argue a case in the supreme court o
the state Monday. 1t was an appeal
from a decision of Justice r. d. Mar
shall rendered while he presided over
the circuit court for Chippewa county
and before he had been elevated to
the supreme bench. The case was J
Marshall Miller, plaintiff and appel
liant, versus James Donahue, defendant
and respondent. 1t involved the title
to quarter section of valuable timber
land in Chippewa county. The land
office made mistake in entering the
lands. They were later sold for taxes
and Miller secured a tax title to them
Having been enormously entered
Judge Marshall held that they could
not be legally taxed and consequently
tax title would be void. From this
decision an appeal was taken. Con-
gresham Jenkins appeared for the
defendant and James Wickham for
the respondent.

Some Is Said to Have Been Secured in

Chicago, May 25.-While lying I'M
der bed in the home of frank Bialk,
former night Waterman at the Luet-
CERT factory, one of Captain Schuet-
tiers detectives is said to have list
ened to conversation between the
accused wife murderer ana the watch
man. Admissions made by Luetgert
on this occasion are SAID to have
caused the immediate arrest of the
man and the story of what passed be-
tween the sausage maker and his
emplOye will be told today in Justice
Kersten's court. Other portions of
Bialk's testimony will be nearly as
interesting. He will swear that Luet-
CERT ordered him to remain away from
the vat room on the night of May l;
that twice during the night he sent
him out for a bottle of medicine. Upon
his return with these articles LueLgert,
each time, opened the barred doors,
reached through the opening, took the
bottle and hastily closed and barred
the door.
