was convicted, and that the signature
of his father as alleged to have been
forged by him and purtly Identified by
City Auditor Devlin at the trial of It
M. Rlner .was the work of ,a '"tracer,"
are the' -three points. of defense set. up
by Attorney Edward Mendenhall in nls
opening argument before the Jury lmr
paneled to try E. W. Kiner ror ootain
Ing 'jinoney under false pretenses from
the city this morning.
-,-The case Is being tried before Circuit
Judge Rears, to whom It was unexpect
edly aaslatied. The Jury had been Im
paneled before Judge George,' but the
defense objected to a trial before him
on the ground that he was an owner
of property In the Tanner creek sewer
district. Presiding' Judge Fraser, who
heard the objection, decided that the
fact that Judge George owned property
In the district did not disqualify him
from sitting as Judge but it would dis
qualify i. Juror from serving. At the
same time, he said. Judge George did
not wish to try theirase, and had asked
that another India be selected. Judse
I forge -triad the case against- R. M
Rlner, but before a! Juror was examined
1 he joij the attorneys that he was an
Intereated property owner. .The- attor
neys made no objection.
In objecting to his officiating at the
trial of E. W. Rlijer, the defense. It Is
understood, wished to ascertain the -p
altlon another Judge would . tak on
questions asked by the defense and of
exceptions made. These matters may
be made a part of a motion fot a new
trial In the. event of the conviction of
B. W. Rlnerv - , -
For the state Assistant District At
torney Moser argued that he cbuld"p"rove
that E. W. Rlner wss the partner of his
father in the construction of tneTanner
creek sewer. He received S per cent
of the grqss partnership receipts and
this, Mr. Moser contended, showed that
he was an actual partner.. Mr. Menden
hall asserted on the contrary, that E.-W.
Rlner had. received no such part of the
receipts; that alt. the receipts .had been
absorbed by the Oregon 8avlngs bank.
and the only crime Rlner could be-ac
cused of waa forgery committed in
signing his father's name to a cer
tiflrate Tif screptanrenf the sewer, and
that could not be proved.
The only witness examined In the
morning was City Auditor Devlin.. He
gave practically the asm evlde
he gave In the' trial of R. M. Rlner, ex- -ceptlnr
that' he was not sure that the
certificate of acceptance purporting to j
have been sighed by H. M. Rlner was in
the handwriting of E. w. Rlner. - Men
denhall objected to testimony on this
noint When salted U he Jxad previous
ly Identified it as young Rlner' hand
writing, Mendenhall offered another ob
jection. ,-. - - !
"That signature-was preaemea to you
at the-other-trial by-Mr.-Moserrwa It
notT' hs asked the witness.
'Rather by . Mr. Mendenhall,". re
torted Moser. '. '
Devlin was not surs -whdiJhowed the
signature to him and .Mendenhall ob

POSTPONEMENT DENIED
Incidentally Lawyer Is Told That
If He Can't Find Time An
other Attorney Will.
'This case must be tried at once. It
has been tried n th Juvenile court and
It has been shown that this man Grohs
has been selling beer In .cans to-boys
and girls and that the children have
been drinking It In boxcars."
So said Presiding Judge rarer or. me
stats circuit court ' this morning when
Attorney Edward Mendenhall asked for
a continuance of the case against An
ton Grohs for ths term. Grohs is a
saloon-keeper near the-old narrow-gauge
depot at the foot of Jerrerson street,
and he had been indicted for selling
liquor to minors. - n " 4
"WelL" said Mr. Mendenhall. "If that
case must be tried this term the defend
ant must get another attorney. - I have
a motion for a continuance in the caae
against W. H. Wilson, indicted ror as
sault, to argue Wednesday. .The case
really belongs to my brother, who' has
been 111 aeveral -weelfsVTwo- of -ths
witnesses are out of the state, and I
cannot have them hero this term."
"Thli case must bs tried this term.
replied Judge Fraser.- "The court has
granted you a number of continuances
more than it has granted to any other
lawyer.. You must make some provis
ion for your business or the court will
never be able td get along."
"If the court -does not grant this
continuance, said Mr. Mendenhall,, I
shall have to withdraw from ths case.
Other-cases I must try this termwill
prevent me from attending to this case.
Judge Fraser set tne inai ior aune
10, and It will be tried en that data with
Mr. Mendenhall as attorney for .Grohs
If the Wllkon caae should go over. . It
Is undsrstood that Mendenhall's re
quest for a continuance Is due to the
fact that the criminal calendar shows
him to have two cases to one by other
attorney, and the t,rlM of, the majority
of his cases, which Includs.the Tanner
creek sewer fraud matters, will take
tw days or more. The cae against
l.Vjrl Caywood, Indicted In - corfneotlbn

trial why he delivered the confidential
letter to the government officials, and
how he did other things connected with
this sensational feature, of the inquiry
conducted hers last spring, v Me- saia
frankly that he had rtot taken the letter
to judge Tanner at first because he did
not want to be Importuned to commit
perjury 'and ;was afraid he-could not ra
slat the entreaty bs felt aure would be
made at that time. He also stated that
he did riot deliver th letter to District

Ei-Senator Thurston led u to the
vital points by continuing his Inquiries
regarding the length of time that Sena
tor Mitchell had spent in Portland in
10S and 1904. and the opportunities he
enjoyed during these periods for looking
-aver the firm's books. The witness tes
tified positively that the senator called
for the books in 1I0S and studied them.
The questions of ths attorneys for ths
defense In thjs proceeding were to es
tablish that th ssnator was exceed
ingly busy during these days, and had
little time for company business. The
witness testified positively that during
