Ex-senator Mason
Argues Federal
Case in Omaha
Has for Client Frederick S. Baird of
Chicago, Charged with Conspir.
acy in Land Case.

Frederick S. Baird of Chicago, one OF the
most distinguished defendants who has
ever appeared in the Omaha branch of the
federal court, was before Judge Munger
Friday afternoon arguing a motion for a
new trial. Baird is charged with con-
spiracy in connection with the entry OF
government land in northwestern Nebraska
and the case has been dragging along in
the United States court for many months.
An unfavorable verdict was returned
against Baird and he now seeks a new
trial.
Baird himself is a lawyer and he is also
represented by former United States SEN
ator William Mason OF Illinois. Senator
Mason is one Of the most prominent mem
bers of the Chicago bar and appears only
in highly important cases. His appearance
in Omaha attracted much attention in
legal circles and leading members OF the
Omaha bar showed him marked attention
It was agreed that the proceedings before
Judge Munger should begin at II O'Clock
Friday morning, but the court room was
not properly heated at that time, and as
Judge Munger Is suffering from a slight
attack Of cold, the hearing was postponed
until 1870 o'clock
1t is aaeged that Baird, a resident OF Chi
cagO, practiced technical Irregularities in
connection with demonstrating a tract of
land in Dawes county, but the charges
against him are entirely different from the
other land cases which have recently at
traeted 50 much attention and which re-
suited in wholesale indictments Of several
| prominent citizens OF northwestern Ne
braska. The charge in those cases was in
| timidadon OF settlers and In the case Of
Baird nothing like intimidation is alleged
Senator Mason made a strenuous argu-
ment on behalf OF his distinguished client
and the argument brought to Judge Nun
gers court room large delegation Of local
lawyers in the role OF spectators.

credibility OF witnesses who testified against
