"I ear this because there la no doubt

Mr. Bristol refused to talk further for
publication about the trial, and when
asked whetier Hermann would be tried
tn Portland, stated that Francis 3. Ho

and ' that he. could not apeak for Mr:
Heney.
It I considered certain, however,
that th Oregon congressman will be
brought to Oregon for trial In th Blue

Just what disposition will be made

doubtful because of the fact that
much of the evidence that' was used
against Hermann In Washington was
to have been used agatnat him In Port

to Washington from Portland, together

there will be no disposition taken of

that Mr. Heney will allow Hermann to
get off without a trial. If Mr. Heney
turns over the eases to Mr. .Bristol it
Is considered certain that Hermann will
be given a chance to prov his Inno
