" 'V'llpr; j I "I'd i tl ). r THE DAILY COOS BAY TIMES, MARSHFIELD, OREGON, SATURDAY, AUGUST 24, 1967. r. 1 1 f BENSON ID PERRIN GUILTY Federal Court Convicts Land Grafters of Obtaining 12, ' OOO Acres Fraudulently JURY IS OUT HALF AN HOUR Penalty Fine and Imprisonment.' Sentences Will lie Passed Today by Do Haven. San Francisco, Aug. 21. John A. Benson and Dr. Edward B. Perrln wore today convicted of conspiracy to defradd the United States govern ment in securing 12,000 acres of land In Tehama county. The verdict, which means a fine and term of imprisonment, was re turned by a jury in the United States District Court after being out about an hour. Only two ballots were re quired before the jury arrived at a decision to find the aged defendants guilty. Retain Liberty on Bail. Benson and Dr. Perrin were allow ed to retain their liberty on bail. Judge De Haven set Thursday as a day for passing sentence. J. C. Campbell made the closing argument -for tho defense at the morning session, and in the after noon United States District Attorney Devlin closed for the prosecution, summing up the case in a forcible manner. In his charge Judge De Haven instructed the jurors that if they found from the evidence that Dr. Perrln had at any time subse quent to October 31, 1903, taken ad vantage of the contract witli Benson, he should be found guilty as charged. After tho jury had been out half and hour they filed back into court and asked for a reading of letter." Perrin wrote from Washington, Snell's reply and that part of the charge relating to Dr. Perrln's lia bility in connection with the Benson contract. A verdict was returned within ten minutes after the rcquefat of tho jury had been granted. Hard Hit by Verdict. Dr. Perrln took the verdict very hard and was comforted by his two sons. Benson appeared to be dumb founded at tho result. Tho punishment provided by tho statute is a fine of not less than $1000 nor moro than $10,000 and imprisonment for not less than, two years. EASTERN OREGON WHEAT IS DAMAGED Umatilla Growers Say Grain Suffered From Knin More Than Was Anticipated. Pendleton, Aug. 21. That Uma tilla county's Immense wheat crop, which is less than half harvested, sustained more damage as a result of last week's rain than was at first suspected became manifest yesterday when tho work of harvesting was le sumed. It was found that tho berry had been bleached and that it is test ing about two pounds loss than be fore the rain. Wheat from the same Held was testing 02 beforo the rain is now testing GO. Fortunately for the growers of the county, tho grnin this year was ex ceptionally heavy, and it Is not thought that the growers will re ceive any lower price because of tho , wetting which it received. Of 70 samples received by ono buyer only two tested below CO and as 5S Is the standard for first grade It will bo seen that practically the entire crop of tho county will stand the falling off of two pounds nnd still mako the test. Tho samples received by this buyer corresponded with thoso re ceived by every other buyer in tho city. It has also beon found that the Athena and Weston mountain sec tions are not tho only ones who have suffored losses by reason of "falling straw." Throughout a largo part of tho reservation, and in fact every part of tho county whoro tho wheat was particularly tall, tho heads hayo proved too heavy for tho straw when softened by tho rain and havo start ed toward tho ground. Whllo tho loss on this account will not bo considorablo, probably not more thnn 11 vo bushols an acre in any instanco, yet a few bushels to tho aero, with wheat tho price- it Is now, will bo grudged by tho growers. Harvesting is now being carried on under some difficulties, as tho grain Is not thoroughly dried out yet nnd Is very tough to throsh. Tho chaff clings to tho berry and If enough wind is put on to blow It out tho graiu Is carried over.
