The Forrest episode was reported by
Ilndgren TO Captain Koch, OF the Lake

Gated with Captain Scnuttler. A con

Captain schuttler was held, and legal steps
In the case will probably be taken this
morning
Mr. Forrest when seen at his residence
during the evening did not seem at all dis
composed He was ur bane, but non-com-
initial Whether from conscientious
scruples OF other motives he declined 10
give any statement OF the matter He
would neither admit nor deny, except In
ferentially. that any thing out OF the ordi-
nary had occurred
Mr Forrest was asked II he thought evil

him in this case would be permissible. re-

Ian sure oft In the Anarchist case the
Supreme Court OF the United States declared
that while the police did wrong forcibly en-
tering the Arbeiter Zeitung csice and taking
possess on OF Spies erects.th proper procedure
would be against the police for trespass. and
that the fact that the evidence was unlswfully
obtained did not make IL unlawful evidence.
Accepting this authority we decided to stand
suit for trespass and gain possession OF the
proper evidence.
IL would seem that in this instance how
ever, Mr. Forrest and his fellow law break
ers have reckoned without their host.
They will, or course. be sued for respass,
II not for assault while the evidence they
fondly imagined they procured is absolute
ly worthless Four months have elapsed
since the murder OF DR. Cronin in the Carl
son cottage. Since then for about three
months the cottage has been on public ex-
hibition and has been visited by no less
than ;, 900 people.
Its the purpose OF the State 70 prove by
competent experts that the blood stains
found on the walls and floors OF the Carl
son cottage are OF human blood and OF the
same kind as that contained in the
trunk IL is the defense's purpose. OF
course, to get some fresh specimens from
the cottage have them analyzed by
their own chemists. and then pro
duce them as containing nothing more than
a dumb animals blood, thus breaking down
one OF the States strongest points 1t is a
noteworthy fact that the defense has in
sisted on having fresh specimens Those
now being analyzed by the State s experts,
which were taken Immediately upon the
finding OF the cottage, and were still fresh
with the murdered mans blood, are not
wanted by Mr. Forrest and his associates.
Judge Mcconnell has repeatedly told Mr. For
rest that be was entitled TO a share of these
specimens and that il necessary an order to
that effect would be issued against the
States Attorney. The State itself has ex-
pressed a willingness 20 yield part OF these
specimens without an order, but this has
not suited the defense. What they vero
after and what they have at last secured is
the fresh specimens There is but one pre-
sumption left from these facts, that the
tlood-stains now on the Carlson cottage
are not the original stains which were dis
covered by the police May %

his blcod-stains before he can make them
