Appeal Taken But YER

PORTLAND, July 10.-Marion r.
Biggs, formerly United States COM
missioner at Prineville, who was con-
victed in the federal court of conspira-
cy to suborn perjury, was locked UP
in the county Jail Monday. says the
Telegram, to serve a sentence of 10
months Imprisonment. Biggs asked
to have the order changed so that he
could serve his sentence in the Crook
county jail, near his farm, but Judge
Wolverton refused to disturb the pre-
vious order entered by Judge Hunt,
and so the convicted man will have to
remain in custody of Sheriff Stevens.
Biggs will be confined in cell i'm
mediately off the Jail dining room and
will occupy it Jointly with DR.. Van
Gesner who is convicted with him and
is under sentence of five months i'm
prisonment. Gesner has not been APP
pretended, although the order of COM
mitment was issued for him July 8,
and United States Marshal Reed said
today that he was not Informed as to
his whereabouts. Biggs will be &C
corded the same privileges at the
county jail usually accorded federal
prisoners, but no more.
Biggs was convicted at the April
term of the United States circuit court
in 1905, along with DIR. Gesner and
Congressman Williamson. The charge
was conspiracy to suborn perjury. and
the testimony showed that the three
had conspired to procure applicants to
make false and perjured statements
regarding the purposes for which they
wanted government land. The testi-
mony showed a scheme to turn the
land over to Gesner, and Williamson
after the issuance of patent,
Francis ]. Heney prosecuted the
case. The jury disagreed twice, but
Heney was persistent. and on the
third trial he secured verdict Of gull
ty. During one of the trials Biggs be.
, came violently "sick," but a threat or
Heney's part to ask for forfeiture Of
his bond brought Biggs from the sici
bed and the trial continued.
Biggs and Gesner appealed to the
United States circuit court of appeals
where, few months ago, a decision
was rendered sustaining the convic.
ton. A motion for a rehearing wa!
