THE HYDE CASE
Former United States Attorney
Adds Another Chapter

Mitchell, April when Attorney
General Wickersham published the
statement last week disclosing the
foundation upon which he asked Presi-
dent Taft to issue a pardon for Charles
L. Hyde, who had been sentenced to a
term in Fort Leavenworth prison, il
was expected that Z. Z. Wagner,
former United States district attorney,
would make reply. 1t was through
the efforts of Mr.. Wagner that Hdye
was convicted Of the charge of using
the mails to defraud purchasers of land
la the vicinity of Pierre. Efforts were
made by the attorney general to secure
from Mt. Wagner statements that
would serve the purpose of the pardon
of Hyde, but Mr.. Wagner steadfaetly
refused to have anything to do with the
situation, and resigned his position
rather than be associated with the re-
lease Of Hyds's sentence.
Wickersham's version of the evil
dence and that of Mr.. Wagner are
quite at variance, the attorney gen
erals conclusion being drawn from a
soulce which permitted him to a wide
liberslity in making it possible to
urge the granting of the pardon. The
rather sensational statement made by
Wickersham that Judge Elliott had
said he was obliged to send Hyde to
prison to vindicate himself, ii having
been the charge before his appoint
ment that he was a corporation man
and likely to favor a rich man in his
court. 1t is asserted by Wickersham
that Elliott wa quoted by four men as
saying beforehand that he would not
send Hyde to prison, that he changed
his mind afterward because of the
charges against him.
Today Attorney Wagner declared
that before Wickersham wrote those
statements into his report, he was in
formed both by telegram and letter
by himself and Judge Elliott that
this report was entirely false and
that Elliott had never said anything
of the kind. 1t is believed from this
that Wikckersham gaIbled the evidence
in order to make his report satisfactory
SO that a pardon could be granted to
Hyde.

any other time In the history of the
state. Two projects are under way,
which are being pushed toward
actual work this year. One of these
is the project in southwestern Potter
county, in which an indianapolis firm
is the one which is back of the plan,
and the other along the line between
Hughes and Sully counties, which will
be pushed by the commercial club OF
this city. In this plaI a Pittsburgh
firm is the backing, and their repre-
sentative is to be hete within a few
days to take the preliminary steps in
that direction. The central point for
this plan will be the Olmstead ranch,
southwest of Okobojo, Charles Ohm
stead. of Charleston, H., the owner
being largely responsible in bringing
this plan to the front. Besides this
there are several other owners of large
tracts along the county line who are
ready to take a part in any actual
demonstration work along that line.
