larities in the drawing of the jury.

upon the cast wherein Senator Nit
chell is accused of accepting pay
through the law firm of Mitchell &
Tanner to expedite land titles before
the land department at Washington and
in behalf of Frederick \. Kribbs. A
demurrer was first filed, after stipula-
ting between the government and coun-
sci for the defense that the plea in
abatement should not be waived by the
filing of the demurrer.
Waive Legal TechnicaIities.
Judge Bennett, of The Dalles, as at
torney for Mitchell announced that
there was question of moral turpitude
involved in the case wherein Senator
Mitchell is accused of accepting $4,000
from a. d. Puter, and therefore he
would waive all legal technicaIities
and be ready to proceed to trial with
out delay upon the issues at stake.
Mitchell Pleads Not Guilty.
Judge Bennett entered a plea of not
guilty for the senator in three of the
cases against him-two for conspiracy
and one for accepting money while
holding the position of United States
senator-tO expedite title before the
land department.

ing will be given Friday.
