"What will become of those docu-

cerning one weighty bone of contention.
"Will the Minneapolis people be given
possession of them, so that they may
complete their census returnS?"
mo, sir; those documents form an
integral part of the eliminating evil

and they will be kept safely beyond the
reach of any one. They are not needed
by the Minneapolis supervisor of cen

FIRST SHOT FIRED.
Why Mr.. Hay Was Assisted by
Private Attorneys.

Mr.. Hay rose Immediately upon the
courts convening and addressed the
commissioner. The United States dis
trict attorney deprecated the fact that
it was only the day before that he had
been able to get any positive informa-
ton concerning the proofs in the case.
1t had been arranged that there should
be associated with him, besides his
deputy, Mr.. Edgerton, Mr.. Lawlor and
MI. Mum. Mr.. Mum was absent, how
ever.
Judge Shaw followed. He spoke in a
scarcely audible tone, which was almost
drowned by the din at the door and the
incessant conversation in the hall. AS
he progressed, however, his voice rose
in an earnest appeal for what he es-
teemed vital point in the conduct of
his case. 1t here became apparent that
there was an interminable determlna-
tion to fight the case, inch by inch. No
vulnerable point was liable to escape a
sagaciOus attack.
II want to object to the employment
of private COUNSEL" he reiterated.
81 will hear you on that" acquiesced
Judge McCafferty, pliantly.
Judge Shaw then replied be was not
particularly advised of the circum-
stances under which those counsel had
been employed, by whom or with what
authority. He presumed the district
attorney would inform them. but, GER
talnly, until they had such information
it was apparent that private counsel
could not appear to prosecute a defend
ant of the United States laws without
authority.
Mr.. Hay. who was quickly upon his
feet, said: may just as we'll say here
at the outset. that intend to prosecute
this case myself. The powers that be

action nor reporters was inexOrable.
Maj. Brackett was immovable, and the
little room was much more comfortable
in consequence.
The commissioner and the counsel
were promptly IN their places at the
hour set by the adjournment for recon-
vening. Judge McCafferty opened pro-
ceedings after having carefully cOnsid-
cred the authorities presented and the
arguments made by the defense upon
the motion for change of venue. He
denied the change of venue for the fol-
lowing reasons:
The only case quoted which had
bearing on the present case was that
recently decided by Judge Nelson-the
case of the United States against Wahl.
That case did not, however, completely
cover the one he was engaged IN. The
commissioner might have refused to
change the venue, and there would
have been DO error on his part-at least
that was his opinion. 1t was his opin-
ion also that the Minnesota statute,
chapter 90 Of the General Laws, 1889,
did not apply to United States commits
sioners. "Therefore," concluded the
judge, latter careful consideration of
the matter have concluded to refuse
the motion and to deny the change OF
venue"

JUDGE M'CAFFERTY,

or and the attorneys added their mite of
interest to the debates upon the techni-
Cal construction of law. One of the
more amusing incidents of the proceed
ings was the apparent misunderstand-
ing between Mr.. Hay and Mr.. McCaf-
ferty. The question of the
Proper Jurisdiction
of the commissioner at Crookston in
case that had been conducted by Mr..
Hay, was the subject. 1t seems that
the two had previously discussed the
different phases of that case, in which
the Crookston commissioner had granted
motion for change of venue, and that it
was Mr. cCafferty' suppression that the
real reason for granting that transfer
laid in the fact that the commissioner
had previously prosecuted the prisoner.
This condition Mr.. Hay emphatically
denied, and then followed a
spirited dialogue. in which Mr.. McCaf-
ferty declared unequivocally that
Mr.. Hay had so informed him. Mr..
Hay was equally uneQuivocal in his de-
nial. and he amplified by,asserting that,
while he did not know that no such
reason existed, he had no personal
knowledge that the commissioner had
ever made any such prosecution. The
routine was also enlivened by other
occurrences. Judge Shaw doubted the
right of the prosecution to employ
Private Counsel
to conduct case in federal court
without specific authority from the gov
ernment. Mr.. Hay evidently saw the
relevancy of this attitude. He declared
in euphonious and polished phrases
that he was there to conduct the case.
The powers that be, indeed, had clothed
him with that proud authority. This
effort elected round of applause from
the Minneapolis contingent, offending
the dignity of the court to that degree
that Judge McCafferty, in solemn and
measured tones, commanded that 1t
cease. Judge Shaw was terSe and lOgi-
cal in his treatment of every issue
that was brought up. He argued
all questions in their different technical
lights. The counsel for the defense, in
the very incipiency of the proceedings,
eyinced stole determination to win the
case if within his reach. The first thing
done upon reaching st. Paul was to
send the defendants before Commission
er Spencer to make affidavit that they be-
lieyed Judge McCafferty could not sit
In Impartial Judgment,
because, forsooth, he had issued the
warrants for their arrest, Upon these
was based a motion for change of
venue. When the arguments were at
their height, Judge Shaw insisted that
there was nothing personal intended by
the attitude Of the defense in its cru

this instance will, be proper and un-
prejudiced and fair"
MI. Edgerton argued that If the court
be unwilling to hear the evidence there
can be no doubt as to his right to trans
fer the case to another commissioner.
Judge Shaw said there was no per-
sonal reflection on the integrity of that
court on the part Of the counsel who
had filed the affidayits, The counsel
had done what was merely their bounden
duty to their clients.
Judge McCatferty disposed of this
phase OF the discussion by curtly inter-
polating:
son the intimation of the United
States attorneys that they deem the af-
fidavit sufficient, won't raise any fur
ther question on that point, yet am
very much in doubt as to the sufficiency
of the affidavits. l would, however, like
to hear you upon any United States au-
thorities upon this question of change
of venue. l desire to say also, in the
beginning, that so far as the affidavit
speaks of the prejudice Of the commits
sioner it is absolutely and unqualifiedly,
and / say it with the oath OF office in
my mind, untrue. There is not the
slightest foundation for it in any way.
That is all l desire to say at this time.
but will be very glad to hear authori-
ties upon the change OF venue. L Want
to decide this question as a mere queS-
tion of law"
Certainly" replied Mr.. Shaw.

SPIRITED AND POINTED.
Judge McCafferty and Mr.. Hay
Have a Little Misunderstand-

Judge McCafferty and Mr.. Hay
Have a Little Misunderstand-
ing. N
Judge Shaw, continuing his argu-
ment, said: "Judge Nelson declared
the change of venue was proper be-
cause it was in the usual mode Of pro-
cedure. Commissioner Ives was unable
to sit as an examining magistrate"
Commissioner McCafferty interrupted
the Judge with: II understand Com
missioner Ives had once prosecuted this
man Wahl. At least that is what the
district attorney informed me-"
Judge Neutrality-suspicious. are the only
person l have talked to on this subject,
and understand that to be the case.
Mr.. Hay-I think you must be mis-
taken.
Judge McCafferty-I certainly under
stood that to be so, and that you were
my informant.
Mr.. Hay-No.
Judge McCafferty-That is my recol-
lection of it as coming from you yester-
day.
Mr.. Hay-No such statement as that
was ever made by me. don't know, as
a matter of fact, that what you say
about Ives is not true.
Judge McCafferty-I say was not that
fact?
Mr.. Hay-I don't know. 1t may have
been: but never said so.
Judge McCafferty-I had no talk with
ANYBODY else about this, and distinctly
remember reference being made about
this matter.
Mr.. Hay-Some one else must have
spoken to you.
Judge McCafferty-I never spoke to
any one else on this matter.
Judge Shaw jocularfy remarked that
this episode should he eliminated from
the record of the proceedings.
I Mr.. Hay blushed: Judge McCafferty
smiled: and the argument of the motion
was continued.
Judge Shaw argued that the vital
question was whether or not the COM
missioner would have jurisdiction to
proceed after the affidavits had been
filed, and whether or not further pro-
Z ceedings would be irregular and would
be set aside. Upon that position the de-
fense proposed to stand for the right of
the clients.
Mr.. Hay addressed the court feel
ingly, He said that the case had en-
gendered great deal of feeling, and it
was, therefore, important to the defend
ants, and likewise important to all the
parties concerned. that the decision
upon the motion should be final. Judge
Nelson had ruled that the transfer could
be made to another commissioner, but
whether or not such action could be
compelled, he allowed, was quite an
other question. Yet, if the motion
should be refused, it was not at all clear
in Mr.. Hays mind, if the view of the
counsel for the defense were right, if it
would not be illegal to proceed after the
affidavits had been filed. He, there
fore, asked that the case be transferred
to another commissioner.
!Thereupon the court stood adjourned

coadjutor and rival for the senatorial
nomination in the ThirtY-first legislative
district, had an undisturbed faith in the
result. And directly behind Mr.. Steele's
chair stood Attorney H. g. o. Morri-
son, whose interest in the proceedings
was no less intense than the others.
Mr.. Morrison believed the prisoners in
nocent, and he was enthusiastic in his
desire for a full and complete eX-
culpation. His confidence in the
ability of the legal talent engaged
was so positive that he had
no suggestions to make. George j.
Jacoby, of Minneapolis, stood a few
feet further down the loom, looking oc-
casionally with wistful glance at the
more fortunate auditors, who had come
in time to secure seat. Mr.. Jacoby is
a loyal Minneapolis citizen, and is ex-
erting his influence and persuasive
powers in the Sunday-opening cause in
Minneapolis to the end that there shall
be no visitors to St. Paul on the Sab
bath day in the future from the sister
city.
On the opposite side of the table was
now arranged the array of legal talent
engaged in the defense. Judge Shaw
sat first. and next to him was F. f.
Davis, and then f. B. Hart. No time
was lost.

HERE'S THE LEGAL ASPECT.
Judge Shaw Forcibly Lays Down
the Law.

the Law.
Judge Shaw next addressed himself
to the main subject under discussion
a change of venue. He read ton
1014 of the United States code, and
elaborated that the United States stat
utes recognize not only United States
commissioners, but judges of the United
States courts, mayors OF cities, Justices
of the peace and all other magistrates
within the state as proper before which
to take preliminary hearing, co-or-
dinate with their respective juriSdic-
tions in relation to that matter. When
n offender is brought before any of
these, Judge Shaw asserted, the pro-
sceedings are to be conducted agreeably
to the mode of process against Offend
ers in such state.
"When was that passed." asked
Judge McCafferty with smile.
K Judge Shaw hesitated, and Mr.. Davis
volunteered that it was in August, lS42.
that it was passed
"Ah" calculated the commissioner
without comment.
f at is old enough for all practical pur-
poSeS," observed Mr.. Shaw.
+ "Oh, it wasn't its age that L ques-
toned" said the commissioner impa-
tiently
The argument was continued at great
length, in which it was emphasized
by Judge Shaw that inasmuch as con-
gress had not seen fit to specify mode
of procedure in criminal actions in any
of the courts of the United States, the
government has properly recognized
that the right of personal liberty is
among, if not in itself. the most sacred
/ of the rights of its citizens. He urged
that it is perfectly proper that the
whole matter be left to the legislatures
: of the states. The United States gov
ernment says it will not prescribe the
procedure, but it determines what con-
stltutes an offense. leaving it for the
states to prescribe the form Of hearing.
Once more the Crookston case was an
.alyzed aud amplified, but no new facts
were brought out.
