them all she knew, but being
woman of considerable spirit,
she utterly refused to do so. Last night
she told a GLOBE reporter all about
how Zeise came to her house, how he
was cut, what he said and what account
he gives of the fight in which he was so
woefully carved. If his story be true,

ing it. the police know very little OF
the occurrence, and, IN attempting
TO get at the bottom of the
case. have sadly blundered. This would
seem to account for the meager lnfOr-
nation regarding the atfray which the
police have given out. Here is the
story as told bv the lady with whom
Ziese spent two days after be had been
nearly killed. and which is corrObOrated
fully by her SON:
"Of late" said she, have been get

about to disturb me. On Friday morn

wondered who it could be, when there
came a knock at the door. called out,
who's there?" and the answer
came, It's me, Heck; for Gods
sake. let me in! Pve had my throat
cutv | opened the door and he stag
gered into the room, all covered With
blood and so pale that would scarcely
have known him. He wanted to show
me where he had been cut, but | could
not look at him then, He asked me if
he could go out and wash. After
he did that he came back
and told me how it hap
pened, and what, was in the papers
was all wrong, if he told me the truth,
and believe he did. He couldn't have
been drunk, and he talked as SenSlDly
as any man could.
He said that Marshall didn't cut
him at all. 1t was cOlored barber
down in the barber shop on Washing
ton avenue and Cedar. There was
a lot of them in there and some one
sent for 10 cents worth of beer. think
it was O'Brien. he said, went for the
beer, but ! don't just remember. Who
ever it was, he complained that there
wasn't more than five cents worth OF
beer when the pail come back, and
it was all over that five cents
that the row began. They got
into general fight, Ziese didn't
know Just how, and in the quarrel the
barber, he couldn't tell just which one.
cut Ziese awfully. He was gashed
across the back Of his head and around
the neck, and then there was long cut
from back of his right ear around
on the jawbone to the chm. If it had
been just little lower it would have
cut his head half off. His coat was all
cut, too. You can see 1t here f0r your
self"
The coat shows at least half-dozen
gashes around the collar, some OF SIX
inches long. Spots could be seen on
the garment where there had been blood
stains, since washed out.
''Ziese told me-" continued the lady,
''that as soon as he found himself cut
he was afraid that the officers would
come up and run him in, SO he ran
across the Tenth avenue bridge to Mar.

been staying, and where his satchel
was. There he changed his shirt
which was a striped Sateen, for
blue wooden one. That's how the
bloody clothes were found there. Then

When they went away he Travelled

He probably went out to the Lake stree
bridge, over the river and down to ST
Paul on the electric line from there
He has friends over there"
The lady seemed much worked Vi
over the way the officers had acted to
ward her, and it is probably because o
their bullying manners that the.

abouts now. They found on
that the man was at 1926 RiverSid
by this lady taking letter from tn
office yesterday that was addressed t
Ziese. Certain,it is that the South tow
police have gained no great amount O
glory out of the way they have locke
UP this case. Ziese's wounds wer
dressed by DR.. North. If Ziese's stor
be true it explains Marshall's unwilling
ness to talk. However, there are som
contradictory points between Wha
Ziese tells and what the Marshalls an
O'Brien say.

shall's evidence on the stand was to th
effect that O'Brien did the cutting, bI
his story was much confused. Mr
Marshall also laid the Grim

story was likewise very inconsistent
She said the cutting was done out {
doors, but failed to explain how tn
floor of the house became covered wit
blood. The officers who made the a
rest, Siverling and Shafer, testified
Marshall's admission that he did the Gu

O'Brien $500, as an accessory after ii
