Not guilty" was the verdict of the
fury that tried John Adler on the
charge of murder in the second degree.
But that verdict did not give the
prisoner his liberty Attached to the
verdict were the words, by reason of
insanity"
Not the faintest sign Of any emotion
did the prisoner betray when Clerk
Sundberg read the verdict. Not a mus

as a deaf and dumb man. His face

er's poor wife. who sat outside the rail-
could not contain her emotion as the
words mot guilty reached her ears,
she wept. Only few noticed her, for
no sound escaped her.
After the recording of the verdict,
County Attorney Anderson suggested
to the court that in view of the form
of the verdict, it would be improper to
discharge Adler from custody.
Judge NetheWay, counsel for the de-
Tense, agreed with the county attorney,
and added that the court would I'M
dOubtedly order an investigation as to
Adler's mental condition.
Judge Lewis announced that the mat
ter would be taken up at an early
date, and then committed Adler to the
custody of the sheriff In the course
Of a few days a commission of physi-
CLANS will be appointed to examine Ad-
Ter and report the result of such exam
Ination to the court. If he is found to
be insane, as the doctors testified on
the trial, the court will commit him to
the asylum.
The jury was out from 1890 a. m
to $50 D. m. before arriving at an
agreement. Shortly after 2:30 D. m.,
the jury came into court with request
for Interrogation. One of the jurors
wanted to know whether Adler was dis
charged from the st. Peter asylum as
cured
After a brief conference between the
attorneys and the court, Judge Lewis
informed the jury that the court had
in his charge fully instructed the jury
as to what evidence Of insanity they
might consider, and that no further
instruction would be given The Jury
NnereupOn retired
The fact was thus brought to tn =
county attorneys mind that he had
omitted, in presenting the case, to offer
in evidence the letter Of the superin-
tendent ofthe t.Peter asylum announc-
ing the discharge of Adler therefrom
Had the jury returned a verdict of
z guilty, the defense had the point up
their sleeve as one of the council ex-
pressed it, as they would have contend
ed that the state was prosecuting al
inmate of an insane asylum, in that
Adler had been discharged therefrom
Had Adler been found guilty, this
oversight Of County Attorney Ander-
son would have nullified the verdict

ROW OVER THE BRIDGE.
Aitkin County Case Takes n Lot of
Time

A case of comparatively small impor-
lance occupied great deal of the time
of the supreme court yesterday, the full
bench being occupied ali the afternoon
hearing arguments in the case of the
Gillette Herzog Manufacturing COM
pany, Of Minneapolis, against the
Aitkin county commissioners. The
plaintiffs built a bridge for the defend
ants. The price to be paid was about
$4,000, half when the material was de-
livered and half when the bridge was
completed. The first half was paid, and
when the bridge was finished the plain
tiffs submitted an additional bill Of
$349.05 for extras. Citizens of the coun-
ty demanded that the county attorney
appeal from the commissioners allow
arce of this bill, and the necessary pa
pers were filed. The contractors sued
and gave judgment. The defense claims
that the plaintiffs case is faulty, in
that the bill should have been verified
before presenting it,

Fixes the Assessment.

Judge Otis filed an order yesterday in the
matter Of the application for Judgment
for personal property taxes against the es-
tate of Caroline NJ. Drake. A. NJ Drake
and T. S. Tompkins the executors, objected
10 the arbitrary assessment of the county
assessor to the amount of 1902 090
The court finds that moneys stocks and bonds
not subject to taxation were enormously
included in the assessment, as we'll as per-
sonal property not in existence and that the
proper total amount subject to taxation is
$SS,GO9.S Sc. The court accordingly orders that
the county have judgment for the sum of
$81341.
The cause Of the arbitrary assessment by
the assessor was the inadvertance of the ex-
ecutors in negiecting to make a return of the
estate

EXTENDING THEIR LINES,
Report That Some Railroad Building
Is in Contemplation.

During the past month two both trans
continental lines have made moves which
would seem to justify the belief that GER
tain extensions of their lines in Northern
Minnesota are under contemplation. 1t is
thought probable that the Northern Pa
cifc will do considerable railway construc-
ton, not only in Northwestern Minnesota but
as we'll in NorthDl Dakota.
Great Northern engineers and surveyors
have been at work surveying at the end
of the Great Northern grade at Akely eigh-
teen miles north of Park Rapids, and from
there to Leech Lake. 1t is believed that the
road will be extended rup into the lumber
woods near Red lake to tap the country
which is now being supplied with small
logging roads.
The Northern Pacific and Great Northern
lines have shown "a disposition to look into
the feasibility of building lines extending
further into somettof the northern counties
of North Dakota, in fact, the Great North
ern is already building from Cavalier.

Senator Hodge Says Minnesota
Stone Was Bargained For.

Senator Hodge, of Pine county, is
one member of the state legislature who
is strongly in favor of the use of Min
nesota stone in the construction of the
new state capitol, although that is not
strange, as the Kettle river stone quar-
ries are in his constituency. He
argues, however, that to use any
other stone now would be a breach Of
faith with the people of the state, as
the legislature was assured last winter.
