lent requirement Of lands was effected,
are here for trial.
This case has been on the dockcts Of
the courts here and in California for the
past four years. the trial having been
postponed from time to time. One Of
the delays was caused because Of lack
Of funds to pay witness fees and other

lionaire, resisted extradition from Cali
fornia, as did his co-defendants. who are
alleged to have done the actual work in
the field and later carried the case to
the United States supreme court. where
a decision favorable to them was handed
down.

general land Office at that time, and
later . representative in Congress from
Oregon, sent special agents, HoIsinger
and Magee, out west 10 investigate The
report was submitted to Hermann. who,
u ~ alleged, held IL up. Finally it was
brought to the attention Of former Sec
rotary Of the Interior Hitchcock by Ma
gee. The former detailed secret service
officers and attorneys Of the department
Of isistic on tine case, and their findings
led to the indictments.
The governments side Of the case Isl
represented BIZ District Attorney Baker
and special assistants in the department
Of justice, Arthur b. Pngh, and Francis
j. Honey. The four defendants are rep
resented by A. r Worthington. r. Col
den Donaldson. and A. a. Birney of
the Washington bar, and Joseph CT Camp
bell Of San Francisco, and VI. J. Van
Devere of New York.
The attorneys for the defendants first
offered q plea in abatement and District
Attorney Baker flied demurrer to the
plea, which was sustained. Hyde, Di.
mond, and Schneider were then arraign-
ed and counsel for Benson entered The
plea in bar. The jurors were dismissed
until 1870, while argument was heard
