V Slowlr. atone by stone and brick by brick, the government la laying the foundatipn of its Tltal evidence against John H. Hall and Edwin P. Maya in the land fencing case now being heard in the federal court. Ponderously, like from the storied mill of the gods, Heney Is grinding bis' testimony out and up to this time has not shown any connection ' between the defendants on. trial and the conspiracy charged in the in dictment Nor will thla connection be made certain for some little time to come according to the apparent outline of the government's plan pi action.

He has been kept busy- by Mr Heney identifying letters writ ton by himself to Hall, to Mays, to Special Agents Loomls and Stratford and to j Blnger Hermann describing conditional near Fossil and asking for - relief. He has slao Identified many letters writ ten b Hall and Mays in answer to his petition!, all of which point out to the complainant the remedies existing for him in the law and advising him how to proceed In order to avail himself of three rtctutes. ' This foundation work is slow and. tedious and of little Interest and It is not expected to lead into the fireworks for several days. Heney is showing that Putnam.
