The case Of the State Of Minnesota
vs.. Nicolas Metzen, on trial at the time
last week s issue Of the REVIEW went
to press, terminated Thursday forenoon,
the jury finding the defendant guilty.
This was the bastardy case. in which
Miss Mary Bieble was complainant.
The court sentenced the defendant,
Nicolas Metzen, to pay the costs Of
prosecution, 5000, and to provide for
the maintenance of the child until it is
twelve years old, by making monthly
payments of $3.50. As the child is
now about two years old the sentence
OF the court will require an expenditure
ri 81, 200 on the part of Metzen, saying
nothing of the fees Of his own attorney.
Being unable to the fine and give
the required bond for the carrying out
of the latter part of the sentence, he
was remanded to Jail where he still lin
gered at last accounts.
Some tall swearing. was done in this
case, and one of the witnesses for the
defense has since skipped for parts un-
known, fearing the wrath of a Justly
indignant public. When young men
so far forget themselves and offer testi-
mony that does not bear semblance
OF truth, and of the most degrading
character, they are unfit to live in a
civilized community, and New Ulm
has probably seen the last of one of the
young men who figured so conspicu-
ously as witnesf for the defense in this
case.
In the glandered horse case the court
sentenced Nicolas Metzen to pay fine
of 5000, which he paid.
Aug. Broscheit, the forger, was SEN
fenced to Imprisonment in the State
prison at Saltwater for a period of five
years. Annie, Broscheit's alleged wife,
who had entered plea of mot guilty"
to the Indictment of forgery, was re-
leased from custody on the motion of
County Attorney Somerville, there not
being sufficient evidence to convict.
The case of the State of Minnesota a.
gainst John Heiman and Gottlieb
Schroth for assaulton Henry Klare was
taken up Thursday, each Of the defend
ants being arraigned at separate
times. Schroth plead guilty and was
sentenced to pay a fine of $50. John
Herman entered a plea of mot guilty
and the case was tried by jury. The
case occupied the court until Saturday
morning. The jury found the defend.
ant guilty and he was sentenced to pay
q fine of 5000. Both fines were paid
Saturday.
Besides the indictments reported il
last weeks issue of the REVIEW, thu
grand jury also found true bill a
gainst Matthias Schneider, former
saloon keeper in Sleepy Eye, for selling
liquor to William Duncan after havin!
been formally notified by Duncan
wife not to do so. Mr.. Schneider wa
arraigDed Thursday and entered pie
of not guilty. He was bound over il
the sum of 5000 to appear for trial &
the adjourned term of court in Janus
~.
4 Louis A. Larson, Of Springfield, wa
indicted for assaulting A. E. Aarna
with revolver. Larson heard of tb
indictment and skipped for parts un
known before the sheriff could accom-
| plish his arrest. Larson will com
back and stand trial when he looks 8
the matter in the right light.
An Indictment was found aoains
Herman Reitz, of the town of Eden, fo
swearing falsely to bis assessment pa
pers. The case has not been dropped
as stated in the Herald, but the count,
attorney is cognizant of the fact tina
to make out q case will require NOR
evidence than has yet been placed a
his command.
The g rand jury made report upo
the condition of the county buildings
and recommended to the Board {
County Commissioners better ventil:
ton for the Jail; that a new floor
laid in the Jail, and that the high fenc
around the Jail be moved back so as
admit sunlight to the Jail. The latte
recommendation was made by forme
grand jury. but the county commission
ers paid no attention to the same.
The court ordered second papers /
! be issued to Carl Brauns, Ed. Flick
Gottfried Schenk, James Clancy, A
bert Mattke, Hermann Moritz Noack
Andres G. Anderson.
