MONTE TRIAL IS ON
CONTINUED from page 81

As the prosecution proceeded with
the chain Of evidence which they are
weaving around Charles Monte, it looks
more and more like the state had a
much stronger case against him than
was at first supposed. The star witness
so far was a convict, Jim Norris who
testified that while he and Monte were
in Jail at Pendleton, the latter con.
fessed to him that he knew who helped
Tracy and Merrill to escape, and that
after they were transferred to the pen
itentiary he told him all about it, How
that Wright and Monte carried the
guns over the wall, while a man by the
name Of Ryan stood on guard outside
Of the wall. Ryan is the third man
that was supposed to be in the plot,
and whom the officers have failed to 10.

identified Monte as the man to whom
he sold the two 3O-3O rifles, that were
alleged to have been used by Tracy and
Merrill in making their break. All eff
forts to break down the testimony of
any of the witnesses by the attorneys
for the defense were futile.

Monte as the man who came TO her

was on intimate terms with both

DEEP
In THE
TOLLS
Heney WeaveS a Tangled Web
About Eastern Oregon
Congressman

Especial to the Daily Capital Journal.
Portland, July H. Examination of
the witnesses of the prosecution in the
Williamson land fraud cases continues.
The evidence offered tends to show i'm.
piled contracts between entrymen and
defendants to turn their lands over
when the final proofs were made.
J. N. Williamson felt the first direct
breath of the governments case
against him yesterday afternoon, when
John 8. Watkins testified in the feder-
al court that he had met the congress.
man in the woods near Prineville, and
that Williamson had taken his daybook
from him and entered in IL the descrip-
tions Of the land he desired him and his
wife and brother-in-law to file upon
under an implied contract to deliver
the claims to the firm as soon as pat
entcd. The witness further testified to
his tacit contract with the firm Of Will.
Hanson & Gesner, and to his intention
to pay for the fling fees and other ex-
penses incident to securing the claim
out Of his own money, in order that he
might thus avoid illegality, and keep
himself clear Of the law. 1t was the
first Tightening of the web which the
prosecution promises to weave around
the three defendants. 4
The rest Of the session Of the after
noon, delayed as IL was by the argu-
ment upon the Mitchell motion for
new trial, followed the lines shown by
the witnesses Of the preceding days.
Henry r. Beard, the mountaineer who
confessed on the previous day Of trial
how he had perjured himself before
United States Commissioner Biggs, in
order TO file upon the claim as set out
in his implied contract with Gesner,
was recalled to the stand for the rest
of his cross-examination by Judge Ben
nett. The evidence Of the witness was
a repetition Of that in his direct exam
ination brought out under the cross
fire Of the defense.
This witness was followed by Frank
Ray, whose tale was similar to the
others already told. He had been in
duced to take up a timber claim
through Green Beard, his fatherin-law,
who, in turn, had been persuaded by
Biggs and Gesner. His story was in the
main a repetition Of those told by 9TH
or witnesses.
Ray was followed by Frank s. Wat
kins, who brought tho name Of Mr..
Williamson into the case for the first
time, but whose story was otherwise
tho same as those that had been told
before. He had seen Biggs and had
agreed to take up claims and TO induce
some of his relatives TO do the same.
He had been forced to relinquish, and
had been summoned to appear before
the grand jury, That was about the
whole of his story.
wilford j. Crane, young man, was
before the eyes of the jury when the
hammering of the property man in the
corridor forced the court TO adjourn
for the day, in hopes that the noise
would cease. Crane apparently has the
same story to tell, Of how he met
Biggs, was seduced by the promise of
$75, and joined others in fling on tim
Der land. His tale commences the same
as the rest of those already unfOlded,
and promises nothing new

conformed with German ideas OF pro-

she delayed her departure and let

in a few days. The crown prince
seeing the awkwardness Of the situa'
tion arising from the absence OF his
fiance's mother and the delay in her
arrival, wrote to the emperor for ai-
vice. The emperor telegraphed:
