Coudot adds this to the statements
as to the judges reputed statement
that CoudOt was innocent:
AS assistant states attorney of En-
mons county, in the prosecution of the
Indians, 1 know that every effort was
made both by prosecution and defense
to obtain the facts, and the jury under
the evidence held that Coudot was
guilty, and although r. n. Stevens,
attorney for the defendant, worked un-
ceasingly in preparing his case he was
not able to produce before the court
ample documentary evidence" re-
ferred to by Judge Corliss. After
word came to this city that the In
dams had been hanged, one member
Of the supreme court stated that he
had expected they would be lynched
Were other members of the court of the
same opinion? If So then ample docu-
mentary evidence in possession of
Judge Corliss should have been made
public and thus averted the awful
calamity of an innocent man being
hanged If Mr.. Corliss is not mis-
quoted, [ now challenge him to pro
duce any documentary evidence show
ing that Alec COudot was an innocent
man. w men JuuSe COIllSS says lLtC
conviction was in the face of the
strongest kind of alibi, the judge is
giving opinion as to facts and not law.
Judge Corliss refers to the testimony
of DR.. Ross, and states that the doc
tors veracity is unquestioned. Rec
ords show that his veracity was ques-
toned and he was thoroughly i'm
peached and that he has stated many
times, Immediately after the murder,
that he was at CoudOt's house on the
day of the homicide and that Coudot
was not at home Memorandum of
DR.. Ross did not show that he was
home on the day of the murder, but
that Dr. Ross was at his. and Dr. Ross
stated a day or two after the muir
der that the man was not at home, but
a few days before the trial months
after the murder" he remembered that
Coudot was home. The records show
that the veracity of DR.. Ross was
questioned and [ believe that every
Juror that tried the case will say that
his testimony was so thoroughly i'm
peached that it was unworthy of be
lief and that the jury 50 considered it.
Judge COrliss is also quoted as saying:
philip Ireland and Paul Holy Track
had made two previous confessions, in
neither of which did they implicate
Coudot" The record does not so show.

Every SaIOonkeeper in Moorhead
Indicted by the Grand Jury.
Special to the Globe
FARGO, N. D., Nov. 1S.-The CLAW
county jury, which has been engaged
for several days stirring up e2mbIing
circles, adjourned this afternoon after
having adopted a resolution which has
created profound sensation in Moor
head. Indictments have been returned
against every saloonkeeper who had
permitted gambling on his premises,
but so radical an act was entirely TN
expected. The resolution was as fol-
lows:
Resolved, That we, the grand jury. severely
tShsure the city officials of AoOrhead for
tHe ioOse way the city government has been
allowed to run. Cases have come under our
consideration that lead us to believe that
crimes We're frequently committed that might
WIN only moderate diligence on the part
Vi Che proper authorities, have been pre-
vented. Prostitutes. gamblers and thieves of
an sorts nave been allowed headquarters in
different saloons for the purpose of .roping
IN ana entlcing the vicious and the wary
as well as the Inexperienced and unwary
for the purpose of stealing robbing or OBJ
tanning by gambling and other devices the
savings of laborers and others that can be
prevailed upon TO enter such places of resort
and who may reside here or may be tran
sients in the city. That the saloons are al
lowed to run open all night and on sundays
with scarcely any visible restrictions, and
contrary to the laws Of the state of Min
nesota, and that we have good reason to
believe that crimes have been COndOned com
pounded and covered up by city officials for
various considerations. That we ind cases
held TO and for the grand jury that, accord
ing to our judgment should have been ad-
Indicated and disposed of by the city justice.

publicans, as early as March, to speak
out for gold To be sure there was no
opposition in New York then to gold
in any party. The Democrats were
quite as unanimous for it as were the
Republicans. In fact, it may be doubt
ed if Plat could have made the con-
vention say anything contrary to what
it did say. Plat led as such men al
ways lead But that is ours, not the
Suns opinion. Plat took these words
Of the convention out to st. Louis and,
Gin spite Of the towards and trim
mers," made the national convention
swallow them, diluted somewhat, of
course, but still, in the Suns opinion,
words of gold and\words Of political
courage and true patriotism" 1t is
true that Mr.. Plat went to st. Louis
and fought, before the convention was
organized, to get the pregnant, fear
some word gold" into the platform.
The press teemed with his contests
with Hanna, and the Ohio crowd and
the Westerners. After the convention
had gulped down the word with many
shivers of apprehension, there were
some denials by the Ohio men that
Mr.. Platt had struggled or won a
victory. We believe they each and all
declared, with their hands over their
hearts, that each and all of them
We're original gold men.
But all this and more may be true,
and the contention of the Times be
sound and the laudation of the Sun
be mere tinsel of rhetoric. To get at
Mr. Tom Platt's determination to get
the fateful word into the platform, it
is necessary to go back Of even his
state convention. One must go back
to the days when Platt, Quay and
Clarkson, the great triumvirate, met
and consulted as to who should be
the Republican nominee, and reached
the conclusion that, whoever was one
William Mckinley should not be.
Then Platt declared for Morton and
had his convention do it. Quay init
mated that he might be chosen HIM
self Reed was encouraged. Platt
waxed wrathy when Hanna began his
campaign. He published a letter in
which he stated very cogently the
reasons why the Ohio man should
not be nominated and foretold some
results that have since been realized,
with ample time for the realization of
the rest.
Meantime the Ohio state convention
met and made it's distinct intimation
that Mckinley would not veto free
coinage bill, if congress passed one;
adopted a platform beaming with
Criendliness for silver, followed by For
akers announcement that the ma
tional convention would declare for BIZ
metallism and nominate Mckinley.
Here Plat saw his chance. He became
insistent that the word gold should go
into the platform with all the usual
friIls McKinley's record was weak;
he had coquetted with silver; the East
was afraid of him. Platt's sudden love
Iol Solu was SIMPLY peSo'u0e llo tiio"SliI
he saw in it a club with which to
knock out McKinley's nomination. He
would have taken silver or greenbackS
or amy old thing just as readily. The
Sun might as we'll give over its effort
to gid the boss with the gold of states
manship. He is just a boss, and a
mighty Door one at that The Times
is right.
