$500 check for Byron drawn on1
the Lexington State bank, but
said Todd returned the following
day and said he could not use a
check on an out-of-town bank be-
cause 1t had to go through the
mails. Todd is said to have re-
quested check on Salem bank.
Miller said he took the check back
and destroyed it, and made Todd
out a check on the Ladd & Bush
bank for $500, but requested Todd
not to attempt to cash it until he
had time to transfer some Of his
money from the Lexington to the
Salem bank. Miller said ne trans
ferred $500.
Technical Point Sustained.
The government is contending
that Todd was responsible for the
$500 check passing through the
mails, and even though he did not
personally mail the letter he is
bound by the acts of his agents.
Todd's attorneys objected to the
Introduction of this check in evil
dence, holding that the bank
bought" the check from Todd
when it left his hands, and the
legal title to the cheer left Todd
when he surrendered ii at the
bank.
Government attorneys argued
such is not the case, alleging
that a bank never purchases a
check belonging to its customers.
The judge upheld the prosecu-
tor and admitted the check as evil
dence.
Bean Grows Impatient.
Upon agreement Of attorneys
on both sides, Judge n. A. Mil
lerich, member of the board OF
law review Of the general land Of
flee at Washington, y. c., was not
called to Portland to testify in
this trial. 1T was agreed that he
would testify the same as at the
last trial and that he would state
that Byron had never had any
connection with the land office
and that he never had given them
lany information, but that he had
caused the office considerable
trouble.
i Judge Bean is noticeably irri
tated over the lengthy cross ex-
animation given the witnesses
and is endeavoring in every wa,
possible to speed UP the trial.
i He has ordered court to con.
vene at $50 a. m. instead of IL
O'Clock and has cut down the moot
intermission 80 minutes. Botl
| nights since the trial started hi
has held court over time. No pre-
diction is being made at presen
as to when the trial will close
The defense witnesses will not b.
called before next week.

"a short tige ago / was one

thanks to Tanlac I'm we'll and

smothering spells at times and my
heart beat so irregularly that !

were the bane Of my existence
and I shudder even now when I
think of them. My back hurt
me to bend over and straighten
up again.
sTanlac has done for me far
more than j ever expected and

Bergman Turns Table.
Under cross examination the
defense attempted to make Berg
man foolish in the eyes OF the
jury, until Bergman finally ex-
pressed an opinion of himself as
follows:
Il expect I belong in that class
to which Mr.. Byron referred when
he said, There's one born every
second"
Il think SO too" snapped out
Todd's attorney as he excused the
witness.
THANK you," said Bergman as
he left the stand.
Todd's attorney laid consider
able emphasis on the testimony OF
Frank s. Barton, Salem electrical
contractor, who said he had in
vested $4,000 in the scheme, in an
effort to obtain a claim for him
self and wife. Counsel pointed out
that Todd was only a school teach
er and not acquainted with the
business world and business
methods, and therefore could very
easily be trapped by a business
man. He continuously emphasized
the fact that Barton "a business
man" had also been fleeced
through the scheme.
Todd Changed Story.
As often as the attorney en-.
deavored to bring out this anglt
of Interpretation Barton woulc
insist that but for his faith il
Todd he would not have invested
his money. Barton also testified
that Todd told him he was getting
500 claim and added:
after the government ageni
came to Salem Todd met me on the
street and asked me, DO you re
, member told you got $10o ou
Of each Of these claims?'"
Barton said he answered in til,
affirmative.
/ 'Well, if you're any friend O
mine you'll remember / said an
going to get $100 a claim wher
these claims come through" TODD
is said to have replied.
| H. H. Vandevort, stock buyer
/, charged the defendant with repre-
senting Byron to be man 0
great wealth and a persona
friend Of the Todd family.
Byron "Safe as Bank"
| "My money would be as SAT
/ with Byron as in Bush's bank,
Vandeyort charged Todd with tell
| ing him. This witness also re
membered Todd telling him he go
/ 500 out of each claim. Whel
Arundel arrived in Salem Vande
wort said he was cautioned not t
:, talk about the deal. Vandevor
said after he became acquainte
with the facts concerning Byrcn'
conviction he talked to Tod
again, but was assured at tina
time that Todd as good as had
pardon in his pocket.

story.
