TAMPERED WITH WITNESSES.
Charges Of Attempted Bribery Made
in Williamson Trial.

|. Portland, Or. July 11.-Sensational
charges that the defense in the case of
, the United States against Congress
man J. N. Williamson, DR.. Van Gesner
and Martin r. Biggs has tempered
with the witnesses of the prosecution
are being made. A direct question Sat
urday asked Green Beard, one of the
witnesses for the government, if he
has not been told that if he testified
right" there was money in it, was
headed off by the timely interference
of Judge Bennett, counsel for the de-
Tense. The objection was sustained by
the court.
A father and son, Green Beard and
Henry Beard. and employees of Will
hanson ard Gesner. testified that they
took claims With the assistance and
, suggestion of Gesner and with the un-
de"standing that upon final proof the
entrymen were to be paid SIS clear for
their rights.
A letter was introduced by District
Attorney Heney, written by DR.. Van
Gesner to Henry Beard, advising that
he relinQuish his timber claim taken
at Gesner's suggestion as Gesner
feared government investigation.
This letter said:
"The only thing to do is to relin-
quish our timber claim. The depart
ment has tip on the business. and |
have got to get out from under the
whole thing"
Both witnesses said they were in
duced by Gesner to file on lands ad.
joining the Gesner sheep ranch. The
elder Beard became uneasy and relin.
pushed his filing, Gesner paying him
back his fling fee. The son did not
take this advice and retained his land,
making final proof.
