IAS KfJIFE RIB Jlillionaire Timber Owner Will Suffer When Defend ant's Attorney Begins Cross-Examination in the Trial of the Booth Case. Former Receiver Bridges Tells of Transactions at Roseburg ; Office Sensa tion Is Promised When ! Kribs Is Called. : Dynamite, to us an expression of th street, la supposed to lurk in the hidden corners of the Booth bribery case now on trial In the United States court. However that may be no heed less band bas aa yet run afoul of the hidden charge and consequently It has required an effort on the part of the jurors to keep awake so far.7 Delving into the records ami i counting" the cus toms of ' the land department of the United States Is not sensational work, . T. Bridges, former receiver of the Roseburg land office, was .on the witness-stand for the creator part of the ciny. He rinisnea his aireci-examin- tion erore it ociook ana mnua time has been answering the questions of Mr. Malarkey, put to bint on cross examination. .' ' One thing, and that alone which bore directly toward the guui . or in ue f f ndant, was testified to by the wit ness just before the conclusion of bis direct examination. He said that F. A Kribs had come Into the land office one day late In Hot or early In 104 and after calling both Bridges and Booth over to the desk bad offered them 125 a selection for every case held up for cancellation - by the gov ernment and purchased by Kribs which would be tipped off to Kribs, . . . In telling the story Bridges said that Kribs had done a good deal of busi ness with the land office: that ha had taken a timber claim In his own name snd had purchased a large amount of state scrip. Soma of this scrip bad been Issued on base which was not ap proved by the general land off lea and the selections were sent back as held for cancellation. The state failed to notify Kribs of the action taken by the government and be had. lost bis la Accordingly Kribs came' into -the Hoseburg office, Bridges said, and re lated his troubles. : He had told them of having lost tha land and had of fered ithem 125 for each selection held up if , the officials would tell bim of selections held for sanceUatlon as soon as the notifications had been received from the general land office. ? Bridges said that they had agreed to furnish tha information He testified thst Booth was present when the arrange ments was made and that he bad made no objection to ths arrangement. . . roresbadows Strong" XvUanoa. Shortly after this Bridges was rs IcumI bv the KOVerament and bis cross- examination began. Bridges said . in answer to Mr. Maiarkey's (questions that he had written a letter to the commis sioner of the land oirice at wasmngion, teiiinar him the records were being used by interested parties to secure advance information ana asmng zur peruiiBUJuu not to give the books to the publla. This order baa oeen maa oy wis ooju- yrtls.lnnitr In his cross-examination Mr. Malar- bev went Into the detail 01 mo lana office business, asking many questions ss to the manner of keeping ths books and records of the office at itoseDurg in order to make It plain to ths Jury how ths business : was . transacted in ntlpina.tion of the evidence to ba In t reduced by the defense later la the trial j ..' . -'a f ' Frederick A. Kribs will be one of ths next witnesses for ths government. He is in fact, the government s principal witness and It la expected that ths gov ernment's case In chief will be made from hie testimony. It is expeoted that much of the sensationalism- of ths trial. If any develops, will cluster around the testimony of Kriba Judging from the slurs cast in me airection of the government's chief witness by Mr. uaiaraey in nis opening statement yesterday. Mr. Kriba will fare badly when he falls Into the bands of the defense for cross-examination. It Is expected that Mr. Kribs will be put on the stand either late this afternoon or early tomorrow morning. '.. IMPRESSIVE FUNERAL Contlnued from Par On.)
