' SHEEPMEN LOSE $5950 Tint of ntty "investors Vtawd m ; Victims of Alleged Mnil Trend Tells His Story. Preliminary skirmishing In the million dollar fraud trial of the seven indicted official and salesmen of the : XJ. g..' Cashier company has ended. From now on until the conclusion of - the contest, probably several weeks hence, time will b devoted to intro ducing evidence in the federal courts to ' support and oppose the govern- .y menf's charges that the accused men - - conspired to defraud ''those who in . vested in the ' company's stock, many at three times its par value of lit per share. . The case settled . down to routine development of testimony yesterday ; forenoon, 'when Burt Sallabary. a sheep raiser of Elmdale, Mont., went ion tne stand to tell how he and his brother- and partner had spent in all 1550 purchasing U. S. Cashier stock at 150 and $30 per share under a promise' of "big returns" in dividends beginning not later than six months from the time -they -Invested. That wis ;ln October and November of 1S13. No dividends have been forth- coming He was still on the stand "at noon when adjournment was taken wnttl: Monday mornlnsr- Bailabary waa the first of the 5 "investors' named as victims in the indictment to tell a story of money gone for promises. The defense took advantage of the opportunity to' In terpose ail possible objections with a view, of securing as many -early rul lngs as. possible to guide its actions ' when . more Important evidence ' is brought to the front by United States ; Attorney Reames. Already the de- , , S ens has learned that oral promises by agents : to prospective stock buy ers will be- accepted as evidence to . bear out charges of conspiracy to use -the malls to defraud, when connected with communications sent through the malls. . This was made plain when Attorney Pipe for the defense ob jected to Sallabary's testimony tbat huge 'dividends were assured orally by Salesmen Bonnewell and Todd hen they sold him stock. ' " Objection that no proof existed that copies of letters found in company t ilea had been Sent through the-malls likewise has been overruled. In this Judge Bean held that the Inference -' is with th government and that ac v credited documents of the concern must, be allowed as evidence for the r prosecution.- When court convenes Monday Sails Vbary will be recalled to the stand to " complete his story, at is expected then that thV defense will disclose its - plan of campaign- more clearly .hn J submits to -eroas-examtnation. vThu fsur- lte actional indicate- that' it .wlUt work to. show: First, , that - com pany officials had .the greatest faith in the enterprise; second, that at all times they worked to make f a go-log-concern, even to investing- in stock themselves and 'advancing personal funds; third, that the company is not " defunct but controls three. fourths of the- stock of the Indiana concern now manufacturing one of the U. 8. Cash ler' machines, tnd fourth, that while Individuals may have performed "in advertent errors at some time." a -conspiracy to "defraud all the stock holders' of all their money" never ex isted, and therefore no crime as charged could possibly have been com- : .nutted. .. " Up to adjournment yesterday only : seven witnesses had been- examined. , Tbey were Frank Clo yd. former secretary-treasurer of the company, who tdentifed letters and records of the concern; Hiram House, : expert ac countant for the government, who did the same thing; Will Hessian, David Ooodell and Thomas MUburn. adver tising' men of local dallies, who se ' cure'd the company's advertising copy, and Miss Hulda Erlckson, one of the " company's former stenographers, who unwillingly identified letters dictated ty. LeMonn to salesmen and Sallabary. On Tuesday, the opening day of the trial, and up to 2:45 Wednesday, the se lection of a Jury, took -up the time. Wednesday and a large part of Thurs day were spent in opening arguments for the government and defense. On .Friday the company's published ad vertisements were identified along with records, and Saturday found the first really important-witness -on the Stand and the case In full swing.

Butler, court reporter for Judge Gatens, and tha con sequent inability of the defense to se cure a transcript of the ease which Judge Gatens would oertlfy to the su? preme court is the reason given for the action though other reasons exist ac cording to Judge Gatens.
