This afternoon ths) ease was snbmlttel
to the nrj wlthoat farther , argnmeat.
In his opening argumnet to the Jury
In the federal court united States Die-
trlct Attorney Heney gave thle morn
ing what be termed m blrdseye view of
the conspiracy charged against Con
gressman J. N. Wlllameon, Dr. Van
Oesner and Marion R. Biggs. - , . '
He briefly outlined the nsture and
purpose of ths alleged conspiracy, snd
comprehensively reviewed the evldenoe
ln-whlch. the. government: relies xor con;,
vlotlon. Espeelsl emphasis was laid on
ths evidence which Is thought to Its
plicate Congressman - Williamson and
on the contradictions In the testimony
given by the defendants.
Mr. Heney ocottpieo. mue.mere than
an hour in hie opening presentation of
the case to the Jury, and ar the request
of defendants' "counsel court- wss ad
journed until S-o'clock, when H. B. Wil
son began his argument in behalf of
the defendants. He will be followed
by "Judge Bennett snd Mr. Heney will
then conclude. The. case cannot reach
the jury earlier than tomorrow morn
lag; it may be Thursday .before It Is
submitted. ' ,.. . , :ti':. :;-
Before the , arguments . began thle
morning two witnesses, were called by
the defense for the. purpose of . dis
proving the testimony of the prosecu
tion that the timber elatms Involved tn

B. T. Johnson, who -wss on the stand
yesterday, and who then testified that
there-- was .--very little -timber ; on the
Biggs elalnw ' v '" ' ''.'' v ' '-'r-Said
mines Were Vade Tears Ago.'
.: Judge Bennett asked whether be had
not stated - In conversation at : Prlhe
ville, only a 'few minutes after being
subpoenaed as-a witness, that the Biggs
claim was heavily timbered. Johnson
replied that he might have done so, for
at that time he was misinformed aa to
the exact location of the Blgge claim.
Subseauently he. visited the claim and
found that with the exception of - one
40-acre tract it had no Umber of value.
In anewer to queetlona by Judge Ben
nett the witness stated that he was In
Bices' office a number of times in the
summer of 1001 when timber filings were
made and heard BlggS question the en
trymenw -'" - v'-''
-'"What was his custom la the matter
of explaining to the entrymen that they
could not make any contract In advance
to eell the landr ; - --
VJ think he Invariably explained to
them that - they - could not. make such
contracts," said the witness, and hie an
swer was "allowed to go In. despite ths
objections of the prosecuting attorney.
On cross . examination Mr. - Heney
elicited the-fact that the witness had
met Dr. Oesner almost dally after
reaching Portland and during the pro
gress of the trial. " '
J. A. Schooling testified that, Charles
Graves. - county i aurveyor of .Crook
county,' had returned to Prlneville as
soon ss he hsd testified for the prosecu
tion. The spparent purpose of the tes
timony was to show that: the defense
had been unable to place Graves on the
stand. v ."v 1 v ' : ,
'v Trial Beaches Tlnal Stag.
Dr. Gesner wss then recaUed by Mr.
Heney and admitted that he had been
with Graves srmost dally while Graves
u here, but the witness .denied . that
he hsd had any private conversation
with him relative to the case. Thle
concluded the presentation of evldenoe
snd the trlsl entered en He final stage.
. An ujuuifl -- --- - "
explained to the jury that he did not
wish to assume better knowledge of the
evldenoe then wss hsd by members of
ths Jury, but he hsd studied It long and
carefully, and wlshed to present such
phssea ss Impressed him with greatest
conviction. With much fores he told
the Jury thst In our country national
character rested with . the eltlsena sum.
monsd for Jury duty, and that In this
respect cltlsenshlp was accountable for
prevalence of certain lines of erlme.
Williamson's knowledge of the alleged
conspiracy received greatest attention.
Along this line -the' aistnct ettorney
pointed out- thst - Williamson snd .his
wife made locations of Isnd almost st
ths same time thatrthe locations were
made by several persons st the instance
of Dr. Oesner. These wore not mere co
incidences, argued Mr. . Heney. but
owing to the faot that tho Arm of Ges
ner Williamson wss to profit by ths
locations in the protection of , their
rsnge, they must be conceded to have
acted with full knowledge on -the pert
of both partners as to the plan. , . ,.'
