\ by the Indictment OF senator
MitchelTs Law partner. A. u. Tanner.
Tor the crime Of perjury. The trial
was held before Judge DE Haven. His
demurrer was based principally ON
the contention that tine Indictment
did not charge him with knowledge
OF the receipt ~ any of the moneys
which kribs had paid and also on
Inc GROUND that II did not state that
Senator Mitchell vas a United States
senator at the time named.

paid by Krihf were paid In the form
of checks drawn IN favor % the firm

Mitchell was the testimony OF Judge
Tanner TO the Eject that when
Mitchell came to oregon In Decem-
Der, 1904. to appear before the grand
jury, he and Tanner had entered into
an arrangement to prepare "A new
hrm contract under the terms ~
which Judge Tanner should be per-

ices rendered In any Of the depart
