officers who have been engaged IN this
case have not been working for reward.
l admire work of art, and so stand in
admiration of this man for the defense
Indicating Mr.. Erwinl, this man who is
engaged i'll making war on the states
he is beacon light which
attracts all criminals; he is
tower of strength to them.
What cares he for factsp what cares
he for witnesses? what cares he for
character? for out of his ingenious mind
HE CAN MAKE A DEFENSE,
and he depends ON his powerful OratOIy
TO warp your minds and tear your best
judgment to pieces. Do you remembers
twisted and turned and changed their
position on this case? One day the
state thought it knew what it was fight-'
ing, but the next day an entirely differ
ent front was advanced. When Henry
Barrett went upon the witness stand
and told his story, it Hcaused the
counsel of the defense to raise from
their seats and ask for recess in order
to rally their shattered forces. | cam
imagine the counsel during the night
conjuring their brains and studying up
some new plan of defense. You will
remember that my friend here Qndicat-

case, said that Tim Barrett went home
that night on Riverside car, and that
they would prove it by creditable wit
ness. Have they proved this by cred
liable witness? Why have they NOT
brought this witness forward? Tim
says that he slept that night with his
brOther-in-law, George Coleman;
has Coleman been brought on the
stand? no, but his wife, when on the
stand, says he is at home sick. Would
not you come into court, even though
You had to be carried on a pallet,t to save
life? Then when his sister comes on
the stand she says
TIM IS FOOL.
Yes, they say he is fool, when he has
crammed himself with lies until they
are unable to eXtricate him any other
way then he is fool, man without
enough mental reservation to know how
to shoot street car driver, without
sense enough to cock revOl-
yer and shoot Thomas Tollefson,
and that under no circumstances
could Tim act as leader? Oh, no. The
testimony of Peter Barrett in this law
suit is the same testimony which he
will give in is own case. l want to
show YOU now an examination of the
record of Tim Barrett;S testimony. You
will see, gentlemen of the jury, the sig
nificance of what read to you.'
He then read a number of extracts
from the testimony of Tim Barrett and
discussed thoroughly where he had con-
tradicted himself.

NOTE AND COMMENT
Of Sights and Scenes During the
Argument.


A galaxy of detectives surrounded
the jury box, and they looked very
serious when Mr.. Davis explained their
nOn-appearance on the stand by plead
ing lack of time.
Sheriff SWenSOn should use different
tactics, and begin by keeping the lower
hall clear. If the crowd is kept on the
outside, the cold weather will quickly
dispense it.
Even the court smiled broadly when
Davis began on the dissection of "Old
Sleuth' Riel. By some grave omission
the word Hawkshaw was never used.
Why do the ladies flock in such num-
bers? The case is not a romantic one,
unless there is fascination in the very
cOld-bloOdednesS of the crime.
Ed Stevens had a lunch of oysters,
done up in loaf of bread, which the re-
pOrterS consumed. The bottle contained
hot tea-not cold tea.
1t must have been supreme agony to
Mrs. TollefSOn to sit there and listen to
the circumStantlal account of the killing
of her husband.
Judge Hicks barricaded his windows
after throwing out one adventurous
spirit. 1t was StOrming scene all
day.
lin Barrett mas very small and COM
pact hands, evidencing natural strength
of muscle, not dependent upon exer-
else.
Hector Baxter found his size and
Scotch agility of no benefit. He had to
be smuggled in like ordinary mortals.
A young lady lost her pocketbook, and
the gentlemen who sat near by were
naturally uneasy until it was found.
There was not lady in court with an
air OF refinement more conspicuous than
that of Mrs. TOllefSon.
Hon. Loren Fletcher was an interested
auditor during the afternoon. He sat
with Counselor Erwin.
W. K. Hicks listened open-mouthed to
the argument, making occasional notes
for future reference.
Mrs. Davis listened approvingly to
her husbands Grafton, and took few
notes.
Freddy was not seen about the court
room yesterday, but he was not far
away.
Mr.. Davis spoke just five hours and
seventeen minutes by the watch.
Louis Riel smiled with the rest when
his roast came.

A Mixed Case.

John NJ. Barber has begun decidedly
complicated suit against Peter Norris,
and if the court does not get tangled up
it will be a wonder. Barber was the at
tOrney for Mrs. Mary A. Becker, the
divorced wife of Morris, in an action
brought against her husband to recover
$500 for board furnished by her father
after her desertion by Morris. Her
father gave her the claim against Morris
for the $500. When she sued him Bar
Der was her attorney. She lost her case,
and to pay her attorney she assigned to
him the board bill for $500. Recently
Barber tried to bring Nicholas Morris
and Charles Ebert into court as agents
of Mr.. Morris, who cannot now be
found, but failed, and so brought the
suit

she was there and made the most Of it.
Judge Donahue leaned over and re-
marked to his senior associate:
THAT is the WidowTollefson crying"
"She has good reason and right to
cry" responded Mr.. Erwin,
Mrs. Coleman, one of the Barretts,
turned and looked fixedly at Mrs. Toll
lefson, and upon her coarse face there
was no expression but that of stOlid
curiosity. Old man Barrett also looked,
but indifferently, while Mrs. Barrett
never moved. The pretty widow sObbed
at every allusion to the murder and a
large circle of women in the court
snuff ed in sympathetic chorus.

Since then some SIS, 900 of the insurance
money on which he had no
claim was paid over to him,
and he promptly disappeared.
1t is not thought that any interest
in the real estate remains to him, and
the situation which the creditors will
probably have TO face is that there will
be approximately $4,000 left to pay

COURT HOUSE ITEMS.
The Building Never Visited by
Such Another Crowd.

1t was scarcely daylight when the adj
vance guard descended in the court
house. From that time until the court
opened they kept coming, and the worst
of it was. they kept getting in. Deputy
Sheriffs were as thick as flies at every
outpost, but the cunning crowd pushed
by, sneaked by, and got by in one way
or another, until the court house was
damned. In the afternoon it was
worse--decidedly worse. Everybody who
got in in the morning stayed there and
the rest pushed their way i'll. They
even captured the back stairs and scaled
the walls to second story windows. At
lunch time picnic scene was brought
out, as the crowd camped on the grounds.
The only redeeming feature was it's
great good nature. for it was as happy a
crowd as ever jOstled elbows or worried
corns. When Frank Davis grew elo-
quent. it drew long breath and when
he cracked joke it let out guffaw that
echoed for blocks.

WHAT CONGRESS DID.
Record Of the Work Accomplished by Our

WASHINGTON, October 20 Congress ad-
1ourned to-day. Apart from the protract=
ed discussion Of the tariff in both houses,
and the dead lock in consideration of the
bill to refund the direct tax the session
has been remarkable in several ways, but
none more than the enormous number of
measures introduced in both branches of
congress. In the senate 3,641 bills and
116 joint resolutions were presented, and
in the house the record ran up to the III
equaled figures of 1,598 bills and go
joint resolutions, making grand total of
,585 measures introduced in one session.
In the senate 1894 measures were report

GROSS NEGLIGENCE.
Verdict of the Coroner's Jury Investigating
the Recent Railroad Horror.

MAUCH CHUNK, Pa, October 22-The
coroner's jury which has been investigat-
ing the recent disaster at Mud Run on
the Lehigh Valley railway, returned a YER
dict to-day finding that the engineers of
both locomotives of the third section
we're guilty CT gross negligence in failing
to see the danger signal in time, and upon
approaching the station the engineer of
the second engine could have stopped the
train had he applied the air brakes, and
he is censured for not having done so. A
lookout man was upon each engine in adj
dition to the engineer and fireman, hay-
ing been placed there especially to watch
for signals. These men are found
GUILTY OF GROSS NEGLIGENCE.
The lookout OIL the first engine claims
that he did not see the red light; the 9th
er man testified that he saw it when about
1900 feet from the station, and yet he re-
ported "all right" to the engineer and
claims he did lot think red light meant
anything These men are guilty of neg
hgence, as is also the rear brakeman of
the second section, for while he had been
ordered to go back at least half a mile
with the red light he went less than 40
yards. The conductors of both sections
failed in their duty, one in not conforming
to the rule requiring each conductor to
see personally that his brakeman protect
ed the rear Of his train, and the other Id
not requiring his train to approach the
station under control.

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.
How :, Young Sioux Belle Caught on a New
Yorker.

STANDING Rock AGENCY, Oak, Oct. II.
A rather sensational and unique court
ship and marriage eliminated at the
agency this afternoon. Altogether it is
realistic version of Rider Haggard's "She,"
and the short but sweet history runs
thusly: Last week a party of eastern
gentlemen who were securing this section
of the country on hunting and pleasure
expedition, stopped off here to view the
agency, the Indians and their habits. In
company with the jolly tourists was
handsome young man from New York,
the son of a wealthy manufacturer of the
empire state. He at once took deep in
terest in the strange manners and Gus
toms OF the aborigines, as it was the first
chance he had been afforded to see the
Indians in their native lands, and he was
quite enchanted with the surroundings
in general. Willie the party was prepar-
ing dinner IN tfeir tent to-day, daugh-
ter of one of tie head chiefs entered, ap-
preached the astonished young man,
threw
HER ARMS AROUND HIS NECK,
and repeatedly covered him with kisses
The young man, though considerably sur
prised, made no attempt to interfere with
the girls strange behavior and he seemed
to like the performance. The maiden was
ravishingly lovely, with delicate rounded
limbs and long ringlets Of glossy dark
hair and he became completely entranced
with her beauty. and when she became
tired of showering kisses, he in turn took
her in his arms with an affectionate hug
and kiss. His companions gazed upon
the scene with unfeigned amazement
The girl stuck to him like glue, and he
was not adverse to it. An interpreter
happening to drop in then was informed
of the proceedings and he told the travel
ers that the girl had taken liking for
the young New Yorker, and in accordance
with the Sioux law he
MUST BE HER BEAUx.
The Others demonstrated, but he was
only too happy to comply with the law
and make the pretty young squaw his
bride at moments notice. The maiden
is half-breed. Her face is as white as
any white Woman's, and attired in fash
ionable and civilized garments, no one
would ever suspicion that she was of In
dian parentage. The expostulations of
his companions had no effect upon the
young man, and the marriage ceremony
was performed this afternoon according
to the strange Indian fashion, and the
is considered by them as being
legal and binding. The affair is trying to
be hushed up, and it is thought that the
young fellow will soon tire of his Sioux
bride and make himself scarce in this re-
gion.
