of these counties he has been con-
fronted with heavy dockets, and 1t
has taken labor and ability aid fore
sight to keep the work in hand. one
who imasines the position Of solicitor
of the Eighth Circuit is an easy
berth, is very much mistaken. In none
Of the circuits in the state is the
work light, and the Eighth is one of
the heaviest.
During the year 1907 solicitor
Cooper disposed Of 29S cases. In 23|
Of these trials were had or pleas en-
tered. and 81 were discontinued or
otherwise disposed of. There were
169 convictions and 6S acquittals.
The bare figures convey but little
idea Of the immense amount OF work
which they represent, but the record
speaks for itself. In its making en-
erev and good management and abll-
itv cf a nigh order have been dis
played by Solicitor Cooper.
AS showing the amount of work
done in the Eighth Circuit during the
year 1907 the figures for the Fifth
Circuit. which includes the county OF
Richland, might be used in comparl-
son. In the Fifth Circuit 2S4 cases
-.
we're disposed of, Of which number 2ll
were tried. Of these trials 80 were
for murder as against 81 in the
Eighth Circuit. The Fifth Circuit
comprises the counties Of Richland,
Edeefeld Lexington, and Kershaw.
Laurens has furnished by far the
heaviest criminal dockets in the
Eighth Circuit. Judge Gage, who IS
presiding at the court in session here
now. gave some Interesting statistics
in his charge to the grand jury on
last Monday. In 1895, he. said, ae-
cording to the record furnished him
bv the clerk Of court, II true bills
we're found for murder in Laurens
county; 5 in 1899; II in 1900; Il IN
1901: s in 1902; II in 1908; 5 in
1904; II in 1905; Is in 1906, and y
in 1907. There were almost two homl-
cides to the month in Laurens county
during the year 1907, he said and the
aggregate number Of true bills tor
murder in ten years was l22. VI
that number Is we're convicted OF
murder, 81, Of manslaughter, and A
we're found not guilty. Of those
against whom true bills had been
found in ten years IS per cent we're
convicted and IS per cent were ac-
quilted.

ONE WITNESS
IS STUBBORN
DR.. A. H. HEDDERLY REFUSES TO
ANSWER QUESTIONS
OREGON LAND CASE PROVES
MORE SENSATIONAL
Government Now Hints at Perjury
and Fights for Documentary Evil
dence--fieney Not to Aid
Prosecution

Two marked changes developed yes
terday in the governments line of bat
tie In the oregon land fraud cases which
is being heard before United States
Commissioner Van Dyke at the federal
court.
The state is now limiting at perjury,
while it also is fighting to have docu-
mentary evidence brought into court
These two things are direct reversal
of proceedings heretofore existing In
the case.
DR.. A. H. Hedderly, who has fur
nished bonds to appear in another Ore
gon land case UP north at a later date,
and who was placed on the stand Tues
day afternoon, provided the days sens
alton yesterday.
AS witness for r. w. Kenny and
Warren Gillelen of the Broadway Bank
and Trust company of Los Angeles, ne
testified that these men had nothing TO
do with the financial interests OF the
Pacific Furniture and Lumber compa-
ny, of which he was formerly treasurer
and financial manager, except TO pro
tect themselves in their Iran to IT. OF
$4,000 in July, 1908.
When upon oss-examination 1T was
sought by the governments lawyers,
District Attorney Oscar Lawler and AS
sistant Attorney General Tracy Z.
Becker, to show that Hedderly had
taken steps toward making another
loan, and had hurried abstracts of lands
in question from oregon to Los Ange-
les, the witness apparently began TO
evade the questions.
Witness Memory Seems Weak
One thing complained of by District
Attorney Lawler was the fact that He'd
derly had apparently forgotten so much
which he remembered three years ago.
Finally Hedderly refused to answer
the attorneys questions, alleging that
the state was seeking to obtain EVIL
dence from his as a witness for Kenny
and Gillelen which would incriminate
him in his forthcoming trial in oregon.
Efforts will be made by the govern
ment to prove through Hedderly tnat
certain book of abstracts of the alleged
Oregon land holdings of the Pacihc
Furniture and Lumber company were
fraudulently entered upon, so as to be
transferred to this concern as hold
ing company.
This will probably come up for con-
sideration when the case Is resumed
tbs morning at 10 o'clock, when Attor-
neys Davis and Goudge for the defense
again will contest the states right, In
ali probability, to compel the witness to
testify to facts discriminating himself
in his own trial,
Assistant Attorney General Tracy c.
Becker said yesterday that Prosecuting
Attorney Henev would not be in Los
Angeles to help the government on this
case. as was rumored recently.
This is not Heneys CASE said Judge
Becker 'snce he was away when the
indictments in this case were made out.
We would be only too glad to have him
here to help us, but / fear he will not
be here. since he is too busy up north
with other matters"

with other men; would often visit a
certain widower who lived not many
miles distant and stay out late at
| nights. A large number of souvenir
postal cards, containing suggestive
pictures and writings, which the de
PENDANT was said to have received
from other men, were offered in evil
dence
The plaintiff asked for divorce on

case took most of the day and after
the conclusion Of the testimony the
court granted the plaintiff a divorce
and the custody of their minor son
By agreement Of the parties entered

Gets SIX YEARS.
JAMES TODD is SENTENCED FOR
MANSLAUGHTER AT
CENTERVILLE.

Chief Of Police Gallagher was notified
yesterday that the case of the state Of
Iowa against Todd had been settled by
the defendant pleading guilty to man
slaughter before Judge Roberts at
Centerville, and that all witnesses
We're dismissed.
1t was learned by telephone COM.
munication with Centerville that
Todd was sentenced to serve six years
at Ft. Madison for killing Albert Jack
son, Centerville tough, ct Mystic
last fall, being the outgrowth of a crap
game. He was taken to the peniten-
tiary today.
Todd had just been released from
the Ottumwa Jail and went to Mystic
where the next day he was playing at
a gambling house Todd and Jackson
quarreled which resulted in Todd
shooting jackson. The trouble was
over dispute in the amount of change
coming to one of the colored men from
the crap game.
