COULD CONVICT CHRI8T I
WITH PICKED JURIES
I Conunueu it.otn uage 1)
possession I Ik* original reports
nf Hums' agents In him and
those assisting hint regarding
Ihf names of proposed junns,
which reports wi-iv math; prior lo
Lite lilting of I lie ho\. Some of
the communis upon these names
were as follows:
Tagging Proposed Jurors.
"'Convictor from the wonl go.'
'Socialist. Anti-Mitchell.' Con
victor from the word g<>; just
read Ihe imlidinent. Populist.'
'Think In- is a Populist. If so,
convictor. <Sond reliable man.'
'Convictor. Democrat. Kates
llerinunn.' 'Hide hound Demo
crat. Not apt to see any good in
a Republican.' 'Would he apt to
he for i c. \ ict ion.' 'lie is apt to
wish Mitchell Sung. Think lie
would he a fair juror.' 'Would
tic very iikely 16 convict any He
• M,hlic;o. politirian.' 'Convictor.'
'Would convict. Christ.' 'Convict
CI rist. Populist.'. 'Convict any
one. Democrat.' Burns favorite
way of describing an unsatisfac
tory juror was to designate him
as a B.' and lists are check
ed as 'S. B.,' 'S. B.,' etc. Attached
to the Polk county list found
among Burns' papers is a slip
bearing the following indorse
ment: 'Pat McArthur checked
all on Polk county lisi who were
good: cheeked X on said list for
'S. B.s.' "
Whehi charges of jury-packing
were made by friends of Jones in
asking for his pardon, Heney and
B.urns were asked to make state
ments. Heney filed a report of 77
pages, tlie burden of which was
kthat he knew of nothing of the
kind being dony an(j did not be
lieve it was done. When it is
remeinhere(| that lleney and
Burns were handling the cases
together, the office boy would
lau^h at the suggestion that eith
er was doing anything the other
did not know all about. And I hen
Heney is so notoriously crooked
that no intelligent person know
ing his reVor,| would believe him
on oath.
Burns Avoids Explanation.

Numerous affidavits and other
evidence raised a conclusive pre
sumption that intimidation was
employed. Irregularities had
been practiced in public land
eases for many years, coimtennn
ced by federal oll'ieials, in sonu*
iustanees for eorrupl reasons,
whil others were mere lax ad
ministration of the law for eoii
voniem-e where parties were on

The shyster method.* of Hums j

that they had a stool-pigeon

Jones and used him as a spy. j
