WELLER INTRODUCES HIMSELF

And the learned judge proceeded to
enumerate a list of all the political jobs
he has held since he began to live off,
his country and serve it. Senator Stone
bit off half an inch of a big cigar and
looked at~him in numb surprise. The
preliminarieS over, Weller proceeded to
smash Roosevelt.
Doctor Perrin he said was anx-
ious to appear before the grand jury,
| and as Devlin did not allow him any
! opportunity of doing so, I decided to
speak to an old friend of mine on the
jury at the time, Frank Finley. ap-
preached Finley and asked him to see
what he could do to give Doctor Perrin
a chance of being heard before any
action was taken. He promised to do
his best. l met him again a second
time to renew my request, when he
told me that the grand jury had in
dicted Doctor Perrin. Then he pro-
ceeded to tell me what had occurred in
the grand jury ROOM
What did he say" asked Stone
He told me that Burns had appeared
before the grand jury and informed
the members that he had Just returned
from Oyster Bay. where he had lunched
with President Roosevelt. and that the
president had told him that he wanted
to see Doctor Perrin and Benson prose-
cuted.
and remember it perfectly. l told Fin
ley that l might want him to make an
afhdaVit later on, but advised him not
to do anything about the matter until
1T was absolutely necessary. | thought
that if DR.. Perrin was acquitted at
the trial there would be no need of
the affidavit, but that if the matter
went wrong with him and we finally
had to make our appeal to the last re-
sort then such an affidavit would
change the aspect of affairs
CROSS AT CROSS EXAMINATION
Having exploded his charge, Weller
evinced a great distaste for cross ex-
animation. Attorney Boardman. rem
resenting Smell, started to ask him a
question and Weller arose in his
wrath.
Who is this person. he demanded.

Boardman. meeting Smell in 1905 at
the Lick house in San Jose and ask

What's that got to do with the mat
ter?' protested Weller. Il can't see"
Please answer the question: said
Senator Stone.
II recollect meeting Snell,'' admitted
the police judge. Il wished him to re-
tract statement he had made against
DIR. Perrin, which was a mass of lies.
This was IN reference to the first
statement made by Smell, in which Per-
rim was accused and many months be-
fore the matter was taken up by the
grand jury.
How did you know they were lies?"
Because 1 knew Smell to be mighty
big liar
And yet you wanted him to sign a
verified statement generating Per-
rin?"

No Hope for Hahn

for the safety of Ranger Joseph r.
Hahn. who. with S4 men. was in the
thick of the fight on the headwaters
of St Joe river last Saturday. A re-
lief party has searched in vain the
whole country where Hahn was last
seen.
Ranger F. A. Fern. at the head of a
still larger party on the st. Joe. is safe.
The forest service announced the loss
of % men on Big. creek. and it may
be that these are a party of the 95
dead reported by their comrades in Spo-
kane today. 1t is supposed that the 20
bodies found on Bitter Root creek, near
Avery. are those of settlers.
Twenty-four bodies found on Setser
creek are those of forest employees.
The forest officers in Wallace are
unable to give out the names of the
dead, but it is thought that most of
the men were newly hired for the fire
emergency and their names are not
officialIy recorded. Probably few of the
skilled forest men have perished.

The volley exploded with a terrific
bang, but there was something wrong
with the guns. The shots would insist
on hitting the hunters. Weller made
heroic effort to pot Theodore Roose-

away he was found to be Tapping
around excitedly. while no appreciable
damage seemed to have been done to
the gentleman from Oyster Bay. Weller

story that Roosevelt had given orders
for the prosecution of Perrin and Ben

came suddenly as naught when he was
forced to admit on cross examination
that he had endeavored to obtain a
statement from Smell exonerating Per
rim, who is a relative of his by mar
riage, and that he conversed with
members of the grand jury which in
dicted Perrin and possibly might
have expressed the hope that no indict-
ment be returned.
