tetters and Other Papers Introduced
by Heney So Far Tend to Exonerate
Former District Attorney and F. P.
Mays Hall Gave Minute Instructions
Regarding Illegal Fencing.
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. ' '
" All during the morning- Ed A. Putnam
of Fossil, the man who urged for sev
eral Vr that om action be taken
against the men' who were fencing- up
the a-overnment Jad ar ' Fossil, has
been on the stand telling of hte corre
spondence with Hall and Mays; and of
ficials of the land of floe mTof his ef

- His testimony up to this point has
tended on the face of It to exonerate
Hall and Mays from any blame or neg
lect of duty rather than to 'Connect
them with conspiracy to violate the
law. 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. King and other set
tlers petitioned Hall and Mays, his
deputy, to lake action against the men
who were fencing up the range.
