DEFENSE SCORES A POINT

Boise, Idaho, Sept. 81. The first
sensation of the trial here of Senator
William f. Borah came late yesterday
when Albert X. Lanop Nugent, the
second witness produced by the gov
eminent admitted on cross-examina.
ton thai he committed perjury in TAX.
ing out a timber land claim; admitted
that he had been promised immunity
by an officer Of the federal govern
ment for testifyins; that at the
request of the federal officer he had
wor to a complaint against a man
whom he did not know. and lastly
proclaimed hat he believed it to be
the part Of his bargain for immunity
that he should swear to any complaint
knowledge that he might have as to
the persons guilt.
Forgets Officers Name.
When the name of the federal Off
Ger who induced him to sign the COM
plant was asked by Senator Borah's
counsel the witness swore that he
could mo- remember 1T.
The day was given to the introduce
ton of a mass Of paper on FIVE in the
land office here at Boise and to the ev-
idence of two men who said they re-
ceived money from John !. Wells with
which to prove their timber claims.
Wells is one of the men indicted with
Senator Borah. Counsel for the latter
did not object to this testimony on the
understanding that the transaction in
question would ultimatel. be connect
ed in some way with the senator.
The defense scored its first point
early in the examination of the first
witness, a man named Anderson. He
was asked by Special Prosecutor Rush
what his intent was c'hen he look out
a timber cE; i'm.
Defense Scores Point.
Judge Whiteson sustained an objec'
ton based on the ground that a man
c%onfessing perjury, as Anderson did,
could not properly testify as to any Sc.
cret intent he may have had. Ander.
son and Nugent both testified that
they received from John Wells $412
with which to prove their claims. and
each received $3.50 additional in trans,
ferring the claims to the Barber Lum'
Der company. Two bills given to the
men by wells and a letter from Wells
to Nugent were admitted i'll evidence.
Anderson was not cross-eXamined, but
Nugent admitted that he had made no
agreement to transfer his lands at
the time he filed upon them. He said
that there eve was anything but a
verbal agreement and he could not
remember where or in whose presence
such a compact was made.

low this city. A freight train had just
taken a siding for the express. The
passenger train, however, failed to
pass I'VE the switch and crashed into
the frelsnt.
The wreck was due, it is said, to the
failure of an operator to throw a
switch.
The west-bound freight had received
orders to meet the passenger at the
western limits of the Bellaire yards
and was moving slowly along the sid
ing. AT the point where the wreck &C.
CURED there Is a very sharp curve
which prevents the engineers of east
bound trains from seeing more than a
few feet ahead. The passenger train
swung around the curve very rapidly,
being three hours late and should have
gone on in safety on the main line.
The switch to the siding, however, had
not been turned and the train shot
onto the siding and into the freight.
There was scarcely time to apply the
brakes and no time for the enginemen
to jump. The two big engines were re-
duced to junk by the impact.

another hunt yesterday for a trail to
the l~ong-sought books of the Standard

records of the Standard Oil trustees
or the %liquidating trustees, showing the
various transfers of stock in the trust
