and centered upon Senator Mitchell, on
a mer technical, statutory offenser
"I think that I can anawar that with
out going outsld of th records in thi
case. Let us try to answer It from the
indictment Itself. The Indictment say
that Krlba waa engaged In th business
of procuring diver person to mak ap
plications to purchase timber land.. To
put, It In mor simple form, that they
wer to make fall affidavits that they
wer taking up these timber land them'
aelvea and paying for them, and when
they got ..title, they turned Ahem - over
to Krlba. What war theaa acts but
aubornatkm of perjury? That waa th
offene Krlbs committed. . They wer
the lands for which hs smployed thi
Arm of Mitchell Tanner to expedlts
patent When did bs commit ouborna
tion of perjury Every one of these
entrlea was made in th year lioo or in
the year 1(01. When did the grand
Jury first meet which took up theaa met
iers, whtcn resulted in th moictment
of these . 10 people. Including Senator
Mitchell T It was In December, ito.
At that time there waa not on ot these
subornations of perjury that Wa not
barred by tn statute of limitations.
Why didn't I Indict hlmT Because th
face of th indictment If I bad told th
facta, would hav shown that th in
dlctmatft wa veld. Krlba ha been ask
Ing himself thla same queatlon, and
until ha read - my argument In th
newspapers in th morning, if hs read
it he wlU not know that th atatut of
limitation had begun to apply at the
tlm he wa seeking to get me to tell
htm what I waa, going to do. H will
tell you that h got no promise what
ever that ha would not bo prosecuted, or
that civil suit' would not be brought
to get back from him the 10.000 aerea
of land he obtained by the fraudulent
means. I think, gentlemen Of tn jury,
that you can trust m to do my duty
tn th matter of getting back these

that-this man Krlba baa testified and

Mr. Heney devoted a abort tlm to
further elaboration of this point In an
swer to th defendant' attorneys, and
pok of th trip here of Stratford, The

"Had Mr. Krlba known It was possible
that he could jiot be prosecuted because
ot tha atatute of limitation; we would
not have got these Mitchell check from
him. Had Krthe known thl waa poast

"Wby waa not an Indictment, brought
agalnat Senator 'Mitchell for subornation
of perjury 'after Tanner confessed? Th
evidence show that th grand Jury ad
journed the day after th confession. It
met again for on week, and then It
expired by operation of law when tha
new . term of court commenced. In that
week many Indictment , wer returned,
and Inasmuch aa Senator Thurston has
asked, th question, I will say fhat there
war several -indictment .found - which
were, not returned,- and amongst them
an Indictment wa , found agalnat thl
bel leve, . t he, i defendant, but was not returned owing
answer to challengee, the district .Attor
ney proceeded to discussion of tb vi
denoe. taking such point a b thought
seemed to -establish beyond doubt - U
fact that Senator Mitchell bad knowledge
of receipt bf money frora th land cases
which he wa expediting before the de
partment at Washington. In 'this argu
ment b insisted that Krlb bad been
Introduced to Mitchell a Umber specu
lator,' that Tanner bad frequently written
of th eases taken for Krlba and had
confessed in these letter that they re
quired senatorial influence and Vadrolt
handling to prevent suspicion being
aroused in the ' department 'In this
analysis Mr. Heney reread tb letter
and telegrams Introduced in avldence,
showing that tb fact of payment of
considerable sums of money was com
municated, to Senator Mitchell immedi
ately before the monthly Clviaton of firm
receipt. . which . showed unusual am
Inga, waa made. . These thing, th at
torney held, showed that tha senator
knew beyond all possibility f doubt
whence th unusual dividend came, and
further, that the fees being charged
Kriba and the other land speculator
wer nearly entirely for ,th Influence
th senator would exert, rather than for
professional service to be performed by
Tanner or the Arm at home. " When
John A. BenoA earn from San Francisco
to Portland to employ the firm In behalf
of com of bis land cases, Benson, tb
man known far and wide aa a speculator

thought, should b mor patent .than

Judge Tanner atatementa on th wit
ness, stand that h did not understand
that he was getting a fee for Senator
Mitchell' service before the depart,
ment was ridiculed. Th district attor
ney produced the letter In- wbtoh Judg
Tanner wrote regarding th Sanson mat
ter. In which he urged th senator to
make Jt appear to th commissioner of
tha general land office that tha work
was for local ellenta, for Oregon people,
nd advised the senator to us great cau
tion. "And yt h aay that h did not
understand that Mitchell' services were
to be used." In thl earn connection
tha attorney noted - that , Tanner bad
never anneared before the denartmenta
at Washington, as th record prove.
but always It wa Senator Mitchell look
ing after that and. It wa said that no
lette bad ever been written by Judg
Tanner - In regard to any ot thla busi
ness. Mr. Heney concluded that thl
evidence alone proved conclusively tha
Senator Mitchell bad full knowledge -of
tha character of tha fee received, and
knew 6 when b took thm.-r-r--

But If there wa any doubt In. this
respect th district attorney aaid that
equally posttlve 'proof was' had In the
book of th firm. Whil handling thla
part of hi topic, he took occasion to
turn a point that had been made by the
defense to advantage. Taking tke total
for a few month, tha attomava for
Benator "Mitchell had argued that "the
firm . receipts for the period of four
year would, b about 30,ooo from all
outsld sources and 15,400 from th land
cases. . Mr. Heney took aom of th
month which had been admitted aa vl-
dene and read the Itema of the book
accounts. In this h noted that about
th first of each month there was a
payment 01 loe a( a rirm lary, from
whom not being indicated. Thl con
tinued until 110. and waa then Its a

that th aggregate of thla salary pay

received for land case would bring th
total, to about ltt.000. or vary cloe to
