was that which the grand jury has just
indicted and which were arraigned be-
fore Judge Brill yesterday morning.
Each and every one of them is as innO-
cent as if his life bad been but in con-
temptation. All pleaded not guilty. In
most cases where such large number
or prisoners are arraigneG, the judges
find many who are without means and
counsel and defense. For the benefit
OF such the court appoints counsel
at the expense of the state, that
the defendant may avail himself, to the
utmost degree, of a speedy trial. Here
tOfOre the Judges were required to APP
point as many as dozen attorneys for
the impecuniOuS band, but yesterdays
crop was armed with attorneys. nerve
ana hope. Interest centtred upon the
gang usually spoken of as the real es-
tate SwindieTs," whose alleged opera
lions are still fresh i'll the public mind.
Several of the seven indicted were in
court, and. as might be expected,
pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Louis Z. StenSgaard, charged with
passing deed by him known to be
forged and bogus. and E. j. Chadwick,
held and charged as an accOmplice, are
out on bail, and failing to appear, for
satisfactory reasons which were submit
ted TO the court, their arraignment was
postponed until Saturday morning.
Leonard Particle. member of the al
legged crooked firm of Tail IL Particle,
was indicted fOr'SiX crimes. The first
charge under the six indictments is that
of forging deed OIL May l6. 1889,
and uttering it as the genuine act and
conveyance of real estate Of one E.
Carlson. The other indictments cover
fOrgeries of notes. of which there is all
indefinite number.
FULLER DETAILS.
George Thaden, F. q. Draper and
George Kingsley are indicted Tor grand
larceny in the first degree. The acts
upon which this charge is made were
those relative to an exchange of worth
less South Duluth property and
forged mortgages for team OF
horses belonging to one Radaatz.
Kingsley, who failed to appear. is re-
ported as having Ijumped' his bail and
gone to more peaceful fields. Indict-
ments for conspiracy for the purpose of
perpetrating fraud and theft have been
found against }. B. Tall, PartellO's
partner in the real estate 'business."
C. p. LindStad. who also holds MEM
bership certificate in this very honor
able" gang, pleaded not guilty to
making and passing false instruments.
Particle is looked upon with a
severe bitterness, for it is he against
whom the greatest number of indict-
mPnts have been found. MI. Willis,
representing Chadwick and Stensgaard,
assured the court that his clients would
appear Saturday morning. Judge Egan
and Assistant County Attorney Mum
are jointly conducting these terribly
complicated cases, and all diligence and
push will be exercised to land the guilty
ones of the gang where they belong.
1t would seem from the results attained
by the grand jury and its conclusion as
to StenSgaards ease, taken by itself,
that the connection between Stems
gard and the sO-called and recognized
gang" was very indefinite, aud as
StenSgaard'S attorney declares, there
may have been no relations save those
arising out of the Uihiein forgery, to
which tlfe title insurance company fell
victim and heavy loser.
There were no pleas Of guilty. the
opinions of the prisoners as to their
ability TO stand trial and come out on
top being apparently unanimous.
