Claims Ignorance of Timber
Land Terms After SO
Years Experience

DR.. E. B. Perrin, the principal wit
ness against c. p. Smell, who is on trial
in the United States district court on
when he gave testimony which was
material in bringing about the con-
viction of Perrin and John A Benson
for land frauds. was made most un-
comfortable yesterday afternoon by the
questions of Bert Schlesinger, attorney
for SMELL
There were numerous wordy battles.
At times United States District Attor-
ney Samuel Platt of Nevada attempted
to go to the aid of the witness. but he
was routed time after time by the with
ering sarcasm of Schlesinger.
The efforts of Perrin to have Francis
]. Heney, his Brother in law, aid him in
his defense, were gone into by Schles-
niger; correspondence between Perrin
and Smell at the time of the arrest of
Benson and the circumstances leading
up to the arrest of Smell in Arizona
were taken up at length So thorough
ly alive to the Importance of the in
quiries were the jurors that they fire.
quently interrupted to put questions to
Perrin on salient features of the case.
Although Perrin testified on direct
examination that he did not know the
other technical terms at the time he
became involved with Benson, Schles-
niger had him admit that he had been
dealing in government lands since 1871
and that he had been advised from
time to time by a large number of at
torneys. This was for the twofold pur-
pose of showing that Perrin knew what
he was doing when he signed the Ben
son contract and that Smell was not
acting as Perrins legal adviser at the
time.
'Are you now cutting timber from
land you sold to the government p
asked schlesinger after Perrin had ad-
mitted that he had nearly 100000 acres
of government land.
Its a monstrous falsehood," returned
Perrin. and Platt interposed an objec-
tion on the ground that an attempt was

criminate himself.
Perrin later admitted that he had
taken up his case with Heney and had
tried to induce the latter to help in the
prosecution of Smell and to assist Per
rim in getting before the grand jury.
A little later Perrin banded words with
Schlesinger and said Heney had ad-
vised him to employ schIesinger as his
attorney.
He said you were very handy with
a jury" said Perrin.
THANK you" returned Schlesinger.
"You know why did not become your
attorney, don't you2 I refused to ac-
cept your employment"
schlesinger soon added that he was
prouder of his employment in the pres
ent case than he would have been had
he defended Perrin. He said further
that he was defending Smell without
compensation.
Schlesinger was questioning Perrin
about the alleged efforts of the witness
to have aff1davits made against United
States District Attorney r. T. Devlin,
Assistant United States Attorney Al
fred Black and Detective w. ]. Burns
when an adjournment was taken for
the day. The case will be resumed this
morning with Perrin on the stand
