The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1908-01-01

PORTLAND, Jan. Next Monday
morning, upon the arrival here of his
pardon from Washington, S. A. D. Pu-
ter will walk out of the MultnOmah
county Jail a free man after serving
but eight months of his two-year SEN
tence. Executive clemency will also
carry with it immunity from the fine
time of his sentence.
Puter owes his prospective freedom
to the good offices of Francis j. Heney
and to Mrs. Puter, who has visited
Portland several times to see her con-
Wet husband. and who has used all the
influence at her command upon the au-
thorities at Washington. 1t is said that
when Heney was in Washington he ex-
planned to Attorney General Bona
parte how Puter had aided him in every
way he could, and how important it
would be to use the land fraud king as
a witness against Hall, Hermann and
others.
Puter will have a whole weeks Ii
berty in which to prepare for his ap-
pearance in the federal court when the
land fraud trials are to be resumed.
Puter will go free January and on
January Is the John Hall case will be
called.
"Mr. Heney's efforts in my behalf"
said Puter yesterday in discussing the
granting of the pardon, met with
powerful opposition on the part of
friends of the indicted land fraud de-
PENDANTS. There are a great many peo-
pie who would much rather see me
cooped up here in Jail than to see me at
liberty even if 1 could aid in sending
some of these defendants to Jail. These
persons made no bones about airing
their opposition in places where they
thought it would carry sufficient weight
to keep me here
My wife ably assisted Mr.. Heney in
securing my pardon, and just as soon
as l am free ] shall take the first train
to my home at Berkeley, Cal. and spend
two or three days with my family.
shall then return to Portland and work
night and day getting out my book,
and shall stay in Portland ready to as
sist the government any way l can in
the prosecution of the land fraud de-
PENDANTS

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 1.-The
Department of Justice yesterday gave
out the following:
In accordance with the very strong
recommendations of Francis j. Heney
and United States Attorney Baker, of
the District of Columbia, Attorney
General Bonaparte today recommend
ed to the president the pardon of Ste
phen A. d. Puter in order that the lat
ters testimony might be utilized in
connection with the prosecution of Ore
gon land frauds
Futer has been in Jail since April of
last wear. and on July {, 1906, was SEN
fenced to two years Imprisonment and
to pay a fine of $500. He has already
assisted the government materially in
prosecuting land fraud cases, and in
view of his value as a witness and his
disposition to assist, the government in
every way, the attorney general decided
to make the recommendation for exec
utive clemency which was sent to the
White House today, and later the presi-
dent signed the pardon.

Wedgwood, commanding the national
guard of Utah, said last night:
81 have not been informed as to
whether or not any of the officers of
the national guard desire the Opportun-
ity to try for an appointment to the
regular army, but 1 know that there
are several who, as regular officers,
would be a credit to their country. /
am intensely pleased at the position ia
ken by the war department. 1t gives a
stimulus to the national guard that
could not come in any other way. 1t
puts an army career within the reach
of any guardsman who is faithful and
energetic in the performance of his du-
ties.
1.-The Utah national guard offers q
young man excellent chances for pro-
motion. Because it is one of the small
est branches of the national guard in
the country, each man stands a much
better chance of getting in line for the
desired appointment to the regular
army.
"In camp each year there is a COM
petitive drill for privates, the winner
receiving a medal for being the best
drilled man in the guard. There is also
a competitive drill for squads COM
manded by non-cOmmissioned officers
in which there is a further chance for
distinction. BY rifle practice at the
Fort Douglas range the men may COM
pete at any time for medals as marks
man, sharpshooter or expert rifleman.

SIX MEN SWORN

Three Provisional Jurors in the
Box When Original Venire
Became Exhausted.
FIRST SURPRISE SPRUNG
PROSECUTIONS EXPERTS SUM-
MONED BY DEFENSE.

New York, Jan. S.-The work of Sc
curing jury TO try Harry X. Thaw G
second time for killing Stanford White
was half completed when court ad-
journed shortly before O'Clock to-
night The original venire OF 800 spe-
ciaI service jurors had been exhausted
at that hour, and the customary night
sitting was not held. Two hundred
additional talesmen have been ordered
to report tomorrow morning. The oath
OF, service was administered to three
men, making six in all who have been
finally accepted. Three provisional jul
rors We're also in the box at the close
of the days session, but they are still
subject To peremptory challenges. An
other series of these arbitrary remOy-
ais reduced the panel when all twelve
seats had been filled at o'clock, and
six chairs were left vacant when il
was finished. The defense has now
used eleven of its thirty challenges,
and the prosecution eight.
Jurors So Far Secured.
The sworn jurors in their respective
positions are;

The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1908-01-09
Plan of the Defense.

The defense in the present trial is in
sanity at the time White was killed. In
making out their case the defense will
need to exercise delicate handling to
show that Thaw was so deranged at the
time as not to know the nature or
quality of his act, and to show at the
same time that he is now mentally
sound.
If they are put on the stand, Mr.. Lit
Teton may draw from the three physi-
clans the opinion that Thaw was also
insane at the time of the killing, and
then endeavor TO limit all testimony as
to the defendants mental condition to
the immediate period of the tragedy.
If successful in this the defense would
force a trial of the case strictly on the
ground of Thaw's mental condition in
the summer of 1906.
This in turn would force District At
torney Jerome again to apply for a
lunacy commission, and should this oc-
cur Thaw's attorneys are confident of
his ability successfully to establish his
claim of present sanity before such a
board.
