grand jury will be called to probe fur
ther into the irregularities of the land

will be necessary tor him to go to San
Francisco at once to attend to business
which has arisen in his court in that
city. At first it was thought that an
other judge could be shifted to that
district, and Judge De Haven could
finish the duty undertaken by him of
hearing to the end the land cases now
pending. This was found not to be
possible, however, by Judge Gilbert,
of the Circuit court, and after some ne
gotiations Judge Hunt has been assigned
to the Portland court for the remainder
of the land cases.

Second Jury In Land Fraud Cases
Seems Likely to Disagree.
Portland, Aug. 4. Afrter 33 hours
of argument and ineffectual endeavor
to agree upon a verdict, the twelve
weary men on the Williamson-Gesner-Biggs
jury went to what rest could be
gained in the crowded and stuffy jury
room last night at 11 o'clock. Seven
of the men, so it is rumored, hold that
the defendants have not been proved to
have committed the crime charged in
the indictment and wish to return a
verdict in accordance with their belief.
Five men hold the opposite, that crime
has been proved by the evidence of the
government, and wish to return a ver
dict of gulity. One other story has it
that the jury is evenly divided, six
men wishing to convict and six to
acqit. Whether or not either of these
stories is true, the fact remains that
there is a serious disagreement, and as
time has passed, the conviction has
growing around the Federal building
that there will be no verdict returned.

liamson case came into court, and upon
its own request was discharged by
Judgtt De Haven. At only one time did
me government cause hold the majority
vote, that being during the first three
ballots, when seven of the jurors voted
to acquit, the vote then changing to six
tor conviction and an equal numtwr for
acquittal, where it hung without In
terruption through 30 ballots. At an
other time those voting to acquit pro
posed to their comrades to convict (ten
ner and Biggs, provided Williamson
should lie acquitted, but Henry J
- . . . . .
iteene wouiu not consent to the agree
ment, and no change was made in the
vote. George Kirk, after having voted
for three times to convict, changed his
ballot to the other hand and refused to
make another decision. According to
the story told by several of the jurors
it was apparent early in the course of
the deliberations that no verdict could
be reached, and the subsequent ballots
were taken more as a matter of form
man wun me expectation that any
change would Ie shown.

in regard to the existence of a contract,
