4 , THE SUNDAY OREGOyiAX, FORTLAXD, MARCH 7, 190H. HILL HOUNDED BY SUBPENA SERVER Spokane Prosecutor Will Ban ish Railroad President From State. GRAND JURY AWAITS HIM Great Northern Official Said to Have Rvldence Detrimental to Principals in Root-Gordon Scandal in Washington. SPOKANE. Wash., March 6. (Special.) " Prosecutincr Attorney Fred C. Pua-li. of Spokane County, writes the following under his signature: VI cannot compel the attendance of President Louis W. Hill and other nont resident Great Northern officials before the grand Jury which will convene Mon day to Investigate the Root-Gordon scandal, because our courts cannot en force obedience to subpenas served out-, side the borders of Washington; but I can prevent their visiting the state for the remainder of the year, unless they coma and go secretly, like fugitives. ' There Is nothing In the law to prevent the grand Jury from remaining In ses sion for the next year, and having their eubpenaa constancy in the hands of the offlcers, unless the Great Northern offi cials come In sooner and give us the facts relative to Gordon's alleged short age, reputed to amount to $75,000, and . their rumored connection with Root. "This could be done with comparatively little expense and at a very slight incon venience to the Individual grand Jurors by adjourning from time to time, after they have carried their investigations as far as available evidence will permit, and merely holding one or two sessions a month for the purpose of renewing their subpenas. . Prosecutor Serves Notice. "I desire to serve notice upon the wreai morxnern ottlclals now that what ever influence I may have as Prosecuting Attorney will be exerted to keep the grand jury in session. In the manner In dicated, continuously, until such time as President Hill sees fit to redeem his promise, made to the committee of the Bar Asosciation In Seattle last December, and aid the people of Washington In their determination to learn the facts underlying the scandal which affects the integrity of a former member of the Supreme Court of this state. This prom ise, made again and again by Mr. Hill In the courts of his testimony, a part of which The Oregonlan recently pub lished, was flippantly broken in St. Paul recently. Mr. Hill may rest secure in the belief that he has It in his power to suspend the criminal processes of this tate and to Ignore the subpenas of The grand jury, but I am very sure it is In our power to banish him and several of his associates from the state so long as their policy is to stifle the facts of this investigation. Evldenre Snlrl f Tt u ..... t . "The papers requested of Hill and as sociates at - St. Paul by ex-Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Webster were not of -such -a private or confidential nature as to- prejudice the Great Xorthern if made public, and the request was made in good faith to enable the grand Jury to pa?s upon the evidence tending to show that Gordon was guilty of em bezzling $9200 of the company's money, drawn by him to settle the ca3e of Spar row vs. the Great Northern. Mr. Hill a!.o declined to explain the reasons for his refusal. According to rumors em anating from some of Gordon's numer ous counsel, and current in Spokane for the last four or five months, his attor neys have in their possession written evidence of Judge Root's corruption; and according to these same rumors, em anating from the same source, Gordon has - threatened to show that the Great Northern was the real bribe giver. In stead of himself, whenever his own 11b erty ls Jeopardized by prosecution for his alleged shortage." ACCIDENT STARTS ROMANCE Sacramento Society Matron Marries Her Chauffeur. . SACRAMENTO.
