch addition, for 1500.000. and Dr. Smith agreed to offer block S at the same price, was the testimony of Dr. Smith yesterday. United States Dis trict Attorney McCourt made him a witness for tha Oovernment In rebuttal. In tha condemnation suit wherein tha Oovernment is seeking to secure the east half of block S for $160,000. Dr. Smith said that Mr. Henry went to him and said he had put block R in at $500,000. and ha wanted Dr. Smith to put block S In at the same price. Thla Dr. Smith said he agreed to do. A contract was thereupon drawn up, by which each agreed that whichever sold his property would pay the other 15000 as a commission for tha sals. Redaction First Refused. Fenator Bourne came to Portland later, said Dr. Smith, and wanted the prioe reduced. -Bourne sent Henry to lit," said Dr. Smith, "to tell us that If wa did not knock down the price he would not recommend the. purchase of the block. Henry recommended that wa cut down our price, so as to meet Senator Bourne's demand. I refused at first. Then he said, 'I have told Sen ator Bourne that I nave nothing at atake In this matter, and if you will give an option on your east half of the block at 1200.000 for 10 days I will cancel this contract I have with you for 16000.' He did so. "He asked me to Interview A. King Wilson, and to get him to reduce his price. 'We would reduce ours, and then we could make a quick sale.' he aald. Mr. Wilson, representing the Espey Estate Company, owner of the west halt of block S, refused to reduce his price a dollar. When I talked to him he made some Joshing remark about that being Uncle Sara's usual way of doing business, and said he would stick to his price.. "We then cut the east half fli.000. which was. In reality, a cut of only flO.OOO for us, because we disposed of C K. Henry' graft of $5000. It Is a dream of bis that we ever offered to sell the property for llfiQ.000. Mr. Henry thought at that time that thla property waa a great bargain at 1200.000. Contract on Prescription Blank. "We made this $5000 contract on his declaration that he had put In block R at $500,000 when we put In our bid for block 8 at $340,000. Although it waa cheap at that money, he thought he could get It through at $500,000. Otherwise, he said, the two blocks would be opposing each other, and he TSie EimI So' Long Del X Delayed material for the new Eilers Music House at 7th and Alder streets has finally arrived.

He waa to assiet In the dis posal of block S at $240,000. This con tract for the $5000 waa written by C K. Henry in my office, on one of my prescription blanks, and in It he held me for $5000 In case block S waa aold. If block R was sold I was to have $5000. It waa discovered, however, there were parts of block R to which he had no more right than he had to block S in 1909. Therefore block K was a holdup. "Mr. Henry seems to think he is the whole thing down there," continued Dr. Smith, In answer to another question put to him by. Mr. McCourt. "He says that after he had worked up this sale for the Government I took the property away from him and gave It to Bollam & Thompson. It la Infamously falee. I never had anything to do with Henry except to negotiate this Sixth and Everett streets property .through him." Charles K. Henry waa then recalled to the witness stand by District At-' torney McCourt. and waa asked regard ing his written statement to former Postmaster Young, in which he offered the block for $275,000. This testimony was ruled out upon objection being made by counsel for the defendants. Henry Admits Commission. Mr. Henry said the $5000 Item came up In the latter part of 1910. "Dr. Smith gave an option to somebody else." said Mr. Henry. "I waa to get a commission from him for the sale of the block. I waa to get a commission of $5000 If block S went, and he was to get a commission of $5000 If block R went. I went to him and told htm I waa willing to forego a commission of any kind if they would reduce the price of the property so the Government would take It- After A. King Wilson had agreed to sell the Espey Estate's half block for $125,000 I wrote out a similar proposal for the other half. -In 1909, when I first went to him. Dr. Smith made me a price of $150,000. There waa no talk at that time as to who the buyer was to be. There was talk then 'Of paying the usual commis sion of 5 per cent on the first $2000 and thi per cent, on the balance." "I never authorised Mr. Henry to of fer this property to the Government for $150,000," said Dr. Smith. "I had a con versation with him In July. 1910. In which I offered the property for $240, 000." In arguing the case before the Jury, Arthur C. Spencer figured the entire block as worth $275,000 In September, 1909. Adding $41,250, the Interest at per cent for two and a half years; $110,000, the 40 per cent of unearned Increment which witnesses said prop erty In that section had gained since the talk of the Broadway bridge, and $5000 as commission, the entire block would be worth today $431,250. Half of this would be $215,625. East Half More Valuable. Mr. Spencer said he believed the east half worth $100,000 more than the west half of the block, which would make the present value of the east half $265, 625, and of the-west half, $165,625. Andrew C. Smith, the Security Sav ings A Trust Company and the Pacific Trust & Investment Company value the east half at $250,000 and the Espey Estate Company Is holding the west half at $179,000. The Government wlshea to pay $250,000 for the entire block. $150,00 for the east half and $100,000 for the west half. District Attorney McCourt argued to the Jury that bootblack stands, fruit stands, bicycle stands, small cigar a tan ds and small saloons would go In In the vicinity of Seventh and GHsan streets, near the new Postoffice, or on this block when the Broadway bridge Is completed if the Government does not purchase It. "Give the defendant the benefit of the doubt, and add $25,000 to the price the Government has set. making it $175,000. but don't hold up tha Government by compelling it to pay the exorbitant' price of $250,000," he said.
