Trlrl. '
In the trial of II. II. Claiborne In the
United Slates district court, two vital
points were brought "'it liy the testimony
of witnesses for the government. The llrst
was that no record whatever was kept
or made of tho testimony of Mr. Claiborne
In tho trial of J. Albert Davis, on which
the charge of perjury against Mr. Clai
borne was based; this was testified to by
Clerk Hoyt of this court. Tho second
point was adduced by testimony of
J'ostofflce Inspector Swift, who 1ms been
regarded as the star witness for the gov
ernment. Mr. Swift made the examination
of tho premises of sub-station 1J, where
Mr. Claiborne had testified evidences of
a robbery existed. Swift corroborated
Claiborne's testimony to the effect that
such evidences were there and then wild
lis did not visit the place after Mr
Claiborne, not being In a position, there
fore, to discredit what Claiborne bad told
of other conditions which would warrant
the belief that a robbery hod been com
mittcd or attempted.
I'nlted State District Attorney Hush, as
a witness, testified also that no record was
made or kept of Claiborne's testimony
which has been Impenchi d find he end
Hoyt both said all they could tell of that
testimony wes what they could recall
from memory.
Itesrarded as Personal Prosecution
This ."ase possesses considerable Interest
from the fact thnt It was very generally
regarded as a personal prosecution ugalnst
a member of The flee staff through the
unfriendliness, based on political grounds
of I'nlted States l!strlrt Attorney Sum
mers for K. Itosewater. editor of The Hee,
The offense with which Mr. Claiborne In
charged, is that of perjury, growing out
pf the testimony he gave In the trial of ens
J. Albert Davis, who was tried on the
charge of embezzling postal and money
order funds from the safe of the sub-
postofrlce station B, In Omaha, during Jan
uary. 1900. and of which Davis was acquit
ted This testimony was In effect that Mr.
. Claiborne, In hls'eapaclty of a newspaper
reporter, had made a personal examination
of the premises and safe In the pnstofflee
station and had reached the conclusion
that a rrrbbery had been committed, and
that the burglar had brdken Into the post
office station through a coal hole or win
dow opening In tho basement and thus
gained access to the upper room and had
pried open the safe drawers with a stove
poker or shaker. Ha stated further thera
were finger or hand marks on the dust
about the window casing of the coal hole
and evidences of footprints In the coal
pile Immediately thereunder. Indicating
that someone did or could have entered
the basement by that window. This ex
amination Mr. Claiborne testified he made
about January 22. 1900.
Charge la Delayed.
J. Albert Davis was Indicted for embez
zlement on November 21. 1900, and his trial
was held Jnnuhry 3, 1901, a year after the
embezzlement was said to have been com
mitted, and It waa at this trial that Mr.
Claiborne testified. Nothing was said At
that time regarding the falsity of Mr.
Claiborne's testimony and It was not until
Muv 21. 1902. thai an Indictment was. re
turned against Mr. Claiborne for perjury,

and a subsequent Indictment taking the
place of the May Indictment was returned
.gainst him December 11, 19oj.
The first trial of the rase against Mr.
Claiborne virtually began this morning,
nearly a year and three months since his
Indictment, end three years after the al
leged false testimony was given.
The taking of testimony began at 1:30,
with District Clerk n. C. Hoyt as the first
witness. His testimony related to the fact
that he had administered the oath to Mr.
Claiborne as a witness In the Davla trial
In his capacity as district clerk.
Mr. Connell, attorney for Mr. Claiborne.
objected to this evidence on the ground that
thej Indictment stated that the oath had
been administered by the court and that
the dltsrlct e'erk was not the court. "
Judge Mungrr heM that while there, waa
some basis for the objection, yet the fact
remained that tho clerk of tho district court
was a part of the court, hence he would
overrule the objection, permitting Mr. Con
nell to take exception to the ruling.
o Record of Testimony.
Mr. Hoyt's further evidence waa In effect
the form of oath he administered to Mr.
Claiborne and the nature of the testimony
he gave at the Davla trial. He remembered.
he said, that Claiborne had stated that he
opened the drawer of the safe with tho
poker or stove shaker, but he did not re
member that he testified regarding the
finger marks on the basement window or
foo;maiks In the coal 'pile. In the cross
examination Mr. Connell asked Mr. Hoyt:
U "Was there any record made of the
evidence at this trial, the trial of Bert Da
vis for embezzlement?"
A. "None whatever."
Q. "Was there any record raado of ths
evidence of Mr. Clalborna at this trial In
January, 1901?" ,
A. "None whatever."
Q "Then your testimony hero today la
bared simply upon your recollection of what
happened at that trial?"
A. "That Is all, except that I remember
that Mr. Claiborne's evidence created quite
a sensation at the time and that la how I
happen to remember It."
Hash on the Stand.
The next witness was S. R. Hush, Aa-
sistant United States district attorney, who
tried the case against J. Albert Davis.
Ha testified aa to the evidence given by
Mr. Claiborne before the Jury and that ho
waa rather Vn pressed with Its Importance
particularly aa tclatlng to the probability
of an entrance having been effected
through the coal hole, and the subsequent
tampering with the safe. Mr. Connell
asked Mr. Rush:
"In working up the rase did you exam
ine the safe to see whether It had ben
tampered 'with, as stated by Mr. Clai
borne?" No. The first I saw of the safe was
three or four days ago."
Mr. Rush further confirmed the state
ment made by the district clerk that no
record had been made of the evidence
produced In the trial of Davis and that his
evidence given at this hearing waa merely
from his recollection of the facts occurlng
at the time.
Jeff Stone of Lincoln, and formerly a
member of the petit Jury which tried tho
Duvis case, testified as to tho statement
made by Mr. Claiborne regarding his pry
ing open the safe with a stove poker.
He did not remember about what Clai
borne testified to .regarding tho window
nd coal pile In the basement.
Swift Tells of Inspection.
A.' O. Swift, postofflce Inspector, testified
that he had visited the substation on Jan
uary 16 and 17, the day before and tho day
following the alleged robbery, but was not
there after Mr. Claiborne had made hla
examination. He had not made a special
examination of the premises the day pre
vious, but did examine them January 17,
1900. He said he saw no evidence of tho
duat on the window having been disturbed
o of the coal pile having been tramped
upon. He did not remember that they
lighted the gas In the basement. Mr.
Crowe, postmaster, and Mr. Grove, tho
station agent, were with him when he made
the examination. He examined the safe
and found the combination lock undis
turbed, but said that a piece of wood about
two and a half Inches long had been
chipped or broken off the top of 'the upper
drawer of the safe as If It had been done
In an attempt to force the drawer. He
raid the lock eaten to the drawer waa
slight and could be displaced by a alight
presaure and the drawer opened without
unlocking. He made this examination three
or four days before Mr. Claiborne had made
his examination and he had not been at the
premises between January 17, 1900, und the
tune Mr. Caiborne examined the premises.

General Manager Bancroft Retarno
from Sew York and Telia of
These Plana and that of
Shop BoUdlng.
W. H. Bancroft, general manager of the
Union Pacific, haa returned from New
York, where ha has been In consultation
with I'te older. t Harrlman during the past
week.
When asked regarding reported changes
In the officials of the system under his
Jurisdiction the general manager stated
that he had none In view at this time,
and that all the reporta regarding changes
were unfounded, so far as he Is aware.
"There will be but one extension of tho
lines of the Harrlman system west of the
Missouri during the coming year. The new
line will be about sixty miles In length
and will open up a rich Irrigated territory
In tho Snake river valley south of Sho
shone, "Idaho," said Mr. Bancroft.
"In thla valley there la being constructed
at thla time Irrigation works which will
open up, when completed, 270,000 acres of
the richest territory In the west. The
work Is being done by private enterprise
In the person of several Pennsylvania cap
italists. About fifty miles of the main
ditch haa been completed, and the greatest
part of the work, that of damming tho
Snake river haa been started. The dam
to bo built will coat ll.5O0.OC0.
Will Open Farm Lands.
"When the work Is entirely completed
the farming land In the state of Idaho will
be Increased by about 50 per cent. The
opening of this vast tract will cause un
precedented prosperity In the stato. It Is
J to furnish an outlet for the crops that are
to be raised In this vast district that the
new lino of tho Union PacTnc Is to be con
structod.
"Tho new building to be erected nt the
local shops of tho company will be begun
at an early date," said Mr. Bancroft; "and
work on them will be pushed as rapidly
as possible until they are finished. The
first building to bo put up will be a car
shop and It will be a mammoth affair.
I have not as yet had time to look over
the plans for this building and as I have
not asked Mr. Berry, chief engineer, for
an estimate It would be Impossible for me
to tell you at this time what the new
buildings will cost."
Tho Marysvllle, Kan., branch of the road
Is to bo reconstructed this year, but ho
admitted that some Improvements would
be made on that line, though not of an
extensive nature.
Mr. Bancroft has not yet decided when
he will take up hla residence In this city
He will leave for a trip west Thursday
morning, but Just how long he will bo ab
