IN COURT FOR CONTEMPT Ictectlve Employed by Defense Re fuses to Answer Questions Put to Him in Grand Jury Room. Prosecution Has Busy Time. MOSCOW. Idaho. May M.-fSpeclal.) Charles F. Estes, who counsel for defense admitted in court today had been em ployed by the defense as detective In tha land-fraud cases, was brought before Jud?e Dietrich on contempt of court pro ceedings growlnsr out of the witness refus ing to. answer certain questions pyt to him by Assistant United States District At torney .Miles S. Johnson and J. A. Gos tt. foreman of tha Brand 1urv. In the arand jury room, the interrogations car- i.vina; tne Inference he had been employed hy the defense to "see" Jurors and wit nesses. It was stated In open court that Tne grand Jury had reason to believa that the alleged crime of obstructing Justice nun neen or IS In process of beinz com mlrted. and that it was while jurors were Trying to get at the facts that Estes re fused to answer certain questions put to him as follows: "Who employed you to follow Deputy T'nited States Marshal Schattner, while ne was out serving jurors?" "I must say I decline to answer this." . "What have you been employed for in connection with court matters in Mos cow?" "I decline to answer that question." "Have ou not been employed for the purpose of seeing Jurors and witnesses In attendance on the United States Court at Moscow?" "I believe that I decline to answer this." "Have you been employed In connection with the trials now pending wherein Kettenhach. Kester and Dwyer were rharged with conspiracy to defraud the I'nlted States Government, and are to be tried in the United States Court?" Defense Would Make Answer. "I cannot answer that question; I re fuse to." The prosecution asked for a general or der compelling the witness to answer the questions. The defense said it would answer the questions mentioned above, If that was all the prosecution wanted, by stating that Kstes was in its employ, add ing that probably he refused to answer the questions on the .ground that he dfd hot feel called upon to tell the grand Jury what he had ascertained for those who employed him, also that the man did not-want to Incriminate himself. Attorney Johnson said in substance that if Estes did not want to answer because he is afraid to incriminate himself, it was evident that he had either done something unlawful, or was- shielding those who had. Attor ney Johnson said he did not care a rap what Estes had ascertained for and Imparted to counsel for the de fense. All he was after was to ascer tain what Estes had been instructed to do, and whether he had followed his in structions, adding in substance: "This witness is one of several per sons who can be accused of blocking1 Justice, and he is not the only one, either, in the city for that purpose. We know who they are, what they are doing and who employed them. We propose to put a stop to their tactics, and we will do it, for wo know just what their intent and purpose is. Estes Is a mere incident: we are not neces sarily after him, but after those whose tool he is." After considerable cross-firing, the court said in substance that he would Issue an order Monday directing Kstes to answer all proper questions put to him. Slow Progress With Jury. Not much progress was made this afternoon in the selection of a jury to try Kcttenbach, Kester and Dwyer for conspiracy, owing to an exceptionally fine point of law coming up in the mat ter of the qualification of James Tur ner of Kendrick, who took the seat vacated by W. 1-1. Gage of Boise, ex cused because he had formed an Im pression. November 24, 1904, Turner was indicted by a grand jury for tak ing liquor upon the Nea Perce Indian reservation. He pleaded gruilty, al though he declared he was innocent. Judso Beatty suspended sentence, and at the next term of court the case was dismissed upon the recommendation of the District Attorney. After Turner declared he was competent to act as a juror In this case, the defense accepted him, and the prosecution challenged him on the ground that he had been convicted of a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, raising the question, "Does the record of the court ahow conviction on an offense which, under the statutes, would disqualify the juror from service from being within the scope of the law which intends that one ;nullty of moral turpitude shall not qualify for jury duty? Judge Dietrich took the matter under advisement until Monday. M ILL LAV CORNERSTOXE TODAY Programme- or Exercises to Bo Held In Oregon City. , OREGON CITY. Or.. May 18.

I Galea, Falls City; W. TRUST Read about the Federal Grand Jury's investigation of the Furni ture Trust, if there is any doubt in your mind of its existence. In Suuday's Journal the President of the retail branch of the "Trust" copied our method of advertising "Trust" prices to deceive the pub lic. Honesty is the best policy after all, and there will be others besides Abe Ruef ready to cry "Guilty" and throw themselves upon the mercy of the court. The Independent Furniture Co. will rid the people of Portland of this grasping monopoly that is now being brought to Justice by our Government. The Independent Furniture Co. is NOT a member of the Furniture Dealers' Association, and therefore sells Rugs, Furniture and Housefurnishings, etc., at much lower prices than any of the "Trust" stores. Why should you pay more for exactly the same articles when you tan get them from us at a considerable saving of money 1 Below are only a few of our regular prices, and are not special prices.
