SAYS HE PAID MITCHELL MONEY.
Convicted Man Makes Serious Charges
Against Oregon's Senator,

dispatch from Portland, Ore. last night
says: S. A. D, Puter, recently convicted
IN this city with Horace G. Mckinley Dan
lei L. Tarpley and Mrs. Emma Watson of
conspiracy to defraud the United States
government of lands. made a statement to-
day in contradiction of statements issued
by United States Senator Mitchell indicted
on Saturday last by a federal grand jury
On evidence similar to that presented at the
criminal trial of the persons recently con-
victed.
When l said that I gave Senator Mitch
ell S2.00e to use his influence with Binger
Hermann to expedite those claims in III"
said Puter, Il told the truth, ard Senator
Mitchell knows it.
4 gave Senator Mitchell 81 coo to get
those patents through. and L will say that
l never regretted telling anything so much
In my life as the fact that Senator Mitchell
took the money. l never told a living soul
In my life till | gave the details to Mr..
Heney. l never told it to Mckinley or
Tarpley, my partners in these deals. L
kept an entry book in which L made ell
tries of every cent spent in connection with
getting these lands to patent. All the costs
of filing were entered. well as railroad
fares, etc. The only entry 1 made of thin
money given to Mitchell was $1,000. L.
Mckinley may have had an idea of his own
where that money went, but l never TOLD
him.
Mitchell had no animation from as
to the fraudulent character of the entries
to this land. l never so much as intimated
it to him. But when Hermann gave me to
understand that the land was down and
out, and that the matter would have to be
referred back to Oregon City land office, /
went to Senator Mitchell, and told him that
these patents would have to go through,
for the reason that if they were referred
back to the Oregon Office the whole thine
would be lost. l told him that the entry
men were scattered. and that 1t would be
impossible to get them together.
Il laid two $1,000 bills on the table.
Mitchell said that it was too much. l was
desperate over desire to get the patents
through, and told him to take it and do
what he could to influence the commission
er Representative Hermann) to take the
claims up and get the patents issued. l
knew that as United States senator
Mitchell would have lot of influence with
the land office. and I was willing to pay
that amount to have the patents issued.
Il knew the special agents had made d
report from the lands, but from the nature
OF the report had no means of knowing.
and was at loss to know why Commits
sioner Hermann threw the claims out. l
do not know to this day why he did it, but
when he told me the last time l was before
him that the lands would have to go back
to the Oregon City land office, l went TO see
Mitchell at once All 1 know of Mr.. Her
mann is that after the money was paid to
Mitchell and l had given him inducement
tc make a good hard talk, that Hermann
changed his mind. Why he did it did not
know and would not presume to say.

as an attraction. Mr. Williams also stated
that the colt would not be raced again until
the Crescent City derby, and that he would

Tried to Work a Ringer"

A cablegram from London says that at
ing at Edinburgh yesterday, owing to the
enormous amount of money that was wag-
cred upon a runner, entered as Harry
James Scott of Edinburgh, the officials
doubted his credentials. Accordingly JUS
tice of the peace was brought to the in
closure where the games were being held
and the alleged Scott was required to maxi
a sworn declaration that he was Harry
James Scott of Edinburgh. He then ad-
mitted that he was an American. Notice
was thereupon posted disqualifying him
from further participat ton in the handicap.
His hackers, who are unknown demanded
an explanation and declared that Scott
would run today and that nothing but re-
volvers would stop him. The Yankees
who are backing him stood to win $4,000
