This Forenoon.

Mr.. Odds took the stand this morn
ing on redirect examination. After
soaring Henderson away, he said, we
put the fire out. Miller .sent me to
set the bunch of hay afire, and he
went to find Henderson. My matches
were damp and l could not set the
hay afire.
The defense objected to going over
this ground again. Mr. Odds said that
he made mistake in this part of his
testimony yesterday. The court al
lowed him to correct his testimony.
He said that he did not understand
from Miller just why he wanted the
hay set atire Miller was not at the
hay pile, contrary to what l said
yesterday.
On second cross examination Olds
said that he did not learn from Miller
until on the way home last night why
Miller wanted him to fire the hay
Miller explained to me why he wanted
the hay burned. 1t came to my
memory yesterday when court ad-
journed that Miller was not
at the hay pile with me. 1t is true
that there were live Goals burning I'M
der the floor when we went back tC
the barn in the morning. stayed
with Mr.. Miller last night.
The state rested here.
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1897-07-09

that he wanted some help. told
him I would help him. That was the
first l had heard of the case. Did
not tell Miller or anyone else that II
l made that stick 1 would go and buy
COW, or anything of the kind. The
two buildings referred to were to be
burned the following Wednesday
night. Among other things said by
Henderson on the way from his house
to the north part of town was that
one night the police had run him
down the ravine back of his house,
and that he had very nearly fallen
over and broken his neck. He also told
us of taking a watch and overcoat
away from a man one night on the
same path in the ravine. He didn't
say when that was. He also said
that if l would keep still ne would
tell me something. He said that he
had set the Minneopa House barn fire
and that he got S72 for setting it He
did not say who he got the money
from. All this was told the night of
the fire and on the way to the north
part of the city. Do not remember
whether anything more was said. l
went home Saturday afternoon and
looked up that night the time when
the moon set Friday morning. Moth
ing was said about reward. Hen
derson told me that he would give
me $50 after we had set the livery
barn afire. Had no talk with Miller
about getting reward, and never at
any time had any conversation on the
question. When I looked around the
corner of the barn, was right upon
the fire, which was foot or so from
the corner. Miller was between Hen
dersOn and l. Miller and / stayed
ten minutes after Henderson ran
away. 1t is not true that there was
no fire there until morning and that
we set it in the morning. Two men
came along in ten minutes after we
got there in the morning and helped
us put out the fire, which was burn
ing slow in damp straw. Miller went
after the two men and found them. l
was to set the hay afire, 30 feet from
the barn, to draw crowd that would
see Henderson. The matches were
wet and wouldn't burn. The next
morning Miller asked me whether the
building burned. l told him didn't
know. We went back to see whether
the building burned. Miller and ]
started from the hay pile at the same
moment, but don't know where he
went.
A recess was taken until $50 a. m
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1897-07-09

ling where the goods were. After we
had talked the location over, we
started out, by way of my house, the
ravine. Fifth street, etc. We thought
it nearer to cross Prospect Heights.
Odds went along to show the location.
1 never saw the letter which Olds
said he got from Tyson. They said
the place was a white house or near
white house, beyond Fowler & Pays.
They said that the box was hid in
hole dug down In a vacant lot little
distance from the house. When we
got by Fowler & Pays and couldn't
find the house, they claimed that
they had made mistake In the loca-
tion, and that the house was nearer
the hospital. This was about ii 10 p.
m. When we went to the hospital
Miller and Odds were looking for the
white house or near the white house.
Miller said he didn't know where the
house was, but that Olds had letter
telling where it was. Odds went out
on the st. Peter road, saying that he
was going to locate the house. Mil
Ter said that Olds was afraid to 60
out alone, because he feared someone
would get him. Miller told him he
had better 60 alone, and Odds went
alone. Miller said Odds was all right
and would be back.
A recess was taken at noon until
200.
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1897-07-09

by the state, that would show up as
witness anyway. 1t is true that I
told you Yesterday that did not look
under the barn. 1 did look under the
barn, despite what told you yester-
day. have looked under the straw
since and found nothing but earth
under it. | did not look under the
straw that morning.
John Sweedturg was called and said
that he lives on Seventh street, and
has lived in Mankato fifteen years.
Saw Miller and Olds at Jefferson's on
the morning of June 18th. Miller
wanted us to go to the barn as wit
nesses to the fire. Nobody was trying
to put the fire out. Olds was sitting
on box. We looked at the fire few
moments. Some straw was afire,
partly under the barn and partly out
side. There was no danger of the barn
catching fire then. There were a
couple of bushel baskets 1ull of straw
in the pile. We put platform over
the fire and put it out. 1t looked as
though it had been burning ten OF
twenty minutes. 1t looked like old
straw that had been laying there,
scratched up into pile.
On cross examination, witness said
that there was some straw under the
barn, seven or eight feet from the
burning pile.
Officer Schuette testified that Mil
Ter and Henderson came into the city
hall on the morning of June 18th and
that Miller asked whether anyone had
been arrested. Officer Lundberg was
there, and we told Miller no. Miller
said "all right" and they went out.
Officer 'Lundberg testified to the
same facts as the previous witness
did.

Edgar Weaver.

Edgar Weaver was called, Mr.. Mil
Ter retiring from the stand temper
arily, and said that Henderson had ap-
piled to him as mayor two or three
times and asked for job.
The defense objected, and Evan
Hughes said that he wanted to show
motive, that Henderson set fire to
buildings because he could not get a
job. The court admitted the evidence.
Mr.. Weaver SAID that Henderson
had come to him mysteriously several
times and wanted to ferret out some
things. l spoke to the chief Of police
about the matter, but did nothing.
The first time was three years ago.
and the last time year and half
ago. He said he wanted to do de-
tective work, In any line that l might
think necessary. No one else ever
applied to me for such job. Miller
never did.
Adam Jefferson was next called
and described his barn and it's sur.
roundings. His testimony was unim
portant.
