WIN. HASLEY CONVICTED.

The following is taken from
the Portland Journal Of June /.
William Hanley was found
guilty of maintaining and con-
trolling an illeagal inclosure of
government land by a jury in
federal court this morning. The
yirdict was returned at 8 a. m.
Thirty days were allowed to file
a motion for a new trial and sub
nit a bill of exceptions to the
virdict.
Codtending and arguing throu-
gh the long hours Of the night
there was such a difference of
opinion among the II men COM
posing the jury that it was the
fixed belief that they would never
agree when at 10 O'Clock they
were locked up for the night.
After receiving instructions from
Judge Wolyerton the jury retired
at A o'clock yesterday afternoon.
They did not agree on a verdict
until 8 o'clock this morning.
Jude Wolyerton's instructions
yesterday clarified every issue of
the case. He advised the jurors
that they should not consider any
evidence introduced to show that
the fence around the lands in
Harvey county has been repaired
unless that evidence included the
statement that the order for re-
pairs or additions had come from
Hanley himself. In this connec-
tion the United States district
attorney had argued that Han
ley's managerial position made
him responsible for the mainten-
ance Of the fence, whether by

In commenting on the result OF
the Hanley trial the Oregonian
says:
1t is proper to explain that the
verdict of guilty" against Han
ley involves no question of real
moral guilt. The indictment did
not claim that Mr.. Hanley ever
had anything to do with the con-
struction of the fences in ques-
tion. But the law permits a man
to be tried if the fence is main
tanned on his property, whether
originally constructed by him or
not, and all that this verdict de-
clares is that a fence was in ac-
tual existence on property of
which Mr.. Hanley is manager.
Upon the charge that he had ever
obstructed entrance upon the
Government land, or had in any
way prevented access to it, he
was found not guilty. Mr.. Han
ley's life record is opposed to the
fencing of Government land.
He stated under oath at the trial
that he had never fenced a foot
of Government land in his life.
