Shadow of a Case,

Especial Dispatch to the Morning journal I
Santa Fe, N. M, Aug. 30-That the
government hasn't a solitary leg to
stand on is in effect the position of
Attorney General A. B. Fall in his ar
gument today before Judge Abbott, of
the Second district court on the de-
murrer entered by the territory in the
land fraud cases. Judge Fall made a
lengthy argument in which he assert
ed in the most positive terms that the
prosecution has not the shadow os a
case against the defendants. Ic
The argument in the cases consum-
ed the forenoon and a large part Of
the afternoon. Former Attorney Cen
eral Prichard appeared as his own at
torney Ormsby McHarg, special as
sistant to the United States attorney
general was to have appeared for the
government, but owing to indispos-
tion was unable to appear, and will
present his argument later before
Judge Abbott. sitting in albuquerque,
probably on Monday E. w. Dobson,
of Albuquerque, Is also of counsel for
the defendants.
Judge Fall asserted that not a slls-
picion Of fraud attaches to the terri
tory or to the other defendants, the
American Lumber company, Clark M.
Carr Alpheus A. Keen, Miguel A.
Otero or George W. Prichard, in con-
nection with the timber land sales
which the government seeks to set
aside He alleged that the territory
could not be sued without it's consent
and that the assistants to the attorney
general the attorney general of the
United States himself nor the secreta-
ry of the interior had authority or
power to bring such suits. He denied
that the court had jurisdiction, and
declared after the lands in question
had passed into the hands of the ter
ritory the government had nothing
more to do with them. "The prose-.
cution has absolutely no case" said
Judge Fall. Mr., Fall talked for three
hours closing at $500 He was fol-
lowed by Colonel Prichard, who fol-
lowed somewhat the same line of ar
gument.

ture which showed up above the wa
ter near the shore to ascertain If any
of the unfortunate workmen were inn
prisoned in the mass of twisted steel
None were found alive.
Both the provincial and dominion
authorities have taken steps to inves-
tigate the cause of the disaster and fix
the responsibility. Some of the work
men who escaped from the falling
structure are inclined to the belief
that the pier gave way under the tre-
mendous strain of the overhanging
steel work. W. f. Davis. the contrac-
tor who built the stonework of the
piers, after a hasty examination, ex-
pressed the opinion that this was an
impossibility, the piers being found in
good condition.
A locomotive and several cars
loaded with steel girders were moving
out on the bridge when the structure
collapsed Engineer Jess. who went
into the river with his locomotive but
was rescued by boat from the
steamer Glenmont, said the steel work
overhanging the river. was the first
to show signs of weakness. He shut off
steam at the first sign of weakness, but
the train continued to move on toward
the end of the bridge, which began 10
totter. A moment later the engine and
cars plunged into the river below. OF
the four men on the train, only the
engineer escaped with his life.
