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.

Joumment was vtakan.
-Xikeas KltoheU fi CQJsns,
Mr. Heney-s terrible arrhlgnment of
Senator Mitchell was concludeQ at s
o'clock yesterday afternoon. 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

saying: -By God, Mr. Chairman, aa I

had. I marvel at my own moderation.'

charged with having taken these checks,
ss Jarge In proportion to. his oppor
tunities, almost says to your teeth, 'By
Ood, gentlemen Of the- Jury, as I re
flect upon the opportunities I had te
take larger amounts, I marvel at my
own moderation. 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

be interrupted by an over-njght adjournment.-
