HORST GIVEN TWO WOUNDS
Only Danger Feared Is That
Blood-Poisoning May
Set In.

Nothing new developed yesterday
about the Ermisch case. Both the con-
demued men We're kept in their cells all
day and Deputy Frank Picha stood
guard. The boys reiterated their state
ment that the revolver had been snug
gled in by Mrs. SCHNEIDER. the mother
OF Charles Ermisch.
The latter was still retained at tie
county Jail and persisted in her state
ment that she knew nothing of the
affair. During the afternoon, however,
she EXPRESSED desire to see Rev. NJ r.
Bolt, TO whom she said she was willing
to talk. All efforts to draw from her
any information by means Of interpre-
tiers fell fiat, and nothing renamed but
to keep her locked up. In this the
authorities feel justified. as the otfense
charged is felony under the law.
General sentiment among the people
Of St. Paul was one of Indignation, and
whatever pity had remained among the
populace for the condemned murderers
is apparently entirely wiped out or
existence.
Gov. Nelson was not found yesterday.
but there is no doubt that this latest
break in the career of the young tiends
will not serve as means to secure them
a communication from their deserved fate
of execution by the gallews.
The usual Sunday religious exercises
were held at the county. Jail during the
afternoon, and ali matters of routine
proceeded rs if nothing had occurred
out of the common way. Hereafter the
men will be still more restricted i'll
their privileges, if that may be possible.
The men who are the most shocked
over the affair are the two young attor-
neys, MessrS. Encell and Bigelow, who
have been working might and main for
Communication of the death penalty to
life i'm prsonment. They realize that
their efforts are practically thrown
away under the latest development, and
have no further hope to succeed in the
effort.
Horst Wounded Twice.
1t now develops that Deputy Sheriff
Ed Horst sustained two wounds. The
second wound was found in the right
shoulder. and is painful one. The
wound in the wrist will make the hand
useless for at least number of months.
The index and middle fingers of the
right hand are practically useless at
this time, as the cords were cut by the
bullet, thus causing temporary
paralysis. The wound is Il severe one
at all events, and will require careful
attention. There is no serious danger
! unless blood poisoning should set ill.,
DR.. Hanley stated yesterday that the
second wound was caused by the same
bullet. which glanced off from the wrist
bone aud, flying upward, landed in the
shoulder. Horst had Oh very heavy
undergarment, which probably saved
him from a more dangerous wound.
Mr.. Horst was seen at his home, 81
East Twelfth street, last evening. He
was sitting up in an armchair and felt
| cheerful. To a reporter he said:
The boys had that planned pretty
we'll, but it did not succeed as they
| expected. Had | gone TO the end OF the
| corridor it was Ermischis intention to
corner me and get between myself and
the outer corridor door. Then he i'll
tended to make an attempt to secure the
| keys and liberate his companion. after
| which, with a gun in their possession.
| their intention was 10 get out of tue
| front door. How that worked you
