The witness then testified that she re-
turned to her rooms, aud swore that she
did not see Bazilie that night. She
then related her experience as nurse
to the deceased, but not one interesting
fact was brought out.
Mrs Sarah Baldwin, an occupant OF
the building testified that she had heard
a scuffling and also the sounds of some
one falling down stairs, and. upon
going to tile hall. she saw BaZllle
coming frcm the bottom of the stairs.
Peter Erren testified that Dunnebeck
had told him that the latter had fallen
down stairs and broke his leg, and this
story was substantiated by other wit
nesses. At one time, Erren said, he
had seen Mrs. Ballard in bed with the
deceased.
This completed the case, and Judge
Cory discharged the defendants.

dence could be elected. The general
impression created was that something
was held back, but the court had to ac-
cept the evidence as given.
Mrs. Alice Carter testified that she
saw Dunnebeck sitting in the dining
room at Mrs. Ballard's flats. and she
heard BaZille eXclaim in imperi0us
tones:
"You had better go. Your company
is not wanted here"
Pm going" Dunnebeck replied, and
seizing his hat he hurried from the
room. This witness stubbornly denied
hearing any Scuff1e or sound of any one
falling down the stairs, and this was
considered rather strange considering
the fact that others heard the noise
across the street. and that they also
heard the cry for police.
Then followed uIllmportant evidence
by Mrs. Ella Graves, }. III. Whitaker
and Mrs. Mary Preston, when the
madame of the fiat, Mrs. Alice Ballard,
was placed on the witness stand. AT
first she seemed reliant and almost de-
fiant, but she was contradictory in her
statements, and then she became some
what confused and incoherent when the
circumstances were recounted by the
prosecuting attorney. AT HrSG size uo-
nied that she had known the deceased
long. and then she confessed that she had
known him intimately for three years.
She got very indignant when asked if
she and Bazille were to get married, and
her mo, STRIP came out with an empha-
sis that almost set the court clock to a
standstill. She even went so far as to
declare that she and Bazille were mot
particular friends' and she did not
know that Bazille had objected to her
relations with Dunnebeck. She denied
that she bad ever said, while in Dunno
beck's employ as cashier of the stand
run by the latter at the race track, that
il Bazille came out there would be
trouble.

MUST Be A MYSTERY.
The Death Of Dunneback Will

luton.
Not Enough Evidence on
Which to Hold Any One
Accused.
Some of the Witnesses
Troubled With Singular
Forgetfulness.
Mrs. Ballard Remembers Very
Little Of Direct Impor-
tance.

Judge Cory decided yesterday in the
municipal court that the state had failed
to show probable cause in the case of
The State against Charles Bazille and
Mrs. Ballard, who were under arrest on
the charge of the murder Of William j.
Dunneback. and the two were dis
charged. This case has excited vast
amount of comment. There is no gain
saving the fact that there is peculiar
mystery surrounding the case, but, If
the defendants were guilty the state
failed to show evidence sufficient to
warrant the court in binding them over
to the grand jury. The ''shrewd" de-
tectives that are the proteges of Mayor
Wright's reform" administration had
given it out cold that they had evidence
that would cinch the case. All they
asked for was hearing, and this hear
ing they had yesterday. But alas, 1T
was like the highway ROBBERY cases, the
mutitudenouS burglarieS and the
nightly depredatiOns of garroters and
sandbaggers, pickpOcketS and con men
the detectives had no evidence. Evi-
dence was chimera of the widest and
most phantasmical sort. Although
there were intimationS that very dam
aging testimony would be adduced to
show her connection with murder
most foul" it now transpires that Mrs.
Ballard was only held as witness.
The examination was conducted With
out especial exciting incident. DR..
Murphy, who attended the deceased,
was the first witness. He testified in
substance that Dunneback had said he
had fallen down some steps and broken
his leg. When States Attorney O'Brien
questioned him minutely the doctor ad-
mitted that he doubted If the injury
could have been inflicted by simply
falling down flight of stairs.
Mrs. Edith Cogsweli, a prepossessing
Young woman, was examined at some
length, and tC the spectator she ap-
peared to be an
Exceedingly Reluctant
witness. She confessed that she had
been the messenger who delivered the
famous note of invitation sent by Mrs.
Ballard to Dunneback OH that fatal
night. Oct. 81. The note requested Dun
neback's presence at SplrltualiStlc
seance. The witness then accompanied
the unfortunate man to the rooms where
he met his death injury.

"Few die and none resign were the
few words used by one OF the greatest
Democratic statesman in discussing the
federal of1iceholderS of the United
States sixty years ago. This govern
ment was young then. not half cen
tuIy of age. but this characteristic of
the public official was recognized by all
observers. In the administrations pre-
ceding that of President jackson, the
number of government employees was
comparatively small and few changes
had been made, even when the old Fed
eralistS were routed by jefferson
in the campaign of 1900. The
Sage of Monticello, however, lost
no time in removing men who had been
placed in power solely because of their
services to the Federalists. This was
the case in regard to large number of
United States judges created during the
last hours of the Adams administration.
Aided by a congress elected at the same
time, President jefferson quickly dis
pensed with these men.
During the twenty-eight years follow
ing the Inauguration of Jefferson the
growth of the country was rapid, and
The number OF federal officials
increased very greatly. There was
no change in the politics of
the administrations that followed dur
ing these years. the younger Adams
being elected as Democrat or rather as
member of the epublican-Democrati
party. He made no changes worth men-
tionins, and the men who had held the
offices under Jefferson, Madison and
Monroe continued to draw their salaries
and perform their duties under John
Quincy Adams.
When President Jackson came into
N0Wer he decided that "a new deap
won d greatly benefit the public service,

sands of loyal and devoted friends, lhGn
who believed in him and whom lie
could trust to do all in their power to
make his administration a 5urcess.
These men he called at once to his as
sistance in every department of the
public service.
At the present time there are depart
ments Of the public service where
wholesale removals would be drtrl-
mental to the public service, and to PIE
vent them the various civil service re-
forms have been passed. BY these

For this Office, while it is early III the

against no one of whom can the impu-

none are, like the pOstmaSterShip, re-

they are always distributed about the

collector of informal revenue, United

collector of the port of St Paul. In
several of these changes are expected at
