Charlie Kinzel drank very freely of
the whiskey. The bova had two nujirtfl
when we Joined them. We opened the
first bottle of whiskey at the skating
rink, and left there about 10 o'clock.
Once Charlie Klnzel began to drink it
was hard to stop him. He wanted to
hold on to the bottle, and the boys
could not get It away from him. He
was laid out drunk at 10:30, and could
not stand up. None of the bova dirt him

After the Inquest warrants for the
arrest of the saloonkeepers at Canby,
who had been accused In the hov' tes
timony, were Issued from the office of
assistant district attorney. The bodv
of the unfortunate boy was taken to
his home at Canby for burial.
Calmly taking the atand and testify
ing aa to his connection with B. R. Coon
In manufacturing counterfeit money, C.
K. Mills, of Welaer, Idaho, who la one
of the alx Indicted and who pleaded
guilty last week to one of the counts,
proved a damaging witness for the de
fense this morning when he swore In the
United States circuit coart that he had
entered Into a conspiracy for making
spurious colna and that he gave Elmer
Turner $300 to aaslat In defraying ex
penses. Mills said ha had first talked the
acheme over with Elmer Turner early
In the year of 1904. After he sold some
cattle he gave Turner the money with
the understanding that he waa to be
one of the partners. Later Mills said he
visited Coon at the Bastaln ranch near
Huntington. Oregon, and they talked
about the scheme. Mills also testified
that he had taken the press, which, as
shown yesterday, had been purchased In
New York by Johannsen, first to the
Turner ranch and afterward to Baker
City. The understanding, Mills said,
was that the counterfeit money was to
be In $5 and $20 pieces.
Strong Case D ere lops.
Mills' Idea In visiting Coon at the
Bastaln place was to find out what had
become of the money he had given El
mer Turner. Turner had told Mills that
be had given the money to Coon for the
purpose of buying the necessary press.
Coon assured Mills that the money was
all right and that n one had run away
with It. Mills WU Bill! on int mn.uu
when the court took the noon recess.
That Assistant United States Attorney
James Cole la developing a strong case
against the defendants waa further
shown by the testimony oX C. A. North-
ey, cashier of the Huntington Dnn. un
two occasions toon went to me nana
and cashed drafts, requesting that a
part of the money be given In $5 gold
pieces. The request was granted. J.
W. Garner, an Astoria banker, was an
other witness for the government, show
ing that one of the checks to Coon was
from John H. Williams, another Of the
defendants.
Xaa Barred rive Terms.
Other witnesses examined during the
morning were Frank1 Dayton, a Portland
hardware merchant, who sold Coon and
Williams a lathe and other implements;
John P. Hannan of Huntington, and Wil-
lam 8. Halvor, superintendent or station
A postoffice. East Portland. v imams
at one time lived at 132 Union avenue,
and according to the wltneRS sent fre
quent letters, several of which were
registered, to is. it. coon, at nunuug-ton.
In one of these letters Williams, wno
s 76 years old, and who has already
served five terms In tho penitentiary,
said he was getting thoroughly tired of
hard work.
Was Is Touch With Man.
An Idea of the wonderful system used
bv the secret service agents of the gov
ernment In keeping tab on the counter
feiters of the country was brought out
at the trial of Johannsen. Williams and
Coon yesterdav afternoon, when William
FTynn, a New yoric secret service
agent, gave testimony to snow tnat
Coon, when supposedly ordering from a
manufacturer, was In reality In com
munication with Flynn himself.
When Coon ordered a certain reeding
collar, which Is made of steel, his com
munications were turned over to Flynn
hv members of the firm. The order was
-filled and the agent was allowed to mall
tho articles to Coon, who was then at
Huntington. One of the Turner boys,
It was shown, had also ordered and re
ceived one of the collars under similar
conditions.
Reeding collars of two different sizes
were bought Dy men alleged to nave
been In the counterfeiting conspiracy.
One of these waa for making $20 gold
nieces and the other of the Jj size.
Flynn, when cross-examined, said he
ever knew either of these materials to
be used for legitimate purposes. The
efense had made an effort to show
that they might have been purchased for
se In the jeweler s trade or aome
other business.
Good Witness for Prosecution.
Edward A. Johnson, sales manager
of a New York house dealing In hy-
raulic presses, made a star witness for
the prosecution. Johnson testified to
having sold a hydraulic open lawod Cye
firess to Hans Johannsen in New York
n the fall of 1904.
Johnson had a world of Information
right at the tip of his tongue. He
knew everything about the press, his
business and even New York City Itself.
Incidentally he handed the court a little
advertising for hl house It has been
In business since 1849.
The government will probably finish
with its case tomorrow.
