HY CONVICTED
IN LAND FRAUDS
BY STACKED JURIES
Dnsori upon Investigations made by
tlio department or Justice, President
Taft In pardoning Wlllard Jones, con
victed of land frauds by Francis J.
Honey, lifts denounced tlie convictions
obtained In Oregon by Detective Win.
J. IJuniB and Prosecutor Honey as
rank pcrvornlons or justice, due to
outrageous manipulations of juries.
Tlio convictions of prominent Mud
ford men wero obtained by the sain
methods.
H. H. Schwart, attorney for Jones,
In replying to Honey's accusations
that tlio pardon was Focural by politi
cal Influence, makes tlio following
statement:
"Tlio , fact of tlio matter is that
politics liad absolutely nothing to do
with tho granting of tbc pardon. It
Is further u fact that politics had nil
to do in securing tho conviction not
only of Jones, but of Mays, William
son, Mitchell, Hendricks and such
other defendants as were convicted.
UascU Upon Investigation
"Absolutely no recommendations
or petitions by citlzuns were consid
ered by the president at tho time the
pardon was granted. Tho iard
was finally granted becnus?, In tho
opinion of tho department and he
president, the official records now on
fllo In the department support tho
charges mndo by Jouos. TIo charges
were, briefly: First, that false and
highly prejudicial testimony had beon
given In tho trials against him; sec
ond, that witnesses were coerced and
Intimidated by the government offi
cers Into testifying falsely; third, that
tho prosecution selected a Jury with
political bins and stuffed tho jury
wlthjnen whom they had Interviewed
and found were for tho conviction of
tho defendants.
"Tho president jn his warrant ct
pardon recites that the commitment
of Jones had been postponed for the
purposo of investigating the truth of
tho charges made by him, and further
recites that a careful investigation
has been made by tho department,
and that as a result of such investi
gation it is necessary, and he does
grant a full and unconditional pardon
to Mr. Jones. In his letter directing
tho pardon to be prepared for his
signature, the president says that the
manipulation of the jury box was the
most high-handed outrage that had
ever como to his attention In his en
tiro experience on the federal bench.
and ho designates Heney and Burns
by name, and says that their conduct
was reprehensible In the extreme.
Political .Manipulation.
"So far as Mr. Heney's pretended
belief that Mr. Jones secured aid be
cuuso of Senator Fulton's political
strength, tho fact of tho matter is
that all the politics connected with
tho Oregon land cases was tho politi
cal manipulations by which the con
victions wero secured. The official
records disclose a closo political com
bination to disrupt and ruin the re
publican party in the state of Oregon
and a complete understanding and
sympathetic co-operation between ths
machinery of tho Federal Court and
tho office of the Public Prosecutor,
Heuey, Jn the conduct of these trials.
Tho brazen disregard of tho most ele
mentary principles of fairness and
justice, 8 evidenced by the official
records, is only exceeded by tho pres
ent Immaculate gall of Mr. Heney Jn
his effort to make it appear that Mr.
Jonea had a fair trial and that he
escaped punishment becauso of the
weight which the Preslent might give
to u bare letter of indorsement by
Senator Fulton.
"Tho followlug recommended n
eompleto parden: Governor Oswald
"West, democrat; Senator Chamber
lain, democrat; et-United States Sen
ators Simon and Fulton, republicans;
Sonator Bourne, anti-Tuft republican;
Congressman Lafferty, Insurgent re
publican; ex-Goveruor Bowermun, re
publican; Circuit Judge Hunt, tjio
triul Judge; Editor Jackson of the
democratic Evening Journal. These
represent tho extent of the indorse
ments from omjnent persons having
prominent political character,"
