PROCEEDINGS OF YESTERDAY IN
THE TRIAL OF WILLIAM f.
HICKEL.
BANK CLERKS ON THE STAND.
IDENTIFY CHECKS WHICH WERE
PAID AND PASSED THE CLEAR
ING HOUSE.
EXPERT TEMPLES RESEARCHES
Were just Beginning to Unfold
When the Court Took an Adj
journment to Today.

Yesterday proceedings in the Bickel
trial were even more tedious than US
ual, little of interest occurring to en-
gage the attention of the jury and spec
tators. The bulk Of the testimony clio
tied was that of a number of clearing
house clerks and bank officials regard
ing checks drawn by William F. Bickel
on the Minnesota Savings bank, which
went through the clearing house. The
afternoon session was devoted almost
entirely by the county attorney to offer
ing these checks in evidence and in
reading them to the jury.
At the opening Of court IN the fore
neon, Judge Lewis announced that he
would further consider and reserve his
decision on Mr.. Buffers motion of the
day previous to strike from the record
the Sophie Lair note on the ground
Of an alleged fatal variance between it
and the Indictment.
r. D. Sheehan then resumed the
stand. The county attorney asked him
If he had examined any of the accounts
OF Mr. Bickel from 1894 to the time of
the failure of the bank
Objection made. Overruled
Yes, sir" replied Mr.. Sheehan.
Had he an account with the bank
from the close of 1894 to the time the
bank failed?"
Objection made. Overruled.
yes, sir"
4 Has be an account in that period?"
T Objection overruled.
His regular account closed January,
1885, and from that time until the bank
closed he had no account unless it was
the cash item"
Did Hazel M. Bickel have an ac-
count on the savings books Of the Min
nesota Savings bank?"
An objection here was sustained.
''Have you examined the books for
her account?'
Yes sir
Ibid she have an account"

IS NOT A BACONIAN.
Frederick Warde Is Loyal to Will
lam Shakespeare.

If the scholars of the high school had any
inclinations toward the theory of Baconian
authorship, as applied to the plays generally
accre dited to Shakespeare, Frederick Warde
gave them a terrible shock yesterday after
noon, for he spoke fully an hour in eulOgy
of the bard of Avon ana IN tribute to his
work Della Bacon it's originator, he de-
nominated as demented
Mr. Warde admitted that some brilliant
men had sided with the Baconians in the
discussion, and cited the efforts of Ignatius
Donnelly in the "Cryptogram," and Dr.Owens.
of Detroit to prove by two separate lines
of reasoning that Bacon wrote the plays.
He accounted for the very considerable fol-
lowing Of the Baconian theory by the old
story of the crowd a man can attract by
standing on the corner and looking intently
at the point of a steeple. For himself, he
had no more doubt that Shakespeare was the
author Of the plays which bear his name
than he had of the authenticity of the Lord s
prayer.
The plays of Shakespeare were just such
as one might expect to be written by man
of Shakespeares education. They contained
execrable Latin and abominable French, but
the profoundest knowledge Of human nature.
On the contrary, Bacon was born to the
purple and given the most liberal education
obtainable He graduated from Oxford, and
afterward spent three years in a French uni
yersity. travelled and had every advantage
that could be given a young man of noble
birth.

CASE OF MENINGITIS.
What the Pioneer Press Got Excited
Over.

1t now turns out that Mrs. Louis Rober of
Prospect Park, Minneapolis, the woman whom
the Pioneer Press has had dying of hydro
phobia since Tuesday morning, is showing
signs of improvement, and yesterday doubt
was expressed as to its being anything other
than spinal meningitis. 1t is not believed
by the Minneapolis health department officials
that the dog which was claimed to have bit
ten Mrs. Ro5er has rabies. He is at present
being examined and nothing indicates that
he is afflicted. The disease, 1t is claimed.
may occur at any time if rabid animal
bites other animals or man, but not without
that cause, for it never originates from other
sickness, nor in any other way than by some
kind of innoculation from animal having
the disease. This is Pasteur's theory. The
rtate board of health has issued circular
in regard to the disease, in which it states
that not more than Is per cent of the per-
sons bitten by animals who really have
rabies are infected with the disease. Ra-
bies is a. germ disease, and the idea of a
dog having within its constitution the virus
which is started by sudden maddening was
proved years ago to be false.
While 1t is claimed Mrs. Rober has in some
ways the symptoms of rabies the fact that
instead of dying she continues to improve, in
dicates that she is not suffering with the
disease. 1t is thought to be far more prob
able that she is suffering from attack of
meningitis and commissions.

TO FIGURE THE INTEREST.
That Was What Puzzled One Jury
Yesterday.

The jury in the case of the Crib Carriage
company against Charles Joy returned YER
dict for the plaintiff yesterday for $3.50. The
action was brought to recover the contract
price of some $279 for some bicycles shipped
to the defendant. The latter refused to pay
the sum demanded, alleging that the bicycles
were not of the quality represented and that
certain repairs were found necessary after the
goods arrived, which repairs the defendant
made.
The jury remained in elaboration for near
ly five hours-not because of any doubt in
their minds as to the respective rights of the
parties but presumably for lack of ability to
compute simple interest at per cent per
annum on a small sum of money from last
May up to date. At any rate. shortly after
o'clock word came from the jury room
that the services of an accountant were
needed to figure the interest. Judge Kelly
instructed Deputy Clerk King to calculate
the interest on the sum mentioned for the
time specified. Mr. King made a few sig
nificant figures on a piece of paper. put them
through multiplying process, added few
ciphers for luck and handed up the result
to Judge Kelly with some Jrepidation. His
honor looked them over and found them cor
rect.
Thus did one deputy clerk of courts enlight-
en- twelve good men and true, who were do
ing the best they could. AS soon as the jury
received Mr.. Kings mathematical demon
stration, as duly approved by the court, they
agreed on the verdict already stated
