was dressed in black and his appear

nary. AS he sat down in the witness
chair and gazed out on the sea of
faces his eyes lighted on his brother
| An expression of mingled pain and
| fierce determination crept into his
face, but ne averted his eyes the next
moment and settled himself for the or

How old is Harry?"
He is twenty-nine, 1 believe"
Adry stated that he was born in Ma
coupin county, Illinois. He came to
Minneapolis twenty-five years ago, and
was educated here. He married seven
years ago, and had two children. He
had been in his fathers Office for the
last two years. He had been on a
pleasure trip to the state park, north of
Lake Itasca, and on his return to Min

quently."
How has Harry employed his time
lately?"
Il can't say of my certain knowl-
| edge"
Has Harry had any business that
you know of for 1S94?"
An objection saved Adry from an
swering, and Nye asked if Harry ever
told him how he had been employed.
"Yes, SIR" was the answer, "he
stated-do 1 understand you this last
summer and fan?'
Yes
HE stated that he had made some
loans on diamonds
The witness was going on to state
what Harry had told him in regard to
his gambling, when Erwin objected on
the ground that such testimony was an
attack on character. The objection did
| not hold, and Adry said Harry had told
him that he gambled some. He didn't
| say where.
Have you and Harry been on good
terms?" asked Nye
II think as brothers we have been
on first-class terms. With one excep-
ton, we have never had any spats'
] "Now, did Harry ever say anything
to you about Miss Ging?"
Yes, sir. He said he was loaning
some money for her and gambling
some"
With that Erwin arose in all his maj
esty.
May it please the court" said he,
| 81 wish to enter an objection here to
save my rights. This witness has a
| delusion on this subject and is, in fact,
insane,
II don't see," said the court, "as he's
any more insane than some of the at
torneys in the case"
II take an exception to the courts

he sat down, and the testimony pro-

''He told me-" said Adry "that the

Eyes, that's it. He said he was go

to go and 1 went with him finally. We
| drove out and when we got near there
| we met the miller Harry told him
| he had a note, and asked him if he
| didn't want to discount it, We drove
up to the mill. Harry asked my judg-
| ment about making the loan, and L
told him L didn't think it a good loan"
Did Harry say anything more that
day?"
mo, I think not. About three
weeks later he came into the office and
said he was very lucky as the mill
had burned and he would probably get
the money to handle"

talked about it and the miller said it

it. Harry thought that her agent had
been careless, ard she wanted him to
look the matter up"
What did he say next about her?'
81 think it was about the middle of
August or September, he said the
dressnlaker was hard up, and she
wanted him to pawn diamond ring"
"What else did he ever say?" asked
Nye.
'Well, about the middle of Septem-
ber he asked me if 1 wanted to make
good money. 1 told him / was always
willing to make good money. He said
1 could get $1,000 if L wasn't too par

to kill a woman for $1,000 I told him

said it was easy to do it and nobody
would suspicion me. They only looked
up set OF criminals who had been
convicted of crime before
after that he said he knew a hack
man that would do anything for him.
He described him as being pursy He
said it would be easy to kill her in a
hack, and, if necessary, the hackman
could be killed. too. 1 asked him if
the hackman had family. He said he
did, and L said that it was an awful
thing to kill a woman, let alone a
hackman.
After that he suggested getting her
drowned in the lake, but he didn't like
that style-it looked too much like sui

dered how she would fall if he took her
buggy riding and they should strike a
bowlder, whether she would fall in or
out. After that he talked about get

having the horse run away"
After Adry had concluded that part
of the testimony, he told of his trip

away about that time, but on the
morning of Nov. he had come to the
