POLICE SAY PAWNBROKER
RECEIVED STOLEN GOODS
Morris Church, Arrested for Many
Crimes, Says III. Carr Acted


as Fence
With the arrest of Morris Church.
alias Bernard Spies, by Detectives
Ryan and Taylor the police claim TO
have brought to light a hitherto un-
known fence" in the person of H.
Carr. a pawnbroker at 5l6 Dupont
street
Church is wanted for stealing $3.50
worth Of silk and shawls from Miss b.
Lindner Of 1150 Guerrero street on De-
cember IL, 1903: for deserting from
Troop A, Fifteenth Cavalry, L. S. A,
on November 20 of the same year; for
swindling several sporting goods firms
out Of revolvers, and for victimizing
two photo supply houses out of valu-
able cameras.
Carr's connection with the case grew
out Of the arrest several days ago of
Seymour Miller of 1927 Minturn street,
who was endeavoring to sell one of the
stolen cameras. When arrested he said
he had purchased the instrument from
Carr. The pawnbroker denied all knowl-
edge of the sale, but later admitted he
had made it. Church upon being ar
rested confessed he had sold his loot
to Carr and that the latter said he
would secure him a position in a hard
ware store, where IS worth of goods
could be stolen daily and the proceeds
Of their sale could be divided between
them.
Carr will be arrested to-day on
charges of receiving stolen goods and
failure to make an entry in his books.

in 1903 the department had suspended
all selections of lieu lands in which
the defendants were interested. Still
later an order had been made sus-
pending all selections in which Cali
fornia or Oregon school lands were
offered as base" of exchange.
All the attorneys for the defense
took turns in questioning Fimple
again when 'Heney had finished with
him. The witness readily admitted
that he had never met Hyde or Di-
mond at Washington, but refused to
admit that many of the acts with
which they are charged were regular
and in accordance with the usual
practice of attorneys of good standing
with the department. In closing his
testimony he made the interesting
statement that owing to the rapid in
crease in the business of the land Of
fee and in the Improvement in it's
methods the receipts during the last
fiscal year were $4,60O,000 in excess
of those of the previous twelvemonth.
NEGATIVE WITNESSES.
Thomas McCusker, contracting
lIClSul aScnl VI Tic OOulHcTn
at Portland, Ore, one of the Grand
Jury witnesses for the Government
was then called for the defense. All
he was asked about was whether he
had any oral or written communica-
ton with either Hyde or Dimond. He
said no. Then Heney undertook. on
cross-examination, to bring out the
fact that the witness knew another
member of the alleged conspiracy
Joost II. Schneider-but the Commits
sioner sustained McEnerneys objection
to the question. j. Knox Corbett. post
master at Tucson, AriZ., was the anext
Grand Jury witness called by NMc-
Enerney, and exactly the same process
of question, answer, cross question,
objection and ruling was gone through
with. Corbett knew Schneider and tes-
titled against him at Washington, but
counsel for Hyde and Dimond contend
that. their clients are not bound by
acts of Schneider or testimony against
him. So Corbett was excused. The
Tucson postmaster Is an old friend of
Government Counsel Heney, their
friendship dating back to the days
when the latter was Attorney General
of Arizona, and even to earlier times,
for they were cowboys together in their
younger days.
The last witness for the day was
d. Alexander, a searcher of titles at
Portland, Ore, who also testified be-
fore the Grand Jury as to acts of
Schneider. SO his evidence yesterday
amounted to no more than that. of
McCusker ard Corbett The hearing

CHARGES OLD CRIME.

AS q matter OF course, replied
Heney, 1.-The indictment must allege d
conspiracy within the last three years
in order to come within the statute of
limitations, but we shall show that in
fact the defendants first began con-
spring to defraud the Government
many years before the date set forth
in the indictment. Where there is evil
dence of q conspiracy we have the
right to show similar acts prior to the
crime charged"
The instructions offered were ad-
mitted by the Commissioner as We're
many other documents of like char
acter presented later under similar OBJ,
jections from the defense.
McEnerney asked that the Govern
ment be ordered to produce all alb
stracts of title and deeds of relinquish-
ment covering the selections named in
the thirty-four counts of the indict-
ment Heney at once countered with
an offer to admit that the relinquish-
ments were in proper form, If the Sc
lector offering the lands to the Govern
ment was actually the owner of those
lands. McEnerney, however, was to3
shrewd to be caught and he declined
the offer, while his associate, Bert
Sohlesinger, made formal demand for
the original deeds and other papers.
saying: The indictment charges the
defendants with giving the Government
forged and fraudulent titles. We want
light on what we have forged
But Heney refused to give up the
documents and the Commissioner de-
clined to grant the order compelling
him to do so. Then a variety of ques-
tions-the reason for not publishing
proposed Withdrawals, rules to pre-
vent spectators from obtaining ad-
vance information of such contemplate
ed reserves, the regulations of the
land office making all information
and communications regarding pro-
posed reserves private and confiden-
tial, and many other matters of like
character-were threshed out with the
aid of the assistant commissioners
full knowledge of the subject and his
clear. precise statements of law and
practice in the Interior Department.
HINTS AT DUPLICATION.
A pretty row arose over Heney's at
tempt to call out evidence limiting that
the defendants had tried to palm off
the same lands on the Government
twice In exchange for lieu lands. but
after the lawyers had wrangled long
over the questions and the Commits
sioner had overruled the objections of
the defense. Fimple could only say,
Il understand that such attempts were
made" The answer was stricken out
as hearsay. Heney will probably re-
call Chief Examiner Walk and question
him on this point, for. it is alleged.

sioner Heacock. AS before, they were
called at the instance of defendants,
Hyde and Dimond, and questioned by
their attorneys to bring out facts con-

examination the Government counsel
succeeded in getting on the record some
matters leading UP to the bribery
charge, which they may attempt to
prove later.
John H. Fimple, assistant commits
sioner of the General Land Office, was
recalled to the stand in the morning
for further oss-examination and told
in detail of the instructions given forest
superintendents, supervisors and other
agents of the office relating to the Sc
lection Of lands for withdrawal as for

ing as far back as 1891 were offered In
evidence by Francis ]. Heney, special
counsel for the Government. These
documents were objected to by Garret

my word, they do L. too. They take

men do. and Join political clubs and
attend political meetings and discuss
the situations and conditions as in

last year OF so hat they have voted in
federal elections, but they have had
suffrage in colonial politics for years.
