'thta morning in th trial of Comtw

R. Biggs, In tb federal court. . ..
. - Both testified in the former trials, and
.though placed oa the stand by the prose
cution It has been plainly apparent that
their sjrnipathles were strongly enlisted
for the defense. District Attorney Heney
. questioned them etoselyto Iear whether
any effort had been made by the defense
"to 4nflaenoa their statement from the
witness stand, but denied that there iiad
.been anything- of the sort.-' j
A letter-written by Dt.1 Van Geaner
and which was a feature of the former
trials was Introduced this morning. It
was addressed to Henry Beard, aa en
tryman- who took up claims at tha In
Unca of tha defendants, and In It tw.
- Gesner directed him to- relinquish his
claim aa there was dancer that other
wise they might "aat into trouble.")
"They are liable to call us before tha
'yrand Jury aa witnesses,", wrote Geaner.
; The only thing- to do is to relinquish."
. H instructed Beard to go before
Sires at once, and execute tha necessary
papers. The letter was written? after
the Investigation of timber entries In
Crook county had begun and at tha tint
-when Special Agent Neuhausen had been
ordered to Prineville , to, look into the
alleged .fraud. i-.'.''-.', ' '--- -;

Beard waa not the only entrymon to
whom (leaner wrote In this way and the
lettere are regarded by tha prosecution
-a Imoprtant links In the chain of evl-
! dence against the defendants. r ..
" The first witness called this "morning
waa Christian Feuerhelm, who had taken
up a timber claim In the summer of
. 1001, but when questioned regarding his
understanding as to. selling. the claim. to
Williamson and Gesner his recollection
proved exceedingly ' hasy. ' Like- Henry
Beard, h received a ' letter ' from , Dr.
Geaner saying, "That timber 'claim 'and
all tha rest, I have got' to throw them
up, and Geaner Instructed Feuerhelm
to go before. Biggs and relinquish In
order to "avoid troubla" from the gov.
mment ; The witness professed to .be
unable to remember many important de
tails. He waa cross-examined at great
length by Judge Bennett, but without
-material result. -" -v....
'- Miss Glaae, the next witness, testified
that on -day In J una, ltOl, she and
Mia Vanderpool met Biggs on . the

'them about taking up timber claims, v
,. "I understood that It was for Wil

the matter over and - made an effort

they file, tha young women finally gave

the latter -said to her op one occaaton
that "she didn't have to remember", the
