THREE ARRESTS
IN LAND CASES
IMPERIAL VALLEY FRAUDS
STILL GROWING
Witnesses Indicted and Held over for
Trial in Large 5onds-Chap-
lin Testifies in Own
Favor

Rome e. Perry and Hiram w. Blais-
dell, witnesses in the Imperial Va"ey
land fraud case now on trial before
district court, have been indicted for
perjury, and Sigel Il. Skinner for i'm
personating a government officer in
the Imperial valley. All these were ar
rested by United States Deputy Mar
shall ]. f. Durlin yesterday afternoon.
Perry and Blaisdell were admitted TO
bail of $4,000. Skinner is now held in
the county Jail on another charge of
impersonating a government officer He
was unable to make the required bond.
Perry was formerly secretary of the
California Development company. He
will plead to the indictment December
20, that time having been allowed him
on request of John d. Works, his
counsel.
The perjury charges grew out of the
difference in the testimony given by
the two men on the witness stand in
the United States court, and in 1907 be-
fore o. r. Robinson, then receiver of
the local land office. 1t is charged that
the information relative to the amount
of work done on a desert claim Of
Louise f. Heber and sworn to before
the land officials was not the same as
the testimony given in court.
In the case of Blaisdell ii is alleged
he periured himself before the land
officials because his testimony in the
land office was diametrically opposite
to that given in court in connection
with certain entries and entry-transfers
which the government claims We're
made in order that McPherin and the
two Chaplins might defraud the gov
ernment out of valuable land in the
Imperial valley.
d. H. Chaplin, one of the defendants
in the land fraud case, took the stand
yesterday in his own behalf. He began
a general denial of all the charges
against him, making a special point of
denial that he or Paul MePherin or
anyone authorized to act for any Of
the defendants gave Fred M. Bevis
money for making entries on desert
land.
According to Edward Meserve, chief
counsel for the defense, the case will
not go to the jury until about January
Is. He stated yesterday that it will
take until after January first to COM
plete the testimony of witnesses for
the defense. 1t probably will take sew
eral days for the government to offer
rebuttal testimony, and then the de-
Tense will have an opportunity of offer
ing sur-rebuttal evidence. After that
it will take at least two days for sum-
ming up and arguments to the jury.
