The Testimony in the Heney Mortgage
Case at Carson, Nevada.
The Trial Judge Finds It Difficult to
Ascertain the Truth.
Two School Girls Badly Injured by
Being Struck by Lightning Near
Chewaiah, Westinghouse Wood
land Lady Commits Suicide at
Winters by Taking Strychnine.

CARSON, May S.-When the Heney
mortgage case opened for argument
this morning, United States District
Attorney Jones stated that he had proof
of a conspiracy on the part of the de-
PENDANTS to dispose of the mortgages
clandestinely in San Francisco, and
that the alleged sale of Coffin's mortgage
for 81. 750 was but subterfuge, the
correct date of the sale being subse-
quent to that sworn to by. Coffin, and
the amount of sale 50, $50. The differ
ence between this deception and the
true selling price was divided among
the conspirators. Plans were being
laid that the mortgages would be sold
to friends of the attorneys for so low
figure that their fees and nothing else
could be realized from them. This was
for the purpose of defrauding Heney,
and also the Government out Of the
fine.
The District Attorney also stated that
he would bring forward witnesses for
the purpose of proving that Attorney
Coffin had recently written to certain
parties in San Francisco and admitted
that Mrs Heney was interested in the
outcome of this litigation; also, that
contrary to their testimony this week,
she was entitled to a portion of the re-
ceipts of the sale from the mortgages,
according to an agreement when the
transfers were made.
The Government will not alone rely
on letters in this regard, but will pro-
duce parties who received the story
from Coffin's mouth.
The Judge held the case open for fur
ther testimony, saying at the same
time: Il am glad that something has
developed, as it gives me an opportun-
ity to ascertain a portion Of the truth
in this case. l want to get down to
some point where the case will not be
one man saying one thing and another
something else. So far ii has been
nothing but labyrinth of contradic-
tions'
Coffin produced check in court to-
day for STATS 80, notwithstanding that
he supports his statement that the
mortgages sold for S1,150, and he
agreed to produce every cent realized
in court
The Judge says he will investigate
this matter later.
Among those witnesses for the de-
PENDANTS who have been strenuOusly
contradicted by the Government wit
nesses are District Attorney MCGOWAN
and Sheriff Kinney of this county.
