JUSTICE HOOKER ON STAND
Former Congressman Says He Never
PrOhted by Deals in New York
POstOmces,

ALBANY, N. Y, July 1s.-Former Con-
gresham Warren B. Hooker was volun-
tary witness today at his trial before the
joint legislature on charges growing out
of the postal investigation. Justice
Hooker, whose career in congress ceased
In 1895 said that 1t was the custom in
many districts for retiring congressman to
have the postoffice patronage. He spoke
feelingly of the vast number of requests
that come to a congressman. Many Of
his constituent. said he, regarded him as
an errand boy between them and the de-
partments.
In the charges against Justice Hooker
it is alleged that Frank p. Ball of Dun
kirk was given position in the Fredonia
postofice at the solicitation of Hooker;
that Ball never performed any service and
that his salary was applied to nquidating
notes given by Ball and endorsed by Jus
tice Hookers wife.
The witness asserted that neither he nor
his wife loaned dollar directly TO Ball.
Mrs Hooker went on his notes only as an
accommodation endorser.
The fact that Ball was not doing any
work in the Fredonia postofice, the wit
ness averred was never brought to his
notice nor did he ever have any conversa-
ton with Ball or arrangement by which
Ball was to do no work and was to apply
the salary toward the payment of the
notes.
OF his nephew, Maurice Hooker. he said
he never knew that young Hooker, who
had position as laborer in the Fredonia
postofhce was not actually doing the work.
II never paid a dollar" said the witness,
''of the money which Postmaster Taylor
of Fredonia restored to the government for
Balls and Hooker's salaries"

AERoNAUT DROPS TO DEATH
DanieI MaIoney Falls Four Thousand
Feet at santa Clara, CAL
fOrniR.

SAN JOSE, Cal, July lS-Daniel Ma
loney. who had made numerous successful
ascensions with Prof. Montgomery's aero
plane. fell 5000 feet to his death at Santa
Clara today.
Maloney made an ascension from the
grounds of Santa Clara college In honor Of
the League of the Cross cadets, who are
holding their annual encampment. About
900 persons watched with interest the
machine as It shot up from the college
garden attached TO a huge balloon. At a
height OF 1900 feet Maloney cut loose and
began maneuvering the aeroplane. He
circled gracefully about, then essayed a
deep dip Suddenly the machine swerved,
hesltated and then turned completely over.
II righted itself, sank down considerable
distance and turned over again. Maloney
was clinging desperately 10 his seat and
evidently endeavoring TO regain his con-
troll. but all his efforts were in vain. Again
the aeroplane turned in the air, the wings
came together and the man and machine
plunged straight downward while the hor-
rihed spectators gazed helplessly.
A number OF cadets carried him to the
college hospital His head was fractured
and blood was flowing from his ears and
mouth. He expired within a short time.
The aeroplane was ground to fragments.

WILLIAMSON CASE TO JURY
Council for the Defense Decides TO
Make Mo Ar~um,fet- 2rdict
Not Yet Reachea.

PORTLAND, Ore, July lS.-The trial OF
Congressman Williamson, Gessner and
Briggs, charged with subornation of
perjury. in connection with government
lands. came to a sudden and unexpected
close today when the counsel for the de-
fense announced their decision to submit
the case without argument. District At
torney Heney, who had concluded his argu-
ment to the jury consented to this arrange
ment and the case went to the jury, which
at late hour tonight is still deliberating
Judge DeHavens charge to the jury was
brief and comprehensive. The Judge said
that IL was not necessary to show that
conspiracy had been accomplished, for even
If It failed, the defendants might be
guilty of the crime. Neither was 1t neces-
sarv TO show any stated agreement In
short the idea he conveyed was that If
Williamson, Gessner and Briggs advanced
money with the idea that the lands after
they came to patent were to belong to the
firm of Williamson & Gessner, there was
conspiracy. II, on the other hand, there
was a reasonable doubt on this point, then
there should be no conviction. He also
stated that there must be two of the de-
PENDANTS and not necessarily all three con-
nected with the crime or no conspiracy
could exist.
At the conclusion of Judge DeHaven's
charge the jury at S:l5 o'clock retired to
deliberate.
