When Ar. Serrn-on was FIRST arrested,
Mr.. Sears zas prosecuting attorney and
had full kno~lsdgr OF the Whose affair
and il seemed strange eonduct for him
TO turn about and undo all his previous
work. In al probability Mr.. Sears was
Ignorant OF the action quoted and
would not have made ssch an egr-gious
blunder oth-rwise.
As 500 ss the jury was secured, the
State opened up its side. The money
claimed 20 have ben enbez1sd was some
redemption money paid By John MeKen-
Dett On a piece of Lsni which Albert Z.
Egge had bought at the foreclosure sale.
This money wa paid on July 10, 1894
and the owner thereof did not receive the
same until the middle OF October.
The defense was that the money had
been paid On another redemption and
that when this money vas taken u the
bank, il wa wrongfulIy applied to tx
up an overdraft and shat there had
never been an intention TO defraud
| Asssrs Lund and Mccoy represented
the State and Messrs Bennett & Sheldon.
Taylor and Sears, Mr.. Serensou. The
case "a most stubbornly conteStedfrom
start 10 finish. The arguments were
made Wednesday forenoon; the Court
instructed the jury which went out to de-
hberate.
The case Of Hodges W.. Laird was dis
missed owing to failure OF the plaintiff to
appear.
After dinner Wednesday the prisoners
were brought in and sentenced. Bloch
and Lamke each got two years and six
months st Sioux FalIs; Conrad Sauer
one year and six months and Gust Sauer
sl0c fine and costs or thirty days in the
county jail. This win be- a Statutory les
son for all wouId-be night marauders
and will be a sOurce Of satisfaction and
security 10 those who have suffered from
depredations in the past.
Next came Sandal vs.. Casson-an ap-
peal from justice court.
The jury IN the case State VS. Serenson
came to an agreement early this morn
ing. The Judge was called up at As a.
IN, and called court TO recsive the var-
dit, which was guilty al charged in the
indictment, and find the amount of the
embezzlement to be- s755.3O.
This morning was occupied in trying
Mccormick Haryea.ter Co. Va s. b Adams
and q verdict was returned in favor OF
defendant for $3.50 and damages of s75.
Neat came the case Sophia S~erensOn W
g ID Peterson, aud most Of the day was
consumed ia securing a jury. Most OF
the jurors seemed ayerse to sitting on the
case and had already formed an opinion
as 10 the merits Of the case. This case
seems to arouse the morbid interests OF
the community and the court room IL
Gro wdpd nearly all the time
Several more indictments have been
returned by the grand jury, one Il gainst
Charles VI Hildreth for dispensing Of mort
gagged property; one against Theodore
ard Herman Scbocker Tor malicious mis-
chief, and one against Adolph. Block,
Nike LamEe, Gust Sauer and Conrad
Sauer, grand larceny. Tn. cslses against
Block and Lemke Will not come up this
term az they Were taken to Sioux Falls
this morning by Sheriff Rutibun, but the
two Sauers are likely to be- tried on some
vi the various indictments.
