MONTANA
SHORES sDlsHARMENr CASE

Some Sensational Evidence Produced In
court--Is 'HImseey' HeInze7
BUTTE, MONT.-Once more the cele-
brated "Himseey" telegram entered In
the hearing Of the Shores disbarment case.
The testimony of Henry A. Frank, who
was an unwilling witness, claiming that
he was O'Farrells attorney when any
conversations about the telegram took
place, was strong and startling. Mr..
Frank said that his feelings towards
O'FarreL were of disgust and that he has
not had any use for him since he heard
him perfume himself on the stand and
swear that he knew nothing of that tele-
gram. When the witness made that state
ment O'Farren, who had changed his
seat and was then behind Mr.. Breen,
turned perfectly livid. After refusing
to testify to what O'Farrell said to him,
on the ground that he considered it priv
ileged conversation between attorney and
client, Henry "A. Frank made this start
ling statement which, If true, convicts
O'Farrell Of perjury, and proves the au-
thenticity Of the celebrated telegram and
indicates the intent of "Himseey will
take care Of you." meaning, according to
the Interpretation, Heinze. On the re-
fusal of Frank to answer, Mr.. Wallace,
who was conducting the examination.
stated that he would prove that the wit
ness was not the attorney Of O'Farrell
at that time and would then ask. the
court to compel an answer to the Ques-
lions. Mr.. Wallace brought in O'Far
relrs sworn statement in a case in which
he was defendant, and the witness plain
tiff, for the collection of fees In which
OFarrell said that Frank was not his
attorney. Up to this time, the prosecu-
ton had nothing to say. Another point
brought out was that Mrs. Brackets
account at one mercantile establishment
for less than a year was $1,217.44, with
s139.74 still unpaid. That her salary with
Heinze's company was $3.50 month and
that she was expected to pay her own Of
flee and home expenses. Mrs. Wallace,
female detective, was overcome by her
emotions over County Attorney Breen's
questioning as to her responsibility, burst
into tears and putting her hands to her
face sobbed aloud. 1t was fully Ave min
utes before she could recover her self
possession.

at the end of thin clothes line, the body
of John Hunega, a Hollander, was found
| in his barn In Little Holland, a village
about fifteen miles from here, Monday
| noon. A letter clutched in the fingers Of
the corpse revealed the motive Of
| Hunega's rash deed. The fatal missive
was from the suicides sweetheart across

aged and enfeebled mother in Holland and
| come to America and marry Hunega,
caused the latter to kill himself.
