San Francisco, Jan. 11. Colonel H.
I. Kowalsky, diplomatic agent for Bel-
glum, attorney for giant corporations
and regarded as one of the cleverest
lawyers In New York, and his brotner,
J. N. Kowalsky, a local stock broker,

Estella Nicholson, commonly known as

thousand dollars' worth of furniture.
which he owned Jointly with his brother,
In a local storage house.
Early in December, while In search of
a man with wnom he had business deal
ings, J. N. Kowalsky called at the house
then occupied by Mme. Zolo. Though a
total stranger to mm, tne maaame soon
convinced him that It would be to his
best interests to withdraw the furniture
from the warehouse and use it to fur
nish a house, which she had rented. In
exchange for which she would give him
room and board free and one half of
the profits which she secured from her
practice, wnicn ane ciaimeo amounted
to )30 per day. This proposition looked
enticing to 'nlm and he readily accepted.
On December zo last ne sent tne xur

In the meanwhile J. N. Kowalsky had

As soon as the letter reached New York

Land Fraud Prosecutions Is Heard
"The United States supreme court has got off on the wrong foot. I
have not seen the decision it rendered in the Williamson case, but it
that decision is as you say it is; if the court has held that there is noth
ing in the timber and stone act to prevent a man from contracting to
sell his claim at any time after the filing papers have been put on
record and before the final proof; if a claimant can take money from
a prospective purchaser to be used in proving up on his claim, then
the timber and stone act might Just as well be repealed and the doors
thrown wide open to the land thieves." This Is the way Francis J.
Heney, who arrived in Portland this morning to take up the trial of
John H. Hall, looks at the supreme court decision which reversed the
Williamson verdict of guilty and remanded the case for another trial.

"Under that decision, as I see it now.

the beginning of the end is in sight.
Court Off, Says Meney.
"As regards the Williamson case and
the Williamson indictment," continued
Mrr Heney, "the court got off on the
wrong foot. Judge De Haven ruled
out the evidence objected to by the su
preme court and it was not used in the
first two trials. We did not go out
of the indictment in introducing that
evidence and when the case came be
fore Judge Hunt we argued the ques
tion out before him. He was in doubt
and I suggested that he confer with
an attorney of the (teneral land office
then in Portland, and who helped draw
the Indictment.
"It was then shown to him that the
docament did set out allegations both

preme court overlooked the meaning of
tne indictment.

in my belief, as the case of the govern

Mr. Heney discussed conditions in gen

for the future as regards the land cases,
touched snarlnelv on tne tfnstoi contro

"I do not wa.nt to make any state

said Mr. Heney. "Mr. Bristol has . not

"I will sav, however, that the trouble

"A short time before Mr. Bristol's
