STORY OF FRAUD i j (Continued from Fage One.) ' lands. - This waa only a little -more than a year ago and the statute of 11ml. tationa had run aa far as conspiracy and perjury wera concerned, i Numerous witnesses wera called from Foaall and several of them have recently testified that Hendricks asked them to commit perjury, telling them to swear that they took up tha. land for 'themaelvea and furnished their own money for final proof. At least two of those witnesses committed perjury, then changed their atorlea and implicated Hendricks. These two were George W. Hawk and Clyde Brown and thelrlrsttmony resulted In I tneTnaictment of Hendricks for subor nation of perjury. Then tha . govern' ment began to do thlnga in Wheeler I county. No ..man- has a right to fence 'In government land. Tha fences were removed and the pasture land monopoly : of the Butte creek tompany was at an 'and. Xeadrloka stow om Trial. . Now Hendricks is facing a Jury. When tha trial began Judge Bennett, attorney . for the defendant, asked that the gov ernment be compelled to elect whether -- it would press tha charge baaed on the perjury of Hawk or tha one resting on tthe perjury of Clyde Brown. The mo tion waa denied af that time, but this ' morning Special Assistant Attorney ' Genera) Francis J. Hensy surprised the defense by announcing that the govern - -: ment would to to the jury on the Hawk case. Thla case waa chosen because the g""d J...... -i I utraa Tfki..w. ' had a dear recollection of . Hawk and - . little or no remembrance of Brown. . - Numerous members of the grand Jury ; , referred to were called aa witnesses. -Those who testified this morning were: ' ' W. H. Wade, foreman; John W. Jory, Foater Adams, Fred G. Buffum. W. P. , putton. F. J. Bolter and V. W. Robnett All recalled that Hawk had first told - one atory, then admitted l( waa a He . . and gave testimony that was entirely different. ' - Fred O. Buffum and V..' W. Robnett remembered many details. - Buffum toe tided that Hawk first declared that he had taken up hla claim for hla own benefit and had furnished hla own money for final proof, but after. Francis .J. Heney had 'questioned him for half an hour Hawk had said, "I've been telling a lie, but I'll come out and tell the truth and' take .the consequences." ' Then : ',. Hawk admitted that ha had acted for the Butte Creek company. ' Robnett corroborated Buffum's testl- ' roony and added many details concern ing what Hawk had sworn- to. He re ' called Hawk sweating profusely under the ordeal and mopping his face with a i red handkerchief. He aald that. Hawk had testified that ho was to receive $300 - - for his claim.' As this was 'II SO more than the figure mentioned by Hawk in Ma testimony a few days ago .Prosecutor Heney queatloned Robnett cleeeJy with I a view to getting him to admit that he .' was mistaken aa to the amount. ' , - Attorney Bennett objected to the line of questioning, but Judge Hunt, awept him down with tha pointed utterance. "My whole theory of evidence la . the elucidation of the truth."

Brows Concludes Testimony. Clyde Brown finished his testimony yesterday afternoon. He swore that be fore he left Fossil to go before the fed eral grand Jury In Portland ha was told by by Hendricks to teatify that he had taken .up his .homestead claim . for his own exclusive benefit and not for the Butte Creek Land, Livestock dc Lumber company. Brown perjured himself as agreed, but repented before he got out of the grand jury room and told the atory of hla dealings with Hendricks. Before Brown came to Portland he had been advanced 120 by Hendrlcka, who said: "Ton needn't pay It back If you do the right thing." - Brown evidently didn't do the right thing, for later when he found a job cutting wood Hendrlcka attached hla wages. , - "What did you Intend to do with your land 7" asked United BUtes .

" - : . ."I Intended to sell it to the company, answered the wltnesa - "The under standing waa that I was to get 1100." - On cross-examjnatlon the wltnesa eouldn't remember having lied to the grand Jury. - Tha questions asked were framed hi a manner calculated to con fuse him, and for a few minutes he seemed to have lost his mental rudder. Still he .waa clear on all other points and no twisting of queatlona could change hla atory.. , - ,. t , ; " ' Mia Brother oa the Staad. . H. B.

The committee aubmltted lists showing the check number, the persons receiving the name, and the amounts, for each of theee funda, but I waa told tha receipted bllla were sent to .the Pittsburg and Boston authorities and the committee is therefore without de tailed Information to show for what thla money was expended. : - ". ,: &!

There was not enough help and none of the conveniences that would be desirable In handling so much money.
