this witness with qther former em

tho handling of lands put inside the
forest reserves.
The prosecution Is now making an
effort to connect Hermann by cir
cumstantial evident with the Bluo
Mountain conspiracy. He has shown
that Hermann discussed the creation
of the reserve with Mays while in
Portland. He is now showing by gov
ernment documents, by letters of
Hermann and evidence of land office
employes that Hermann knew of
fraudulent practices in school lands
within tho boundaries of reserves cre
ated, that knowing of these practices
he had consistently urged In annual
reports and otherwise that the lieu
land act be changed or repealed, that
he had declined to recommend the'
creation of reserves because of these
conditions, and that in th face of this
general course, he had made a special
effort to secure the creation of the
Blue Mountain reserve, following hlsj
conference with Mays and the letters!
