came to st. Paul to look after his po-
lttical interests. He noticed the young
man In the coach and as the train stopped
started to don his overcoat The young
fellow offered to hold the coat and Mr..
Hanson accepted the courtesy. Mr. Han
son afterward recalled that the young
man was carefully considerate of smooth,
ing down the lapel Of the coat and in see-
Ing that the garment was tightly but
toned. Entering the depot Mr.. Hanson
met State Treasurer Koerner. This Of
ficial shortly noticed that Mr.. Hanson's 3

his attention to the fact. Mr. Hanson
