ENTRYMAN's AFFI-
DAvIT NOT REQUIRED
Quay County Man Acquit-
ted Of Perjury; Grand
Jury Discharged.


AIamogordo. N. NJ. Nov. sO.-An
Of the time Of the United States Court
Yesterday was given to the trial OF
Jake 8. Oswald OF Endee, Quay Co,
indicted for perjury. The indictment
alleged that In making afadsvit a. q
witness for John y. Batson In the
anal Communication proof Of homestead
entry, no .wore falsely. After some
thirty minutes elaboration the jury
returned a verdict Of not guilty. John
p. Batson, the entryman, and John
Kampsey, the second witness are also
under indictment on the same charge.
Their cases will not be tried a. this
term Of court.
In fact II Ia more than likely that
the last named eases will not be put
on trial at all. This IL by reason Of
a recent dieision which II Of . vast
deal Of Importance In the southwest
whore 20 much Of the public domain
still lies open TO homestead and desert
entry. This decision was by Judge
Robert +. Lewis Of the United States
circuit court Of appeals, at Denver.
This section Of the country lies
within the jurisdiction Of that court
and therefore the decision will affect
subsequent decisions in local courts,
IL 10 said.
Judge Lewis held that an e%ntryman
may not be convicted Of perjury by rea'
son Of any false statement which he
might make in his AFFIDAVIT Of anal,
or Anal communication proof, because
his own affidavit Is not required by law.
The Law requires only that the entry
man prove his continuous residence upon
the entry, etc, by two credible witness
es. II is merely 4 department reguls'
ton which requires the sntryman him
self to make an affidavit.
This decision II based upon the prin'
ciple Of law that 1t Is not possible to
convict Of perjury only when the wit
ness is required or compelled, by law,
TO testify to material facts. since
the entrymsn's affidavit Is not q re-
quiremcnt Of law, he may not be con
victed Of perjury, no matter how false
his affidavit may be, says the ruling.
II seems odd tina the entryman'
who might be called the principle IN
the case, may give false testimony
yet not be liable, while the two wit
ne-ses who testify in his behalf, are
liable.
On this ground some OF the attor'
neys go to the length OF holding that
IL would be possible for an entryman
to establish title to the entry without
himself making an affidavit, (thai

TO INSPECT METHOD
OF RAILWAY PAVING
CITY ENGINEER WILL VISIT
OTHER CALIFORNIA CITIES
Wishes to Determine Whether Local
Street Car Companies Use Same
Pavement as Is Laid in OUT
side Towns

To see whether the claims of the
street railways that the methods of
paving they use in Los Angeles are the
same as those in other California cities
City Engineer Homer Hamlin will so
to San Francisco, Sacramento, Oakland
and Berkeley. The council will be asked
to appropriate SIS to pay the expenses.
of the trip. This is a modest sum FOR
such a purpose. Most city officials eX-
pend twice as much as this for such
inspection tours.
The city and the railways have been
at loggerheads for years over the mat
ter of paving street car rights of way.
The law requires railway companies
shall lay the kind of pavement and at
the same time as is used in the re-
mainder of the street. The railways
have not been doing this. They have
used an asphalt surface but a concrete
asphalt base instead of a cement con-
crete-asphalt base, and the city en-
gineer contends the base used by the
company is not as good as that of the
roadway, and whether or not as ser
viceable he says it certainly is not ac-
cording to specifications.
But the railways contend their
method Of paving is better than that
called for in specifications for their pur-
pose and that it is the same kind of
pavement put in elsewhere. The city
engineer will make a personal investl-
cation to test the truth of this state
ment and also will look UP other in
teresting engineering matters while on
the tour of inspection.
