PROSECUTION
THEN At END
Henry M. HOyt, Attorney Cen
eral of Porto Rico, Tesuifies
in the Ballinger Inquiry, Do
ing No Hurt to Either Side.

Washington, Feb. 19-The case for
the prosecution in the Ballinger-Pin-
chot inquiry practically has been
closed. When the committee ad.
iOurned today until Friday Mr.. Bran
deis stated there was some cOrrobora-
tive evidence yet to be produced, and
that Clifford Pinchot probably would
want to make a statement before he
could announce his case was ended.
Mr.. PinchOt was to have taken the
stand this afternoon but he could not
be found in the luncheon recess.
The days proceedings began with the
unexpected announcement that the cross
examination of Louis r. CLAWS was end
ed. Henry NJ HOyt attorney general lof
Porto Rico, was called to the stand to
cOrTOborate that portion of CLAWS teSu-
mony in which he told Of seeking the
advice Of MT. HOyt i'm Washington in
MAY. 1909 after First Assistant Secretary
OF the Interior Pierce had rendered an
opinion which CLAWS thought would per
NIT the Cunningham claims i'm Alaska TO
go to patent.
Mi. Hoyt told Of how deeply worried
CLAWS seemed to be at this time and said
that. before going TO Attorney General
Wickersham. he and CLAWS had discussed
the advisability of taking the matter up
directly with the President. Mr.. HOyt
also testified to the good character OF
CLAWS, saying he had known him for a
number of years. and he had told the at
tOrney general that CLAWS was an hon
Orable upright young man.
The only other phase of the case to
which Mr.. Hoyt directed his testimony,
had to do with the Wilson coal land cases,
in which he acted as special attorney for
the United States. CLAWS testified he
had heard that the name of r. A. Bal
linger, an attorney for some Of the vii
son claimants, had been left out of the
court record By stimulation Of counsel.
