Browns counsel would have been vic

Mclean had been one of Miss Roger

evidently very angry at Mr. Haw-

Hawthorne as the latter turned from
the lawyers table. Justice Mclean
said:
you lied, Hawthorne, in what you
just said about Miss Rogerson having
been seen with Brown, and you know
you did"
Attorney Hawthorne's anger was at
the boiling point in a second Doub-

You retract that assertion. Take

Assistant County ATTORNEY Zollman
is convinced that Brown has Jumped
his bonds and has gone to Canada.
Last night he telegraphed to the Mon
treal police authorities asking thai. he
safety in that city. The last seen Of
the missing man by his friends was
last Wednesday, when he visited the
nome of a Mrs. Jewel, at North ST.
Paul, and there met his fiance. Miss
Erickson. AT this time Brown said
he was going to Hamline to visit g.
college friend and would return Friday
evening. In contradiction of Attorney
Hawthorne's claim that Miss Rogerson
and Brown were seen on a railroad
Train FRIDAY, it is claimed that Miss
Rogerson, her stepfather and Justice
mclean were in and about the county
| attorneys office nearly all of Friday
afternoon, until as late as twenty min
| utes after o'clock. The party made
| two calls at the office, the first being
about o'clock, when Mr. Zollman was
| engaged in the district court and could
| not see them. Later they remained
IN consultation with Mr. Zollman, If
is said, until after 500.
Notwithstanding the above facts, If

Brown is very peculiar. The examina-
tlon was only a preliminary hearing.
| ana his bondsmen were present yester-
day to qualify in any amount in the
| event of his being held to the grand
jury, and it is held that he had no
reason to flee, particularly at this time.
| Had he remained or was not detained
against his volition, it is claimed he
stood chance of being set at liberty
or at least having his freedom until the
| october term of court, when, had ne
been held to the grand jury, he could
have, in the meantime, decamped, had
he at any time contemplated such q
course. Browns bondsmen are Theo-
| dore Erickson, father of the pastors
| hancee. and Augusta Retzlaff, at whose
mouse he boarded at North ST. Paul.
Attorney Hawthorne said last evening
I that If it were proved that Brown had
| Jumped his bail he would not, under
any consideration, defend him, should
he be brought back to ST. Paul:
