CONZEM A FREE MAN
DISMISSED ON MOTION OF COUNTY
ATTORNEY BUTLER,
EGAN LECTURES HIM
And Advises That He Avoid Tho
Evil Associations Which -,-.ra
Lead to Crime.

John Conzem, who was indicted with
McAvoy and Pruden on a charge OF
assault, is again a free man, a nolle
prosequi having been entered in the
two remaining indictments against
him yesterday. But in granting the
motion OF the county attorney for a
nolle. Judge Egan read Conzem a SEN
s1ble lecture. County Attorney Butler
mad intended to have Conzem tried
again on one of the remaining indict-
ments, but, as stated in yesterdays
GLOBE, the court indicated that an.
otner trial would not be sanctioned by
propriety unless more evidence of guilt
could De offered than appeared in the
former trial. Mr.. Butler said he want
ed little time to confer on the matter.
The result was that he yesterday
moved for a nolle
In granting the motion, Judge Egan-
addressing the prisoner, said: '.I have
already stated that believe you to be
part and parcel Of that gang, but. sit
ting as judge, not as juror, I would
not convict you on the testimony in
the case. L would not be justified in
holding you under the rules of law or
under the rules of reasonable doubt
L do not know that you have ever been
convicted of crime, but for the honor
OF your dead father, of your family,
you must avoid evil associates. From
the associates that you have made you
will from this time be marked man.
Stay at home, read books, keep out of
saloons. You cannot do the slightest
wrong without being suspected. You
must go to work, stay at home nights
redeem yourself
''Thank you, Judge" said Conzem.

SHOCKED TO DEATH
Joe Kinnen Is Killed on the
Roof Of the Union
Block.
WENT THERE TO EAT LUNCH
And Boyish Curiosity Caused
Him to Grasp a Live
Wire.
DEATH is INSTANTANEOUS.
His Hands Are Burned to the
Bone and Cruelty Shriv-
eled.

Joe Kinnen, fifteen years of age,
grasped a live electric light wire in
his naked hands yesterday and re-
ceived such a shock that death en-
sued within a few minutes
Kinnen was employed by a firm
having offices on the fifth floor of
the Union block. He lived out on
Rice street, too far to go home to
dinner, so brought his lunch with
him. At noon, the day being fine,
he assembled to the roof to eat his
lunch, in company with some other
boys. When the vituals had been
disposed of, Kinnen started to go
down off the roof. In going to the
trap door to descend he stopped to
examine a box, through which a
bunch of wires runs. He took hold
of the wires with both hands, ap-
parently, for in an instant
HE FELL FORWARD
helpless. His hands still chung to
the wires and were burned to the
bone, shriveled and almost de-
stroyed
Not until the wires had been cut
could the poor lad be released, and
medical assistance was at once sum-
moned. DR.. Markoe strove to revive
him, but Kinnen was beyond re-
covery several minutes before the
doctor reached him. A temporary
coffin was brought, and the cornsa
was taken to the home where the
boys father and sister reside. There
grief holds sway, for Joe was a duti-
full son and brother, as all who knew
him testify.
1t seems that deceased, as we'll as
other boys, had been warned against
meddling or touching the wires on
the roof. Undoubtedly a moment
OF boyish carelessness was responsi-
bic for the fearfully sudden endine
of this young life.

One to Be Organized at IL Meeting
Tomorrow Night.
A circular has been issued calling a
meeting of the liberal-minded people
of the city to a meeting to be held at
300 Wabasha street, corner of Third.
tomorrow evening to organize a So
ciety to be known as the Society of
Ethical Culture of st. Paul. It is to
be conducted after the manner of the
societies headed by Felix Adler and
DR.. Thomas, in New York, and DR..
Swing in Chicago. The circular saws.
in part:
while seeking no antagonisn with
any organization for the promotion of
happiness and the welfare of society
we regard it our duty to oppose all
forms of injustice and wrong in what
ever guise they may appear that tend
to deprive any man, woman or child
OF their inherent natural rights. Rec
ognizing the common interest in all
that relates to the betterment of hui
mainly and knowing that sectarian-
ism has ever been on the ascendant
in proportion that the material inter-
ests of mankind have been encroached
upon, we extend a cordial welcome
to all seekers after truth, regard
less of their belief or non-belief con-
corning the hereafter, asking only
that they accord to others the rights
and privileges they demand for them
selves in the discussion of reforma tory
and initiatory projects
The meeting will be addressed bv
Willard ]. Hull, the subject of his
address being, "Our Heredity From
Adam" Mr.. Hull lectured there a
short time ago. He is a bright speak
er, though extremely radical in his
anti-orthodox views.

With "Old Glory above them, be-

rades of Garfield Post, G. A. R., cele-
brated their camp fire last night by
fife and drum, music grave and gay,

Comrade Van SAINT CONGRATULATED
those present upon the possession of
the inestimable privilege of wearing
the G. A. r. button, a privilege not to
be bought with money, a privilege that
an Astor could not purchase, a privi-
lege that is prima facie evidence of
manly valor and of duty well per-
formed. Considering the perils of the
war, the hardships that they had ex-
perienced, he was surprised not that
there were but 5000 comrades in this
state, but that there were any left here
at all. He felt assured that,a timew
on, and the ranks grew thinner, the
bond of fellowship strengthened, and
no comrade could pass another on the
streets without desiring to stop and
wish him God speed during the re-
naming short span Of his life's Jour-
ney.
The musical selections were greatly
enjoyed. Perhaps the most enthusiasm
was excited by the old-time inspiration
evoked from the fife and drum by Com
rades Kerrick and Allen. The Mime
opa quartette, composed of Ed T. Nc
Crumish, H. E. George, r. c. Wood
and P. B. Churchill, sang .Say Au
Revoir, but Not Good Bye" with ex-
cellent taste and effect, displaying good
voices and careful training. Their
negro and Irish songs were far ahead
of the amateur average, and would
have done honor to many professionals.
Each of their selections was favored
with a recall. F. H. Tenney and Oscar
A. Wolf, with banjo and guitar, Sc
cured storms of applause and repeated
encores. In topical and darky songs
they were as admirable as in accom-
paniment.
The music and speech-making was
followed by dancing and "a good time

.PLUCKY MRS. SNYDER
DISCOVERS 4 THIEF IN HER
HOUSE AND PURSUES HIM.
AFTER AN EXCITING CHASE
He Is CorraIIed Near Fire Head
quarters and Recognized as
an Old Offender.

Harry Buck, a mulatto, well known
as a sneak thief is under arrest for
plying his trade at 542 Minnesota
street. At dusk last evening Mrs.
Clyde Snyder, who resides at the num-
Der given, became aware of a stranger
in the house, who was trying to get
into the upstairs rooms. Mrs. Snyder
screamed for help and Buck made
break for liberty. But the woman fol-
lowed him down the street, and hailed
a passing citizen, Sander Johnson, of
the Berrisford Cracker factory, to help
her catch the thief
Johnson entered the race right heart
lily, and as he began to gain, the fee
ing thief turned half around and fired
two shots at his pursuer from bull
dog revolver. One bullet buzzed by
Johnson's head, but he stuck to the
ira gamely, with Mrs. Snyder not
far away, and Buck was rounded up
assisted in corralling him, and the
patrol wagon was summoned to carry
him to limbo.
A search at the station developed
the fact that Buck had been detected
before he secured any booty. The re-
found on him, but little else. 1t is but
a short time since the prisoner was
released from the state reformatory,
and the chances are he will be properly
sailed this trip.

TIE TRESPASSERS
Are Having Il Hard Time of 1t
With Auditor Dunn.

State Auditor Dunn received
check yesterday for tie trespass on
state lands, amounting to $453.30. The
ties We're landed along the railroad
track, and when loaded for shipment
he wired the company not to ship I'M
til a settlement was made with the
state. with the result above stated.
The price was double regular stump
age rate. Trespassers on state lands
find very little profit in their opera
lions under the present administra-
tion,a AS Mr.. Dunn does not only charge
double rates, but insists on immediate
payments, as soon as trespasS is re-
ported. A large amount of trespass-
ers have already been reported for
the season, and several lumbermen
will contribute snug sums to the sew
eral state funds at double prices. The
land examiners are under instruc-
tons to look up new and old trespass-
es and trace the timber, wherever it is
possible, and Mr.. Dunn is in hope of
picking up enough of these kind of
cuttings to more than offset the total
expenses of running the land depart

Finds a Good Chance In the Trial
of George Minea.

Finds a Good Chance In the Trial
of George Mfnea.
George Minea was given a jury
trial in the municipal court yesterday
afternoon on the charge of assaulting
Police officer John Allen. 1t seems
that on April IA Allen attempted to
dispense a crowd of young men who
had congregated on a Rice street cor
ner. Minea refused to move on when
ordered, and, as the officer went to
lay hands on him, the accused hauled
off and slugged the. policeman SO
hard that it took him several minutes
to rise Minea was arrested, and de-
manded a jury trial, as stated.
Several prominent business men
were called on the jury, and sat
through a three-hour examination of
witnesses with the best grace possible.
Lawyer McGhee appeared for the de-
tense, and engaged in several irritat-
ing tits with Assistant Corporation
Attorney \Oppenhein. Judge Twohy
felt called on to cut the colored orator
short several times, but nothing could
dampen his ardor. A crowd of wit
nesses were examined at great length,
although some of them knew even
less than the law allows. The testi-
mony went to show that young Minea
had claimed to be on private ground,
and when Allen pushed him he hit
out real hard. McGhee insinuated
that Allen might have been drunk,
but Minea said the drunken appear
ance did not come until after the po-
liceman had been jolted in the jaw
Defendants attorney made a resound-
ing plea for the liberty of the citizen,
and after Mr.. Oppenheim had summed
up for the prosecution the case was
given to the jury, and at o'clock a
verdict of guilty was rendered.
