former president OF the Portland Gold MIn-
ing company last year, was discharged by
Judge 1horneli yesterday. In discharging
Hershey, Judge Thornell stated that while
the circumstances were undoubtedly some

to warrant holding the defendant. Previ-
ously curing the hearing yesterday morn

rot consider anything but Jail sentence.
There is still pending against Hershey

Of Justice Gardiner. which was taken by
the defense on change of venue to the
court OF Justice Field. At the close OF
the hearing before Judge Thornell, .Attor-
ney Harl, counsel for Hershey, proposed

IL he had paid Hershey 500. to which he
replied in the affirmative, and in answer
to the inquiry where he got the money, re-
piled: Burns gave 1t to me to give 10
Hershey" Nothing was asked of the wit
ness why or for what the money was paid
to Hershey.
Attorney /. n. Flickinger was recalled
to the stand and examined further as to
the letters he was alleged 10 have written
Hershey. He testified that ne wrote to
Hershey telling him he was coming &c
Colorado and asking him if Burns was in
