The Hency Trial.

The trial OF Heney Is getting quite

Heney then took the stand and in
his direct examination told all about
his connection with the mint and how
Langevin had tried to extort money
from him. He sworc that Langcvin
had wanted $500 or he and his son
would both testify against him and
that he had given him 500 to get
rid OF him. He gave Il detailed nc.

The Government in the Heney
trial is presenting a much stronger
case tina. the previous one There
has been considerable new evidence
introduced connecting Heney more
closely with the stolen bullion. The
~sensafion in the case came Tuesday
when Joseph LAngeyin, was on the
stand. He testified rs follows:
Am a resident Of Carson and have
been II long time neighbor OF Heney.
Last August 18th he wanted to go
down to Reno that night after the
train was gone. He said lie had n
telegram from a friend to meet him
at the train in Reno and must get
there. / sent my son Charley, about
II years old. with two horses and
blackboard to take HIM down there.
Heney put up the pay and they start
ed at 10 o'clock sharp. Just ont OF
town they stopped for Heney to take
two little sacks from tho sagebrush
by the side OF the road. They seemed
to be heavy, and he said it was sam
munition' which he would take to his
friend. When he got close to Reno
and near the Reduction works he
said, @This is all right, Charley; you
needn't go any further. I've only got
q few steps to 60" So he took his
two sacks OF ammunition, and Char
ley got back home ut s o'clock III the
morning.
Cross examined by WOODBURY.
Where is your son, Charley, now?
He is in Quebec, Canada.
Why did he go there?
Because | sent him there.
Did anybody tell you to send him
Yes, sir, it was James IIency.
The way OF it was this: After Hen
ey got into his trouble and was back
to Carson under arrest, he came to
me one day and spoke Of going to
Reno that night, and that Charley
being only n boy might be put on the
and do him harm rs Il witness
him.
We talked together over it and /
finally told him / wanted to send the
boy to Quebec to learn "a trade and be
more educated, and il he would help
me | would do so. | wanted none
and after awhile he gave me 800.
and the hoy went on the Sth of Octo-
Der.
But isn't it q fact that You have
been trying TO extract more money
from Mr.. Heney ever since?
Yes, ] was TO get $1,000 to keep out
OF the way rs Il witness in this last
trial few days ago, and / concealed
myself from the officers that tried to
find me, and they didn't find me.

THE RAILROAD INDEBTEDNESS.

The people of California are thor.
oughly aroused on the necessity Of
defeating any and all bills in Con-
gress, having for their object the
funding OF the indebtedness of the
Pacific railroads. Their Senators and
Representatives are pledged to vote
against all funding bills.
The people of Nevada are as much
interested i'll the settlement of the
railroad indebtedness rs tho people of
California are, but as yet no steps
have been taken to crystalline senti-
ment on the subject. The party plat.
forms last year contained strong
planks against any funding PROPOSE
ton whatever, but the legislature
elected by the Silver party fell down
and defeated a concurrent resolution,
based upon the plank Of the platform
on which they were elected, and
adopted n milk and water resolution
on this important subject.
If the action of the legislature was
a betrayal OF the people. they should
nov rouse themselves and make their
wishes known by sending petitions to
Senators Stewart and Jones and Con-
gresham Newlands not asking, but
demanding, that they oppose all
schemes before Congress for the re.
funding Of the railroad indebtedness.
Congressman Newlands has dc.
clared his opposition to such a meas
ure, and it will not receive his sup.
port. Our Senators, however, have
not, so far as we are informed, OK.
pressed themselves on this question.
They may be waiting to hear from
their constituents. II they are, the
people should act quickly and make
known their wishes before it is too
late.
