" Charged with having perjured himself in an effort to secure the rights to a , valuable mining claim on whictf an old man had lived for years in an endeavor to claim as his own, J. H. Parker, vice ; president of.the irst National bank of Baker City, and one of the most propiiicnt menf eastern Oregon, indicted on two counts by the United States1 grand jury, which adjourned this morning, was arrested last evening at Baker City; by Deputy' United States Mar shal Clyde Nicholson of Portland, and afterward released on a bond of $3,000. - i.,, . . The indictments, two in number, were returned to Judge Wol verton in the.United. States court several days ago. A bench war rant ' for Parker's 'arrest was issued by the court at once. One .of the indictments charges Parker with violation of section 4746 of the federal statutes, and the other of willful and corrupt perjury. Fred' Wnnder, an old' man' who hfea llyd In Baker county manjr jrari, was th principal 'witness befor the grand jury which v Investigated ; the charges against Parker. ' The complaint was filed with United States District At torney John ;McCourt some time , ago and was Investigated last week. So. eager was Parker , to. get hold of the mining claim which had been se lected by wunder e the property which would some day t)rb10e him With enough gold se that lie should have all the neceselttes of llfe,'ceoTding to the , evidence before the grand Jury, that he deliberately' plotted to . get the land -away from the old man and deliberately swore that there were, no Improvements on the place) and that the man had not compiled with the requirements of the 'law. - . -. , .. A brother of Parker wasalao mixed up In the deal, but he has not been In dicted. It eeema that Parker, the bank er, made several attempts to get the old man's claim and that It was not utnll some time age that he was partly successful. The- mining claim- which Wunder alleges Parker endeavored to take from him by swearing falsely is in uaicer county. Parker, who ls said ? to ; be 7 quite wealthy, was taken before United States Commissioner , C. - A. Moore of Baker City and the amount of bail for his liberty was Used at $8,000. The com missioner demanded $1,000 bail money on the one count and $2,000 on the in dictment charging Parker with -perjury.
