Hermann Trial
Early in June
\\ asbiugtoii, May 2. Kepi'eeelit
ative Heriuauu, indicted for alleged
destruction of 35 press copy books
connected with the liilMiiess of the
general land office, will probably be
placed on trial early in June Jus
ti'*e Gould today denied the requeat
of United States Attorney Baker to
have the case, which had been set for
trial last Wednesday, postponed until
fall
Mr. Baker stated that his reason
for asking for the appointment was
that F. J. Heney. who had practically
complete charge of the case, had been
compelled tn leave for California,
where lie had sidTered great financial
loss in the recent disaster. A. 8.
Worthington, counsel for Hermann,
stated that defendant was anxious for
trial. Counsel strenuously opposed
the motion for postponement, stating
that there were several witnesses in
the city who live thousands of miles
distant and whose testimony would
be of the highest value to the de
feudant. Mr. Worthington iuformed
the court that unless the trial was al
lowed at the present term these wit
tiesses would not lie available on ac
count of having returned to their
homes.
Justice (Iould stated that it would
require a very strong preseutatiou to
have it postponed until fall. He re
marked that the case was not one
which involved an intricate question
of law. ami added that tlie govern
meut was not without means of pro
ceeding with the trial tiecause of the
absence of any particular counsel. He
further stated that he would not des
ignate any date for the trial, but re
marked that the first week in Juno
was as late a time us would be ac
ceptable to the court, ia the mean-
time the <*oliit observed Mr. lleney
might have an opportunity to get hie
affairs in California in such shape as
to return and participate in the trial.
Mr. Baker will call on Secretary I
Hitchcock and ask him to arrange to
have Mr. Heney return to conduct
the prosecution. If Mr. Heney can
not return in Jum*, Mr Baker will
conduct t he prosecution.
