During the trial -yesterday - Colonic Wortlilngton, chief counsel for Her mann, objected strenuously to the In troduction . of evidence used against Hermann during the Washington trial. To the objection Mr. Heney replied thut evidence had been Introduced In the Washington trial equal to proving i'" Hermann's guilt of conspiracy In the ' land fraud cases, which yet could not be i used to convict him of destroying . the records. - During the reading of the letters of which he was custodian, McVean oc cupied tho stand In the' Washington trial two 'dHj-B and a half.' He was severely cross examined : by Colonel Worthington at that tima. It is not expected that he will be kept on the stand so long in Portland aa all of the correspondence except that relating dl rectly to the Blue Mountain reserve will probably be eliminated. Mr. Heney - announced yesterday that he believed ha could close the trial in one more - day. Colonel Worthington stated then that he could introduce all rebuttal tea- ' tlmony In pne day.

These letters are to the effect that the orderB of "shoot to kill" and it he work of the Portland men In running down these criminals are proving the best way to handle "yeggs." During the early part of the winter f. the many holdups reported were welgn . 1 ing heavily upon the mind of Chief Cox and his four captains. Men were being .,r liold up promiscuously. The .chief gave .mrders to Ms pa-trolmen to shoot any holdup man on sight. The patrolmen 1n , the outskirts of the city were placed In , plain clothe, and .Instructed to give close attention to the saloons and pool .rooms. The result has been that two holdup men h.e betn Flot and killed, and aev 'ral have been sffht Jto prison for long tcj-nifl. The number of highway rob '' beries reported has become much less, and the holdup men- seem to have taken warning. &' . ., ' i .
