; comfortably. In the chair with hla left
leg- thrown over the right, ewung round

.Ihla right band, talked direct to the Jury.

' ' The witness declared that he had re
' f ueed to make contracts in advance

"'Caohary had come into hla of (Ice at the
: 1 time the former decided to make

'loan of 110 and thia aroused the eus
: pldons of Hendricks that the proa
pectlve entryman had made a contract
.with Za chary. Thereupon. Hendrlcke
aald: "If you fellows have contract (or
aale aad purchase of this property I'll
repudiate the whole transaction." Both
, assured him ther had not. Hendricks
i, said that If the company lent Brown
,any money It must have security and
to settle the matter Zachary personally

Hendricks admitted writing the data
.. produced by Witness Irrin Wilkea, but
.aald u waa ruroisheo to WUkes In re
: . aponee to a written request. He bad
, searched for the letter and failed to
tflnd It. Next Hendricks denied having
' failed to read the queationa contained
in the document of final proof. - - In
, , every case he had fully performed his
v duties ea United States commissioner.
' He had noticed the answers of home.
Bleeders bore a striking similarity In
regard to Improvements, : but had no
thought that anything waa wrong. .
'. 'ow me SigarM It, . ,
The , wltneaa declared that ' he, a
. , United States commissioner, believed
..''. that persona ' working for. wages who
took up homesteads compiled with the
residence requirement by not being ab
,.' sent from their claims more than els
' months at any one time. In other
" words, claimant's could remain away
v' five months and It days, but If they
' spent the next night on their elatm they
; complied with the lew. Aoeording to
i this belief, two nights a year on a claim
r 1 was all that was necessary. .
, Much explanation was made concern
rfng Hendricks- dealings with Oeorge W.
Hawk, the man whose testimony before
a federal grand Jury caused the indlet-
ment ef Hendrlcke for eubornetlon of
perjtiry. The witness swore that the
. filing feee and all other expeneea eon.
nected with Hawk'e homeeteed claim
' were chsrged agalnat Hawk on the oom
- pany'B books snd that there was ne
prior agreement of purchase. Money
. famished for final proof waa charged
t to Hawk and was' taken out when in
response to Hawk'e appeals the com
pany bought his claim for 1400.
Hendrlcke then got down to' the con
versation he had with Hawk the night
before Hawk left Portland to testify
before the grand Jury. - According to the
witness. Hawk came to him and asked
for money to make the trip. During
the talk Hawk expressed a fear that ha
might get Into trouble. Hendrlcke grew
curious, and Hawk confeaaedrthat he
hadn't told the truth about Improve
ments la the affidavit on final proof that
he had made before Hendrlcke. . The
awful revelation staggered Hendrlcke;
It must have, for thia to what he said
about It en the witness stand this
morning: - ,v
Uke Clap of Thaader, ate Bays.' '
"Hawk's confession cams to me like
a clap of thunder cut of a clear eky. I
aald to him: I'm sorry you deceived
me.' The only thing for you. to do 1b to
teU the grand Jury "the truth. What
you did before me Is outlawed, but If
you lie to the grand Jury they'll have a
good case of perjury against you.' -
. Hendrlcke admitted giving Hawk data
regarding his claim, but added that
Hawk asked, for it. He denied posting
either Clyde Brown or H. B Brown on
what they ahould tell the grand Jury.
When asked If he had la any way In
duced or encouraged Hawk to commit
perjury, Hendrlcka an a we red. "No, In
deed."' .- , . .,' '
Judge Bennett finished hie direct ex
amination of-Hendricks shortly before
the noon hour. Ppecial Aaalatant Attorney-General
Heney and United 8 tales
Attorney Brlatol favored a receaa . be
fore . beginning cross-examination, and
District Judge Hunt ordered an ad
journment until S o'clock.
Prior to the calling of Hendricks the
government cloeed- Us case by calling J.
H. Lucaa, register of the land office at
The Dalles, to give the record concern
ing the homestead entry of John M.
Morgan. . Then the defense called Clyde
Q lass, bookkeeper of the Butte Creek
ooaipany's mill at iFoaailaQlass, who
eucka an a languid, tone and gulped -fre'
qusntly, -testified Uat he -overheard the
conversation that Hendricks had with
Clyde Brown when the . latter , was .sub-
ooenaed to appear before the grand jury.
Hendrlcka had advanced the expenses of
the trip, with the understanding that
Brown waa to work It out herding sheep,
and Brown was not Instructed aa to
what ha ahould teatlfv. '
Glass fared badly on ' cross-examination,-
as he was forced to admit that he
la under Indictment with Hendricks and
ethers for conspiring to Illegally fence
rovernment land, that be . took up
homestead claim which he afterward
sold to Clarence B. Zachary,. manager of
the company'a ranch, and that his con

he found the barbed wire freshly cut

Trancla I. Heney then took the atand
and testified ' to proceedings of the

aald "that some Indictments voted were
not drawn because of lack ot time.
