BURNS ACQUITTED.
Governor Says Evidence Is Not
Clear for tina Gnunfa

Governor Says Evidence IL Not
Clear Matter for the Courts.
Gov. Nelson yesterday handed down
his decision OH the charges preferred
against James H. Burns. auditor OF
Ramsey county. acquitting the accused.
The history Ut this case is still fresh In
public memory. Feb. % Timothy Rear
don filed with the governor charges
against Burns, alleging that he made
certain erasures of taxation without
authority. Gov. Nelson appointed w.
A. Gates and Walter 8. Taylor com.
missioners to take and report the evil
dence. The evidence was submitted to
theeexecutive on March "a.
The governor. in recitin9 the evil
dence. remarks that Burns admits hav-
ing made the erasures charged, but says
that he made them in accordance with
the direction OF County Commissioner
Lavallee; also that the board of COM
lntssioners ratified the action. Mr..
Lavallee denies that he gave any direc-
ton in the matter. 1.-THE minutes of
the commissioners do not clearly dis
close whether there was any ratification
: ~ al ClulutCu Wy NIL Dull
The governor then proceeds:
I Upon the point whether Mr.. Burns
made the erasure on his own motion or
under the direction of Mr.. Lavallee,
there is good deal Of conflict of testi-
mony, and while there appears to be
prepOnderance of testimony againstthe
contention of Mr.. Burns, yet do not
feel SO entirely satisfied and clear in the
matter that feel warranted
and justified in convicting Mr..
Burns and removing him from Office.
II MIR. Burns Is really guilty of the
otfense charged, it is an indictabe Of
tense. a felony. for which be could be
tried and convicted in the district court
cf Ramsey county. In matter of so
grave Importance and of such serious
consequences. petit jury, with the
witnesses before them in open court,
are much more competent 10 pass upon
the guilt of Mr.. Burns than l am upon
mere written report of the testimony.
Mr. Burns had no right to make these
erasures. neither had Mr.. Lavallee a
right to direct him to do SO; but If he
did erase the names at Mr.. Lavallee'S
instance, under the honest but mistaken
pellet that he had right to do SO, though
ne may be technically guilty, it divests
the case OF any moral delinquency.
In view OF the considerations stated
and in view of the uncertainty and
unsatisfactory character of the evidence
upon some of the material points in the
case, feel constrained to dismiss the
charges and remit the same and Mr..
Burns to the district court and to his
constituents.
The charges are accordingly dis
missed.
