ment secured by the former United

timber lands in Boise county, Idaho.
Senator Borah made no technical OBJ
jections to the indictment, but STOOD

two of the other defendants, filed pleas
in abatement to the indictment based
on the alleged improper conduct OF
Ruick before the grand jury in urging

dicted for perjury by another grand
jury in making such affidavits.
