MI koerner represented to his con-
stituents of the Sanity City that he
was not guilty Of the offense charged
| and even Il he were guilty the offense
was committed under compulsion and
fear, but the plea, in avoidance was
not received and he was forthwith sem
fenced to confinement at Aurora park.
| where mis- full powers of roofing"
were to be eXerted for and on behalf
of the Conliskeyites for the term Of
two mortal hours. Secretary of State
Berg, Tams BiXby, VIII Engell, Capt
| Wildt and the whole host at the capt
| tod declared the sentence to be emf
nently just, and manifested such eager
ness to see it put into immediate exc
cution that the Tennessee green bonds
with which Treasurer Koerner was
busy We're hustled into the vault and
that gentleman, after opening box
of choice Havanas, went out to Aurora
park and rooted as ''rooting" had
never been down before, being therein
aided and abetted by his conferees in
Office and the citizens generally. Hence
the score on the bulletin boards last
evening, and the sound of wailing and
mourning that mingled with the roar
of the Falls of ST. Anthony until mid
night.
