ctment. The objection was over

indictment. The objection was over
ruled.
This is one of several similar cases
in which the defendants are charged
with having accepted money from ap-
plicants for patents for extra work or
work out of office hours. it being un-
derstood by the applicant that the
money was for the payment of the
clerks of the office so engaged out of
hours. In this case the applicant was
Emma A. Miller of Pima county who
had presented three mineral surveys
and paid in addition to the regular
official fees the sum OF $3.50 for extra
work.
The statement of the attorney for the
government to the jury was as objected
to fer the reason that ii contained facts
not set forth in the Indictment 1t was
modified to meet the objections. The
commissions of Mr.. Price as survey
or general were offered in evidence over
the objection of the attorney for the
defense. The first and only witness
of the day was George Christ, jr., the
head of the mineral department in the
office of the surveyor general and
which position he occupied also dur
ing the administration of Mr.. Price
The evidence of Mr.. Christ consisted
in the offering of a record of the min
eral surveys mentioned in the indict-
ment and the verification Of the sig
nature of former Surveyor Gen. Price
He was not asked as to who had per-
formed the work in these cases. as
to who received the money. and as
to whether the work had been done
out of office hours. Altogether his tes-
timony was designed only to support
the preliminary facts alleged in the
| Indictment.
AT o'clock an adjournment was
taken until this morning. In anticipa-
tion of the trial of all the cases the
members of the venire of sixty-five
except those constituting the trial jury
