G U IL T Y A S C H A R G E D . V e rd ic t in the W illiam son, G esner and Biggs Land C ase. Portland, Sept. 28. — “ Guilty as charged in the indictment.” After three trials, extending over three months, John Newton Williamson, Representative in congress from Ore gon; Dr. Van Gesner, hie partner, and Marion R. Biggs, their friend and the United States commissioner for the general land office at Prineville, have been declared to be guilty of the crime of conspiracy to suborn perjury, and have been thrown upon the leniency of the court, by reason of their previ ous good character. The long and tiresome third trial of the case has passed into history, but unlike the first and second, it has been productive of a decisive result. Once more the cause of the government and the indefatigable energy of United 8tates District Attorney Heney have been triumphant, and conviction has come from the hands rf a jury selected and sworn to try the guilt or innocence of the defendants upon the law and the evidence. But it was not a question easily de cided or quick of settlement, for the jury wrestled with the decision from 5:20 in the afternoon until l l at night, and it was eight minutes later before the sealed envelope containing the fate of the three men was handed to Judge Hunt lor his perusal. For many bal lots the jury stood 11 for conviction and 1 for acquittal. As soon as the verdict had been read Judge Hunt arose and thanked the jury for their patient attention and uncom plaining service throughout the trial. He then dismissed them. Turning then to the defendants and their attorney, Judge Hunt asked if there were any motions to be made, and Mr. Bennett, shaking off the spell which seemed to wrap him round, asked to be allowed on behalf of all the defendants to file notice of a motion for a new trial. Judge Hunt stated that he would like to have the motion filed as soon as possible, as he desired to leave the city within two weeks, but he allowed ten days in which to com plete the written transcript of the mo tion and place it before the court. The court announced that pending the filing of the motion the defendants would be allowed to go on the same bonds under which they are now rest ing. Then the court adjourned, and without speaking the defendants filed silently from the room and into the night. They had no statements to make, they said. It was not their time to talk.

D ow ie P aralyzed.
