BRILLIANT ARRAY OF LEAGLE
TALENT ON BOTH SIDES
Indictment Under Which Bnger Hermann Is Being Tried Was
Returned February 13, 1905, and Charges Him With Be-
ing Party to Conspiracy to Defraud the United States of
Certain Lands In the Blue Mountain Forest Reserve

Oregon's political life for the last
AZ years, is charged with having
been a party to a conspiracy to de-
fraud the United States of a portion
of its land in the creation of the
Blue Mountain forest reserve.
The trial is certain to be bitterly
contested, as both sides are repre-
sented by some of the brightest le-
gal talent in the country.
Matched against the brilliant Col
A. S. Worthington of Washington,
d. c., and John NJ Gearin of Port
land, considered by many the most
eloquent lawyer in the Pacific North
west, are Francis j. Heney, the fight
ing San Francisco graft prosecutor,
supported by Tracey C. Becker.
Heney who is arraigned against
Hermann, was recently defeated for
the district attorneyship of San
Francisco by Charles NJ Fickert.
Heney is considered one of the
strongest trial lawyers before the
American bar.
Hermann also gathered a brilliant
array of counsel in his defence. 1t
is headed by Col. A. S. Worthing-
ton, a millionaire, who has come all
the way from Washington to defend
him on account of the personal
friendship Worthington is widely
of Senator Reed Smoot Of Utah
when an effort was made to oust him
from his seat in the senate because
of his affiliation with the Mormon
church.
John M. Gearin, who is assisting
Col Worthington, is a former United
States senator, and about IS years
ago ran against Hermann for a seat
in congress. Hermann defeated him
by a slight majority.

mann is being tried was returned

regular morning roll call was made
up. Several transient drunks re-
sponded to the jailer's call, but being

One wayward gentleman, however,
coming under the name of John Doe,
remitted $40 to the judge and went
away a wiser and poorer citizen of
Salem. This guest was fined $500
over the regular fee owing to the fact
that upon being rescued from the
street in a dilapidated condition he
resisted the night officers, and upon
arriving at the city bastile door he
made such fuss as to demolish the
glass front in the city marshaPs of

John Doe was very peaceful, and

Hermann faced the opening of his
trial for conspiracy to defraud the
government of public lands in the
United States court before Judge
Wolverton this morning at 10
O'Clock. Up to 1890 the court was
busy with hearing the excuses of the

torneys will begin the task of select
ing II men out of the remainder LETT
from the original 301 men called to
form the petit jury to hear the evl-
dence in the case.
When Clerk Marsh had finished
calling the long list of names it was
found that 105 of the number had
failed to put in an appearance be-
fore the court. Fifty-five more were
excused by Judge Wolverton for rea-
sons of illness and business.
This afternoon, at 2 o'clock. the
work of selecting the trial jury was
begun, and it is expected that day
or more will be occupied in this
work, though the attorneys hope that
