Mitchell's Berrtoefc 'I do say that the Interests of the state of Oregon are Involved In this esse. Resides all of that, gentlemen, besides all that, the Interests , and the liberty of an old man. who has lived among you for almost 60 years,- and ..who has won, for himself and for you. honor, not only la the state of Oregon, but In the public halls of the .nation his hoopr. as wen aa his liberty, snd his honor Is more priceless that) his liberty, are on trial before you. Therefore, I agree 'gentle men, that there never hiss been and nevet will be t cut In Oregon- of t more Inv postanoe than" fK one you , are called upon to try. f... . 'Now. aentlemen. having sain mis mnch in a creUminars- way. I pass to more careful, consideration or tne lacia In this case, and. in the first plsce. it is well agrees, at the outset as to what we are trying. That.ls of the most Impor tance. : The learned gentleman- has talked to you for Ave hours, talked to ?ou about everything., and I believe thef Is riot one of you after hearing his talk for five hours who knows what we are trying In this rase, by considering what the learned gentleman has said, He spoke of tBe Benson esse, hut that Is not In this trial. He referred to the Burke matter, but that Is not on trial inhere. The learned-gentleman devotod himself for more than an hour. to. the question cf whether or not - Senator Mitchell was responsible for the change of this contract,, and you might well think from the length of time devoted to this question that this act at least .was one of the1 questions upon which the defendsnt is on trial; but no. he Is not on trial for that. Then you might say, 'Wet, come down to the Krlbs matter, that he is on trial, perhaps, for receiv ing money from Krlbs; for receiving fees from him amounting to 13,200 in four years- for work la relation to land matters." No, gentlemen, he Is not on trial for that; that has not been the of fense. If it he an offense at all it Is not the offense charged ia this Indictment The Offense Charged. "The offense . charged In this indict mentand I want you to fasten this in your minds, gentlemen, end to keep It with you as ws go along through, this eaae all-or the time the deed charged, and. for which he Is on trial, is that at the time stated In the Indictment the Kribs money wan received by the .de fendant; thst his - checks were re ceived by. tUo defendant for serv-. ices . rendered in - appearing before and '- - persuading ' Blnget - Hermann to do s certain things. Now, this gentlemen, la the charge of the indict ment The crime charged In this matter Is not for Tanner taking money for ap pearing before the land departments in PregOlW getting - up Uiesy- abstracts, 1 papers,' Driers, titles, affidavits, etc. None -of these things Is unlawful: cer tainly one of them is charged in this in dictment The question before you is whether or not ; the government has proved beyond .a reasonable doubt t.at this money was. taken for work that was done by Senator Mitchell before Blnger Hermann, ' in Washington, and that he knew it was for that ':-.' 'How little of the argument addressed to you by Mr. Heney, attorney for the government has' been devoted to this Diiestlea, Not- a word haa been de voted no' showing you that the money that Tanner took from Krlbs was for work done by the defendant before Bin-gar-Hermann In -rersuadjng him to -do certain things. " Gentleman, - I take it that you could see -the reason why this real issue has-been covered up In five hours of talk on collateral matters, such aa the Robertson matter and In rela tion to the change of too oontraet and in relation to Tanner's perjury, all of which are entirely collateral to. the case, because he knew that'' I shall show ' yott presently, geatlemerr, that the only witness in relation to this, mat te"r. Judge Tanner, come upon the stand and swore tftat the money was not re- eelved M what the defindant did ZiV. having been governor-general Washington., but that It was received a retaining fee .for the work he was doing out here In Oregon. When their own witness came niton the stand -and testified to that fact, the case was at an end. . . - "-""' OaajilB(rLj.--.oatratcs Judge Bennett then took up discus sion of the evidence with more detail. He spoke of the-orJinal contract, which gave to Mitchell the .larger per cent, of fees, and which was entered into at a time when he was not senator,' . At the time of hi election In 101 It became necessary to alter this contract so ss to give Tanner, who would do roost all the work, half,' and in altering it the attorney seemed to think that ft would be -quite -natural for- both the partners to overlook the pulat-bout Mitchell's practicing before the departments at Washington, as the point that they had in their minds to change was the di vision. Further' in this connection . the attorney argued that construction of this technical requirement of the law, as all abstruse laws, was open, to a margin of variation. ' j - - When Judaea bf the aunrems court divided on points of law, how coujdjtte Jury be expected to convict a man If for m time he had been erroneous in his interpretation of this requirement on some portts of which, the district attor ney and the presidinvjudge had dif fered during the course of the trial T The speaker also brought out with force the fact that the charges made to, Kribs were. In his mind, reasonable attorneys' fee for the class of work that Tanner was doing. Many other aspecta of the case were also dwelt upon with detail. . V . The-Piekwiok Case. A little humor was-Injected Into the Case,' the first that, brought a broad, general smile, when Judge Bennett read from the Pickwick cases tff-whlch Bar. dell had brought an action against Pick- WICK., in this the Insenlous barrister took -the most innocent-appearing let ters, and taisted them so that the Jury rrnuerrq a veruici against tne -defendant. Judge Bennett adapted them to the present case, with ithe parting Injunc tion that Mr. Heney must have read tip exhaustively on all such sophistry, ss he hi.d seemed to be a past master in the art in the Mitchell rnse. During this style 4S argument. Judge Bennett -frequently ..spoke of Mr. Ueney's -statements es emanations of "Jaundlqed lm. glnatlon," and referred" to some of the theories of the government ss possible only-to man with a "dlsea-afVl mind," or with some otie who "Ifad-it n" for the defendant, and had srt out to onvlct him by. gathering anything and eevery thing thsK would cast 'a shadow of sus picion on hlro. . Judge Bennett turned on jjleney with much emotion and said: "That was a mean attempt to rrente a prejudice "In., this esse. . I ssy.,-shsm on you.' Mrr Heney," You cannot cry. he-- cause that would detract rrom your man. hood, but if you have a bit of warm, human blood In your veins, let the flush of shame come' to your cheeks." At this stage the -court rspped for ordsr and said' to the attorney that such a style of argument would -not be permitted in the oase The speaker continued along a slightly different line. with the wonts: . Thst you should have taken an ad vantaa-e. vou' who are young and strong, In . the prime' of life nd on the top of the wave of prosperity, tsks sucn an advantage of an old maivdown in the louse. , of' desDondenoy. battling the battle of his life for his sacred honor.' Oettlng down ta discussion of Judge Tanner, ths attonfey ssld: As to Judge Tanner, "In the first place Judge Tanner wss very much Interested, naturally, in llevlng from his own shoulders as far as wss possible, .the opprobrium of thst offense (referring to the change or tne contract and suggestions' or perjury. And he was also Interested in the next place, because somewhere along tne line, he was to earn hit liberty and his nardon. - He wss going to satisfy Mr. Henev. Mr. Heney held him- and still holds htm, in the hollow of thevpalra of his hand. I am hot going to criticise Judsa Tenner severely. He Is like a rat in a tran." The aDeaker told a . story of catching beavers, and that they would gnaw off a limb if they were not caught, so they would drown when trapped. "This has tauaht me." said the at torney, "the desperation of all animaia when trapped, including man. Tanner is rat in a trap. I do not know wno is most to- blame for, the change or tne contract; you do not' know. And you will never know who la most to-btame in relation to this matter. It was Mitchell who suggested the. change. It may be true, " J9ut according to his own atory, he is the- one who suggested the perjury In relation to It. When Judge Tanner comes here and says that tie deliberate 1)F made, up his mind because Senator Mitchell wanted him to, because Senator Mitchell asked him to, that he dellber ately made up his mind to commit per Jury, and he -then went ; and -dragged his boy into it and had his son draw up a new contract Intending, to make- him comm.lt perjury, unnecessary perjury, ben he says that he had perjury in hie mind when hs went to that boy, I cannot believe,' will noj; believe, that Tanner tells you the fact! aa they were. cannot believe that any man for -such a small cause,, would drag his boy into a matter of this kind." The speaker referned to the eaae with which' the -matter-could -have been ac complished- otherwise, suggesting, that if the contract was deemed necessary to be changed. It could have been done elsewhere,by'-hos hot knowing any thing about the case, and the facts would ne'ver have developed. Judge Tanner was dismissed wihi.thia sen tence: " - '"" : .. "When you come to go Into the Jury- room to consider and make up your minds, remember that the only proof of this perjury Is from" the mouth of Tan ner. While I do not .want, to say one word In relation to him, yet I submit to you whether it is not true the world over that a man who will, swear to what is false .and cause bis son ilo iwwr falsely, won't that same man swear falsely ' again to save himself, and his on,, who la Infinitely dearer and nearer ast. him than any pardon could.be."- Comparatlyely mtle time, was given to Harry C Robertson. - He was spoken of -as' the senator's secretary,' whom the latter had clothed and fed, eind raised from the lowly position of a-youth. The attorney- aaid that the. truth should come first, -even between friends; but that gratitude was a virtue, and that Robertson had gone on the stand with hundred knives and that-he hunted for a hundred, places wbfrre ae cuuid use Lbsnj on the senatorshowlng that he was actuated by malice and was do ing all that he could to destroy his, friend and employer.. .Many- instanvta of Robertson's .connection with the case were cited and many inferences drawn.

Altogether the prosecuting attorney had consumed five hours In his aaaress 10 ins jury. For the most Dart he devoted himself to a close review- of the testimony that had been given.ijsut from time to time he turned loose a torrent of merciless de nunciation of the defendant h "The great Uord CIlve," said Heney JU one of these bursts of Invective, when he was being prosecuted in Kng- or India, and having been the conquering hero tf" the' wars there, upon investlga ttofiBt. for having' taken money that ' he ought notio "have taken, when he re furnedTto KiglandrafterTiavfng por trayed to -,Xha . committee the .oppor tunities that he had the bankers who rirerftWltngwaTTni"TeeTwhen he capi tured one or tne cities wouna up oy saying: -By God, Mr. Chairman, aa I contemplate the , opportunities - that I had.

I gotuiothlng but a few small checks, after all.'" .-- During the closing hour of his argument the district attorney devoted himself to-an analysis of the letter which Mitchell sent to Tanner by Harry Robertson. -Sentence by sentence he laid It before the Jury, illustrating- what he asserted was the writer s-real mean log. He dwelt with scorn on the utter selfishness of the man .who could de mand of his friend the terrible sacrifice which Mitchell exacted frvont Tsnner, and declared that this letter alone was enough to prove . Mitchell's guilt Al though It wss but o'clock when Heney concluded his sddress to the Jury court wss adjourned-! until this moaning In erder that defendant's counsel mtxht not be interrupted by an over-njght adjournment.- ''-.,?' a ..- . . at - DISHWASHER FALLS HEIR - TO BRAZILIAN FORTUNE (Rpecisl Dlnpstch to Th Jirntl.)
