Uncertain About Agreements With

BOISE, Idaho, Feb. 19.-Counsel
for the defense in the case of the
United States against William F.
Kettenbach George w. Hester and
William Dryer, charged with con-
spiracy to defraud the United States,
scored victory over the prosecution
when Judge Dietrich held that all
evidence surrounding the entries as
to which the defendants had been
acquitted at a former trial is not
admissible.
E. ]. Taylor was recalled to the
stand. He admitted he had an un-
derstanding with Jackson O'Keefe,
his uncle, that he was to receive
$3.50, over and above the cost of the
land and his expenses. Jackson
O'Keefe had given him 500 bill
and he had given it back to him as

nounced that the government pro-
posed to show that O'Keefe had re-

DO you remember asking Dwyer
if you had to commit perjury in MAX
ing your application and he told you
that did not amount to anything?"
he was asked.
Il have no recollection of any
such conversation.
In an effort to impress the jury
with the witnesses attitude, Gordon
questioned him along this line at
great length, and, continuing the ex-
animation, brought out that Wilson
had been shown a transcript of his
evidence, given at the trial while in
Gordon's Office in Boise.

The witness related that Dryer,
after he had made out a deed con-
veying the land, returned his final
land Office receipt to him. but did
not remember that Dwyer had told
him at that time, in case any gov
eminent inspectors came around to
tell them he still had the property
and wanted to sell it. Attorney Cor
don asked repeated questions in an
effort to procure such an admission.
Mrs. Wilson, wife of the witness,
testified she had gone to the ONCE
of Arthur Kettenbach with some
sort of a paper for her husband and
that later she went to the Lewiston
National bank and procured note
in the sum of 500. which had been
given by her husband She had Civ

Wilson was recalled to the stand,
but did not remember whether or
not the note obtained by his wife
from the Lewiston National bank
had been the note he had given to
Dwyer. No money was paid for the
note, he said.
