DEFENDANT ON THE STAND
Former United States District Attor-
ney Hall of Oregon Denies All
Charges Against Him.

Portland Ore, Jan. 29-Former Unit
ed States District Attorney John Hall
took the witness stand in his own behalf
today in the trial of land fraud con-
spiracy in which the federal government
charges he was implicated. Hall Wig
orously denied that he had ever entered
into a conspiracy or an illegal agree
ment with former State Senator Stew
er and his associates or with anybody
else. He asserted that at no time had
he ever been unfaithful to his trust as
a prosecuting officer for the govern
ment; neither had he ever been dila-
tory in prosecuting all violations of the
law that had been reported to him and
supported by the necessary evidence.
Mr.. Hall will probably complete his
testimony tomorrow morning, and the
cross-examination of the witness by
Heney will follow.
Aside from the final arguments to
the jury, Heney's cross-eXamination OF
Hall promises to be the feature of the
trial Judge Webster, counsel for Mr..
Hall. said last night that he would
probably call only one witness when the
defendant finished his testimony, al
though it is understood Steiwer will be
recalled for further ss-eXamination.
Heney will offer some testimony in re-
buttal when the defense has concluded
its case so that the final arguments can
not begin before tomorrow afternoon
and probably not until Saturday. To-
days proceedings were very tedious.
