WILLARD Is BOUND OVER,
Held 70 Answer to Federal Grand
Jury ON Charge Of Dealing I'm
Counterfeit Dollars.

L. M. willard, charged with dealing IN
counterfeit silver dollars. had preliminary
hearing before United States Commission
or Kiefer yesterday and was bound over
to await the action Of the Federal grand
jury next June His bali was fixed at
1850 and In default Of bonds he was re-
committed to the county jail
without the testimony Of his alleged ac-
completes, c. @. Weller and John Doyle,
who were several days ago held to the
grand jury and whom II was not desired to
put on the stand against the defendant, the
government made an apparently strong
case against Willard.
The principal witness called by Assistant
plstrict Attorney Claypool was 4 r
that h4 was the first man to whom Willard
showed the counterfeit money, advised the
hitter to have nothing to do. with 1t ana
made between Willard and Doyle and
Weller that they were to pass the money
and give Willard one-third of the pro-
ceeds.
Locke's story was that before daylight
one morning about two weeks ago. W.T.
lard, with whom he was on terms Of rath-
er intimate friendship. came to his rest
dence and informed him that he had made
great And. Locke says he inquired the
nature OF 1t, and that Willard by way Of
explanation conducted him to an Clubhouse
IN the old University. grounds where he
silver dollars, 125 In all.
Locke went on to say that for the pur-
pose Of testing the money. they took
one of the coins and attempted to pass it
at q nearby saloon. The bartender reject
ed 1t. Thereupon, Locke testified, he told
Willard to have nothing to do with the
money and to give 1t to the governments
officers.
willard. Locke testified, did not take the
advice. but said that he had a better
scheme. The following Sunday Locke ac-
companfed him to the State hotel, at ia0Si5
First avenue, where he met Weller and
Doyle and arranged that they should get
rid OF the money. all to share equally In
the proceeds. Locke testified that while lie
was present and heard all that was said. he
himself took no part In the conversation
and had nothing to do with the matter.
J. H. w. Locke, a brother of the former
witness, testified that he had talked with
the latter about the case before the arrest
was made, and had advised him to let the
money severely alone.
Operative La Sale, Of the Seattle secret
service, testified to searching Wizards
house and finding two of the counterfeit
coins at place in the cellar indicated by
Willard.
Willard did not go on the stand to testi-
fy. 1t seems probable from the line of the
cross-examination made by his attorneys
that his defense will be that he is simple
minded and did not know the criminal ma
ture Of his acts.
