HILLMON CASE TROUBLES.
May Be Thrown Out of Court - At
tempt to Bribe q Juror.

LeavenwOrth, Kan, Oct 27.-The
HiIlmOn case being tried in the United
States circuit court, is in danger Of
being thrown out of court on a de-
murrer. When the prosecution finished
its case last evening one Of the attor-
neys moved a demurrer to the evidence
in behalf of both companies, and the
court was inclined to sustain it, but de-
ferred argument until Friday morning.
The grounds upon which the motion
is based are that the plaintiff, IN bring
ing the case into the federal courts,
had failed to state that it was brought
by a citizen of one state against a citi-
zen of another The defense urged;
however, that the facts of the corpora
tiOn'S being of another state were
stated explicitly in the insurance poll
cies. and begged leave to put Mrs.
Smith (HillmOn) upon the stand to
state that at the time of bringing the
suit she was a resident of Kansas.
Mrs HillmOn finished her evidence
for the prosecution about 4:30 o'clock,
when the prosecution rested its case.
Her evidence was as to a mole upon the
back. of HillmOn, a mole being about
the only point Of Identification found
at the post mOrtem upon the body.
Judge Hook ruled out the evidence
of DR.. Patterson, a dentist, of Law
renee, who made a plaster cast of the
mouth of the body.
Judge Hook caused a sensation by
stating that an attempt had been made
to tamper with a juror.
Judge Hook said: Before we ad-
journ desire to speak of a matter that
I deem it my imperative duty to men
ton One of the jurors has come to me
with the statement (and 1 honor him
for his prompt compliance with his duty
and the orders of the court) and in
formed me that he had been approach
ed by a person, with what seemed to
him as the preliminary step to an at
tempt at bribery he has stated the
facts to me and I am bound to say
that it impressed me in the same way
that it did the juror.
The matter has not gone far enough
to cause me to feel that it is necessary
to mention either the name of the per-
son or the name of the juror. but this
I do say, that if that attempt is con
tinued or that sort of an effort is again
made I will see that that person goes
before the next grand jury in this
court
One of the attorneys for the fns1r-
ance companies arose and stated that
they had no connection with anything
of the kind They courted the fulelst in
vestigatiOn and moved for the dismissal
of the entire panel
This was not done, but Judge Hook
said: What have said is not in any
way to be construed to be a reflection
upon any attorney connected with this
case, because the person whom have
in mind was not an attorney connected
with the case and there is no occasion
for any counsel to say anything: but
this I say, that this kind of thing must
stop. for this trial Will be conducted.
if it lies within my power to do it. with
out the result being affected by corruD-
ton and bribery.

age yearly loss from this cause is not
less than S20, 900, 900. The proper utiliz-
alton of the grazing lands on the public
domain is also urged and IL is pointed
out that so long as the land laws re-
quire mill men and other lumber men
to pay a fair price to the government
for timber supplies drawn from public
land there should be an equal charge
levied on the grazing products of pub
lie lands The government, it is urged,
should derive a revenue from leasing
such lands. The adjustment of the
Northern Pacific grants shows 36,570,-
O99 acres as the quantity of lands to
which that company is entitled and
there is still due the company 14,S51, ,SS2

The whole area of the grant to the
Union Pacific is found to be 1923, ,S42
acres, of which 5,155.646 acres is still

the St Paul. Minneapolis and Mani
toba- company is 1,2S7, ,22S acres and the
company has actually received an ex-
cess of 10975 acres.
