After Which the Stensgaard
Case Belongs to the
Jury.

Account OF Carpenter

tradition.

In all probability Louis L. StenSgaard
will know his fate before the dawn of
another day. Yesterday it was agreed
that Mr.. Egan and Mr.. Willis should
have but an hour and half each for
their closing arguments. As the court
is to open at o'clock this morning, the
arguments will be finished at II O'Clock,
and the case will 90 to the jury during
the noon hour. 1t is generally thought
that the jury will reach an agreement
within an hour or two after the case is
submitted to them.
Yesterday the defense scored a good
point by placing five well-knOwn and
highly respectable citizens on the stand
to impeach the testimony of Edgar Car
yer, who SwOre that StenSgaard had
spoken to him in reference to the Uih-
lein property before the forged deed
was executed. Carver is the witness
who claimed that StenSgaard had said
to him: 81 have man 10 represent
Uihlein.'
E. Z. Mcdonald. the lawyer, took the
stand, and said he knew Carver's repu-
tatiOn as 10 veracity. He wouldn't be-
iieve him under oath. Elias Caminsky
swOre that he knew Carver to be a man
of questionable character. Henri
Meyer all testified that they knew
Carver, and wouldn't believe him under
oath.
Frederick Nelson, Justice of the peace,
testified that Stensgaard had borne
very good reputation. The entire tes-
timOny of L. l.. Draper, as taken at the
preliminary trial, was read by Lawyer
Nelson. By Diapers testimony the de-
Tense showed that the stranger who
represented himself as August Uihlein
had appeared at Diapers Office several
times; that he had signed and acknOwl-
edged the deed, and delivered it to
Stensgaard. The testimony also showed
that Draper had no knowledge of the
real August Uihlein, and supposed it
was the strangers true name. Dra-
per'S testimony further showed that
Col. BisSell, of the title insurance CON-
pany, visited him in jail and promised
to help him if he would testify against
StenSgaard, and threatened to prosecute
him bitterly if he refused. The state
introduced no testimony in cOntradic-
ton of that OF Draper.
In rebuttal the state called Col. Bis
sell to the stand again. He admitted
that he asked Stensgaard to sign paper
releasing the policy on the forged deed.
Stensgaard had told BisSell he would do.
what he could to help the insurance
company out. BisseIl then conferred
with Mr.. Stevens. who prepared the pa
per which it was proposed to have Stems
gard sign. BisseIl then asked Stems
gard to sign the release, but the latter
replied by saying that he would first
confer with his attorney. Stensgaard
afterwards told Bissell that he would
not sign the release as his attorney had
advised him that the policy was legit
innate liability of the insurance COM
pany's. Court adjourned soon after 2

So the Brother Of the Missing
Man Said---Hopes He Is Still
Living.
Fl. J. Kemper, son of the ex-goyer-
nor of Virginia, spent several days in
st. Paul this week, searching for his
missing brother. Charles Kemper, who
disappeared from this city last June
under mysterious circumstances. He
came on from Virginia in response to a
telegram received by his father fro m
Kemper BOcOck, of the New York
Press, when it was reported that he
body of the missing man had been found
horribly mutilated on the bank of Lake
Johanna. BocOck. who is relative of
the Kempers, had been searching
for information of the missing
man for several menths, and
promptly wired the father when the
Johanna story became current. The
brother who came to st. Paul used
every precautiOn to keep the fact of his
visit here from the newspapers, and
conducted his investigations in very
quiet manner. He departed for his
home yesterday morning, fully con-
WINGED that the body at the morgue is
not that of his missing brother, but still
in doubt as to the young mans fate.
The late associates of young Kemper
believe that he is still living, and hope
that the publicity recently given the
case will result in his making his where
abouts known to the troubled family.
favorite theory is that the young man
became tired of leading life of idfe-
ness and resolved, to;uSe a Western ex-
preston. to ''rustle" for himself. and
that he became hard up and would not
write home until his difficulties could
De overcome. 1t is barely possible that

LILLIAN DID NOT ELOPE.
The Prima Donna of the Brigands
Is Coaching Her Voice. t-'~


Is Coaching Her Voice. '.
New YORK. Nov. ia dispatch from
Chicago last night stated that Lillian
Russell, the prilna donna of the Casino
"Brigands" company, had eIoped with
Walter Sanford. well-known and
wealthy New Yorker. 1t is true that
Miss Russell left Chicago last night for
New York. but otherwise the statement
is false. When it was decided late in
the summer to send a company ON the
road, an agreement was made with Miss
Russell whereby she had permission to
leave the company two or three
nights before the conclusion of a
lengthy engagement in any city
and proceed to the next ''stand'
in order to recuperate her voice prior to
beginning the new engagement. This
is all there is to the case N point. Yes
terday she telegrapfed Mr.. Aronson.
that she would start for New York on
the 5 O'Clock limited. The company
opens at Philadelphia Monday night,
and Miss Russell's trip east is solely for
the purpose of resting herself for Mon
day nights performance. While i'm this
city she will visit her daughter, who is
in a convent at Fort Lee, and whom she
has not seen in two months. 80 far as
Miss Russell is concerned" said all at
tache of the Casino this morning, ''she
has had enough of elopements. Her
experience with Teddie Solomon left an
impression that will never be effaced.

sports. Forty-eight members of last
winters club were present, and great
enthusiasm was manifested.
An expression of interest for the well
fare OF the Carnival ASSOCIATION was
roundly applauded, and it seemed to be
the sense of the meeting that the club
would offer every assistance to make
the coming carnival the best ever held.

Poured Upon the Public Bodies
Handling the Carpenter Park.
Failure to obtain quorum again
stood in the way of the accomplishment
of pressing business by the park COM
mission yesterday. Warren III. Car
penter, one of the owners Of the pro-
pertv adjacent to the st. Anthony hill
lookout, which was condemned nearly
two years ago for park purposes. was
present for the purpose of administer
ing severe roast ia the commission
and board of public works for the delay
which has occurred in the completion of
the transfer, and carried out his lnten-
ton to the letter. The land, he claims.
was i'll the first place assessed at from
$1,000 to $1,000 below its proper
valuation, by series of star cham
Der proceedings on the part of the
board of public works, without his sane
ton or approval. Subsequently, to
reach a settlement of SOME sort, he
agreed to sell at the existing valuation,
provided the money was forthcoming at
once, which the board of public works
assured him could be arranged. The
refusal of Comptroller Roche to sign
the warrant authorizing the payment
of the money placed him in the position
of man who was paying taxes on land
for the benefit of the city, who had sold
the land and had still not sold it. He
would have liked to donate park for
the benefit of the city; it would be a
pleasant thing to do, but he
could hot afford it, and he
had come before the park COM
mission for the purpose of finding out
whether or not the difficulties in the
way of his obtaining payment for the
land could not be removed, or the title
to the property restored to him-he did
not care which result was attained. II.
f. Stevens. on behalf of the park COM
mission, said that all members of that
body regretted the delays which had oc-
Cured, and hoped that some arrange
ment could be made at once whereby
the city attorney and city comptroller
could be got together for discussion
on the matter, and that thus a settle
ment of the difficulty might be reached.
As there was not quorum, however,
nothing could he done at this meeting,
and a special meeting was called for
p. M. to-day to take action in the mat

If we don't get it, believe st. Louis
will, and it won't be a failure"
The mayor also said if the matter was

Legal Fledgelings.
A large and enthusiastic class OF
students listened to the lecture on ''DO-

and references, Mr.. Oman ably ex-
pounded the principles and forms of the
laws under which the person or priv

heard him. The next lecture will be
given next Tuesday evening at the same
place.
