POINTS TO ACQQTITAL
BELIEF AT LITGHFIELD THAT THE
JURY WILL NOT FIND
BROST GUILTY
- r1's-
OF HELPING MURDER MILLER
Arguments in the Case Have Been
Made and the Jury Deliberating
ON a Verdict-Story of the Com
spiracy to Enter the Jail Forcibly
and Give the Dead Man Lib
eFty.

LITCHFIELD, Mimi, Feb. Is. = (Spe-
iaL)-The court is nearing the end in the
trial of Brost. The arguments by coun-
sci are being made today, and it is likely
the case will be given to the jury this
evening. The general opinion on the out
side is that Brost will be acquitted, and
at the same time the general public be-
lieves that Miller met his death by foul
means.
When John Dougherty, one of the de-
PENDANTS, was cross-examined a story
was brought out of the conspiracy to
forcibly enter the Jail and give Miller his
liberty. The witness said that he and
Charles Brost, now on trial. planned to
get Miller out Of his dilemma on Tuesday
night. The latter was to catch the night
train and leave the country forever.
Brost and Dougherty went to a black
smith shop, where they secured pair of
bolt-cutters for the purpose of cutting
the chain bolt that locked the door of the
Jail. When they arrived at the Jail fence
Brost went inside and called to Miller
twice without getting an answer. The
witness, who was standing on the outside
of the fence, heard some one approaching,
gave the alarm and ran off. The witness
saw Marshal Kickbush and a second man
go to the Jail, and later saw them running
away. Dougherty followed them and ask
ed Kickbush what was up. Kickbush> said
1.-The man is dead" Kickbush went for
DR.. Ridgway and witness walked toward
the jail, but met Brost and told him what
he had heard. The witness saw Mr.. Ridg-
way examine the body and heard him
pronounce the man dead. Kickbush ask
ed the witness to act as watch" that
night, and the witness did so.
William Kickbush, marshal, the next
witness, made a long statement Of the ar
rest Of Miller and his appearance before
the justice, and of different circumstances
leading down to the discovery of Miller's
dead body, all of which had been repeat
eddy covered in previous evidence Casper
Schmidt, husband of the woman with
whom Miller was intimate, swore he was
not in Eden Valley the night of the alleg-
ed crime later than S:15 o'clock Other
witnesses at this juncture were John E.
Sauer, general merchant, and John
Carney.
G. A. Brost, the defendant, was the last
witness, and was on the stand an hour
and half He is thirty-eight years Of
age, was born in Wisconsin, and has been
q resident of Eden Valley four years
He told of his relations with Miller and
of his efforts to effect the latter's escape.
Miller sent for him on several occasions,
on all of which he found the prisoner
very nervous and eXcitable and greatly
discouraged. He and Miller had been
good friends for some time.

Important Issue Up in the Wing
Murder Trial at Albert Lea

MUTucT 1TIdl at Albert Lea.
ALBERT LEA, MINI, Feb 15-lSpe-
cial)-Slow progress was made in the
Wing murder trial today as the defense
objected to the Introduction as evidence
of the writ with which Chief Of Police
Sullivan was clothed when he went with
the special policemen of the board Of
health to remove young Wing to the de-
tention hospital. Attorney General
Douglas and Hon. l.. French contested
the questions at issue and late this after.
noon Judge Kingsley said he would rep-
der decision tomorrow morning. The
defense attacks the validity Of the law
as well as the acts of the justice issuing
the commitment, the action of the board
Of health and the police officers acting
for that body. If the question is decided
for the defendant 1t will be a severe
blow to the prosecution. The witnesses
examined today were the carpenters who
built the hospital, members OF the board
of health at the time of the killing of
Randall, and Chief of Police Sullivan.

After a sixteen-day trial the Kehr muir

jury this afternoon. District Attorney
Morris made an eloquent closing argu-
ment, after which Judge Wyman pre-

innocence of four men is at stake, it is
not probable that verdict will be agreed
upon before tomorrow.
