Against Mrs, Chadwlck, now the wife of pne of the greatest physicians of the country, Is made the charge that she secured a loan of 3190,000 on a batch of securities she alleged to be tempor artly tied up in litigation.

CAPTAIN ORNSBY ARRAIGNtD Salem Man Alleged by Prosecutor Heney to Be Conspirator and Rightfully Indicted With Other Defendants. 8QUEEZED BY HARRIMAN.

Harrlman has blocked the announced purpose of the Sumpter Valley railroad to build Into Pralcle City and it la known here that It will now be Impossible for that road to extend its lines until Mr. Harrl man Is ready and willing for the move. Portland, Nov. 28. The scathing arraignment of Captain S. B. Ormsby of Salem, formerly forest superintend ent, accused by Special Prosecutor Francis J. Heney of being a conspira tor against the government and a perj urer, and who of right had been In dicted with the rest of the defendant in the present trial, was about the only new thing sprung by the prose cution ln the trial today, unless it was the testimony of another witness, re- garding the relations of S. A. D. Puter and Mrs. Emma L. Watson, who re counted the story of their arrest in Chicago, where, the witness stated, they lived in the relation of man and wife and passed as Mr. and Mrs. Pot ter. . The prosecution is quietly, steadily and remorselessly weaving a chain of The object in preventing extension of the Sumpter Valley line Is to keep 1U evidence around the defendants which, territory and Important curtailed andru seems confident. Trill result In the final conviction of the prisoners at the bar. Point after point of objection and to avoid the possibility of it develop-j Ing into a road that might at some futuer date make trouble for the Harrl man interests. The method adopted by the Harrl man officials in dealing with the Sump ter Valley' was simple and effective. Though there was not the least en couragement offered from Harrlman, It was announced some time ago that the Sumpter Valley would extend, tap ping rich country and rendering settle ment possible and mining districts productive. Grading was done and steel rails were ordered.' Then came the trouble. The Harrlman roads, over which the steel for the Sumpter Valley tracks must come, refused to make special rate for the material, and the Sumpter Valley faced the necessity of paying full freight charges, enough to serious ly cripple, financially, a much larger corporation. Thus the matter stands. A portion of the grading haa been done and the Sumpter Valley management has announced that It will build. But Mr. Harrlman ha said, qultely and to himself, that the road would not extend. There la possibility that the high-rate difficulty may be overcome, but this does not seem probable.

Piece by piece the testimony is' being piled up with many more wit nesses to come. A new phase of the case was the introduction of the name of George A. Howe, to whom had been deeded seven alleged bogus homesteads. Other evi dence was introduced to show that Howe ln turn had deeded a tract in the contested section to McKlnley. The district attorney stated that he would prove that the .name Howe was ficticious, and really was one of the conspirator under another name. The government further assert It . will prove that the object of the alleged con spirator waa not to secure land, but merely to gain scrip rights. The prosecution. In order to further prlve the alleged Intimacy of Puter and Mrs. Watson, Introduced the keeper of the hotel ln which Mrs. Watson was ar rested in Chicago. Ella Wyman, the hotel keeper, testi fied that she knew Puter and Mrs. Wat son. She stated that they came to the hotel March 30 last and asked for room. "I asked them for references, but they said they had Just reached the city and couldn't give any. They gave the names of Mr. and Mrs. Potter," said the woman. "What else?" asked Mr. Heney, as the witness paused. "Potter gave me a 3100 bill," con- tlnued Miss Wyman, "and I asked for a lesser amount have gave It to me.
