Sargsson a Fraud MatrfmonialIy as Well
as Financially.
ABERDEEN, s. D.-Advi ices from Mon
tana are to the effect that the so-called
nephew of Dom Paul Kruger, who recent
ly married Edith Adams, atg1rl OF Is years,
at Glendive, is the same man who mar
ried a woman here few months ago, and
left her after finding that he could not
secure possession of her property. He
was later driven out of South Dakota as
a fraud who was sWindling people by
representing himself as a minister col
lecting money for widows and orphans OF
Boer soldiers. Relatives of the Glendive
girl took steps to look up his antecedents,
and Sargsson disappeared after he had
been married two days. There had been
no divorce from the Aberdeen woman. and
it is believed that Sargsson is bigamist
with wives in different states.
1t Is not probable that there will be any
change in the material used for the new
Aberdeen federal building. An effort was
made to secure the substitution Of granite
for Kasota stone in the first story, the
superstition being that enough money re-
manned in the fund after paying other
costs to allow for the change. The COM
puter in the office of the architect of the
treasury department places the cost of the
change at $4,000, while the supervising
architect states that there would be less
than $4,000 available from which to meet
Ille Change anu the contingent expenses
that will arise. He also says that If gran
ite should be used, the appearance would
be ragged and patched.

WOULD NOT ACCEPT OFFICE.
Judge Torrance Expresses Views In
Emphatic Manner

Judge Ell Torrance, commander-in-chief
or thu Grand Army of the Republic, re-
turned yesterday morning from Washing
ten, where he had been called by Presi-
dent Roosevelt to talk over pension mat
tiers There was considerable specuIa ton
at the time of Commander Torranca's de-
parture as to whether or not he was to
DC made pension comm issioner When
he was asked yesterday regarding tho
matter, he said:
Il wish you would say and make it Just
as strong as possible that I'm not a car
didate for any office. 1 don't want to be
pension commissioner 1t is an ungracieas
position
Il have been asked several times to be
candidate for other offices, but as long
as | am commander of the Grand Army
L snail neither ask nor accept any polit1-
Cal once, etther elective or 2ppointiVe, be-
cause the present place I now occupy is
too high a one to be belittled."
IN speaking of the pension committee re-
pert, Judge Torrance said: THE report
covered the result of the committees iI4-
Festigation and met with the approval OF
all members of the committee from TIE
6. A. X. The report has not been made
public. The committee, however, found
no fault with the pension laws as Ihev
exist. Their objections were confined
solely to the manner in which the laws
were construed and administered cy t;ae
pension bureau
There has been a growing desire for IN,
past TWO years for a change in the Of
ice of commissioner of pensions and the
feeilng has been shared by all conserve
tive Grand Army men, throughout the
country, because they believe that many
great lnjustices have been done to many
deserving and worthy claimants for pen
Sions
All that the veteran soldier of the
Union desires is to have the laws admin
istered justly and fairly, so that all who
are entitled to benefits will receive them.
When asked who would be the next
pension commissioner, Judge Torrance
said that he did not know, neither did
he know whether Evans would be given
another government position or not

WAS FOUND GUILTY
CHARGES AGAINST REV. RICHTER
FOUND TO BE
TRUE
AN APPEAL TO BE TAKEN

Tried on ScripfuraI or COnSti-
tutIOnaI GrOunds-WhoIe
Matter q Farce.

the Minneapolis presbytery was concluded
yesterday when the jury brought in a
verdict sustaining the presDytery in all
the charges. depoSing Rev. Richter from
the ministry and accommodating him
from the church. In the case the jury
took the fullest action possible.
Rev. Richter was accused of a doctrine
and practice in relation to the saloon and
use of intoxicating liquors, which doctrine
and practice are contrary to the teachings
of the church. He was also accused of
violating his ordination vows.
The trial was held in the Westminster
Presbyterian church, and was executive.
Rev. H. II. Presley acted moderator
instead Of Rev. Stanley B. Roberts, who
IS the regular presiding ouicer, but who
was serving as a member of the prose-
cution committee. Rev. John c. FAIRIES
was clerk
The case was opened by reading of the
charges after which Rev. NJ d. Hardin
was placed on the stand for the preseeu-
ton After the testimony was in, the
defendant admitted the charges as stated
and no further testimony was taken.
Each side was given an hour for argu-
ment; c. 7. Thompson began the argu-
ment for the prosecution committee, and
was followed by Mr.. Richter The case
went to the jury about 4 o'clock, and they
were out about an hour when they
brought III their verdict, which was
stated above.
Mr. Richter accepted the verdict stole
ally, simply giving verbal notice of ap-
peal and requesting a transcript of the
proceedings. His request precipitated
another warm exchange of words, some
of the members Directing to his being
furnished complete transcript.
Mr. hichter was seen last night and
said regarding the verdict: 81 feel highly
honored. My accusers We're my judges,
and the result was as many of my friends
predicted l was condemned before [ was
tried and the whole proceeding is farcical.
They refused to Try the matter on scrip
tural and constitutional grounds, and
would not rest the merits of the case
upon the teachings of scripture as to the
use of wine. l will appeal the case to
the state synod and if necessary to the
general assembly
''The case is one of considerable interest
as IL is the only one in the history OF
the church where a minister has been
expelled for expressing views differing
from those of the majority of his brethren
on the prohibition question"
Mr. Richter is indignant because of the
refusal to furnish him VII. a complete
transcripts of the proceedings, and will
appear next Monday before the presbytery
and make a formal demand for it.
