HENEY LIBEL SUIT COSTS ARE HEM William H. Crocker Asks That Plaintiff Be Compelled to Give Bond for Costs. BIG LIABILITY PENDING Thongh Only Part of Testimony Be fore Commissioner Has Been Taken, Bill Already Has Run lp to $3500. KEW YORK, July 24. (Special.) An affidavit filed In the Supreme Court to day shows that the trial of a suit for (250.000 damages for libel brought by Francis J. Heney against William H. Crocker, of San Francisco, because of a letter written by Crocker criticising Heney's conduct of the graft prosecu tion, will he one of the most costly ever conducted fn the Supreme Court here. The chief Item of cost is the taking of depositions of 75 witnesses In San Fran cisco, including Abe Ruef. Eugene Schmits and nearly all the persons con nected with the graft cases. Heaey Declared Kxerutlon Proof. Nathan A. Smyth, counsel for Crock er, asked Supreme Court Justice Blsch o(T to compel Heney to file security for costs of the case, on the ground of nori residence. and in his affidavit said that it has been necessary to engage two rooms In San Francisco for the taking of testimony before H. E. Heacok, as commissioner, and although only part of the testimony had been taken, the cost has already reached J3500. The cost will be many times greater than that In an ordinary proceeding-, Smyth said, and If the defendant wins there will be heavy liability on the plaintiff, and. so far as the attorney knows, Heney has no property that would be subject to execution. Trial Will Be LeaslbT. Counsel for Heney opposed the mo tion. Justice Bischoff decided that while Crocker would have been entitled to security for costs as a matter of right If he had applied soon after the action was brought, that security can not be required when the case has pro ceeded so far. Counsel for Crocker replied that he had no Idea until just now that the trial would prove so costly. It Is ex pected that the trial will last a month.

Diversion of Funds Charg-ed. Moreaux was tried upon the specific charge of diverting money belonging to the Bass Thousand-Acre Ranch Com pany, of which he was both secretary and president. Checks showing where the money was drawn and how spent were intro duced by the state, but a peculiar fea ture of the trial was that at no time was a complaining witness used nor did anyone appear before the Jury to say he had lost money by Moreaux" transactions. The defendant, through demurrers which were overruled, contended that the information against Moreaux was defective and that the evidence pro duced by the prosecution was contrary to the information. Mrs. Dwight Not Witness. ' The defendant testified that he re ceived the money as treasurer, whereas he was charged with taking It while acting as agent of the company. The state did not introduce Mrs. Dwight as a witness, as the charge in this trial did not bear directly on the business rela tions between the promoter and Mrs. Dwight. "The verdict is exactly what I ex pected." said Moreaux. "1 consiiered that the Jury was prejudiced from start to finish, and for that reason my at torneys refrained from submitting evi dence they otherwise would have of fered. Moreaux' wife, who is not living with her husband, when told of his convic tion, said: "I think he will be more fortunate in the next trial. He has ample grounds for an appeal. I hope all the things of which he has been accused are not true. STUDENTS T0SEE EXHIBIT Chemawa Indians Also Will Hear Address on Tuberculosis. SALEM. Or.. July 24 (Special.)
