FELTON DENIES HE ADVISED DIMOND TO “BONE” HYDE Well Known Citizen Testifies in Land ‘ Case. Ex-Senator Charles N. Felton was | called as a witness yesterday afternoon | on behalf of Henry P. Dimond, one of | the defendants in the land frauds | hearing. Questioned by Samuel Knight | | of Dimond'’s counsel, he confirmed the | defendant’s testimony saying tha: | Dimond had consulted him in December | last as to the advisability of demanding | further compensation from his former client, Fred A. Hyde. On many details | of their interview, however, the ex-| Senator's memory either failed to con- firm Dimond or contradicted him more | or less positively. In particular, he dis- | agreed with Dimond as to the date of | their consultation, the exhibition to the witness of one of the anonymous let- ters and his alleged advice that Di-| mond “bone” Hyde for more money. The portion Dimond’s testimony affected by Felton’s statement is that in which the defendant quoted the venerable statesman in justification of his cou in reading to Hyde the by anonymous letter, already published, | that urged Dimond to betray his| former client and promised him a Government retainer to join in Hyde's prosecution. Dimond testified that his sultation with Felton occurred | his interview with Hyde and when the Senator had read the specified, he advised Dimond to | him for a that, letter show it to Hyde and “bone’ share in the profits of the Aztec land | The now famous interview be- Dimond and Hyde occurred on last, four days after the| arrest of John A.

This led to some debate, McEnerney at first refus- ing to give up any portions of the so- | | callea Ellen Ellsworth letters. The mat- ter was finally compromised, however, | by Wheeler and Knight waiving their claim of right to put Hyde on the stand and getting in return for this conces- | sion a clipping from an anonymous | | epistle printed with a lead pencil that | wag sent to Hyde in 1899; also another excerpt from a typewritten letter re- ceived by Dimond's codefendant in August, 1903. These were the only| anonymous letters in Hyde's posses- ! sfon, McEnerney said, except the Town ! Talk letter, already in evidence. These two letters from which the clippings| were taken were wholly devoted to| abuse of Hyde's family and contained no reference to land matters. The specimen of the pencil-printed letter offered in evidence shows consid- { erable similarity in its lettering to the {he had a Gov | anonymous pen-printed letter sent to Secretary Hitchcock of the Interior De- | partment, which Heney says Dimond wrote, and less resemblance to the ex- emplar of Dimond's pen-printing pro- | duced by him on the witness stand last Monday. The resemblance between the first two documents is especially no- ticeable in the formation of the letter VENEZUELA MAY SHIP CATTLE TO AMERICA | Department of Agriculture Grants Permission Providing Stock Shall Not Be for Breeding. WASHINGTON, April 29. — At to- day's Cabinet meeting Secretary Wil- son reported that the Department of Agriculture had granted permission to the Venezuelan Government to import into the United States 1000 head of Venezuelan cattle. Of course, the cus- tome duties will have to be paid on the cattle. They will be shipped to New York, consigned to an abattoir. No breeding cattle are to be among the number imported, the idea being o use them exclusively for food. The de- | partment is exceedingly careful about all importations of livestock, and each animal imported from Venezuela will be rigidly Inspected.

SAN JOSE, April If the strange been received at the Sheriff’s office. In January last Sheriff Langford received a letter from Lupe Marron who resides on the old Dunham ranch | | at Dulzura, San Diego County, miles from the Mexican line, in which he mentioned a strange and mysterious wild man who was making his home in the hills there. Dunham'’s father had owned a bee ranch in that vicinity, and some years before the sextuple murders at Campbell James Dunham bhad lived there. The murderer Kknew the country thoroughly, and Marren thought that the wild man might be the much-sought murderer. Sheriff Langford wrote to Marron, asking full particulars, and received the following reply: il #A EAL A, DELZURA, Feb Sheriff Langford—Dear Sir: ~ Having your Jetter asking for information of the man that is in tbis part of the count not know that it js James Dunham, it is. He 1s such a wild, shaggy man I thi it is hard 1o teli. I am iiving on the old man Dunhanv's place and have seen Jim Dunham, but it was long ago.

He will not speak to any one if they speak to him, but gets ut of the way as soon as possible. 1 have not seen him fe out & month. It/ would be impossible track him, for he has rawhide tied around his feet and seldom steps out on the trail. In rid- ing through the mountains locking for stock I | might run onto him again.

STANDS BY HIS EMPLOYER. Herbert L. Clarke, Hyde's ¢ ed clerk, who has figured so often as the “office boy” in the testimony, Wwas called by Dimond's attorneys. He proved himself the owner of a remark- ably bad memory and showed a strong sense of loyalty to his emplover. His favorite answer was, “I do not remem- ber.” He remembered, however, that Dimond had authorized him to use his rubber name stamp for land office let- ters during his absence, and that the Hyde-Dimond correspondence was filed | in the office in such a way that every one about the place had access to it. His account of his interviews with De- tective Burns was also given. Heney cross-examined Clarke in a way that soon destroyed any value his testimony may have had for the defense. The witness admitted that only a part of the letters from Dimond to Hyde were put on the office files. Heney then named a number of the letters now in evidence which are | claimed by the Government to show | their writer's collusion in Hyde's al- leged fraudulent transactions, and Clarke said none of them had ever been | filed within reach of the office staff. | He himself had never seen or heard 4 of the letters specified. He also ad- mitted having agreed with Burns to | keep their interviews secret—a promise which he had immediately broken by telling Hyde all that occurred. Clarke | was one of the office boys that carried deeds and other papers in wholesale lots to notaries, who obligingly afiixed their acknowledgment or jurat without seeing the persons whose acts they purported to attest. He adritted all this, and was also driven by Heney to | confess that he had signed his name as witness to documents to which the name of -the fictitious Elizabeth Di- mond had been affixed. He had never AMERICAN REGISTER GRANTED TO PYRENEES President Signs Bill With Gold Pen Presented by Owner of the Vessel. WASHINGTON, April 29.—A bill granting American register to the ship Pyrenees, in ‘Oakland harbor, which passed the Senate two months ago, got through the House after 1 o’clock yes- terday’ and was enrolled ten minutes | before 2, when Congress adjourned. Captain Thayer had purchased a gold pen, which he handed to the President with which to sign the bill and which pen he says he proposes to give to his son to be kept as a family heirloom. The Pyrenees was burned at sea and beached at the island of Mauga Reva, 4000 miles from San Francisco. Captain Thayer bought the wreck for $1250. He has expended $23,000, and will expend some $40,000 to rebuild her. She will be renamed Mauga Reva. e —————————— Williamson Asks Heavy Damages. FRESNO, April 20.—William P.
