McIn- tosh at Sherrill on September 19, 1891. Prosecuting Attorney s. c. Martin in clear and forcible manner made the opening statement for the State, and Hon. $. M.

Sher- Till, in whose honor the town was named that witnessed the sad tragedy, was the first witness

NANNIE MURRAY.


 The next witness put on the stand by the defense was the notorious Mamie Murray When her name was called all was quiet and the au- dience aroused to high expectancy for something sensational. When she appeared she was found to be mulatto of about twenty summers, and was neatly dressed in a red jack ct with dark brown skirt and low quartered shoes, surmounted by a glittering silver buckle. She stated that she was married. Said that Lee Jenkins did not write the letter, but that it was written by Dr. Me Intosh. He had told her that he wanted to use it to alieniate Mrs. Jenkins affections from her husband. She never gave the letter to Mrs. Jenkins and told Dr. Mcintosh that she didn't know anything about it. At first she denied that she 'ssigned" the statement given to Attorney Fay Tor, or that he read it in her presence, but subsequently acknowledged that she wrote" her name to il. Witness further deposed that after the slan- der suit was brought that Dr. McIn- 1 tosh had offered to pay her ont of the funds from that suit if she would go to Jenkins and get him to give her something, so that she could swear that the latter had attempted to bribe her.
 The witness was then turned over to the tender mercies of Gen. White for cross-examination. There was a bright twinkle in his eye and the au- dience knew that something sensa- tional was at hand.
 "Were you eyer Lee Jenkins mis- tress before ne was married?' was the first question.
 "No," she scornfully replied.
 Did you ever sleep with him?''
 Mo-
 Did you ever have any criminal intercourse with him?"

The funeral yesterday afternoon of
the late G. j. Luth, who lost his life in
the unfortunate encounter with c. e.

imposing affair. At l O'Clock the st.
Paul members of the A. r. u, Knights
of Pythias and Foresters began forming
on Rice park. When all were in readi-
ness the columns marched to the union
depot, where they were joined by about
800 A. r. U. men from Minneapolis and
about 200 from the Minnesota Transfer.
The procession then marched up Broad
way for the home of the deceased, cor
ner of Woodward and Bradley streets.
AS the columns proceeded up Broadway
the footmen were counted by two parties
and found to number 1850. There were
three banners in the procession. the A.
r. U. leading, followed by the Foresters'
and the K. p. organizations. Over 1000
marched under the A. R. u. flag, the
rest of the men being divided between
the Foresters and the Knights of
Pythias. There were also good many
carriages in the procession.
The Metropolitan band headed the
procession. playing dirges and mourn
full airs. The pallbearers were:
Thomas Jordan and William Swee-
ney, of Court FaIryiew, Independent
Order OF Foresters; James H. Burns
and John P. Brennan, of Webster

and then the procession took up its
way for the church of which Mr.. Fleer
is pastor. There the reverend gentle
man preached sermon which strongly
favored the cause of the strikers. He
explained that he preached written
sermon so that he might not be mis-
quoted.
The procession was led throughout by

of six officers. The columns followed

proved the acoustics of the hall. Fine
collections of flags and banners were
grouped about the stage, among which
were portraits of Lady Henry Somerset.
Frances E. Willard. Gen. Neal Dow and
Others. There was large banner con-
tanning the declaration of Gen. Dow
that he was working for God and hui
manity. There were also banners of
temperance bodies and the W. Z. t. u j..
The flag decoration was done by II. g.
Neal. and decoration of plants was
done by L. l.. May. The composition
of the convention Is unique, in that
there was a large percentage of minis
ters and goodly number of lady dele
gates.
Lemonade was dispensed at the en-
trance at five cents glass by the Float
Ing Bethel girls; ice cream was five
cents dish and fans the same price, all
sold by the same institution. Water,

ing in substance but ready on the
tongue.
