N. Henningsen, A. J. Grimmer and
S. D. Peterson of New Ulm are in the
city for the purpose of defending the
mortgage given by Mary Seaman to
John B. Alexander, the myth, and
afterwards assigned to N. Henningsen
and then to A. j. Grimmer. Their
defense will be on the line that Mrs
Seaman received the money mentioned
in the mortgage, and that, notwith-
standing the fact that there was some
crooked work in connection with the
making out of the mortgage and sub
sequent acts there is no reason why
Mrs. Seaman should not pay the same
particularlarly after it was assigned to
innocent parties. S. L. Pierce of St
Paul is one of the attorneys for the
defense.
