THE OMAHA DAILY 13EK: SUNDAY. FEIlItUAUY 12. 1WS. LESSER SET FREE BY COURT Judge Garland Takes Caie from Jury and Dismisses the Charge. ANOTHER SUMMERS INDICTMENT FALLS FLAT Special Jttrat of Land OHIre, Arrnf ol Ftlolfrlii Kspeaae Arcoanla, la Liberated Dfraatc of Wenkneaa nf Indictment. The ca8 of W. n. Lewer of Tama, la., wpeflnl Pgrnt of the t'nlted Slates land department, on trial before Judge C'arland for the alleged falsification of Ills expense accounts carta) to an abrtipt termination yesterday. Judgo C'arland directing- the. Jury to find a verdict of not guilty, and ordering the discharge of the accused. At the close of the evidence for the government the attorney for the defendant moved that a verdict be directed for him. The court stated that the motion would be granted on the ground that the gist of the rffenso charged was the presenting of false claims to the government for ap proval and payment; that while the evi dence showed that the claim was made out In Nebraska, there was no showing that any part of the presenting by mailing or otherwise took place In Nebraska. Hence the jury was directed to Tiring In a verdict for the defendant and his discharge ordered. ' I nlted States Attorney Baxter says that "under said ruling It would be practically Impnrslblo to secure a conviction In cases of this klnJ. for the act of presenting a false claim by mailing It or otherwise would bo an Individual act, known only to the Individual." Charges Against Lesser. The Indictment of Mr. Lesser grow out of Investigations made by Mr. Lesser ns a special agent of the lnnd department In un dertaking to ferret out Illegal acts of fenc-. lng the public lands by tho cattle barons during tho regime of Special Agent Mosby some three or more years ago. Charges were brought against Lesser, It Is alleged, nt tho Instance of the cattlemen, who felt nggrleved at some of his work, and finally In November, 1903, Lesser wns Indicted by the federal grand Jury for rendering false expense accounts. Tho case was tried In May, IMA, and owing to illness In the family of one of tho Jurors before whom the case was tried, the Jury was discharged and a new trial was ordered. This Is the trial that has Just been finished, with a verdict for Lesser. The cam is one of the Indictments brought about through the Industry of former Dis trict Attorney Summers,' and has met the fate of all. that have been tried. There yet remains on the docket of this famous session of the federal grand Jury the land-fencing cases, In which Uartldt Richards, Frank Currlo and other extensive rattle owners stand indicted for the illegal fencing of public lands. These cases will be tried nt the May term of the United States court for this district, as It will bo Impossible to reach them this term. . .. . Honor to a Loral Advertising- Man.
