FARGO, N. ID. Nov. 9.-The trial of
Harry Melton, charged with being the
perpetrator of the alleged postoffice rob-
berries, in which Sl20 were taken the
first night and Melton received a bullet
in his left arm the second night, was
begun this morning. The principal
points brought out to-day were that Mel
toms story of the shooting, as regards
the position of the robbers at the time,
and the facts of the case did not cores

been made through the position from
which the revolver was fired. NOtwith-
standing it was muddy on the street on
the night of the attempted robbery no

through which the robbers were al
legged to have effected an entrance.
The screen was still on the outside OF
the window, and bore no evidence OF
having been taken off. Besides the
window could not, by the eXertion of
two stout men, be raised more than five
inches above the screen, making it an
impOSSibility for man to make en-
trance and exit through it, as claimed
by Melton. 1t was demonstrated that
the regulations of the money order de-
partment provided for the registering
of each particular coin or piece of
money inserted in packages. and that
only clerks or those identified with the
postal service are eogniZant of this, and
these are the ones which were left I'M

INGERSOLL INDICATED.
The Hawkeye Did Not Alternate
Michelson's Wife's Affections.

Michelson's Wife's Affections.
Dies MONIES, To-, Nov. 9.-The case
of Nicholson against Ingersoll, which
has been occupying the attention of the
district court here for the past three
weeks, came to an end last evening with
a verdict for the defendant. The cir
cumstances surrounding the case were
peculiar and sensational. The defend
ant is E. j. IngerSOll, president of the
Hawkeye Insurance company, and one
of the wealthiest citizens of the state.
The charge against him was that he had
alienated the affections of plaintiffs
wife. Mrs. Nicholson before she was
married. had been domestic in the
Ingersoll family for fifteen years. She
is fairly well educated, and a woman of
high principles. She was faithful
to her duties, and there naturally sprang
up strong personal regard for
her in the Ingersoll family, which was
shared by Mr.. Ingersoll. LIN the course
of time Mr.. Ingersoll's wife died and
Mrs. Nicholson took the place of house
keeper, which she held for a consider
able time. Nicholson, the plaintiff, had
been counting her, and it was soon an
nounced that they would be married.
This, of course, was source of regret
to Mr.. Ingersoll, and he did not hesitate
to write her, saying that if ever at any
time he could do anything for her he
would not hesitate to do it, and that she
should not come to want or trouble if he
could help it. Mrs. Nicholson was pos
sessed of good farm and other property
which Mr.. 1ngersOll had given her. It
was brought out by the evidence that
Nicholson was a shiftless fellow, and
that he expected his wife to support
him. This she refused to do, and he
began TO abuse her. This came to the
knowledge of Mr.. Ingersoll, and he Of
fered her home in his family IN the
same relation she had so many years oc-
cupied. The offer was accepted, hence
the suit.

three hairs from the bunch given him,
and let them remain on piece Of soap
SO arranged as to have only one end on
the soap. He left them there two weeks.
That bleached them somewhat, and no
placed other hairs in a strong s0lu-
ton of alkalI, which took out
the color more rapidly. Judge
Wing objected to the introduction
of this testimony as improper and
illegal as being in the nature OF an ex-
pertinent. The court then took the OBJ
lection under consideration and the ar
ticles were withdrawn for the time be-
ing. The significance of the testimony
regarding the bleaching of the hairs by
the soap will be made apparent when
DIR. Belfield will testify regarding the
color of the hair found sticking to
piece of soap in the Carlson cottage.
This hair was discOlored In manner
Identical with that caused by the soap
on the hair taken from the trunk. Judge
Wing cross-examined the witness and
tried to have some fun on the question
of chemistry as applied to blood. The
witness was too technical for him, how
ever. and the counsel floundered. The
crOss-eXamination was still in progress
when a recess was taken. Dr. w.
L. Belfeld, a practicing. physician
VI bWCltO yCdlSs a microscopes Vi yOHto
and professor of pathology in the Chi
cag0 college Of dental surgery. was ex-
amined at the afternoon session. His
testimony strongly corr0b0rated that
given by Prof. HaineS. He said that
the stained cotton, wood and hair were
given to him by the police authorities.
He made personal microscopic exam
ination of them and was convinced that
the stains were
BLOOD FROM A HUMAN BEING,
and that the hair, including that on the
cake of soap found in the cottage. was
human hair. He also gave parts OF the
same specimens to Prof. Haines. with
instructions to chemically analyZe them.
In the cross-examinatiOn by Attorney
Forrest the witness said that only when
in liquid form could science distinguish
between human and brute blood: 1t
was half-teaspoonfuI of liquid blood
found inside the specimen of cotton
batting on which the witness made his
examination. At the conclusion OF DR..
Belfeld's examination the court ad-
journed. The states attorney after ad-
journment said that he expected to oc-
cupy three days of next week introduce
ing the rest of his evidence, soft is prob
able that the line of defense will be
known by Thursday.

CHICAGO, Nov. 9,-When the Cr0nin
case was resumed this morning, Judge
McConnelPs court room resembled the
dress circle of theater. More than half
the audience were women, and and the
closest attention was paid to the pro-
ceedings. Gerhard Wardel, gardener
at 1929 North Ashland avenue, was the
first witness called. In reply to Mr..
Mills questions, Wardel testified that
ON Saturday, May 4, he lett his home
about Z o'clock in the evening. and went
to Matt Jung's place on Lincoln avenue.
He started for home about 10 o'clock,
and walked on the east side of Ashland
avenue. About 1890 o'clock he
reached the corner of Otto and
ashland avenues, and noticed two men
who were walking about 200 feet ahead
of him. They eemed to him to have
come out of saloon on the corner of
School street and Ashland avenue.
They walked across Ashland avenue
and entered the Carlson cottage by the
front door. Witness described the
men. One was large man, about five
feet eleven inches. the other was about
five feet seven inches tall. Witness
saw them plainly when they entered
the cottage and
SAW A LIGHT INSIDE,
through one of the shutters. Next day
witness and his wife passed the cOttas e
on their way to mass and witness saw
blood on the steps and on the plank
walk over the ditch i'm front of Il e
house. The cross-eXaminatiOn by the
defense was brief, and nothing
new was brought Olt. Michael
j. Cameron, a salO0nkeeper at
79S Lincoln avenue, was then called.
Cameron testified that in April last he
in his saloon on Lincoln avenue. They
talked quietly together for some time,
but he could not hear what was said. A
man named Dunn, a plumber, came in
and Coughlin introduced Kunze to him,
with the remark: "This is friend of
mine." The witness crOSS-eXamined,
said that this was about a week before
the murder. DR.. Egbert was recalled at
this point, and said that he had cut a
lock of hair from the head of DR..
Cronin's dead body at the time he made
the autopsy. Part OF this he placed in
a jar which was sealed and part he gave
to Capt. Schuettler. This was the be-
ginning of the expert testimony. Prof.
Haines, the expert chemist of the Rush
medical college, which position he has
held for fourteen years, next went on the
stand, and said that he had examined a
small chip of wood with reddish stains
on it. some cotton and blush paper with
red stains. and part of lock of hair.
By chemical tests he found that the
WE'RE THOSE OF BLOOD.
He described at length the manner in
which he made the tests, but said that
could not determine whether the blood
was that of a human being or an animal.

WINoNA. Nov. 9.-There is lively
row on in the fire department that is go
ing into the courts. The city council
having provided for paid fire depart
ment and hired fire marshal to direct
it, the volunteer companies talking
about disbanding. Tuesday evening the
fire relief association met and voted to
divide the 81 ,2S1 in the treasury among
the seven companies, giving each S183.
Orders on the treasurer of the associa-
ton, E. Stott, were issued and cashed.
and the money is in the hands of the
several company treasurers. Mr.. StOtt
returned home last night, and, on learn
ing of the action, notified the treasurers
that they had no right to the money
and asked them to return it,
which they refused to do. The
money comes from the state tax
on insurance companies and is under
the control of the State Relief associa-
ton, to be used OILY for the relief of
sick or disabled fremen. The COM
panies claim that they intend to put it
to this use. Treasurer StOtt will COM
mence suit against the company treas
urers and others concerned, claiming
that he is liable to the state for the

MooRHEAD, Mimi, Nov. 9.-At
Meldrum's Farm near Policy Station,
Norman county, 25 miles north, this
morning, Edward Meldrum II years old
accidentally shot himself in the thigh
and will probably die. He had been
hunting in North Dakota and had re-
turned, crossing the Red river In skiff.
In landing he attempted to pull his gnn
out of the skiff the niuzzle being towards
him and the weapon was accidentally
discharged. The charge entered near
the left knee, tearing the joint open and
SCATTERING the thigh bone. A brother
of the victim put him in a spring wagon
with matrass and blankets and drove. to
Moorhead. The attending physicians
have not much hope of Meldrum's recov-
cry. He is son of r. o. Medium,
wealthy man of Buffalo, N. Y, and

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9.-The lovers
of the turf were given an exhibition at
the Bav District track this afternoon
such as never before has been seen on
the Pacific coast. The great event Oh
the dav was the performance of Senator
Stanford's FLY Sunol, who made the re-
markable time of BIOS, thus lowering
the three-year-old record OF 2;l2,
recently made by AXtell. Dur
ing the last few weeks horse
men have been greatly in
terested in the approaching test OF
Sunors capabilities. When the lilly
was brought out on the track this after
noon there was a big crowd present to
witness her performance. She was ac-
companied by a runner during the trial.
The start was made with the latter
about a furlong behind. Sunol reached
the quarter in 80 seconds; she went 10
the half in los, and it then seemed GER
tain that. barring break, she woulu
succeed in
LOWERING THE RECORD.
Her time to the third quarter was
1871. The runner pressed her closely
down the stretch, and Marvin, her oriv,
er. applied the whip, but the colt did
not make the slightest skip, and passed
under the wire in 2:l013. When tne
time was announced there was wild
cheering among the spectators, ana the
enthusiasm continued several minutes:

fished out Of Lakeview sewer piece
of carpet about eighteen inches square,
and believed to be a part of the ingram
article that covered the floor of the

was murdered. 1t was found one block
south of the manhole into which DR.. Gro
MINIS clothes and surgical instruments
were thrown. and two blocks south of the
street where the trunk was found.
There were no signs of blood on it, so
far as could be determined. States At

examined the find after adjournment of
court this morning. They consider the
discovery an important one. DIR.
Cronin's shoes and watch are still miss
Ing. The watch was. it is thought, kept
by the murderers, and disposed of for
money, but the shoes were undoubtedly
placed in some manhole. The search
will be taken up Monday.
