SENSATION IN HERMANN CASE
DIR. LOOMS Identifies Letters Relating
to Alleged Publication of
Accounts.

WASHINGTON, March 19-Dr. Clark f.
Ioomis, who is under indictment in ore
gon in what is known as the Hermann
Puter conspiracy case and also I'm
fencing case was the principal witness In
the Hermann trial here today. DR. Loomis
was produced by the government and his
testimony was regarded ~ important to
show, as United States Attorney Baker
said that Mr.. Hermann had reason to
destroy his letter books, for which he is
being tried.
Dr. Loomis said he had been a special
agent for the land office in oregon during
the administration of President Harrison
and was reinstated soon after President Nc
Kinley was inauguTated, having been out
during the Cleveland administration. He
was dismissed shortly after Mr.. Hermann
retired from the land office He Identified
about twenty-five letters which constituted
a correspondence between himself and Mr..
Hermann as commissioner. Nearly all Of
the letters Of Mr. Hermann, the witness
said, he had marked and regarded as per
sonal and confidential and learned for the
first time today that they had been placed
in the files of the land office The original
answers from Mr.. Hermann were secured
by the government from the papers OF DR..
alleged Justification OF accounts by DR..
LOOMS and in one letter he begged to be
allowed to resign.
Dr. Loomis admitted that he had held
up" S. A. d. Puter for $500 with which to
defend himself for certain reports he had
made on twelve Of Puter's homestead
claims and that he had previously received
a like amount from Puter as expense money
for examining and reporting on these
claims. Puter has been convicted in the
case, which is known as the Seven
Eleven" case. He is now here to testify for
the government at the present case.
On discrimination Dr. Loomis said he
had not informed Hermann that he received
this money.
IL would not have dareu to-" he ex-
claimed. II would have been glad enough
not to let anyone know about It,"
