STATES CASE STRONG.
Better Showing Than Was Antici-
pnted Against Wilson.


The outline of the case being presented by
the prosecution in the trial of Frank Wilson.
for the murder Of Rhine Ducharme, makes
much stronger showing than was expected
by the public generally, For the first time
in the history of criminal procedure in this
county, the state was called upon to prove
the corpus delicti-thht is, that the skeleton
In question was that of Rhine Ducharme The
fact that Ducharme a cripple facilitated
that labor amazingly, and there can hardly
that part of its case completely.
Rhine Ducharme, the father of the muir
dered man, occupied the witness stand at the
opening OF court today. He lives at Faribault
the murdered man in the hands of the wit
ness and asked him If he had ever seen It
before.
Here the witness nearly broke down. He
recognized the hat as one he had given to his
son, but the sight unnerved him and 1t was
some time before he could overcome the emo
ton which choked his utterance. He also
recognized the begging card which was found
on the person of the dead man. The cross
examination of the witness failed to bring
out anything startling.
Jepp c. Jepson was the first witness in the
afternoon. He Is a saloonkeeper at Hopkins
and his testimony was the most damaging to
Wilson Of any evidence the state has pro-
duced. He Identified Wilson as being the
man whom he saw in his saloon the after
noon Of July "a. He said Wilson was Slight
ly intoxicated and that he was playing pool
with cripple, man about feet inches
high, who wore a soft brown hat. The wit
ness was somewhat unwilling to tell what
he knew, and it was with considerable diff
Guilty that County Attorney Purdy drew the
answers from him. He said that Wilson had
an alteration with man in the barroom,
but he could not say that 1t was with the
crippled man. His description of the cripple
tailed with that of Ducharme.

THE CONTEST GROWS EXCITING.

CHICAGO, Jan. 20.-Jacob Schaefer
defeated George Sutton tonight in the
eighteen-inch balk line tournament by
score of 400 to 1875. When the handi-
caps were announced 1t was the opin-
ion of most followers of the game that
Sutton was in too light, judging by his
showing In the New York tournament
With the present handicap the Cana
dian would have beaten both Schaefer
and Slosson in the Gotham games. The
shortstops, however, were not willing
to be separated and consequently SUIT
ton was put on the same mark with
Spinks and Cation. That Ives appre-
ciated the situation was evident last
night, for he went out from the start
to make up his handicap as quickly as
possible. Schaefer tried to do the same
this evening, but the balls would not
roll kindly for him and he could do
nothing against the steady work of the
Canadian, who was pegging away with
an average of over Is.
At the end of the tenth inning the
call was Sutton 1856, Schaefer 101. Then
the Wizard" woke up and began to
play the billiards of which he is capa-
bic. In the next seven innings he gath
cred ga points and made up his handl-
cap, the call being Schaefer 335, Sutton
1S5. Two more innings gave him the
game with an average Of q 1-19. 1t
was a hard game for Sutton to lose
after his good beginning, but he had
no complaint to make. Schaefer plays

George Sutton had an easy thing CT
the game this afternoon. He was not
in his best form but he was able to

back with Is to Spink's q, but kept on
and at the end of the fifth inning the
score was. Sutton 81, Spinks 40. After
that inning there was nothing to the
game, as the Canadian made more
points than his opponent and had the
confidence of a leader. In his four

brought him close to Ives on high run,

BEGUN.
STATE FORCED TO ELECT.
COMPELLED TO CHOOSE A STAT
UTE UPON WHICH TO BASE
CONVICTION.
EARLY EVIDENCE ALL FORMAL.
Evidence offered as to Amounts
That Were and Should Have
Been Turned Over.

The second trial of ex-City Treasurer
A. G. Haugan, on the charge of misap-
propriating public funds. is now fairly
well under way. Shortly after noon
yesterday the twelfth juror was secur-
ed, making the panel as follows: F. F.
Lenhart, Edward SwitZer, A. c. Ma
son, William L. Partridge, James s..
Merryfield, A. Wunderlich, Phil Volk,
George w. Day, George F. Irvine, E. G..
Robb, Louis E. Browning and c. w.
Fisher
Immediately after the noon recess,
c. w. Fisher was accepted as the
twelfth juror and the trial commenced.
Mr.. Peterson presented the case to
the jury, reading the Indictment, which
charged Mr.. Haugan with appropriate
ing to his own use, embeZzling and fall
ing to turn over to his successor in Of
flee the sum Of $526, 000.
In addressing the jury County Attor-
ney Peterson told them that while the
missing money amounted to over $685.
900, a large part of it had been depos-
tied in various banks which have since
become insolvent. The state did not
propose to press these matters. Mr..
Hangar had, however, lost 100000
through an investment in a New York
railroad enterprise, and for thus using
the money of the city in a personal
venture he should be held strictly ac-
countable
At the outset Mr.. Nye insisted that
the state elect under which statute
and upon what count it proposed to
proceed and after considerable argu-
ment the court ordered the state to so
elect Mr. Peterson then stated that
the state would proceed under subdi-
vision of section 1868, upon the charge
of willful refusal and neglect to turn
over public funds.
Mr.. Peterson stated that the evidence
offered by the prosecution would be
practically the same as at the former
trial. He followed up the statement by
Offering in evidence Exhibit AZ of the
former trial, the proceedings of the city
council showing the election of officers
Of the city for the year 1892.

acted as city treasurer in the interim
between the time when Haugan failed
to qualify and the assumption of Of

the day was City Treasurer Hubert,
who swore to the amount of cash re-
