GILL AND CHIEF
DENY ALL BRIBES
SEATTLE, March 27.—The main
.point of interest in the Gill trial
today was the fact that both Gill
and Chief Beckingham were on the
witness stand and both emphatically
denied everyone of the Bilingsiey
allegations when the king of the
bootleggers was on the stand.
Beckingham swore point blank
that he never in all his career re
ceived one cent from Billingsley. He
said in cross examination that he
NOTICE OF FORFEITURE.
To Joe Wise, your heirs, ex
ecutors, assigns or personal re
presentatives:
You are hereby notified that I
have expended in labor and improve
ments the sum of one hundred dol
lars each year for the years of 1914,
1915 and 1916 on the Hidden Treas
ure claim, a lode claim situated on
right limit of Negsue Creek and re
corded and more fully described in
the records of the Cape Nome Min
ing and Recording District, Second
Division, Territory of Alaska.
The above amount has been ex
pended under the provisions of the
law concerning annual labor upon
mining claims, being the amount
required to hold said claim.
And you are further notified that
if you fail to contribute your pro
portion of said expenditure within
ninety days after the last publica
tion of this notice, your interest in
said claim will become the property
of the undersigned, your co-owner,
under section 2324 Revised Statutes
of the United States.

had not arrested Billingsley after
August 30, when he (the defendant)
is alleged to have been bribed, be
cause Billingsley had no drug stores
or other place of business as they
all knew, but he had had previously
when the arrests were made. It was
because the city had driven Billings
ley out of busines that they (the
defendants) were now' being prose
cuted.
Gill on the stand this afternoon
at length reviewed his career in Se
attle and point blank denounced the
bribery charge as “falser than hell
has ever thought of being”. It was
an outrageous attempt upon the
part of criminals to hound him for
preventing them practicing their
criminal careers under his adminis
tration.
Gill said this determined attempt
upon the part of Billingsley to
frame up charges against him had
the co-operation of every enemy he
ever made in the city of Seattle
and they were both numerous and
powerful, many of them criminals.
