Says Federal officials Kne1o Of
Perjury an Benson Case.

Charges that caused a stir in court were made
yesterday by Frank II. Platt at the preliminary
hearing of John A Benson, the wealthy California
land owner before United States Commissioners
Shields in the Federal Building. Mr.. Benson and
Frederick A. Hyde, of San Francisco. were jointly
indicted on two charges, for bribing federal OIL
Gals in Washington End for conspiracy in fraudu-
eutly obtaining title to government lands in Cali
fornia and Oregon. The alleged irregular methods
employed by Benson and Hyde caused the govern
ment to make investigation, and it alleged that
Benson paid money to Woodford A Harlan a
chief clerk in the United States Land once IN
Washington for information to the discoveries
made by the agents of the Land Office who were
making the investigation.
At a previous hearing before Commissioner
Shields, Harlan that he wrote letter 10

for 81 600 in cash 10 show Mr.. Benson the result OF

him the shorthand of the inquiry. After this
hearing an adjournment of several weeks was taken
to give the federal officials time to visit CALIFORNIA
and attend the preliminary examination of Hyde

merely asks where the writer can meet him on an
important matter. I want to prove by Harlan that

was not true. and 1 call upon District Attorney

adjournment until to-day, that some important
papers from California might have time 10 reach
the city.
