An hour or so back a tall woman had
sided alnto the lobby of Judge Slack's
courtroom. A little child, wearing a sailor
cap and the rig of miniatur yachtsman,
tugged at her hand and seemed deter
mined to do something which she forbade
him to do.
That's my papa, mamma, and can't
see him? ?"
mo, Del; he's busy now. We must
wait"
1t was a sensational episode which closed
yesterdays proceedings of the trial. An
hour before the close of the afternoons s
session one of those men whose occupa.
ton is said to be to ''look after things in
the corridors" slipped into the courtroom
and whispered something into DeImas'
ear. Napoleon's double gave a little
start-it was only little one-and then
he proceeded with the case as if nothing
unusual was on the tapis.
There were those there besides the man
OF the corridor who knew who the tall
woman was, who knew that she was the

known as Ieannine Young, the Nemesis OF

deputy said that there were no vacant

nor there. The Baroness wa, denied ad-

time until the hour of ad iournment was

child tugged again at his mothers arm.
My dear, there is too big crowd here |;
we will come back some other day.
Little Del cried, and even bawled so
that echoes rang out through the cata-
combs of the City Hall, but his mother
was determined and dragged the recaIcit-
rant youngster with her to the staircase
which led out into Lark IN street.

He and his friends waited until the cor

Aside from this episode the Fair trial
of yesterday was devoid of any particular
interest. Reuben HI. Lloyd occupied the
stand during the greater part OF the day
as witness for The defense. Mr. De mas
devoted his time to an endeavor to force
the witness to admit that at one time he
and his clients-the Fair hrirs-were en-
thusiastic over the genuineness OF the So
called 'pencli" will. 1t was hard Job,
because Attorney McEnerney showered in

The official in charge directed the ar

usual iormaliry of booking her for what

her guilty OF. This advice was followed
and the Baroness was hustled over TO the
prison.
The big iron door had scarcely more
than swung to and been Iatched. before a
rap was heard and the turnkey ushered in
Martin Kelly and Lawyer Ruef. The Two
newcomers took the arresting detective
aside and whispered ior some time into
his ear Then it was that the ultimatum
was given forth that no charge would be

told she could go free. And with little

Delmas in the meantime had also con-

The Chief was not there, having started
home for an early supper because OF the
meeting of the Police Commissioners,
which was to be held later in the evening.
So neither of them saw him.
They glared at each other as they
passed in the corridor and it was even
said OF the Baroness that she made face
at the alleged father of her Guild.

OF the woman after the whole thing had

obJectlons on every issue and hours OF
valu BILE time were consumed in debate.
Delmas offered in evidence the papers
involved in the application of Herman
Oelrlchs Tor the guardianship of his own
child. He said this was for the purpose
OF showing further admissions on the part
OF the heirs and their attorneys regarding
the validity of the ''penctr' will. con-
test over the guardianship or the child

father and Judge Van r. Paterson were
the opposing parties. The latter offered
TO Withdraw if the trust will were probated,
but refused to do so when the father in.
sisted that the pencil will should be put
forward.
McEnerney opposed the Introduction of
the papers and they were ruled out.
Delmas went at Lloyd again, and finally
succeeded in getting an admission from
the witness to the effect that he bad once
made speech in court in which he re-
ferred to the pencil will as genuine doc
ument. Lloyd added, however, that he
was not authorized by Mrs. Oelrichs or
Virginia Fair to m axe that statement

By dint OF persistent questioning and
lodging around objections Delmas
brought out from the witness an admis-
sion that he went to the County Clerks
office on second occasion to see the will,
because he had heard certain things
about it."
What did you want to ascertain in
reference to that will?" was asked.
shower of objections greeted the ques-
ton, but Lloyd was finally directed to an
swer.
II wanted to know whether or not the
Will was written on Two different kinds of
paper"
WAS not the object of your examina-
ton or the document the result of sus-
plcion and belief on your part that that
Will was not genuine, and you wished to
satisfy yourself on that point?''
The objection to this was sustained
Then. after little more spalring, Mr..
Lloyd was at last excused from the stand.
Horatio James Barring was then sworn
ana asked if in the month of March,
1895, he had a conversation with Louis C.
Bresse, who, before his death, was one of
the special administrators OF the Fair
estate.
Objections blocked the way, and then
D!lmas adroitly gave out the tip as 10
what he wanted to prove by Barring He
did 1t by asking him if Bresse tolu him
that he had heard Senator Fair say some
thing in his lifetime about having
decided two valuable pieces of property
to schoolteacher."
The objections proved successful, but,
neverthe less, the information had been
cleverly given to the jury.
Barring was retired and Notary Cooney
was recalled. He was reminded that he
had testified that he had collected num-
ber OF deeds which had been acknowledged
by him, ana given them to Private Detec-
tive Stiiwell. Then he was asked if he
had obtained the deeds from StllwelI, and
after replying il the affirmative, Cooney
produced the documents. They went

POPS, HAVE A LIST.
| While Democrats Would Make
StOckwelI Speaker.

The Democrats and Populists met IN
joint caucus at the Merchants last
night just long enough to decide that
it would be best for each faction to
name it's own men for the various
"sits" in the house, which takes place
at the capitol today.
"A. H. Hill, of Winona, presided, and,
when the above decision was reached,
called a caucus Of the Democrats,
which, with but little loss Of time made
a single nomination, that Of the speak
ership, for which Hon. S. A. Stockwell,
of Hennepin, was named.
Instead Of choosing names for the
other positions, it was agreed that the
Democrats might, if they chose, vote
for the men named by the Populists,
or might later name their own indi-
vidual candidates.
1t was made quite clear that there
was to be no alliance between the
Democrats and Populists, in spite of
which fact the latter held their caucus
and framed a list Of candidates, for
which the Dems may vote if they see
fit. S. j. Lee, of Norman county, pre-
sided over the deliberations, and Ig-
natfus Donnelly was very promptly
named as a candidate for the speak
ership. The balance Of the list is as
follows: For chief clerk, J. G.. Yer
milya, Olmsted; first assistant, Crist
Wilson, Otter Tail; second assistant,
1. E. George, Polk; reading clerk,
George Graft, Brown; sergeant-at-
arms, Harvey Gilitt, Dakota assistant,
Ole Gunderson, Norman; engrossing
clerk, H. V. Poor, Renville; enrolling
clerk, o. H. Hopkins, Renville; chap
lain, Rev. G. o. Reihr, Hennepin, and
postmaster, Alex McKinnon, Polk
