Some of the Peculiar Expressions

Some of the Peculiar Expressions
in the Prosecutors Argument
An act is the result of a mental i'm
pulse. How quickly did that theoreti-
cal edifice, appraised by counsel, crumble
into dust beneath the weight of cross
examination. There has been no evidence
in this case, material to the defense, that
has not been given by some person
whose character Is smirched with crime.
This conspiracy between Henry Barrett
and the two mysterious strangers is
fabric of air and creature of the mag
inatiOn. Such testimony will never
shield the breasts of these two men
from the assaults of justice. When this
Barrett case, the most celebrated in the
annals of Hennepin county, shall pass
into history, the blood and thunder story
of Louis Riel shall shine out as the most
magnificent theory of a magnificent de-
tense; and wherever the Barrett case
shall be known, shall go the story of
Louis Riel, the young cyclone of the
Northwest. How they do shuttle and
twist and squirm! DO you believe Henry
Barrett could have gone into the COM
munity and found two men better quail
fled to aid him in the commission of
this crime that Tim and Pete? Remorse,
the great destroyer. My assistant, Mr..
Jamison. / do not stand here as the
apOlogist of Henry Barrett. Let the
Walls of wrath be poured on his head, if
you will, but let us see if they can break
down his story. Truth is truth, no mat
ter what its source. No murder was
ever yet traced home to its perpetrators
where the evidence was purely circum-
stantial unless one of the parties gave 1T
away. Before God, l have done my
duty.

This letter was Ostensibly written by
daughter of the gentleman who married
the widow. The writer asked if the
marriage had really taken place, and
said that if it had she wanted all the
particulars. She had heard, she said,
that her father had married a Mime

there was rumor current that an effort

some time looking over the ground. 1t
Is not certain, however, that Minneapolis
will be the lucky city, as num-

get the plant. 1t is the ultimate inten-
ton OF the company to erect works
which will furnish employment for

this enterprise alone represents popu-
latiOn of from 1900 to 10000; while its
influence in attracting outside capital
for investment and in bringing in
other manufactures and industries is
almost incalculable. Mr.. Post is favor

The Opening Argument of County
Attorney Davis.
County Attorney Davis began his ar
gument as soon as court convened. He
said: In this case you are to be above
sympathy. You are to give a just YER
dict according to the evidence. This
murder did not occuri uring an affray nor
because of any malice to the deceased,
but it was fOotpadS' murder for few
paltry dollars. Who was this man; a
man of wealth? No; but it was man

and little ones. What place for muir

and stormy night; the proximity to that

thought it could carry this secret, for
the time did come when it cried like
Cain. 1t cried aloud: at is more than
/ can stand" The burden of his con-
science was more than he could stand.
1t was secret that he could not keep.
He has said on the witness stand it was
the promise of immunity which made
him confess. Was this man tracked

Was he cOrnered by the officers of the

confession of a burdened conscience,

of sin. Who is the innocent man in the
case? Is it this Tim Barrett, or is it the
murdered TOllefSOn? You have heard
the counsel on the other side invoke
the aid of the bill of rights that

you let this man go it will be impossible

Because an officer is jealous in his
duty they complain against him; be-

by all that the argument was very able
one and that Mr.. Davis acquitted HIM
self with the greatest credit. About
the only criticism offered was that
the attorney very frequently spoke as

jury. His effort was mastery group

the state in the most powerful and con-

MADE A HIT.
The Gypsy Baron" Well Received
at the Grand.

The Conried Opera company, in
Strauss tuneful opera, The GYPSY
Baron" presented the same at the
Grand yesterday afternoon and night.
The audiences were large and the opera
was enthusiastically received. 1.-The
Gypsy Baron" is delightful opera, be-
ing full of the most melOdiOus measures
and catchy airs, and the lyrics tell a
story of Magyar romance. The hero.
the Gypsy baron, coming to claim his
title and fortune, falls in with
Gypsy encampment, and between
two loves. as foil, chooses a
Gypsy SAT-, and runs the gauntlet of
adventures. finding treasure trove aud
going to the wars. The opera furnishes
full opportunity for the scenic artist
and cOstumer, and they are we'll repre-
Sented, for the mise en- scene is most
gorgeous. The tableaux and drills
show master stage manager, and the
female huSsar march in the third act
has never been eQualed on the local
stage. The cast is superb. Laura Bel
lini-as SAT-, looks charming, and her
full, rich voice was heard to
admirable advantage in the role.
SignOr Taglieri as the baron, possesses
an agreeable and light tenor voice of
pure quality, and sang and acted his
part with verve and ease. Jacques
Kruger as the frisky pig dealer was ex-
tremely funny, and his gags were
happily received. The remaining parts
were well sustained. Taken as whole
the Conried Opera company is the best
opera comique company ever seen here.
Same opera tonight.
That laughable comedian. Ezra F.
Kendall. in his funny creation "a Pair
of Kids" will be at the Grand the first

vance sale opens Friday.

PITEOUS SOBS
OF the Murdered Mans Widow
Heard in Court.

There are thousand little aids that
are dextrously employed by bright at
torneys in lawsuits, and when it comes
to the Importance of murder trial
effects and appearances are made the
most of. While Mr.. Davis was elo-
quently pointing out to the jury the
Nervousness of the crime of shedding
innocent blood sob broke out in the
center of the room, followed by q
copious flood of tears. All eyes turned
in that direction. Tim Barrett. the de-
PENDANT, turned around in his chair and
looked directly into those of the widow
of the man whose life he is charged
with having taken. Her frame was
shaken with the storm of sobs, but Tim
turned back again, without the trace of
an emotion on his face. Dozens of
specta tors looked in the same direction,
and every face betrayed emotion save
that of the man on trial for his life.
Mrs. TOllefsOn was accompanied by her
mother, and the pair sat directly
behind the group of Barretts. The
widow was dressed i'm deep mourning; ;
and, weeds, tears and all, was pretty
and attractive picture. Mr.. Davis knew
