DIDN'T REVEAL NAMES
! Until the beginning of Himmelblau's
cross examination by Attorney Nc
Aleer. Attorney Drummonds conducted
the defense. II Williston was agitated
while damaging statements credited 70
him were being read to the jury. he
did not show 1t. Occasionally Dean
would cast glance backward. to see
the faces of the men who stand charg-
ed with receiving his money. or possi-
blythe money of the men who are be-
hind him.
For a brief moment in Deans testi.
mony today, there was hope that he
would revcal-the names of the persons
associated with him in the effort to
send the majority of the Gary city on
Gals to the penitentiary but the alert
audience which already began TO crone
its neck in anticipation was to be dis
appointed
On cross-exam-nation he gave an
evasive answer when asked you
furnished a good deal of money to
prosecute this case?" Yes sir. paid
out a good deal" he answered and
subsequently the court sustained an
objection to bringing in any other
names.
AT another stage of the cross
examination it seems that ATTORNEY
Drumono had backed Dean into
corner when he made him admit that
he did say in the presence of witnesses
that his heating franchise was a good
one and that 1T had been procured
above board, when as matter of fact
according TO his direct testimony he
already paid money to williston
Il made the statement but I was not

/ Then you do not speak the truth
when you are not under oath?" came
a
volume of sarcasm. Dean tried TO ex-
plain his statement, but Drummond in
sisted in direct answer to his cues
ton and it was then that Judge Van
Fleet suggested that Dean may have
made the statement about his franchise
/ in an ironical way
| Later in redirect examination Attor-
ney Parker for the state again brought
up the incident to emphasiz that the
statement was made with irony and
satire.

convictions have resulted. In the

ADMISSION FOUGHT HARD.
That the admission of this evidence
into the records was fought every
inch of>the way can be gathered from
the fact that it took two whole days to
get 1t in.
In the mean time Special Judge Van
Fleet was called on frequently to rule
on objections of minor Importance, and
not infrequently on questions of such
Importance that the defense will rely
on them for favorable supreme court
verdict. should the jury find williston
guilty of the crime charged
OF the more salient points raised
yesterday by the defense, but over
ruled by the courr was the, one by
which the wiliston's lawyers hoped to
bar the photograph instrument from
the court room. The second and most
important of al the objections was to
the reading Of the stenographic dicto-
graph notes verbatim by Himmelblau
the stenographer Judge Van Fleet
overruled both, but listening to the
suggestion by the defense that read
ing the report in Its entirety might
bring in matters irrevelant to the case
he suggested that the defense attorneys
be supplied with typewritten copies of
the photograph reports, and that the
state ask the stenographer to read
from his noes only those portions of
the conversation bearing directly on
the alleged bribery
PAVE WAY FOR APPEAL
This procedure enabled the state to
get the three reports before the jury In
little more than an hour but neverthe-
less over the formal objection by the
, defense who saved every exception
possible for appeal

the actual photograph records, the jury

FRAUD IN BUCHANAN.

Eross fraud is apparent in the land
assessments returned from Buchanan
county. Some time ago the acreage
OF Buchanan was listed at 100000;
in 1905 IT was :,256.232, and In 1910
tho acreage Is placed at G77,96O. In
his report. Auditor Donohoc says that
figures for Buchanan county relative
to real estate arc taken from 1910 lana
books, because the land books of that
county for 1911 contain assessments
OF large tracts of land which have
no existence In fact: therefore. to use
those figures in this table would be
| misleading" In 1907 the land books
or the county in question were so con
fused as to show an acreage for that
county alone of almost onc-twclfth
the total area OF the whole State.
This is largely the result OF great
fraud upon capitalists in the great cities
OF the country who were sold large
| tracts of mining land which did not
exist. Fake titles were sold outside
of the State. resulting in creating u
class. Of claimants for land that did
not exist, who were assessed by the
commissioners of revenue none the
less. 80 that they might get their
double fec when they were entitled to
but single fee.
There has been much fraudulent
dealing in nonresident mining lands
in Buchanan. and the next General
Assembly should investigate the mat
ter and seek to remedy the Ubiquitous
conditions which have arisen. Commits
sioners Of tho revenue will not this
year be allowed fees for fictitious land
assessment, but that stops only one
part OF the abuse. Such fraud as has
been unearthcd is Il disgrace 10 the
state. and the sooner an end is put to
II the better for Buchanan and the
state.
