AN OLD CASE
Which Recalls the Vicissitudes of the
Kaweah Colony

The case of the United States VS. Haskell
ct AL, which was submitted on briefs to
Circuit Judge Wellborn yesterday, recalled
an old story. The case is one of the oldest
now pending in the circuit court. The de-
PENDANTS, Burnett G.. Haskell, James j.
Martin, Henry T. Taylor, Henry S. Hubbard
and William Christie, were members of the
Kaweah colony, which Haskell founded
some ten years ago in Kern county. The
colony, as advertised by Haskell in printed
circulars, was to be on a sort of community
plan. Numbers Of persons responded. They
settled in the Kaweah forest reserve, among
the giant sequoia, and erected a sawmill
Their plan was to cut down these trees, some
of which are larger than those in the Yosem-
ite, saw them up and sell them, and then
till the soil thus cleared.
But these plans were frustrated by the law
of forest reserves The colonists were ar
rested, convicted and fined. The defendants
named above were fined S3Ol each, except
Hubbard, who was let off with fine of $780,
The fines were paid and an appeal was taken
from the district court to the circuit court
on writ of error. Since then repeated at
tempts have been made to settle the case
but always one or more Of the principal par
ties have not appeared at the time set, and
there have been postponements and adjourn
ments unlimited Now the briefs are in the

us out and direct suspicion against lis
both?"
"Where would you have put it if you
were trying to conceal it?"
"I would have carried it down among the
willows, or anywhere else rather than to
pack it away where the stencil would tell
everybody there was something rotten
there"
"Then, in regard to the blood stains in
the house. You must have seen them
when you got home?''
"No, was too drunk to notice them, if
there were any there"
"But afterwards, you knew there was
blood under the bed. Did you not cut the
piece of mating out yourself?"
"No; l did not know the mating had
been cut until Thursday. I was looking
for the Chinaman everywhere else and
never thought of hunting at the house
itself My deputies were out hunting for
Clark, and one of them eventually arrested
him, as you know"
'"Then you neither killed the Chinaman,
saw the bloodspots, helped to stow the
body away, or cut the mating; or, in fact,
knew anything about the case more than
you have stated; is that correct?"
II have told all know" said Hunter,
and the exactness with which he held to
the identical story he has told on the wit
ness stand and on all other occasions was
not broken by the interview.
The unsupported affidavit of Harry Clark
alone keeps Joe Hunter in Jail. If the lat
ter knows more than he has revealed, he
has at least had the good sense to keep it
to himself.
