with killing Louis Bader with billet
of wood, was called for trial Yesterday
afternoon. Assistant Attorney General
H. w. Childs appeared with the county

Consultation Mr. Erwin stated to the
court that his client desired to withdraw
his plea OF not guilty to the charge of
murder III the first degree, and TO plead
guilty of manslaugiter in the first de
gree. Mr.. Childs stated that he was of
opinion that. under the circumstances,
the ends of justice would be subseryed
by allowing the plea. Judge Kerr then
questioned the man as TO his knowledge
of the fact that he would be punished if
such plea was entertained. The replies
of Griffin indicated that he knew the
consequences of pleading guilty of mali
slaughter. and said he did il freely.
When asked as to his plea TO the indict-
ment. being prompted by Mr.. Erwin in
a low voice, he stated that he was not
guilty as charged, but guilty of man-
slaughter in the first degree. Judge
Kerr deferred passing sentence until a
future day.

A Brace Of Burglars Captured in
GriOrS & Co.'s Store

A Brace Of Burglars Captured in
Griggs & Co.'s Store.
Special Officer Gibbons caught two
burglars in the act last evening and
bore down upon them with a dark lam
tern and revolver. He succeeded in
bagging his game, although not without
some difficulty. he discovered a light
in the wholesale and retail grocery store
of Griggs & Co., on Fifth street, be-
tween Jackson and Wacouta, about
$50, and after making an in-
yeStigation found that the rear
door of the basement had been
pred open. He entered the build
ing and surprised two men at
work on several boxes OH the first floor.
The burglars marched to the street in
front of the officers revolver and up to
a patrol box. They were told TO sit
down and await the arrival of that
vehicle. but only one obeyed, the other
being inclined to resist. The threat
that his body would be perforated with
a bullet had no effect, and Officer Glib
bons sent bullet in close proximity to
his head. The shot attracted Lieut..
Murphy, who was two blocks away,
and the officers landed the two prisoners
at Central station. They gave the
names of Frank Buchanan and Harry
Campbell and are evidently strangers
who came to st. Paul to be in ''the
