sentative Lamborn, of Nebraska, secre-

St. Paul News.

ST. PAUL, Feb. l5.-The Russian
thistle conference has broken up. Most
of the day was spent in discussions fol
the benefit of the members of the leeis.
lature, who listened attentively. The
commissioners have gone home.
The scandal regarding the new capitol
building is slowly coming to light. Gov
ernor Clough has declined to make pub
lie the report Of the expert architects on
the plans, and it was suggested that a
select committee of fifteen view them.
Secretly there was a fight in the enate
against this, but it was finally adopted,
through the influence of the St. Paul
members.
Mrs. Kings bawdy house was burned
this morning. Six inmates-six young,
nude women, covered with sh cts, ap-
peared at the windows and narrowly es-
capped. The firemen helped them out of
the third story windows, with ladders,
and they were cared for in the stores.
The fire originated through Mamie
Browdes, the kitchen girl, cleaning a
rug with gasoline. She was badly
burned.

Proves an Alibi.

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 20.-Hayward'e
mother and father testified today. Mrs
Hayward's testimony filled in the miss.
ing period in Harry's time on the night
OF the murder and completes the alibi
Harry was in her room at TAO. She also
testified that she tried to get into Harry'e
room for a bottle of ink about 8:45, but
the door was locked. Blixt swore he
went into Harry's room at $50 and put
the revolver away.
Mrs. Hayward tried repeatedly to tes-
tify that Adry was insane, but the court
forbade. She also said that Adry had
told her the state had assured his i'm
munity.
Hayward, ST., denied some of Adry's
stories about trouble between Harry and
Adry, and contradicted Blixt's testimony
in part.
Mrs. Adry Hayward also testified about
the time Harry called on Adry on the
night of the murder. Several skaters
testified that they had heard shots near
where Miss Ging's body was found.

HEROINE OF THE TELEGRAPH.

How a French Girl Outwitted the Ger
mans finring the War of 1870.
In the Franco German wal of 1870 the
Uhlans in particular played havoc with
the French wires. On arriving at a viii
lago they would ride up to the telegraph
office, cut the connections and carry off
the apparatus or else employ it to deceive
the enemy. They were outwitted, how
ever, on n occasion, and by a oma
Mile. Juliette Dodu, a girl of IS, was d.
rector of the telegraph station at Pithi-
viers, where she lived with her mother,
when the Prussians entered the town,
They took possession of tie station, and,
turning out the two women, confined
chem to their dwelling on a higher floor.
1t happened that this wire from the office
IN running to the pole on the roof passed
by the door of the girls room, and she
conceived the idea Of tapping the Prussian
messages. She had contrived to keep a
telegraph instrument, and by means of a
derivation from the wire was able to carry
out her purpose. Important kilograms
were thus obtained and secretly commu
nicated to the subprefect Of the town, who
conveyed them across the Prussian lines
to the French commander.
Mile. Dodu aid her mother were both
arrested, II the proofs of their guilt were
soon discovered. They were brought be-
fore a court martial and speedily con-
demned to death, but the sentence had to
be confirmed by the commander of the
corps d'armee, Prince Frederick Charles.

The prince confirmed the sentence, but,
happily, before it was executed the news
OF the armistice arrived and saved her life.
In 1878 the telegraphic heroine was in

was decorated with the legion of honor by

Doctors Testify.

S. F. Hance, Chas. H. Norred and Davic
Meyers, we're the principal witnesses il
the Hayward trial today. They were
introduced to impeach Blixt's story re-,
garding the murder, as Miss Cling had
injuries on both sides of her head and
the skull fractured on both sides, be-
sides other wounds on the head. They
testified that the injuries could not have
been inflicted by simply falling from a
buggy, as Blixt SAID.
Maggie Wachter, a stenographer for
Odell, Blixt's attorney, was also intro.
duced. She was to read Blixt's state.
ment to his attorney, in which Blixt is
to have stated that he and Adry put up
the job to kill Miss Cling and throw the
blame on Harry. The court held that
the statement to the attorneys stenog-
rapher could not be admitted, and En-
win agreed to argue the point on Mon
day,
The doctors testimony has a tendency
to shake Blixt's evidence.

he was angry, jumped into the buggy

This is Erwin's third man theory.
Grindall was on the stand a large part
OF the day. Erwin heard that Nye had
manufactured testimony. He flew into
a passion and the court was compelled
to threaten a fine to restore order.
Another witness was Julia Walker, OF
st. Paul, who saw Miss Cling with an
other third man described as middle
aged with a gray mustache.

MISS WaGhtec'S Tale

M1NNEAPoLIs, Feb. lS.-The state this
morning consented to the introduction
of Miss Wachter's notes of Blixt's con-
tesslon to Odell. She was i'll this morn
ing and could not be present. The de-
Tense then put OF a number of witnesses
to prove an alibi, including John Water
man, with whom Harry had been drink
ing on the Afternoon Of the murder; also
bther boarders at the Ozark flats.
In the afternoon Miss Wachter took
the stand. She wal asked whether Blixt
had said: "About two weeks before the
murder Adry aud I put up the job to
kill Miss Cling for her money and agreed
to throw the blame on Harry, and then
Adry told him to go out there and be
sure to take the iron along. Adry went
along out to the buggy with me?"
"Most of it is right" she said. II
can't swear that be said that Adry went
out to the buggy"
When asked how Odell took Blixt's
statement she said:
"He took just what he wanted to.
Whenever Blixt said anything about
!Adry he got mad and made me take If
out"
"Did you take any notes of what Blixt
had said?"

murder, l just got the m down and
