such evidence as is on hand, and gives

such evidence as Is on hand, and gives
cause of the death. Sometimes the
coroner's jury also holds man to the
grand jury. AS rule ell the work
of sitting evidence is left for a later
time to the police. In all cases, how
ever, the original verdict of the coro-
ner's jury must be taken as the basis
for further investigation; for exam
pie, when verdict of suicide has been
rendered grand jury cannot come
along afterward and indict some one
for the murder of the supposed sui
eide. This can be done only on
presentation of new evidence and
revision of the original coroner's jury
verdict.
AS the coroner acts as a judge and
as, moreover, he has practically the
complete say as to the selection of his
jurymen, he is a parsonage of enor-
nous power. 1t is sometimes said
that the coroner in a great city can
WELD wider influence than all the
policemen, lieutenants and chiefs of
police in the county combined. With
railroad companies especially the
| limited. inasmuch as accidental kill
ings come constantly under his charge
| and the verdict in each instance may
mean thousands of dollars to the rail-
road company.
Nevertheless. the coroner claims
that his lot is hard one. A few weeks
ago there was trial in Chicago, two
women having been struck and killed
by railroad train. Among the wit
nesses before the coroner's jury a
young man, the son of the women
killed, and two young sisters of his
appeared. The young man was furi-
GUS and accused the deputy coroner
railroad company. Perhaps he was
grief-stricken by his mothers death,
but it was evident that he was con-
sidering also the prospects of getting
heavy damages as a result of the cor
oner's jury verdict. A number of
friends had crowded into the morgue
and all combined in their onslaught
on the officials. Moreover, the jury
men also-as is nearly always the case
were prejudiced against the road,
and would have been glad to soak it
to EN-" as one of their number con-
fessed. In order to avoid further
trouble the deputy coroner postponed
the case to the following week at an
other place. He hoped to get new
set of jurymen, but one of the old
number appeared, and, of course, he

the advisability of having county emer-

that the fund ought not to amount to
more than 500. During the discussion
William Pitt Murray became a little

WIFE Tells SID STORY
MRS. ELLA CUNNINGHAM SEIa1xS
REFUGE FROM CRUELTY
IN DIVORCE
SAYS HUSBAND cHoKED HER
Plates, Carving Knives and Dishes
Used as Missiles, and Once
She Was Threatened
With Revolver.

A story of cruelty covering a married
existence of over twenty-five wears was
what MRS. Ella Cunningham Yesterday
poured into the ears of Judge Lewis
ana a willing listening throng that gath
ereo IN the court room. Mrs Cunning
nam is suing for divorce from her hus-
rand, William Cunningham, and in her
contentious she alleges cruelty and in
human treatment of the grossest kind.
Beginning with her honeymoon. which
found her in little town in Virginia,
Where her husband applied a vile epithet
ana choked her for becoming somesick,
she told OF her existence as wife until
their removal to ST. Paul and up to the
present time 1n~yerf o<at
Cunningham was then travelling for q
wooden house and she accompanied him
on his trips, and the choking incident
with an accompaniment of blows and
KICKS, was repeated on a number of oc-
casions. In Chicago she was compelled
to lock herself in a closet on one occa-
sion in order to escape his wrath While
living in st. Louis she chided him for
drinking too heavily and in return he
chased her with piece of wood COM
pelling her to take refuge in chicken
shed. While in St Paul she said Mr.
Cunningham drank heavily and on one
occasion his boekkeeper, who boarded
when the husband threatened to kill the
wife.
Several times he chased her and the
children out of the house and they were
compelled to take refuge with the neigh
bors. This fact was testified to by
several witnesses, whose protection she
had asked. Showing Mr.. Cunninghams
ungovernable temper, the wife told of
being made a target for dishes, a carving
knife and in fact anything that came
handy. For one entire week she re-
manned from him and stopped at the
Windsor hotel The finish came when
he pointed a revolver at her and threat
ened-t to blow out her brains.
Mrs. Cunningham is forty-four years
of age and has six children ranging in
age from seven to twenty-three years.
The husband is contesting the suit,
claiming that his wife is of a violent
temperament. Several witnesses were
called yesterday who substantiated por-
tions of the wife's testimony, especially
the revolver threatening incident. An
effort was made by the defense to show
that the visits from several gentlemen
received by the wife were not always of
a proper character In fact an effort was
made to show how the husband on sever
al occasions was compelled to order them
out

REoPENs HIS PRINTING OFFICE

naming In the CITY and
CARRYING ON Hi
Work.

The threats that have been made
against him by several people, do not
seem to worry Albert Dahlstrom, who
made such sensational public confess
SION last Sunday afternoon, for yesterday
ne reopened his printing Office at 1854
Payne avenue and will resume the pub
llshlng of his paper. Very few people.
however, knew that he spent all day yes
terday in their midst, hard at work get
ing cut the next issue of his paper in
which he intends to explain his stand.
When asked about the matter by
reporter last night, Dahlstrom
said:
"a great many of the things published
about me In the papers are false. 1 do
not deny that I was on intimate terms
with Annie Hagstrand, but everything
mas been settled up in a friendly way
and the girl will be properly taken care
Of. AT that time of the trouble she was
living with family that was hostile to
me and they would not let me see the

my wife and while L. was gone the ar
fair was fixed up. 1 intend to carry on
my work in this section of the country
and will hold another meeting at the
hall on Payne avenue next Sunday
afternoon"
1t is not known at present just what
action will be taken by the First ward
ers In regard to Dahlstrom, but it is in
timated in several quarters that some
thing is likely to be pulled OFF, in case
he persists in preaching on Payne ave-
nue.. Dalllstrom also has congregation
on the West side and generally address,
es 1t On Sunday mornings. He will
preach in Minneapolis on Thursday
evening of this week and next Sunday
evening.
In the article in yesterday mornings
G b in regard to Dahlstrom, it was
enormously stated that Dahlstrom was
Mormon. This is denied by several
elders of the church in this town who,
in speaking of the matter to the G o b
yesterday said: Mr. Albert Dahlstrom
has no connection with the church OF
the latter Day Saints. Had he been a
member and committed such a grave
crime, he would have been very prompt
ly disciplined"

TO SECURE MORE CONVENTIONS
milwaukee & Kansas City Endeavor

Milwaukee & Kansas City EndeavOr-

Emulating the example set by three
Eastern cities, Milwaukee and Kansas
City business men are contemplating the
formation of a Western convention
trust with an agreement as to distrlbI-
ton similar to that existing between De-
troit, Cleveland and Buffalo. The su-
perior standardization of the work Incl
dent to securing conventions is what is
believed to be the secret of the success
of the Eastern cities, and with the for
nation of a circuit including st. Paul,
Kansas City, Milwaukee and possibly
Denver, it is thought that a successful
competition may be instituted. AS an
example of the value of an organization
OF this kind, it may be mentioned that
last year Detroit secured 1S2 conventions
and that Cleveland and Buffalo, the other
cities in the combination, had almost as

MOTHER WANTS HER SON.
Edward Hepburn Defendant in Ha-
beas Corpus Proceedings.

Before Judge Lewis yesterday after
noon Edward Hepburn was the defend
ant in habeas corpus proceedings
brought by his wife, Lila Hepburn. of
Chicago, to recover possession of her
twelve-year-old son, who, she claims, is
wrongfully withheld from her.
According to her testimony, her mar
ried relations with Hepburn became
strained year ago and they parted,
two of the children being placed with rel
atives in Chicago because of the Wife,s
inability to care for them and provide
herself, with living. Later Hepburn
marrying went to Chicago and spirited
the boy away; The mother learned ed o. Of
superintendents in a number of the large
cities. The. divorce was secured, she
claimed without her knowledge.
The husband claims that he took the
boy with his wife's knowledge. and that
she has frequently corresponded with
him since the boy was brought to St.
Paul. He claims to be giving the boy
an education, and otherwise seeing that
his future is cared for. The case was
taken under Amusement by Judge Lewis.
