ONE DEFENDANT
PLEADED GUILTY
Day of Surprises in the Land
Fraud Cases.
DEFENSE HAD NO EVIDENCE

ARGUMENT.

/ OORTLAND. Ore, Dec. 3--Prolifc in
surprises and sensations as have

! fraud cases, none was prepared for the
clamixes of today. BY far the most
important. both because Of its unex-
pectedness and because of the moral

/ Frank WalgamOt, through his attor-
ney for leave to withdraw his plea of

charged. Judge Bellinger took the mat
/ ter under Idvisement
Almost lua!ly unexpected was the
request or the part OF the special pros
eoutor, FL ncis J. Heney. that an or
der of acQuittal De issued in the case
of Marie L. Ware on the ground that
the prosecution did not believe that
she, according to the evidence. had
/ been proven guilty of aiding the pres
ent conspiracy
OF hardly less surprise was the an
nOuncement not more than twenty
minutes after the government had
completed its case. by the defense that
il rested and that the case was ready
for argument by counsel.
The defense only offered explanations
in behalf of two of their counsel and
had nothing for the defendants who for
two weeks have listened TO a chain Of
circumstances by which the prosecu-
ton confidently expects to convict
them of conspiracy to defraud the
government out Of a portion of the
public domain.
Apparently despsiring of undertaking
10 batter down the mass of evidence
which the government has hea ped
against them they are to base their
hopes on an argument 10 the jury. and
if that fails, on d reversal of judgment
at the hands Of an appellant tribunal
on question of law.
Offered Little Testimony.
Nothing in the nature of a defense
of Mckinley. Butter, Ware Watson and
the others was attempted by the de-
PENDANTS counsel Judge O'Day and
Charles A. Hardy took the stand to
swear that J. 4. W Heidecke's testi-
mony yesterday in reference to having

take. Hardy declared he positively
knew that he was not in Albany the
day this witness testified To having
seen him there.
Judge Bellinger announced when the
case rested that he had no disposition
10 limit the arguments of the counsel
and when court adjourned until >
