SML JURY
Apparently No Preparations
;3fado for Commencemen
jof' Oregon Land .'Eraud
'Trials Judge Wolverton
rWaitinir for Word.
Ho trial, Jury for the hearing of the
'land cases has yet been called by Judge
wolverton of the United States court,
and none will be called until requested
: either by Mr. Heney or the department
. o jusuce. - - .: ...
"I do not know when I will call the
Jury," said Judge Wolverton this morn
inn;. "It will depend upon what re
iLinttfa . T rioliM mm Mr KunAV. 1
. have not heard from him in regard to
the trials and until I do X will not call
me jury.r
This condition leaves the land cases
; Iran uncertain light once more. In the
. peat It has always been customary to
: can tne jury ior tne trial 01 cases in
, the federal court at least two weeks in
advance - of the opening of the cabes.
This Is made necessary by the fact that
the jurymen coma from all parts of the
state, and it takes at least that long
. lor the order te be entered, the draw
.. , Ins made and the officials of the court
sent out to notuy tne men arawn upon
'! the venire.
Looking at the situation from the
cufttora of the 'past thA-efore it would
- appear that the land cases will prob
ably not open on January IS, as set
down by .Jur. Heney when he was In
Portland a short time ago. Unless word
is received, from him before the end of
. tne wee ana tne can issued it wouia
be- a difficult matter to have the Jury
on hand for the opening of court on
the dav set down bv the court. -
One other circumstance that makes
' the opening , of . the land cases Vague
. and uncertain is tne iobid iixe quiet
that exists about the district attorney's
' office: Nc action has been taken, so
,. far as can be seen, towards gathering
together the -vast quantities of doou
- mentary evidence that will be needed in
. the trials, nor have any steps been taken
: towards roundlne-sun the army of wit-
; nesses that will be needed by the gov
ernment in making out its cases when
they come up for trial.
' Witnesses in -the different cases are
, scattered throughout the United States
,' and it will take time to- get them all
back to. Portland and ready to go upon
the stand for the government.
Indications point, therefore, to the re
sumption of .the trials of the land
-. cases, if resumed at all, at a later date
than January II. It Is possible that
Mr. Heney expects to get all the pend
: ing motions out of the way before the
resumption of the trials and that for
this reason he Is in no hurry to have a
jury summoned. Or it may be that he
wrlj have to take some time to gather
together his - evidence, witnesses and
operating forces before beginning to ac
tively prosecute the waiting defendants.
Whether or not this may be the solution
or the dust gathering inactivity about
the district attorney's office remains to
be set n. ,

was attired In a costume made of some

set on fire by her husband while he was
in tne act or lighting a cigar, in

of her husband and others who rushed

were Anally smothered, but not before
the woman had been burned In many

(Special Olapatch te The Journal)
Paris, Jan. 1. A well-known local
musician and composer of Marseilles,
Jean Talllefer, recently showed signs
of madness and was placed in a private
asylum. Last week he escaped, called
on several of his old acquaintances,
went home, and accused his wife of
having poisoned him.
He was taken back to the asylum and
died the next day., He was burled on
Saturday. On learning of his death,
Mme. Talllefer asked that an autopsy
might oe made to prove her innocence
of any attempt to poison her husband.
The postmortem examination revealed
that the lunatic's death was due to
Btrangulatlon.
The four keepers of the asylum have
been arrested. One of them states that
during the night of Thursday to Friday
Talllefer had had a fit of raving mad

that under the pretense of a work of
philanthropy he was carrying on Illegal
