Simon, on au indictment, charging that defendant had offered Geo. S. Downing, as superintendent of thestate prison 5 percent, dividend on a tobacco contract, was tried before Judge Burnett Tuesday afternoon. The court room was crowded with spectators aud the ablest counsel was employed on both sides. Tbe jury was as follews: THE JURY. Taylor Foster, A. J. Patton, A. din ger, F. Parish Ed. Beck, C H.Benson, A. E. West, W. R. TownEend, H. G. Souneman, L. V. Eblen, T. Kirtch, .. F. Ryan, were called. All of these were accepted but Messrs. Patton, Ben son, Eblen, aud Townsend; the latter served upon a grand jury before when the matter of this bribery was first brought up. Tbe remainder could not be accepted because of probable preju dice. O. I. Morris, J. Alliugbam, V Dencer, and J. L. Cook were drawL and accepted by counsel on both sides. THE CASE. After District Attorney McCain stat the charge. Judge Bonbam opened tht case for the defense. He contended that It was not Supt. Downing' dut to purchase tobacco for prisoners. Pris oners were there for puuishment auc uot to be indulged in luxuries. Tht law did not contemplate appointing o superintendent of a state prison to gi out as such and buy tobacco for convicts. Siuion was a political opponent auu critic of the administration of Mr. Downing. Tbe case had its origin ii malice growing out of a political con troversy. Downing and Governor Pen noyer had ill will toward Simon, whi was prosecuted to close bis mouth aud aud to be forced to refrain from criti cising this admiui&tratiou, and to puu isb him for reflecting upon public offi cials. . THE WITNESSES. Geo. S.Dewning: wus superintendent of the state prison prior to March 1st, 1891. Simon had insisted on allowing him to furnish tobacco to prisoners. Gilbert & Patterson bad the contract and were giving good satisfaction. Simon asked him to call at his place Monday at 2 p. m., went next day. Simon said, We have talBed about to bacco business long enough. I wil give you 5 per cent., or 10 per cent back, ou my bill. That has been done said Simon, aud is perfectly leg ti mute Witness said hetoldaimon a man would rob bis dead mother who would otler to lake a percentage ou a prisoner's to bacco. It was his duty to purchase supplies and it had been tbe custom ol bis predecessors to purchase 8iipplie for prisoners. This was objected to and argued, defence claiming the cus tom did not govern. Court ruled that witness might say whai supplies were. Prisoners were sup plied twice a month with a blank order sheet and tbe list embraced nearlv everything In the market. Frleudf sent them sums from 10 cts. to $5 or even more. A book was kept and each prisoner had an a ceo nut Prisoner who work in the stove foundry goi $2.50 to ?5 a month for good work aud good behavior some running as high as $100 to $150 a year. The state stove works also made some allowance to prisoners to buy such supplies aud to bacco. The governor had ordered him to furnish tobacco to all convicts work ing in tbe brick yard. SImnu kuew ol this practice and these funds and that the witness bad tbe buyiugoftbis to- oacco. fald 30 to 35 cts. a pound. This was all in contemplation when Simon approached him Cross-examiued. Simon had oflered to furnish tobucco for 5 to 25 cts. per pouud cheaper. Outside of prize tnnuej irom shops aud brick yards, it was tbe prisoners' money, uot the state's. Was uot on good terms with Simon, who had appeared before legislative committee as a witness against him Had appeared before grand jury as a wnues to nave Simon indicted. He had no malice growing out of libel suit Mrs. DiLeou had beiun slnai him. Capt. Humphrey: Knew the parties. Was present in March, 1891, heard part of conversation between nnu-nin,. and Simon. Downing wassavluir that Simon was trying to bribe him. Simon said It would be money In the state's pocket If Dowulng would accept his otler aud they, he aud D. divide the profits. Governor Penneyer: Knew Simon; was governor of Oregon iu March 1S1, 8imon had talked with him in his of fice. He eald he bad. I had heard about his trying to bflbe Downing and had asked him for tbe purpose of testing the matter. After he had made the con fession he told him that there was the door aud he could go out. Cross-ex: He claimed he had ottered 'o sell tobacco at a reduction from what he was paying. Q. Governor, do you really think Si mon was trying to bribe a public offi cial. A. I dont think he was conscious that he was committing a crime. Overruled by the court. Jos. Cavanaugh: Was shop guard at time Simon matter came up. Simon made him a proposition to intercede and get him contract to supply tobacco. Simon proposed through him to give Downing 5 per cent, of net profits on the tobacco contract. He wanted me to convoy this to Downing. Made this proposition after he was appointed assistant warden. Same offer was made In February before. Cross-ex: Had once paid a fine for Assaulting Simon. Simon asked him u the links of an Odd Fellow to get this contract. McGinn moved thit court instruct Jury that this case be dismissed as it was not proper togo to the jury because t had not appeared that it was the offi cial duty of Supt. Downing to purchase ibis tobacco for tbe prisoners. Overruled. The attorneys retired for consulta Ion and then the defense called au ex uperlntendent of the prison. Geo. Cellins: Was warden and su perintendent of prison, purohased to- acco for prisoners with their own uoney, and for the prisoners when em-1 nloyed on state work furnished money for that purpose; such money was kept is a separate fund. Cross-ex; Purchased some tobacco vlth state money for prisoners, per mpa for one-half. Had 300 men at that time. H. 8. Simen: Never offered grave Importance to the defendant. When the state undertook to deprive a! citizen of his liberty and establish a ! crime, it must prove Its case beyond a reasonable doubt and to a moral cer tainty. A man could not be convicted just lecause certain persons stood high iu authority. The robe of innocence surrounded a man from the beginning of a trial to tbe last word of the judge. The jury was not here to wash the dirty Ifnen of Dawning or Simon. Had a crime been committed? Why had not Downing appeared before be did? Why did he jump ontp Simon only after Simon bad appeared agaiust him? It was a persoual matter from end to end. It was persecution. It wa venom and malice on the part of Downing and. Cavanaugh. The time was gone by when a man could be prosecuted because ho had criticized those high in authority. No complaint was made until Simon crowded tbe state officers hard and then they went before the grand jury. All tbe state had In this case was a few oral admissions. To remember for two years the words said about so im portant a matter as involved a man's liberty. Such admissions must be tak en with distrust and tbe court would so instruct. The district attorney read the lav re lating to duties of the prison superin tendent, and bribery, and reviewed tbe evidence. Ihejury after beiug out forty-five minutes returued a verdict of not guilty. d Goods, Old Chestnuts anc 1 Don't Pick Over None of 'em.

Tbe jury was to determine whether Simou had corruptly offered a bribe of 5 per cent to get this contract. Simon knew that Downing was buying tobacco for tbe state for prisoners em ployed on the outside of the prison. This crime was corroborated by Hum phrey, and Cavanaugh aud the govern or, as agaiust Slmou's denial. John A. Carsen: The case was too friviulous to have ever occupied the the time of this court. Was Downing actuated by high principles of morality or by personal spite? He had allowed five terms of grand jury to go by before he appeared agaiust Simon. The mo tives of the witues3es were plain. Si-1 mon had pestwed Downing a great deal, Cavanaugh was a malicious op ponent of Simon's. He bad violated the confidence of brother Odd Fellows, aud had assaulted him. Coming to the ofler of a bribe, only 5 per cent was enough to make Dowulng ancrv. Humphrey did not corroborate Djwn lug. The governor had no distinct rec ollectlou of what took place.
