BELIEVE CULLEN DID 1T.
Police Theory as to the Harrington
Avenue Shooting.

James Cullen, who was locked up at
the Rondo street police station Satur-
day night on suspicion of knowing
something of a shooting affray in
front Of Jessrang's saloon, at Earring
ton and University avenues shortly be-
fore midnight, was aIraigned in the
police court yesterday on the charge
Of carrying concealed weapons. The
case was continued until Friday at the
request of the police, who are investi-
eating the shooting. When arrested
Cullen, who is an eX-convict, had in
his possession an ugly looking revol-
yer. In substantiation Of the police
theory, it is claimed, that Cullen en-
tered j 'Jessrang's saloon with woman
and secured two glasses of beer. The
couple, it is said, started out of the
saloon without paying for the drinks
The bartender followed them out the
back door, it is alleged, while a friend
of his, whose name the police claim not
to have as yet ascertained, went out
the front door to head the couple off.
Here, it is said, the bartender's friend
met Cullen, who resented his interfer-
ence by drawing revolver and firing
point blank at the man. The bullet
passed between the mans left arm and
body, it is said, cutting hole in his
clothing.

ance until Friday.
After his arrest Sunday night Mr.
Tauber identified Mullen as the foot
pad who had robbed and attempted 20

Saturday night, and not to have come
to st. Paul until shortly before taken
into custody by Detectives Sweeney
and Daily, Sunday evening. Detectives
Sweeney and DAILY, on the other hand.
say they saw Mullen at Ninth and

WAS A GAUZY FAKE.
Second Escape of SchafTer Described
by Morning Paper.

by "a Morning Paper.
Chief of Police Goss was indignant yes
terday over the story published in a morning
paper to the effect that Frank Schaffer had
effected second escape from the authorities
last Thursday by jumping from the patrol
wagon at the West entrance to the high
bridge, and stated that the story was fab
ricat!on in every detail. Said he
Frank Schaffer was not in the custody Of
by them, neither the patrol wagon in
West st. Paul. 1t is true that five detectives
went to Mendoza to look for Schaffer' but
that they arrested him and then allowed him
to escape, or that he was seen at all on this
occasion. is wholly untrue. The detectives
at about o'clock in a three-seated buck
board hired at a local livery stable. The con-
veyance brought the officers back to the
street car Ene after an Intellectual search
for Schaffer, and they came across the river
on the car, while the blackboard in charge of
the driver came back unoccupied The story
IS ridiculous and false, as l shall report to
Mayor Doran today, after having fully in
yestgated the matter. j. H. Dean, the
driver of the blackboard, denies that anv
one was in the custody of the officers and
will make affidavit to this effect If desired -
Mr.. Dean, who is in the employ of Fred
Schroeder, was present when Chief Goss made
the above statement to a reporter for the
G o e, and affirmed its correctness. The
officers had gotten out of the blackboard he
said. when near Mendoza, and he had wait
ed for them about half an hour when he
received the signal to drive to them. They
had no one in custody at this time Mr.
learned that the search for Schaffer had been
unsuccessful. He left the officers at the end
Of the street car line, said Mr. Dean and
crossed the high bridge alone.

TRIO HELD TO BAIL.
| st. Paul Boys Charged With Thefts
5-z7, of Cows at south ST. Paul.

ST. Paul Boys Charged With TheRts
2zs of Cows at south st. Paul.
* The cow stealing cases came up at
South St.~Paul yesterday afternoon, be-
fore. Judge Stevenson. Lester Mollers,
Albert Eichler and Valentine Blatz
were charged with stealing a cow
Thursday night from Henderson Phil
lip, of South Park, and an adjournment
was taken for one week MollerS and
Eichler gave bail for $1,000 each. Mol
lers and Tony Kostohriz were charged
with stealing a cow from John Siegfried
and gave bail in the sum of $500 each
for their appearance next Monday.
County Attorney Hodgson, of Hast
ings, conducted the case for the state.
There have been numerous cases of
cattle disappearing for two or three
years at South ST. Paul and vicinity.
and it is thought there is a regular or
ganiZed gang of thieves engaged in
the business. Mollers is about nine
teen years of age and his parents were
residents of South ST. Paul until re-
Gently. when they moved to West
young men arrested are residents of
that locality. Young Mollers has con-
fessed to the theft of the two COWS
mentioned above, and also to stealing a
calf from a man named Hammel on
Stewart avenue, and selling the veal
to a South St. Paul butcher. In taking
the Siegfried cow Mollers says Kostoh-
riz drove the wagon and he took the
cow out Of the barn yard and tied her
to the wagon. They then took her to
Mendoza, where they killed her and
buried the hide afterward peddling
out the meat Last Thursday night,
about $50, Mollers says he, Albert
Eichler and Valentine Blatz took
Phillips COW, which was tied near the
road on Concord street. They drove to
the high bridge, when they sent the
wagon home and then drove the COW
about four miles to barn. where they
left her until morning. They then took
her to an old slaughter house on the
Crosby farm, where they killed her
and buried the hide under the floor.
The hides of both COWS have been re-
covered and identified.
About two years ago, Mayor Gahan
had a valuable horse stolen from his
farm, and never heard of it again. al
though some time was spent in search
ing for it. Last year J. B. Fitzgerald,
a live stock dealer who pastured con-
toward Inner Grove, lost fourteen head.
Lytle & Raeburn, mich cow dealers,
who also pasture COWS in the same
vicinity, miss five to ten COWS every
year. Mrs. Poole, Of South Park, miss
ed her cow a week ago, but it came
back the next morning. The Mollers'
boy admits taking her, but says she
got away from him. Suspicion has been
pointed towards number Of men that
hang around the stock yards and do
a little business, but until now nothing
has been proved, and it is probable
the gang will be broken up.

AWAIT HIS RULING
BANK PROSECUTIONS ARE HANG
ING ON JUDGE LEWIS DECISION
ON MOTIONS,
WHICH is DUE AT 2 O'CLOCK,
DICTMENTS ARE TO DE
QUASHED.
IlCH IS DUE AT z O'CLOCK,
CONGRESSMAN STEVENS CASE,
According to His Counsel, Pierce
Butler, Is Ready to Go On at
z 0'cICck.

Judge Lewis will announce his de-
cision on the motions to quash the in
dictments returned against Albert
Scheffer, William F. Bickel and Alfred
s. Kittson at p. m. today. While
Judge Lewis has not intimated in any
quarter what his decision will be, the
general impression prevails among the
lawyers that the court will grant the
motions to quash on the ground that
Juror Lindquist is not qualified TO
serve on the present grand jury, which
rt turned the indictments in question.
In case the court quashes the in
dictments, another important question
presents itself. Can the court excuse
Grand Juror Lindquist from acting,
and direct the present grand jury to
continue its work and again consider
the cases of the parties indicted and
reindict them, if it sees fit? Or must
an entirely new grand jury be drawn,
empanneled and sworn in? This ques-
ton, County Attorney Anderson said
yesterday, was one he could not de-
eide. The court would probably define
the course to be pursued in case the
motions to quash should be granted.
p. m. pursuant to it's adjournment
taken by order of the court a week
ago. It's future proceedings will, of
course. depend on the decision of Judge
Lewis
Whether the decision will affect the
indictment against Congressman F. c.
Stevens, whose trial has been set for
today, remains to be seen. Pierce But
Ter, counsel for Mr.. Stevens, said that
he expected to go to trial at D. m.
The prospects that any of the other
indicted bankers will be tried during
the present term are remote. 1t is
possible that either William Dawson
Jr, or William Dawson Sr. may be
tried this month on one of the in
dictments demurred to, in case, their
demurrers should be overruled. Should
they be sustained, they could not be
tried before next October.
William F. Bickel might be tried at
any time on the Lucius indictment,
which he did not move to quash, but it
is understood that the county attor-
ney is not over anxious to try Mr..
Bickel on that charge. AS it is, the
time of the criminal court will be re-
quired during the three weeks left of
the June term, to dispose of the
Stevens case, and that of John Adler,
charged with murder, as well as to try
half a dozen or more jail cases that
take precedence.

Assessed by Judge TwOhy

Assessed by Judge TwOhy.
Judge Twohy announced his decision
yesterday in the case Of Eva Germaine,
arrested on the charge Of CONDUCTING
a disorderly house at 95 West Seventh
street, and William Pleiss, accused of
disorderly conduct, in having been
found in the place at o'clock in the
morning. The charge against the Ger
maine woman of maintaining a disor-
derly house, was dismissed, but both
she and Pleiss were fined SIS on the
charge of disorderly conduct The
woman has vacated the store on
Seventh street and, 1t is said, will leave
the city.
Pleiss is the man who threatened at
the time of his arrest to make sensa-
tional disclosures concerning the po-
lice department., and still declares he
will make good his word. He main
tains that the arrest Of himself and
the Germaine woman is the result Of a
Job and proposes to play even by
telling what he claims to know con-
corning the operation of gambling re-
sorts in the city. The day following
that on which Pleiss' threat was made,
all of the poker games were again sus-
pended.

which the police claim was for shoplifting pur-
poses, were arraigned in the municipal court
yesterday, on the charge of larceny The
original charge against the prisoners was
vagrancy, as no stolen property was found
in their possession when arrested, but after
they had undergone an examination at the
hands of Chief Schweitzer yesterday, the

be learned. To permit of further investigation
by the police, the cases were continued until

Facts About the Alleged Theft of "a
House.

Wenzel Websky, Nicholas Dallum, Matt
Heffner and John Dietz, the quartette accused
of stealing a portion of a dwelling house on
Blair street belonging to James Wilson, were
arraigned in the municipal court yesterday
upon the charge of larceny. The house which
the men are accused of demolishing, was al
most totally destroyed by fire some time ago,
and they are said to have torn down the re-
naming part of the walls and carried it off
for fire wood. The prisoners claim that they
took the wood away with no wrong intentions,
having received permission to do 50 from some
one whom they supposed had authority to dis
pose of it. The case continued until
June IS.

quest.
Judge Willrich filed his decision yes
terday in the contest over the will OF
Minlza viii, who bequeathed her prop
ertT. Cr rather the interest she pos
sessed in the estate, to ST. Bene-
diets convent, in which she was a Sis
ter at the time of her death. Frede-
rick VIII, of this city, the brother of
Minka, contested the will, claiming that
it could not be allowed to stand as
Minka Will possessed only a contin-
gent interest Of the Will estate.
1t seems that Katharine Will, the
mother Of Frederick and Minka, died
in 1892, and left her property to her
husband for life and after his death
the remainder to the two children. AS
a matter of fact, Minka Will died be-
fore her father. The court holds that
she could not devise or bequeath her
contingent interest to the convent and
that, therefore, it goes to her brother
