only way is to sell IT down. The syndicate could
stop these gold exports at once If 1t wished TO by
reducing the rates cent or more. and FOR our

r1R. LARSON'S STORY.
Saws He Did Not Enter Hrs. Oach' s
House.

Monday the FREE PRESS gave the
exclusive account of the arrest at Ma
pleton of HI. w. Larson on the charge
of being the person whom Mrs.
Adolph Oachs claimed had committed
rape upon her person. Today U. G.
Argetsinger, of Mapleton, Mr.. Lar
sons attorney, was in the city, and
when asked by FREE PRESS reporter
regarding the matter, he said:
"Mr Larson is resident of Albert
Lea and a respectable man. His
family reside at Albert Lea. He was
formerly a merchant there, but OF
late has been a peddler. He does not
deny that he stopped at Oachs' house
at the time charged. He had his
satchels of goods and was stopping at
every house along the road. When he
came to Oachs' house he says he saw
Mr.. Oachs and his hired man pulling
mustard in field not over thirty rods
from the house, and they saw him.
He went to the house and knocked
twice, and as there was no response
he concluded that no one was there
and went on, passing Mr.. Oachs and
stopping at all the houses that he
came to. He says that he did not see
Mrs. Oachs or commit the crime
charged against him. While in Man
katO Saturday he saw an account OF
the alleged rape, in Mapleton paper
but did not suppose that he was the
party referred to, and went to Maple
ton to get satchel that he had left
at the depot. The marshal had
thought that he would return after
his satchel and was on the lookout fol
him and arrested him soon after he
got off of the train.
'"The Oachs family moved out to the
James Morris farm near Mapleton foul
days before the alleged crime, having
moved from MankatO. Mrs. Oachs
expects to become a mother before
very long, and has not been well. My
theory is that she dreamed that she
had been assaulted. Indeed, it is sale
that she said at first that she cOulC
not remember whether it occurred OF
she dreamed it. The neighbOrs de
scribes the peddler so infinitely that
his description became impressed up
on her mind and she was able tt
identify Larson, which she did aftel
his arrest. She did not communicate
the fact of the alleged assault to hel
husband until two o'clock the next
morning. There are some strange
features to the case. Should the CASE
come before the District court, Mr.
Larson will be defended by an Alber
Lea attorney. The people of Maple
ton are now beginning to look favor
ably upon Larson's account of thu
matter His actions were not at al
like those of a guilty man."
The hearing was set for this after
noon, and County Attorney Benedic
went down to appear for the state, ex
pecting to return tonight. He wa
