SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALI

SFLClAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1s.-Sensa-
tonal developments marked the sec
ond day of the trial of Representative
Binger Hermann, former Comrnis-
sioner Of the Land Office, on the
charge of destroying public records.
The proceedings had little more than
started when counsel for the defense
set up such strong objection to the
/ line Of evidence being presented tha,
the whole machinery OF the court was
. brought to an abrupt standstiIl and
prominent members of the bar not
personally interested in the conduct of
the case were heard to predict that the
ultimate result may be the quashing of
the entire case against Hermann.
The opening statement to the Jury on
behalf OF the Government was made
by Assistant District Attorney Jesse
D Adkins. much OF whose time for
the last two years has been devoted
TO preparation OF the land fraud cases.
Unlike his predecessors in Office.
we viii show" said Adkins. that BinE-
er Hermann, when he assumed the Of
fee OF Commissioner Of the General
Land onhce. did not permit all of the
mail received at that Office to 20
. thloush the regular channels, but By
his order every letter which bore the
postmark OF his native State. Oregon.
was placed on his desk The nissives
were on widely diverse subjects. some
OF them being OF a personal nature and
connected with the defendants per-
sonal affairs. Most Of the letters were
OF an official nature. but he answered
them all
BY Mr. Hermann's order the Office
was provided with letter press COPY
books. and the letters emanatinE from
his private Office, whatever their ma
pture, were copied in these books be-
. fore being sent out In the course Of
i years these copybooks accumulated. un-
til in January, 1903. there were thirty
five Of them.
we viii show that the motive Of Mr..
. Hermann in destroying the books. after
his resignation had been demanded by
Secretary Of the Interior Hitchcock,
was to cover up any evidence contained
! in his correspondence with those per
sons in the West who were accused
: OF the land frauds which might serve
70 involve him in the matter"
: Attorney worthington, for the de-
fense, made the point that the indict-
ment found by the Grand Jury related
merely to the destruction Of certain
: books and not to any specific pages or
; records therein
The court ruled that the point OF the
defense was apparently well taken. Dis
trict Attorney Baker accordingly re-
( ouested permission TO file an amended
bill OF particulars, but to this the de-
fense again objected. In this status
the case rested. pending arguments for
and against hIing the amended bill to-
morrow.

The testimony of DR.. Evans was in

had been circulated for months and
which reflected seriously upon Evelyn
Nesbit as we'll as Stanford White. The
testimony of DIR. Evans set forth in
detail the results of series of physical
examinations of Harry Thaw made dur
ing the eight visits to Thaw's cell in
the Tombs last summer.

DR.. John T. Deemar of Kittanning,

of the mental condition of John Ross.

Jerome objected to the question on
the ground that the relationship was
too remote to permit the drawing of
deductions as to hereditary insanity.
Both question and witness were with
drawn temporarily.
DR.. Evans detailed the results of his
various examinations and physical tests
in his visits to the defendant following
the tragedy. He declared that there
was depression in the back of Thaw's
head of most unusual character.
Evans said Thaws pulse action was
the most extraordinary he had ever
encountered. The pulse would change
beat four times within one minute,
the variance being from twelve to
twenty-four beats. The pulse indi-
