DEFENSE HAS A GOOD EXPLANATION
Congressman WamsOns Partner the Sheep Business Dr.
Van Gesner, Says He Merely Loaned Money to
Entrymen Without Interest.

OORTLAND. July 14-Dr. Van Ges-
ner, cO-defendant with Congress-
man John Newton Williamson and
United States Commissioner Biggs in
the trial for suborns ton of perjury
supplemented by the testimony of two
minor witnesses, presented the first
evidence for the defense before Judge
De Haven in the circuit court this
forenoon. The other Witnesses were NJ.
E Brink and IsOm Cleek the latter a
saloon keeper. and both of PrineViIIe
The substance of their testimony was
that they had herd two or three of the
entrymen say they had no contract
with Gesner and Williamson.
Gesner's Story.
DR.. GeSner was the star witness. The
gist of his story was that he had been
driven from his leased ranges by the
Sheep war and had been forcd 70
other pastures. He had consulted with
Attorneys Biggs and Barnes, and was
assured by them that he had a per-
feet right to loan money on timber
claims. He then made known his de-
sire to acquire more range and offered
to loan money on claims, taking a
mortgage without interest, so long as
he was allowed to use the range for
his sheep.

SILK THIEVES CAUGHT
Thousands of Dollars Worth of Valu-
able Goods Stolen in Vicinity
of Chicago.

Chicago, July IA-That band of silk
thieves. whose operations have resulted
in plumber valued at $25,O0O. are making
Chicago their headquarters, and that
stolen silks are being systematically sold
through a fence" in this city is the
belief of the police. The burglaries be
lieved to have been committed by the
gang have occurred within a radius OF 300
miles of Chicago, principally in Wiscon-
sin, Illinois and Indiana. TelegraInS from
the police of many towns have been re-
ceived telling of many murglaries COM
mitted in country stores and department
stores Of larger cities, in which valuable
silks have been stolen The police of the
following places. among others, have
within the past few days notified the
Chicago authorities regarding operations
of the band supposed to have headquaT-

DR. Gesner averred again and again
with reference to various enJryInen
whose names were mentioned that he
loaned them money, but that he had
in no way made or entered into any
contract, agreement or understanding,
directly. indirectly or otherwise, to
purchase any of their claims upon their
going to patent. He wanted the range,
he said, and loaned the money and
took the mortgage to procure it.
DR.. Gesner's memory failed to con-
meet Congressman Williamson with
meetings and conversations in which
some of the witnesses for the govern
ment testified he had a part.
Stuck to His Story.
Although District Attorney Heney sub
jected DR. GeSSner to a most critical
cross examination the testimony of the
latter was but little shaken, he sticking
very closely to the story told on direct
examination DIT. GeSSneT made several
admissions this afternoon that will be OF
value to the government in summing up
its case, but altogether cross eXamina-
ton was not as fruitful of results as the
government desired if surface indications
are of value
Marion R. Biggs. land commissioner, this
afternoon added his testimony for the de-
Tense. He followed closely the line OF
testimony elected from Dr. Gessner under
direct examination Biggs will be sub
jected TO cross examination tomorrow.
