=. Minneapolis, June 1S.-Mayor Ames,
who has for, the past twenty-five or
thirty years enacted various roles be-
fore the public in the city of Minneapo-
lis and the state of Minnesota, was
forced to stand before the bar of JUS
tice in Hennepin county and listen to
the reading of an indictment which
charged him as public official with
Offering bribe.
The indictment, stripped of it's legal
verbiage, accuses DR.. Ames of offering
a bribe of $500 to County Commits
sioner Edward P. Sweet, on condition
that Edward P. Sweet vote for Thomas
R. Brown, Jr., for the Office of sheriff
of Hennepin county.
After the reading Attorney Jackson
asked for time to enter plea to the
indictment, and such time was set for
Monday, June %, at 10 o'clock a. m.

Simpson, which was furnished.

Judge Harrison and a jury on the

prisoner had forfeited his bail and the
proceedings came to an abrupt close.
Every effort is being made to trace
NOrbeck. but So far without success.
There are circumstantial reports
that point to suicide, but as yet these
are only rumors.
Minneapolis, June 16.-One of the
most dramatic incidents yet evoked by
the police scandal occurred during the
day in the trial of Detective Norbeck.
Detective George Harvey was dis.
missed from the stand in the Norbeck
trial and ordered to remain in court
while Peter Burg, a man whose pres
ence was total surprise to the de-
fense, succeeded the police official as
a witness and fatty contradicted vital
features OF his testimony. Judge Har-
rison promptly ordered the jury out
of the room and in it's absence com.
mitted Harvey to Jail pending action
on what the court termed manifest
perjury.
Harvey was searched in Jail and re-
lieved of his revolver, it being feared
that he might attempt violence. Later
in the day he telephoned to Mayor
Ames and threatened to expose a
worse scandal if his liberation on bail
was not procured without delay.
