"August Is always a better month

much greater. In August. . There Is no
reaaon I can think of why It ahould not
be. Portland haa a beautiful fair a
great show and the sesson, Is favorable
In every way to a greater buslnese In

The Denver A Rio Grande at tha be

' New evidence, regarded, by the proee- '
cutlon as of much importance, wlir' be -adduced
in the second trial of Congress-
man Williamson, Dr. Van Q saner aad
Marlon R. Blgga Jn his opening state--
ment : to Ihs-Jucnbia morning United
States District - Attorney Heney out
lined this evidence .which, in his opln- '
ion. bears directly on the connection ef .
Congressman Williamson with the al-,
Ieged conspiracy, v v .. . . . .
- Mr. Heney stated clearly and compre
hensively what the government expects
to prove in the present trial. He was
followed by-JudgeBennett -of counsel
tor the. defense, who earnestly Insisted .
on the Innocence of his clients and
sharply crlcitlsed the methods employed .
by .the prosecution.
It is ths theory or the prosecuting st-
torney that the conspiracy charged -against
ths three defendants Mras-. ef
fected about th middle of June.On the
first trial it waa shown that Williamson . ..
was in Prlnaville June 15. but there wss
no evidence as to the length of his stay. .
On th ' present trial ths government
promises to show thst he remained lii
Prinevllle for 10 days at th very time '
when Gesner, his partner., was consult- -lng
with Biggs aa to ths feasibility of
securing lands through timber entries,
and when tha plana wer bc-l OgCOlSUme-.
matedfor1oanlng" money to entrymen.
It is Insisted by Mr. Heney thst Wil
liamson's presence In Prinevllle at this
Hm. amrm n n Mwim Inv HAnht that tiM
was fully acquainted with the scheme
-on which -his partner had entered . ' "
; : .? Xeney's Statement. '"
- With a' thorough grasp of the eas
end wltb the knowledge gained from the -former
trial of the testimony "to bo ex
pected from each witness, Mr. Heney ref
lated to the jury what he expects to .
prove. He said that tha defendants
were charged with having entered into
a conspiracy by which they expected to '
indue a number of persona to make
filing on timber claims which were to
be turned over to Williamson and Ges
ner as soon Ss patented, the money to
prove up th claima being advanced by
ths firm. It waa not necessary to prove
that perjury, was committed In these
filing, although this would be Shown;
It was enough 10 prove tbat the defend'
ants and the entryjneo knew that the
aiiiaavu wnicn - iney must maae in
proving their claims were false. -- -
Ths government- would not attempt
to prove ths sctual time and place when
ths conspiracy wss formed, for that
would be Impossible, but it would show '
circumstances establishing beyond a rea-aonabie-
donbt that- the conspiracy' exist-"
ed. and that each of the defendanta did
something to aid in it i- ' .
"Tou can't - expect - that- theae men
whom the -defendants procured to file '
timber claima will come up here' and
flippantly acknowledgo that they per
jured themselves," said Heney." No.'
men likes to admit that Tou will see
that their testimony la given reluctant
ly and you will scan Jtcarfully Yet
some of them will admit that they com
mitted perjury, and that they had posi
tive contract with Gesner to aell their '
land to him aa soon aa thw nt Mtot.
On of theae Is Ernest Starr, a young' '
man who was then and Is still In their
employ, a nephew of the i defendant. '
Williamson. And wo shall show the '
same thing by other witnesses also."
Ae to the new evidence against WU .
llamaon. the district attorney said:- '
"We expect to prove that On, the first"
trial Williamson could not recollect be- '
in in Prinevllle between -April 1901. ,

him the hotel register of June IS withu
hie name in It he could not remember,
being there at that time. - Ws shall
point out to you why hs could not re "
member. We shall show by th artmti- '
slons of Biggs that Gesner came; to eon-.- v
suit Biggs aWoot this busineas some
week before the f Hinge were made.

Williamson reached Prinevllle. . And t
think we shall show that he came to - '
Prinevllle for the very purpose of mak -lng
thle arrangement Williamson re.
