ignorant Of Letter

The names OF John p. Hart and p.
d. Hughes OF Seattle were then drag
ged into the case. Smith denied that
he had ever met either OF these men;
neither had he written to Hart. The
purport OF this cross-examination was
20 prove that he had received assistance
from Seattle attorney In an attempt
TO defraud the city out OF money for al
legged injuries received by Lane. Judge
Mcbride excluded from the evidence a
letter said 10 have been written by
Smith 20 Attorney Hart and signed
John T.. B. Myers, urging the attorney
TO fix up some dates so as not TO jeop-
ardize the chances of the defendant
Lane when the case came to trial.
These dates had direct reference to the
time between the alleged injuries sus-
tanned by Lane In Seattle and Astoria
He said that he deemed them too near,
which might result in arousing the sus-
picion OF the authorities investigating
the case. He explained possession OF
this letter. which was taken from him
by sheriff Linville, by saying someone
had thrown 1t into the corridor of the
Jail at 4 time when he was probably
the only occupant. The
exclusion OF the letter in evidence as
part Of the states case seemed to re-
lieye the defendant. who took particu-
bar interest in the argument that fol-
lowed. On the stand ne stated that he
was not quite sure that he had written
the letter. and compared it with anoth-
er letter which he admitted he had
written. The penmanshlp suggested
the same hand, he admitted, but he
would not swear that he did not write
the letter. Charles II Higgins, assist
ant cashier of the Astoria National
Bank. was called by the state as an ex-
pert witness. He examined both let
tiers and said that in his opinion they
were written by the same hand.
A brother of the defendant then took
the stand and testified TO the good char
acter, and reputation for honesty and
veracity borne by his brother in the
county of Contra Costa and .commun-
ity in California in which he resided.
rhe witness stated that the character
and reputation of Il, l.. Perkins, of the
same community, a witness for the
state, was not above suspicion. Dep
lty Sheriff Frank Thompson was then
called by the state and impeached the
testimony of Smith by saying that the
reputation of the father and son both
VAS bad. He said that e. l.. Perkins
reputation was above par.
