ported to Judge Pond yesterday after
noon shortly after o'clock with four
! indictments and was excused by the
court until next Monday morning at 10
o'clock
1t was confidently expected during
| the morning that the jury would report
before the day was over and adjourn
until after Christmas. Miss Gleason
the county attorneys stenographer
had been at work since early morning,
copying indictments, and the county at
torney had labored long into the hours
of Monday night in order to have the
work completed by yesterday after
noon. The jurors themselves were an
xious to postpone their work until after
the holidays, and it was definitely set
tied during the morning session that
the court should be asked to grant
them such vacation
Shortly after reconvening in the af-
| ternoon Judge Pond was sent for,
and the jury filed out into the outer
hallway and down the corridor to
Judge Ponds court Foreman Hale,
at the head of the body, carried in his
hand two bulky indictments and two
smaller ones. The presence Of the Jury
in the hallway and in the court room
created considerable excitement, and
a large number of. spectators were on
hand during the short proceedings. The

All Kinds of speculation were INDUCED
IN by those around the court house as
TO what names appeared upon the in
! dlctments. Every person felt at liberty
10 make guess, and, if indictments
had been returned against every name
mentioned, Minneapolis in a short time
would find herself in woeful want of
individuals to properly manipulate her
business affairs. The opinion. however
seemed to prevail that at least one of
the indictments was filled in with the
name Of Charles F. Haney. This con-
cluslon was strengthened by the state
ment made in the sheriff's office that
requls1t1on papers had been sent to
oherlt Holmberg, who is at present in
