10 THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAy, PORTLAND, JULY 30, 1905T. STARR WILLUKE HID MN Williamson's Nephew, Now in Custody, Will Ba Last Witness. ARGUMENTS THEN FOLLOW Representative "Williamson Admits June Visit to Prinevllle, Al though It 3 la do Xo Impres sion on Ills Memory. ERNEST STAJIR, MISSING WIT NESS, ARRIVES. Ernest Starr, the missing witness, arrrved on the Southern Pacific last night In company with Deputy Mar shal Griffith, and was Immediately allowed to go to the residence of his parents at University Park. He ad mitted to Government officials that his motive In going away was to avoid, testifying against his uncle. Repre sentative Williamson. Thursday the men who were searching for Starr were surprised to see him come riding down the road to McKcnrte Bridge, SO miles east of Eugene. He had rid den down from the sheep camp near Belknap Springs, 28 miles farther up In the mountains, to surrender him self to the officers who had been looking for him. Starr says he had no Information that ho was wanted until an officer went to O'Leary's sheep camp to look for him. and upon learn ing that a subpena was out for him. he left the vicinity of the bridge and went to the sheep camp. As soon as he arrived there Thursday afternoon and gave himself up he was served with the subpena and the Deputy Marshal started with him for Port land. They arrived at Eugene Just in time to catch the afternoon train north. Ernest Starr, tne nephew of J. 2f. "Wil liamson, who was captured at J. V. O'Leary's sheep camp, near McKenzlc's Bridge, arrived In Portland last night In time to bear witness against his kinsman Monday morning at 9 o'clock. Mr. Wil liamson has been on the stand, but did not give any testimony other than what related to his presence in Prinevllle on June 15, 1902, thus keeping the bars up against any extended cross-examination by Mr. Heney. The trial Is ended with the exception of hearing the testimony of Starr, the arguments by the attorneys, the charge by the court, and the verdict. Yesterday's session of the Federal Court was a short one, lasting only for an hour and 30 minutes, but that time was suffi cient for the defense to close Its case by putting Mr. Williamson on the stand for a few minutes and then bringing four wit nesses to provo the good character and reputation of the defendants. The prose cution placed four witnesses upon tho stand, and rested its case at 11:30 o'clock, after a little argument with Judge De Haven as to whether court would be ad journed in order to. allow the Government time to bring tho witness Starr from his hiding-place, or would continue with the argument, thus curtailing tho case of the prosecution and depriving It of one of Its principal witnesses. Mr. Heney, upon finishing with his last witness, announced that hls case had ended, unless the court would allow him to place Starr upon the stand when he liad reached the city. Mr. Heney stated tn.at he would continue his argument If the court desired. "I have nothing to do with that," said Judge De Haven. "Well," said Mr. Heney, "If Tour Honor has nothing to do with It, tho Government will ask that an adjournment be taken until Monday, in order that Starr can be put upon tho stand." "The court will be adjourned until 9 o'clock Monday morning," said Judge Ie Haven. "I have no time to lose, and will have to place the time for calling court early." Mr. Heney indicated that the hour made but little difference. Xo Chance to Cross-Exatnlne. The defense. In closing Its case, did not give the prosecution a chancb to get at Mr. Williamson on cross-examination. The defendant was placed upon the stand and asked concerning his presence In Prinevllle during the latter part of June, 1902.. He stated that after investigating tne matter he had found that he had been in the town at that time, though he still could not place the visit In his mind. That was the substance of his testimony, and upon the opening of the cross-examination Judge De Haven cautioned Mr. Heney that he could ask only such questions as bore upon the direct testi mony of the witness; that he was a de fendant, and for that reason the rules of evidence would be followed strictly In the examination. This barred the District Attorney from any line of questioning that would bring any statements from the witness connect ing him with the conspiracy charged, and proved the foresight of the prose cutor In having the admissions made at the former trial proved by witness Rittenhouse, who had heard the testi mony. In opening the case in the morning. Judge Bennett called Mr. Williamson to the stand and questioned him con cerning the June visit to Prinevllle. The witness stated he had previously testified that he had no definite knowl edge of having been In Prinevllle at the time indicated, and while he had found from documentary evidence that he had been there, still he could not remember the visit. After the first trial he had made an Investigation and had found some telephone statements and other data which proved to him that he had been there. At the time of the first trial the wit ness had not attached any importance to his presence in the city, and he had not made any investigation. Ona thing that convinced him that he had been there was a telephone memoranda to Judge "Webster, of Multnomah County. He had been requested to sell a farm for the Judge, and thought perhaps he had made the trip at the time to see about the sale. His visit there, the witness said, had "been just after the campaign, and it was possible that he had gone up to shako hands with the boys and explain -to them how he had not been able to come there during the canvas. Dcales Theory of ProsecHtloa. On the cross-examination Mr. Heney asked the witness it he and Gesner had not held many consultations over their case, and if they bad not -determined it to be the theory of the case that 'Willlasa 0on sbovlel sot be connected with R In any way., Is foUewtog. tht, theory, it wan asked If the dates of visits to FrteeviUe had not been fixed in March and July, and perhaps February, so that "William son . could be shown not to have had an opportunity to converse about the timber claims ixpm the time the warning was given by the cattlemen to get off the range, thus furnishing a motive for tak ing the land, until after the first filings had been made in July. Mr. Williamson admitted that the developments of tho trial had seemed to Indicate such a theory but he denied that he and Gesner had set tled upon any .such defense. Mr. Heney introduced some letters writ ten by Mr. "Williamson at Prinevllle, In June, which were Identified "by the wit ness, and offered as further evidence to prove the presence of the witness In Prinevllle at the time contended for by the prosecution. On redirect examination Mr. "Williamson testified that he had said at the first trial If he had been in Prinevllle during the latter part of June he perhaps bad dis cussed the timber-land question with Ges ner, but that he'did not remember of hav ing been there at that time. Good Reputation Proved. After Mr. Williamson had been excused from the stand Judge W. la. Brads haw, of The Dalles, was called to prove the good reputation of the defendants. The wit ness stated that he has known all of the defendants for many years and that here tofore they had borne the best of reputa tions. Judge De Haven asked Mr. Heney if he Intended to r controvert the testimony bearing upon the reputations of the de fendants, and was told that no such at tempt would be made, that the good repu tation was admitted. The court then held that tho defense would be limited to four such witnesses. Judge Bennett objected to the ruling, arguing that he wished to bring overwhelming .proof from boyhood up to the present. The court held that if one witness was enough to establish a controverted fact, then four ought to prove an admitted fact, and held to the four, as at first named. The defense called T. H. La Follett, a stockman of Prinevllle, who said the defendants had always borne good reputations. i Mr. Heney asked the witness if he had run sheep in 1902, and the court inter rupted him by stating that If he attempt ed to break the witness down, the court would allow the defense to bring in all the testimony they desired. Mr. Heney excused the witness without question. Willie "Wurtzweller and Perry Davis, both of Prinevllle, testified as to the repu tations of the defendants. Senator Fulton was called, but was not present. The de fense rested Its case at 10:30 o'clock. Mr. Heney called J. H. Gray, a stock man, as his first witness In rebuttal. Mr. Gray was the man who Gesner testified had warned the firm of Williamson & Gesner to keep off the range or they would suffer. The witness stated that he did not tell Dr. Gesner that the sheep would have to be taken off the range or that the cattlemen had appointed him as a spokesman fo warn the firm of Wil liamson & Gesner to give up the land de sired by the cattlemen. The District Attorney asked the witness who had been the president of the Cattle, men's Association in 1902, and the defense objected to the question. The court sus tained tho objection, and Mr. Heney stat ed that he desired to show that Mr. Biggs was one of the officers of the association. Mr. Heney stated further that he felt that the court had placed him In a false light before the jury in that he had, by a ruling of the day previous, cast tho sus picion upon him of having desired and attempted to place improper testimony before the Jury- The attorney stated that when. In his examination of Biggs, he had asked concerning the witness' own filing, and the court had held that the Government could "not go into the whole life of the witness," he had been asking questions which he deemed proper and which were supported by authority at n ut placed before tho court. If desired. Judge De haven. In reply, said that he did not wish to Intlmato that the attor neys on cither side had attempted to bring testimony Into the case which they did not think to be proper. It was often the case that the court and the attorneys differed as to the admissibility of evi dence, and this was the fact in the pres ent Instance Returning to the witness. Mr. Heney elicited from him that In 1902 there had been no war between the cattlemen and the sheepmen of tho section, and that whenever any disputes arose they were settled by being referred to committees. James Keenan, a member of the sheep firm of Morrow & Keenan, was called by the Government. He had been In the sheep business In 1902, so ho testified, and there had been some difficulty between j the firms of Morrow & Keenan and of Williamson & Gesner over the range : close around tho Cadle ranch. On cross- examination Mr. Bennett asked If the witness had ever been "present at any difficulty or dispute, and, finding that he hadn't asked the court to strike tho tes timony out as being hearsay. The court allowed the request. Denies Biggs' Statement. T. B. Keuhausen testified that In 1902 he had gone to Prinevllle as a special agent of the General Land Office to make the final cross-examination of the claimants thero prior to passing on their claims. At that time he had taken the statement of Biggs. Tho witness denied most emphat ically that he had ever said to Biggs, "You fellows are all right. Biggs.- Tou have done nothing wrong, and I will rec ommend your claims." He characterized the statement as "absolutely incorrect." On cross-examination the witness told how he had taken the cross-examinations, and stated that ho wrote all answers made In the exact language of the appli cant. He had not represented himself to be a friend to the people, but had simply done his duty as an officer of tho Gov ernment. "Didn't you tell Biggs that you were a friend to the people and had come to help them out?" persisted Judge Bennett. "No, sir," was the answer. "Biggs came In and said that Gesner was scared; that he had gone out to his ranch like a scared jack rabbit, and had told tho people that he wouldn't lend them the money. Biggs gave me the idea that he was victim ized." Mrs. Neuhauscn was called, and told of being present when Biggs made his state ment. The witness denied that her hus band had made any statement about Biggs being all right: Robert Spaulding, an assistant special agent of the General Land Office, told of having seen Gesner talking with John S. "Watklns at the saloon of Lewis & White on July 1L He told of an extended meet ing between the men. On cross-examination Mr. Bennett grew sarcastic, and asked the witness If It was a part of the duty of an assistant special agent to hang around saloons and see what was going on. The Government closed its case at 11:30 and asked to have the court adjourned until Monday morning. In order to allow the officers to reach the city with Ernest Starr. The motion was allowed. Centenary Sunday School Picnic. The Sunday school of Centenary M. E. Church, held a basket picnic yesterday in Hawthorne Park, which was well attend ed by members of the church. The line of march from the church was on East Pine to Twelfth and thence to the park. Tables were spread with the contents of well-filled h&skets brought by the teachers and children. In the afternoon there were games. The following had general charge of the affair: Chairmen of committees, E. S.

NOT SO WELL PROTECTED Still He Is Willing to Serve In the Position So Long as Mayor Lane Desires to Keep Him There. Therr is twice the salary for being Chief that' there Is in being captain of police, out less satisfaction, more troubles and no particular protection. These are the sentiments expressed by Acting Chief of Police Gritzmacher, In an interview yesterday. He is not at all inappreciatlvo of tho honor be stowed upon him by Mayor Lone, but be Is merely stating things as be sees them and' knows them. the appointment of Acting Chief Gritz- J macher Is only temporary, presumably. However, It Is believed by many, es pecially those who are friendly to the Acting Chief, that be is the ablest man for the position, and that bo will not be removed by Mayor Lane. Still others claim that a permanent appoint ment Is to be made shortly after the close of the Lewis and Clark Exposi tion, and that the man who gets the job will be a Democratic politician. When seen In his office and asked persistent!? how he liked the position of Chief, from what experience he has baJ, tho temporary head of the de partment declined to make any ex tended statement. "I fully appreciate the honor con ferred upon mo by Mayor Lane when be maJe me Acting Chief," replied Mr. Gritzmacher. " A captain has the pro tection of the civil service to back him up. while the Chief is without any particular protection, being removed from the civil service. Thero is double the salary In' being Chief, but a cap taincy Is less fraught with troubles and lasts longer.

The latter po sition for life, unless removal for cause occurs, while a Chief is at the mercy of politics and liable to be re moved at any time without & mo ment's warning. Tne Police Commissioners will meet tomorrow and it Is expected that they will name men for tho positions of jcaptaln of detectives, detective and several patrolmen. These are to fill vacancies. The great. point at Issue, also. Is whether or not tho commis sioners have the power. unJer the char ter, to appoint another captain of po lice. Some chUm they have, others that tbey have not. Unless a fourth captain Is authorized beyond question. Acting Chief Gritzmacher, it Is known, will not consent to an appointment to fill the vacancy occasioned by his pro motion, as he tiocs not want to lose his rank as captain and the protection of the civil service. Meantime a ceaseless fight is being waged by certain aspirants, who are determined that a Democrat shall bold the office of Chief of Police, and their activity does not Increase the pleasure 'that falls to the lot of AcUng Chief Gritzmacher.

CADETS ARE BOUND HOME Instead of Long Tramp Tills Tlmo Take Steamer. "With banners flying and drums beat ing, the 60 brave lads of the Congrega tional Cadet Corps, who walked from Eureka. Cal., to Portland, marched through the Exposition gates yesterday and turned their faces homeward. Th boys left the grounds about 6 o'clock. but last night they did not camp out along the roadside, but instead of start ing on a 510 miles journey overland they embarked on the Steamor Roan oke, which will carry them to Eureka.
