CRIMINAL CASES.
Yesterdays Action In the Cases Of the Stat
Against Green, O'Brien and 6tarkey.

Yesterdays Action in the Cases Of the State
Against Green, O'Brisn and starkey.
The hearing of criminal cases began in the
district court yesterday morning. Judge Wilkin
presiding at the opening of court.
The case of the State against John r. Green.
charged with committing an assault on A. O.
Savage, was called, and j. N, CASTLE, counsel
forthe prisoner, appeared and motioned for q
continuance. The assault took place on the 9th
of August in front of the Green Tree hotel, on
Robert street, and owing to the wide publicity
given the affair the public are thoroughly ia
miliar with the facts of the shooting, which
was wholly unwarranted, and resulted from q
frenzied debauch.
Counsel for defendant asked for oortinu-
anoe on the grounds of the absence of the
prosecuting witness, on whose testimony,
strange to say, the prisoner relies for q defense
An affidavit from the prisoner was read in
which was given statement of the shooting.
1t was also stated that Savage had gone to Bos-
ton, where he has taken up his permanent
place of residence. The document alleges that
Savage and the defendant never met until the
day of the shooting. In the afternoon Green
called at the barber shop conducted by Savage
and the latter declined to shave him. He then
enquired the way to the American house. The
parties left the shop aud proceeded in the di-
rection of Fourth street. On reaching the
Green Tree defendant asked if some
forty rod chain lightning could be had and
they entered the saloon. Savage took cigar.
Green drank. Green passed out the north and
the former the south entrance. They were
twenty-five feet apart when Green shot wildly
and with no intent to hit Savage. The above
is substantially what Is given in the affidavit.
In his remarks counsel intimated the de.
tense which is, first, that the men had no pre-
vious acquaintance. and, second, that they had
no quarrel, difficulty or controversy previous to
the shooting.
After continued remarks the case was con-
tinued until next term.
The case of Henry Starkey, charged with OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses, came up
on demurrer to the indictment. In this
case it is claimed that the indictment was
based on technicalities, reference being had to
the charter as it refers to contracts with the
city. It ia claimed by the prosecution that
defendant, as contractor, procured frat money
for work completed, without paying his men
The demurrer was taken under advisement.
The case of the State against Michael o. Brien
was called. aud after empanelling jury the
cause proceeded to trial. The defendant
O'Brien, was indicted for committing an as.
sault on Joseph KoseY, runner for the St. Pau
house. The attack was made at the Latter
place, and it will be remembered that the
prisoner triedsto sever KOsey's wiudpipe with
razor. The assault ia regarded as one of the most
vicious on record. The case was conducted by
Mr.. Eaean and w. w. Erwin, and Samue
Whslly for the defense. The case was or
trial at adjournment.

Il DLsGKaOED NONENTTrY.

What can the bribe-giver and corruption
list, Bill Washburn, do for Minnesota if he
is allowed to hold q seat in Congress? In
the first place he is disgraced and stands be-
fore the country branded as a dishonest
man. Any measure that he champions be-
comes tainted at once, and, no matter how
innocent it may be, his advocacy would be
regarded as primG Jaeie evidence that it was
. steal. His presence in Washington would
be blotch upon the fair fame of Minnesota
and bring the State into contempt. The
reputable congressman would feel
that q State which wiIfullv
sent such q man to Con-
gress was entitled to no consideration, bu
on the contrary, the reverse. His election,
even if you assume that he would endeavor
to serve the district, would be public dis
grace.
In the second place he would make no at
tempt, if elected, to serve the interests of
the people of the district at large. He has
no desire to do this. His ambition to 90 to
Congress is to protect his pals, the timber
thieves, and advance other personal interests
al the public expense. One of his
organs undertook to show HE
great accomplishments in Con-
gress, and all it is able to enumerate is
that he secured an extension of the postal
car system from Sparta, Wisconsin, to Min
nespolis, and that he introduced bill ap-
propriating 100000 for postofice at Min
neapolis. This latter measure his organ
thinks he will be able to secure if he is re-
elected. This is the extent of the claims
urged by his friends. The argument is SO
powerful as to need no response; every one

TO-DAY,S ELECTIONS

The most intense excitement prevails in
every part of the country as to the result of
the elections to-day IN Ohio and Indiana.
The former is naturally Republican State,
and for that reason few, except the most
sanguine Democrats, have claimed it. The
majority simply hoped. prayed and worked
for the best. Although the chances are de.
cldedly against the Democrats, they have
done some very effective work, especially
within the past few weeks, that may bring
forth good results to-day. The Congress
slonal candidates have not been idle, and a
considerable detection in the German vote,
heretofore Republican. has taken place.
There is an excellent prospect for gain of
two or three congressman, and more than
possibility that the Democratic State ticket
will be elected.
In Indiana the Democrats are expected to
make good report of themselves. The
party is united and harmonious, and all
hands have been working like beavers ever
since the campaign opened. The State has
been canvassed more thoroughly than ever
before in its history. Meetings have been
held in every school district, which have
been addressed by the most eminent speak
ers in the land. The Democrats are conf
dent while the Republicans are respondent
and practically give up the fight. There is
also almost certainty of Congressional
gains in this State. The last legislature re-
apportioned the Congressional district, and
many changes were made, nearly all of them
favorable to the Democratic candidates.
Four years ago, when Gov. Williams ma
jority over Harrison was only 5,0S4, the
districts as at present constituted voted as
follows.

Byllabus-A verdict upon an issue

On an issue az to mental capacity q witness
not an expert cannot give an opinion, general

On such an issue the contents of an instru.

FAILING to make any political capital out
of the genuine utterances of Gen. Hancock,
the Republican papers, with characteristic
mendacity, have taken to concocting bogus
ones. Gen. Hancock denounces rs utterly
unfounded the sentiments attributed to him
in regard to the tariff; says he never saw the
reporter of the paper which gave currency to
them, and has never spoken to any one on
the subject. He also pronounces as bogus
the published interview with him relative to
Grant and the Fowler episode. Anything
published in Republican papers purporting
to come from Gen. Hancock should be taken
with great many grains of salt.
