PRISONER REFUSES TO TALK.
When seen at the jail 6 o'clock last
night Erickson was in company with his
attorney, ard had been given instru2-
tions to talk to no person about his case.
What have you to say abut yur ar

tion). can't say might know him
DO you know a man named Carlson?'
There. now; that is enough Of this
thing" said Attorney D cnneily. This man
is not going to answer anybody's ques-
tlons. 1t is not fair to him" And the
attorney took his client by the arm and
marched him down the corridor. where
the turnkey placed him in a cell.
A remarkable feature of the case is
that Attorney Donnelly assisted in the
prosecution Of the casa against the ac-
cused when he was arrested six years ago,
and now appears as his legal defender.
From information gathered by the sher-
ifs deputies it seems the man Car,s7n,
who was in the employ Of Martin Erick
son at the time of the murder, VIII Ec
made a co-defendant If he can be located.
Carlson ard Edward Erickson had been
in the shop together during the afternoon
preceding tie murder, d had been drink
ing beer freely Martin Erickson had
taken them to task for their conduct, ard
a violent quarrel ensued, In which Ed

vengeance against his brother.

Soon after the release CT Edward Erick-
son from the custody of the police Carl
son left the city, and, It is said, went at
once to Sweden, and never attemp ed TO
return TO the country.
1t has come to the knowledge Of the
authorities that a friend Of Carlson, who
never suspected him Of completely in the
crime has been sending Carlson st. Paul
newspapers regularly. 1t 5 stated fur
ther that ore motive for the crme was
revealed when Edward Erickson was ap-
pointed as administrator of the estate.

law, there being no will
It was stated at the time. and not de-
MED, that the murdered man was to have
been married within a few weeks after
the time of his murder AS a married
man his brother would have received
nothing in the event of his dying intes-
tate.
The authorities are hopeful officiating
Carlson in Sweden and bringing him back
to answer for the part in the crime he
is alleged to have taken.

charging Erickson with the muir

James Whitcombr Riley laughed last

World-or a part of the world that was
>there-iaughed with him. It was a good
part OF St Pauls world that was present
to greet the Hoosier poet, and well
come that was almost an ovation was
rendered IL IN
Mr. Riley's humor is so unostentatious.
II noWs On so quietly with little gurgles
and eddtes' and unexpected Windings, for
all the world like mountain brook,
that the effect produced is more OF the
good-natured;9 jolly description than
hilarious one:5 Therefore, while Mr.. Ri
ley tells mostly of homely people and
their homely doings, all classes Of peo-
pie appreciated the utter naturalness of
the humor, and last night all classes Of
people applauded
The poet does not attempt anything he
cannot do well, but he does some things
much better than others Therefore, of
especial delight to the audience was his
reading of his own Hoosier verse. He
has lived close to the life of the Hoosier
countryfolk, and their mannerisms. their
drawl, their own peculiar philosophy are
his. They could have no more genuine
an interpreter. In his rhymes Of child
hood he has caught the very spirit Of
childhood, and in the reading Of those
rhymes last night he gave his audience
a glimpse of something perhaps most
of them had long ago been forgotten,
peep into children's land.
In his character sketches the imita-
ton of the young school teacher visit
Ing neighboring school was inimitable
Even more comical was the bore who
would tell the funny story. To hear Mr.
Riley laugh is a liberal education in the
manner of how it should be done. There
