winHe, Henry W. Miller, in the fed
oral oourt today, suppleme-iited his
story of yoitorday, laying bnrf the de
taih of the unlawful scheme by which
he, Frank E. Kinca-t, Martin Q. Hoge
and Chariot Xickell, are chargei wlh
having conspired to itduee numerou
irsWents of Tkcer and Mtdford to
commit perjuTy in making applications
for land under the timber and stone
act.
Miller described how he had enter
ed into the conspiracy .wih Kincart,
how they had agreed upon a cou'ie,
concocted the bogus "Kmmettsburg of
Xcw Zealand Company,'' and started
out to inveigle the unsuspecting out
of their money. He went further and
drew Charles Nickell into tho 6Chemt)
and told how the latter, after tho first
bunch had emptied their pocketbooks
Into the conspirators' coffers, slapped
him on tho back nnd frlicited him on
tho fact that he had gone- about it
in tho right way.
Then came the entrance of Martin
W. Hogo into the scheme, with the
details of how he became the legal ad
viser of the Mo and later became a
hustler foi victims at so much each
in
vestment, and so zealouly lid he en-
tr into the spirit of the thing that miles of the timber,
he was made a special proposition
whereby ho was to receive $5 apiece
for victims as soon as tbey applied
and $10 on final proof.
Befo'e thu noon adjournment Miller
told how Hogo even went to the
point of having him sign a bogus re
ceipt showing that he (Hogc) had fil
ed on a piece of land and paid his
location fees when the arrangement
wac hat for and in consideration of
hit rustling "suckers" his location was
to bo made free of charge.
Question Etsjfardlng Juror
When court opened this morning
Special Assistant Attorney General
Himey said his attention bad been call
ed '0 tho fact that Charles C. Brad
lej one of the jm'ymen, might be in
eligible to sit, lxcnue of his having
taken out oly hi first papers. Judge
Thomas O'Day, atto-ne for the de
feust., wwived any objection that
might be raised, and stipulated that
the revord might show that Bradley
bunch from PMcl" bad filed. Then it
was they agreed npon a division of the
fees for swearing tho applicants and
publishing their notices in the South
e n Oregoniaa, Nickell 's paper. I!ls
om'ee a? a United States commissioner
was in the same room with the news
pajKvi ofliee. Miller represented to
Nickell that he thought he could get
10 applicants, but Nichell was skep
twal. The scheme had been worked
before, he aid. and he doubted if
he could get that many.
The first Placer bunch consis'wl of
Lafayette Lane, Heny 0. illiam.
Lizzie Williams, MoHie Irwin, W. Lea

Williams came to see him first and
said he had- been appointed a commit
tee of one to look into the proportion.
He wanted to know the names of
some ot the head men of the eompany
and was finally given the fictitious
name of J. D. Wtf-on, of Minneapolis
Minn. Williams was satisfied and
said he would get about six members
of his own family.
The namo of the "head man" was
to go no farther than Williams, for
Miller said he was not supposed to
tell who was in the company. When
all was arranged, the first "bunch"
came down, and they went out to lo

Good "Sucker" ProposiUon.
"Did Kincart tell you what kind
of timber it wasf" asked Mr. Henoy.
"Ye; ho said it was no good, and
the be-t 'sucker' proposition in the
whole state," answered Millo in a
brawn voice.
They nil thought it was not neces
sary to go to the timb he said, but
'he victims though it would look bet
ter to go out In the woods than to
go right before the commissioner and
file. Winn t'lej returned they all
went lefo-e Nickell and filed their ap
plications. Then the victims went to
Miller and KineatV room, signed the
contracts to turn the land over to the
"VmmrtH.Kii.i. t "V... V.-U i r

pany," upon final proof and paid
their location fees. As they paed
out of Nickels s otlice, Miller suid,
Nickell pnwetl him on the back and
told him he was "going to them in
proper snle."
The contracts signul in Miller's
room wem burnwl alwut a week after

a "ifeferrwl creditor," ou ot his

that he got no part of tho location

Then Miller made hiai th i-a j
U kej the Uea and ?ect to work.
He brought in sceal among whom
were Johnson and Luckenbach. Hoge
was so successful that he was offered
?i" for each one he gof as soon as Mil
ler got his fee of $23 and $10 mortJ
on final proof. Then others were en
gaged to rule, among them David Ir
win, a cousin of the o'her Irwin, and
Solomon Lander. Hoge did a good
business and was paid in all about $100.
He aettd as the legal adviser and
quieted the feats of some of the timid
ones, who wanted to be shown.
Then Luckenbach suspected some
thing and told Miller his scheme was
a fake and that tho company was a
bogus one. He was let in on tho plot
and infermed: by Miller that in the
nbsenco of Kincart, who was then
away, he might take his place and
sha-e the spoils. The new man hust
led hard and added several more vic
tims. Miller was still on the Etand
when the court adjouKned at noon.
Justf before the tTial opened yester
day afternoon, F'ltnk E. Kincart, one
of the defendant, changed his plea
o guilty. This was a severe jolt to
the defense, coming as it did immed
iately befose Henry W. Mtlht, an

.Miller detailed how he and Kincart
talked tho matter over at Myrtle
Oreek and agreed that they would
fo-in a deal to filch suckers of locating

represent himself as the agent of a
bogus concern called by the high
sounding title "The Emmettsbunr of
.ew .eniand Company." Kincart was
to be the otlu-ial crui-er. Miller was
'o up-eient that his company wanted
o buy Southern Oregon timber Innd.
He confessed that there was no such
company and that all they expected
to get was the locators' fee. Con
tracts -to be signed up between the
company and tho sucker were ar
ranged. Then they looked! tho field ove for
suckers as Miller frankly stvled their
intended victims. Readily 'the town
