Over at the federal court the Hal
land fencing trial is so exciting and M
full of atartllng testimony. o replete
with sensation that John H. Hall, the
defendant, was able to read aa extra
edition of a paper announcing the. ver
dict of the Thaw Jury while he replied
to the grilling gross-examination of
Prosecutor Heney. It la another caae
of the mill of the goda, Insofar aa
the rapidity of movement 1 concerned.
Just how fine Mr. Hall ha been ground
will be for the Jury to say at some oat
yet very inaennite.
It ha been figured out by attorneys
In the case that the mry will have a
chance to say what they think about the
case about a week from today. It may
be that thl I a pretty long guess, hut
Judging from the way thing are mov
ng now it is conservative.
Mr. Hall will perhaps close hla or
deal as a witness some time today, for
Mr. Heney announced Just before noon
that ha erould be through with the
cross-examination In about IS minutes.
Judge Webster will fill out alL of the
remaining time with his redirect ex
amination so that the Jury will end
it week' work by hearing the conclu
sion of Hall' story.
On Witness tot Defease,
Monday morning the defense will put
one more witness on tne stand, .it is
uppoaed that this man will be either Ed

not certain. It Is estimated that the
greater part of the day will be tak-m
with this witness, when the defense will
ave closed its case.
Folowln that, however, Mr. Heney
will put in evidence for the government
In rebuttal, and he alone knows Just how
long It will take to finish with this part
of the case. While he will not tell, it Is
believed that he has several witnesses
to put on ths stand, and if he ha a cou

with their examination. Following this
wll come the argument of Mr. Heney,

22 degrees. In 1906 Portland expe

Few Stay to Listen.
The progress of the case a it un
wind to the apectator is so slow ss to
be almost Imperceptible. It may be that
Mr. Heney la driving spikes of evidence
to clinch his contention that Mr. Hall
entered into a conspiracy to allow Btel
wer to maintain his fences, but to the
Innocent bystander it Is a dull dead
story, anyway, and the thinning crowds
In attendance make it plain.
Heney is going back into the past and
delving into all the records of Hall's
official past to show that he was zeal
ous In smaller cases similar to the
Steiwer case, but that In all things per
taining to the Steiwer fences he waa
most singularly Inert. That is the
whole trend of the evidence reduced to
a brevity, inis morning ne asked mm
in detail about his relations with Oeorge
Sorenson, whether Sorenson was a
friend of his, what he ever did for him,
whether or not he was a leader In Ore
gon politics and various other things.
Heney's purpose In making the ques
tions was to show that Sorenson was a
friend, that he had been assoclatied with
Hall in politics, that he was connected
with Mays, and others who In turn were
politically entangled with Stelwer's con
nection with the case. Sorenson was
not punished and neither were the oth
ers.
Heney questioned Mr. Hall concerning
a long list of statements made by Hall
to Heney and Burns and taken in short
hand by Irwin Rlttenhouse. Hall said
he made the statements in the main aa
they were reproduced but that since
they had been written down without his
knowledge that they were to be used
avalnst htm at some future date he
might not have been so careful of his
phrasing as he would otherwise have
been. The statements related to evi
dence that Hall had secured of the con
nection of Sorenson. Loomis F. P. Mays
and a number of others In the first land
cases tried.
Ran Explains.
Heney asked Hall whv he had not
brought F. P. Mays before the grand
jury when he had found that he had
become Implicated In the land frauds, and
the witness replied that It was not his
custom to call men before the grand
Jury aa witnesses if they were to be
Indicted. He had allowed persons ac
cused of crime to make an explanation
to the Jury, but he had never sum
moned them as witnesses unlee they
were to be used as witnesses- and not
prosecuted.
Mr. Heney also questioned Mr. Hall
In detail concerning his visits with Sen
ators Mitchell and Fulton in Washing
lngton at the time he had wired to
Brownell to indorse him for reappoint
ment for district attorney. The wit
ness said he had spent several days in
Washington and had paid both senators
several calls.
The whole trend of the cross examin
ation is Intended tn ahow that Hall tiro-
ceeded to prosecute Violators of the land
fencing statutes Ufc.many different parts
of the state, upon -oohi plaint being made
to him. but that -he did not bring ac
tion against Steiwer or his company
and did not notify the Butte Creek com-
Sany to remove it obstructions as ne
id in similar cases. The political
phase of the case Is then being brought
in to show why It was that Steiwer

he read the paper again and he cannot

I have thoucht this matter all over,
and I have the following proposition to
make: It Is that the Oregon Savings
bank be turned over to the Kvenlng Tel
egram, with all assets, and cash on
hand, and that the Evening Telegram
assume all the liabilities, and agree to
?ay all che depositors In full within
0 or 60 day at the outside 90 days.
The Evening Telegram is unquestion
ably the most deeply concerned of any,
and It 1 easily able to do this. '
All It would have to do would be to
assess it 2,000,000 subscribers $1
apiece, and furnish an Indemnity bond
that it would show up that many. I am
firmly convinced that the Evening Tele
gram is the only honert thing In town.
All I want Is an honest man to handle
this business, to guarantee that the
court, the receiver, and Mr. Reed and
the new board of directors are not going
Into cahoots to rob ua depositors.
I think In particular this man Wilde
needs watching. He haa been going
around here nearly two years trying tt
build up an Independent home telephone
system. Any man who will lend his aid
to strike the shackles of the Bell tele-
fihone company from a quarter of a mil
ion alaves ought to be canned. Be
sides, he and his associates In the tele
phone construction company -have only
$460,000 at stake in this effort to
breathe the breath of Ufa into the de
funct savings bank, and that is not
worth consideration in this proposition.
What is It to us if their bonds are
tied up in the bank and they are short
ot construction funds, and the Omaha
telephone plant goes into the hands of
a receiver? That would only deprive
our Portland depositors. of half a million
bonds they have subscribed for, and
the Evening Telegram could easily make
this good. I have no doubt the Tele
gram will come out tomorrow boldly and
offer to do so. I think It Is perfectly
wonderful the amount of consolation
this able DSDer has for us. and the un
ceasing flow-of confidence It inspires in
our panning men, as wen as our courts.
If it were not for the Telegram, I be

hopes and jumped Into the river. But
even then the strong right arm of the
Evening Telegram would probably have
reached out and saved me in spite of

performing two of these operatlone.
Heymana was the partner of Elsen, but

In the answer filed by Heymans It Is
charged that the operations performed
were those which encouraged, caueed

ALEXANDER SEAVEY
ATE
BURIED
Member of the health beard have
asked City Attorney Xavanaugh to
prosecute Ernest Heymana, manager of
the X-Radlum Inetltute, Third and Al
der street, for forging the nam of Dr.
Cora Talbott to a death certificate ot a
young woman.
Not only was the signature forged,
but the cause of death aa well as tha
place of death were falsified te la the
certificate, according to Dr. Esther 17
PohU who reported the case to the board
at tni rooming s meeting.
The board member also recommended
that the case be referred to District
Attorney Manning for investigation. A
similar falsifying to a death certiorate
about a year ago was also recently dis
covered, but the health authorities have
requested that nothing be aald In regard
to this case until a more complete In
vestigation haa been made. Dr. Pohl's
report follows: '
'During the month of September. 1107,
there was filed In the health office a cer
tificate of death to which the name nf
Dr. Cora Talbott is alleged to have been
forged. The deceased came to her death
In an Institution known as the X-Radlum
Institute, corner Third and Alder
streets. In this city, and an autopsy waa
rrformed at Coroner Flnley's by Dr,
K. Locke, who found death was
caused by septlo endocarditis. This
last piece of Information, however, doe ,
not appear on the certificate, to which
the name of Dr. Cora Talbott was '
signed by Ernest Heymana, manager of
the X-Radium Institute. Mr. Hermans
admits signing the certificate, and
claims he was authorised to do so by Dr.
Talbott; but Dr. Talbott denlea any
knowledge of the case or the signature. "
"The attention of this office nas been
called to this case by a communication
addreased to the mayor by J. Fi Watts,
attorney for Dr. William Eisen, who
claim to have been requested to sign
this same certificate before the nam
of Dr. Cora Talbott was signed to It.
"The name of the dead girl, which
may have to come out later, ha been
purposely withheld from this report;
and out of consideration for the feel-Ine-s
of the family, and the aood name
of the young woman who haa paid th
aeatn penalty ror ner own ana otner
people's sins, I respectfully request th
newspapermen not to hunt up her nam
or to use it in any report they may
make of this meeting.
"The filing of misleading and forged
death certificates is an open, easy way
to dispose of these criminal cases.
"Septic endocarditis wa not the first
cause of this woman's death: It was a
secondary cause. She died from a crim
inal operation and her death certificate
la fraudulent from beginning to end."
According to the city ordinances. Hey
mans, if proven guilty of falsifying th
certificate, can be fined 830 and sen

Donelo Ratleo, a laborer in the employ

being run over by a switch engine. At
the time the fatality occurred the man
was at work with a pick loosening the
frosen earth from about one of the
switches in the yards. He stepped from
between the rails to avoid a switch en
gine which was shunting a caboose to a
sidetrack, but failed to notice that aftor
passing him a few feet the engine
stopped. He stepped between the rails
to resume his worK and waa struck by
the engine as It backed up. ; His body
was crushed beneath the wheels, and
death must have been instantaneous.
Coroner Flnley was notified of the
facts and took charge of the body. No
blame attaches to the crew of tho
switch engine, and the coroner does not
