A fierce lgal battle with big i?sus and far reaching results at stake, is being waged in the land fraud cases at Tortlaud. Some of Oregon's most conipic ious public rueu have been ub poenaed as witnesses. Among those who have alrea ly been on the witness stand are Hon. Wil liam Galloway, judge of the cir cuit court, department No. 2, of the Third Judicial District; Hon. C. B. Moores, Ex-Register of the United States land office at Ore. gon; non. Binger Herman, re presentative in congress of the First Congressional District of Oreeon. In the course of the; examination of letters written to him by Senator Mitchell presumably relating to land matters were handed Mr. Herman by Gover ment Attorney Heney for identi fycation. Upon introduction 'of the third letter, objection was interposed by Judge Pipes, attor ney for defendants and the letter was withdrawn. "Why did you submit tfcem?" asked Mr. Pipes "Because I expected to identi fy them by Mr.Herman"answer ed the attorney as his face flush ed and his voice shook. "Be cause 1 expected to identify - fc them by Senator Mitchell am jtftar him and I expect to have him here. I am now try ing to get him and I will con. nect with this paper later. I ex pected to prove the letter by Mr. Herman, and failing . withdrew it until Inter." This would indicate .that Sena tor Mitchell also, will be one of the witnesses. The lawyers in the case are Judge Pipes, Thomas O'Day and Mr. Pater, brother of one of the defendents, pitted against John H. Hall United States district attorney and Special Prosecutor Francis Heney of San Francisco. Judge Pipes has already convin ced the court that he has the courage to object to most any. thing the prosecution has the temerity to offer as evidence. As a technical lawyer, it is doubtful if Mr. Pipes' peer is . to T found in the west and it will not be at all surprising if he finds grounds for throwing the case out of court before it ever reaches the jury. Should it go to the jury, the defendants still lave two chances-acquittal or a hung jury.
