Roberts, a garage owner, also of Rolfe, Ia, ,who wanted to look into “In a room in the Mcrchants hotel where Mr. Perry took me,” he said “I was shown pictures of the kind of horses they had on' the range. They were nice gray ones and I decided that if I made the deal I would take as many of the dappled grays as pos-| sible.” He said that was agreeable to Perry and J.

E. House, an attorney of Schaf- fer, S. D.,, was next called upon the stand and told of his futile efforts of trying to get back the property of George McDonald, former barber of Draper, S. D., and Jack Hayward of the same place, who had traded for some of the wild animals. “I came to Omaha and told Mr, Hodder, the attorney for the United States Land company, that I wanted to get the pmgcrty back and that there were no horses in Arizona as had been represented. That Telegram. M. H. Roberts of Rolfe, Ia., garage owner, corroberated Everett’s testi- mony. He said that he had come to Omaha to trade his North Dakota| homestead for some of the horses if they were as they had been rep- resented. “And why didn't you trade?” he was asked. “I didn’t think that the horses they claimed to own could be as good as what they represented,” he said. “And while I was in the room, J. C. Smith showed me a telegram which said that he had lost one of his stallions on the range valued at $1,600 and I knew that the scheme was a fake,” he said. \ but that my clients had been unable to catch them, “When I called his attention to the fact that his name appeared on one of the bills of sale as an officer of the | the deal, he told me that he did think his name had been signed to one of the contracts, but that he had no re- sponsibility in the matter. . House then told of how he was re- ferred from one officer of the com- pany to the other without getting any satisfaction, | “Nearly all told me that the horses | were on the range, but that my clients had been unable to catch them.” Peter Allison, wanted by govern- ment attorneys to appear in the case and who had been advertised for in papers all over the country, appeared to testify, He arrived from Pacific Junction, Kan.
