STILL EXAMINING WITNESSES
IN 00UK0B0B-HECKER TRIAL
Up to three' o'clock this afternoon
ight more witnesses were examined
the Doukhobor-Hecker case. It
s impossible to predict the outcome
of the trial at this time, but both sides
seem confident of winning. The at
torneys on both sides are trying to
pull evidence from the various wit
nesses tending to show that the land
is productive or that it is not what is
claimed for it as the case may be.
It is a slow and tiresome ordeal get-
ing the testimony from the Russians,
who claim not to be able to speak
English, and having every question
and answer go through an interpret
er. In many instances, however, the
witnesses appear to understand con
siderable of what is said and some of
the situations are quite amusing.
About the most interesting person
the court room is Michael F. Rea-
bin, who has been made a party to
the suit. He is apparently between
wo fires most of the testimony cen
tering about him. The Russians seem
to have itin for him the most, though.
and he sits with a smile on his face
while his countrymen tell of their
dealings with him. Reabin acted at
agent for the Doukhobors in buying
the land, and they claim he acted
more in his than theirs.
