The old Criminal Court room has been vacated pending repairs. Judge Wylic, as soon as the court called to order, gave notice to the bailiffs not to admit any more people within the enclosure than @ number sufficient to fill the seats. Some time Was spent in arranging the tables and seats so as to give the counsel an equal opportunity of seeing and quizzing the witnesses, THE FIRST WITNESS called was Emil Schulz, from whom A. W. Moore bought stock and arranged to put in service on the Toute from The Dalles to Baker City. The question as to whether the declarations of Mr. Moore to others than those with whom he made sub-contracts, under authority from Dorsey and Miner, could be admitted into evidence, Judge Wylle concluded that Moore’s agency was broad enough to admit his instructions to Sebuiz. ‘The witness said Moore told him that they were there- after to control all the routes in the far northwest, and appointed witness as agent to run The Dalles. and Saker City route. Moore told him that any Petition he could get up would be granted, as THEY OWNED THE DEPARTMENT. This was objected to and ruled out. The wit- hess said Moore told him to get one or two origi- nal petitions, and they would doctor them up and make as many as they wanted. The witness testified that he did not recognize any of the names on a petition shown him, cailing for increased service on the route, and he did not believe that any such people lived there. | He had been an assistant to the sheriff at The Dalles for ten years, and knew most everybody thereabouts. ne witness was cross-examined by Mr. ison. ‘The witness was asked by Mr. Wilson: “When did you first give information to the govern- ment?” “I never gave them information,” said the wit- ness, “Then how did they come to ask you about him?” asked Mr. Wilson, “I can’t tell you that,” sald the witness, smiling; “I don’t know.” In reply to questions from Mr. Wilson the wit- ness said he came to Washington from Oregon by Way of the Southern Pacific route. Mr. Wilson asked if he knew what the distance was, and Mr. Bliss objected. “It is to test his intelligence, I suppose,” said Judge Wylie. “His intelligence has already been tested,” satd Mr. Merrick. “Iknow the distance,” sald the witness, “but the government will not ‘allow me mileage for it.” “That’s the reason,” said Mr. Merrick, “that I don’t want it to come out.” “It measures,” sald the witness, “a lttle over 5,000 miles” “I think,” said Mr. Merrick, in compliment to the witness, “that he 1s entitled to pay for his 5,000 miles.” Mr. Bliss, on redirect examination, desired to uestion the witness regarding the petition on the anyon City and Fort McDermott route, having two Sheets of Utah names attached to it Mr. Wilson objected to going into this new matter, “All right,” sald Mr. Bliss, “the witness may go.” Mr. Bliss held his watch in his hands and at the end of about two seconds, before Mr. Schulz had stepped off the stand, sald: “Mr. Schulz, you may take the stand again.” ‘The witness was then examined, and fatled to recognize the names reierred to as those of Ore- gonlans. Mr. Bliss desired to show the so-called eon tition, and a petition on The Dies and Baker City route, to the jury. “I would like to know the object of that,” said Mr. Ingersoll. “My object 1s,” sald Mr. Bliss, ‘*to show that Doth are manufactured petitions, and proceeded from the same mill, 1f not from the same hand.” ‘The petitions were then handed to the jury. At one o'clock the usual recess was taken. NOTES. Mr. John A.
