the testimony was not sufficient to sup
port the indictment, and he asked the
court to instruct the jury to render a
verdict for the defendant, and. in ac-
cordance Herewith a verdict of not
guilty was returned.
The indictment recites that Thomas
E. Jeremy, on Sept. 16, 1895, came be-
fore Byron Groo, register of land office,
and made affidavit that he was the as
signee of William c. Dyer, who made
a land entry of 800 acres of land, which
was assigned to Jeremy by mortgage.
Jeremy took possession of the land,
making affidavit that Dyed died leaving
no heirs. Whereas Jeremy knew that
Dyer, when he died, left heirs capable
of inheriting his estate and did there
by commit perjury.
The testimony showed Dyer was in
debt to Jeremy and to secure him gave
a mortgage on the land, telling him
that he had no heirs. his wife having
been divorced from him, and that the
children had gone with the mother. He
had consulted with his attorney, Major
Bird, upon whose advise he had made
the affidavit, believing that Dyer had
no heirs.

Letter Has the Shorts In a Tight
Box.
GREAT CORNER IN WHEAT
YOUNG OPERATOR CAN FIX HIS
OWN PRICE.
Gould Have Run May Wheat Up to
$500 Yesterday, Had he Been So
Minded, and Is Absolutely Master
of the Market-A Volcanic Session
Yesterday.

Chicago, May 9.-Another record
breaking twist distinguished today S
session on the board of trade. Veterans
on change, who witnessed and played
part in the scenes on the board dur
ing the Franco-Prussian war, claim to
find a marked resemblance in today s
session. There were moments when
the official reporter in the wheat pit
heard traders offering or selling wheat
at a variance of l cent at the same
moment. Although the last week has
recorded two daily advances of 20 cents
in May wheat, neither OF the fiuctua-
tons have caused such q frenzy in the
pit as the boom in July wheat.
That another volcanic session was TO
be encountered today was evident as
soon as the first cable from Liverpool
conveying the information that wheat
had been boosted there to the extent
of S1A cents per bushel over Sunday,
arrived. July wheat jumped from Sat
urday's close of s1.063s to S1.09A in one
bound, at the OPENING There was no
break in the advance until 10 cents
was added to the Saturday closing
price, and later in the day the price
went up to $119A. May wheat was
kept within bounds by Joseph Letter,
for reasons of his own. 1t is generally
admitted that ne cOuiQ nave let out
the price of May wheat to 81, if he had
been so minded. Instead, Letter
brought pressure to bear upon May
wheat, which confined the advance to
. cents over the high point of last
week, or to $1.75.
A rush for cover by bears was one of
the features of the market today.
Schwartz, Dupee & Co. took large
amount of July wheat at the opening,
and Ware &s Leland were the principal
buyers. The mystery now which ap-
peals to the entire wheat trade is the
Identity of the shorts in May wheat.
There is hardly another corner in the
history of the local board that reveals
the bear in such a tight box as he is
at present Those who have contracts
to deliver May wheat to Letter are com
PEELED to buy of him, as ne is the only
holder of available cash wheat. It is
unlike the situation which confronted
Letter when there was still large
amount of wheat in farmers hands
ard he is today the only factor In May
wheat, without an opponent The bears
who have not yet reched cover cannot
be regarded as his opponents. as Letter
has them as securely under his control
as it is possible to have them. During
the last week Letters profits must have
been enormous, and from all indica-
tions. he will dispose of the wheat
which is not yet contracted for ship
ment at fancier price than at present
