Tells How He Paid for Miller's 0. K.
on His Racing Adver-
tisements.
Money Was Turned Over to Joseph
Johns Who Acted as the
Middleman.
One Payment Alone Amounted to
$4,5OO-Telegrams Corrobor-
ate His Story.

Cincinnati, Ohio, Oct. 14.-The trial
of Daniel Voorhees, Miller of Terre
Haute, formerly assistant attorney IN
the office of the assistant attorney
general for the postoffice department,
and Joseph M. Johns of Rockville
Ind, for alleged conspiracy and brl-
berry in connection with decisions that
allowed J. J. Ryan & Co., turf commits
sioners, the use of the mails, was re-
sumed at a. m. to-day with the d.
rect examination Of J. j. Ryan still IN
progress.
When court adjourned last night'
Judge Thompson took under ADVISE
ment the objection Of counsel to Ryan
testifying to what Johns said to him
about what Miller may have said to
Johns. Ryan and Johns were In a
room at the Terre Haute hotel alone
and the formers testimony was
stopped yesterday when he involved
Miller.
When court convened to-day, Judge
Thompson decided that a prima facie
case had been sufficiently made out
to permit the testimony Of Ryan to be
admitted. Counsel for the defense ex-
cepted to the ruling and the examina-
ton of Ryan by the government coun-
sci was resumed.
While Ryan proceeded to repeat in
detail the conversation between Johns
and himself in the room at the Terre
Haute hotel during which the witness
claimed to have made a contract with
Johns for $4,000 for a favorable rul-
ing from Miller, counsel for the de-
PENDANTS interposed frequent objec-
tons which were overruled by Judge
Thompson. Ryan proceeded to testify
as to all his other transactions with
Johns, as the middleman, up to the
time last Decem Der, when Johns came
to Cincinnati and they met alone in
a room at the Gibson. house, where
Ryan gave Johns $1,1O0 In cash and
3,400 in two checks. Ryan continued
his story about subsequent transac-
lions in which he said Johns wanted
more funds right along, until the wit
ness finally made a statement Of the
whole matter to the postofhce inspect
ors and made no further efforts to get
bets on the races thru the mails.
Before Ryan's examination was
completed, James G. Bresnahan, as
sistant manager Of the Washington
office of the Western Union Telegraph
company, was introduced. and he pro-
duced copies OF the kilograms that
passed. between, Miller and. johns,
which were. used to corroborate the
testimony of Ryan. Hs,@-t@'+-a f.. r e. ~
Ryan testified that Johns told how
favorably Miller had been impressed
with the witness in Washington, that
Miller's salary of only $4,000 was
small there and that both needed
money. Ryan claimed to have made
two contracts with Johns at the Fill
beck hotel, in Terre Haute, one for
$4,000 for a favorable decision and
the other for $4,000 for revising cir
culars and other advertising so it
would pass thru the mails. Ryan
testified that Johns insisted that ''the
amounts would be small when d.
Vided."
The cross examination of Ryan by
Charles w. Baker included references
to a murder for which Ryan said he
was tried and acquitted and his repu-
tation generally.

Hamilton, Mont, Oct. 14.-Walter
Fonnie Buck, a 6-year-old boy was
taken from the county jail here last
night by a mob and lynched. T
Shortly before midnight seventy
five masked men, all armed with rifles
or shotguns, forced their way thru
the rear of the Jail and overpowered
Jailer Stephens, who was able to offer
but slight resistance. 49, w. -
Jackson was found cringing in the
darkest portion of his cell. He pleaded
piteously for mercy, but was rushed
out into the street, where the mob
had already provided themselves with
rope. This was quickly thrown over
an electric light pole and the moose
placed about Jackson's neck.
Begged for Mercy
say, but only pleaded for mercy. The
mob then pulled him into the air,
after which they quietly dispersed.
Not shot was fired. The identity
of the mob leaders is unknown.
Thirty-five minutes after the lynch
ing Jackson's body was cut down by
the sheriff and coroner and removed
to the morgue.
His Crime.
Jackson'S crime was one OF the most
brutal ever committed in Montana. He
appeared at Stevensville on Aug. 13
last, having come over from Missoula,
where he resided. On the evening of
that day he enticed Fonnie Buck, son
of well-known resident Of Stevens
vile, to accompany him out of town.
The boy was never seen alive again.
On Aug. 16 his body was found, and
an examination showed that he had
been the victim of a horrible assault.
Suspicion had already been directed
to Jackson, who was arrested, and
conclusive evidence of his guilt was
obtained after finding the body. He
was given speedy trial, found guilty
Of murder and sentenced to be hanged
yesterday. Meanwhile, however, his
attorney took an appeal, which was in
tended to act as a stay, but it did not
prove effective, the execution taking
place practically at the time ordered
by the court, but under very different
circumstances from those: intended

Jackson evidently had no faith in
the ultimate result Of his appeal. as
on Oct. 2she attempted suicide in his
cell by hanging.
