RULED AGAINST AMES
Testimony Of Other Women Who Paid Is
Admitted.

SSIiHIOIIy VI OIHcT RvOInSn VINO fatO Is
Admitted.
Judge Brooks yesterday afternoon dealt
the defense the first hard blow in the
tion to the introduction OF any evidence
by the state other than that bearing on
the specific offense charged in the in
dictment. For more than an hour Mr.
WEIGH argued the point, insisting steadily
that the state should not be allowed to
attempt to prove the specific charge by
throwing light on parallel offenses.
The county attorney replied that the
evidence was to be used in order to
prove the existence Of a system of ex-
tortion. If the state was confined to one
case, it would be easy for the defense to
offer a plausible excuse which might
hoodwink the jury. ~. ~..
In ruling against the defense, Judge
Brooks, after being assured by Mr.. Board
man that the state expected to show that
all money paid at different times reached
the chief Of police. said that he would re-
cetve the testimony not for the bearing
it might have as to whether the money
was paid, but if paid, for what purpose
It must be confined to transactions OF
like nature. 1t might be, he said thai
the money was received innocently. The
evidence was for the purpose Of proving
otherwise --~' 81 ~

would be advised later as to the chiefs

men who accompanied the chief called
and asked her to call at jewelry store

her to pay fine Of $25. She had placed

"business makes her amenable to police
control, testified that Ames had told her
it was all right to pay Cohen" Emma
Murphy testified that she, too, had been
instructed to pay Cohen She became
sick, however, and so was unable to pay,
and when Cohen complained, she went
to the city hall to explain matters. She
told Annes Of her illness, and he replied
that if she couldn't pay she couldn't, but
he also instructed her to pay just as soon
as she could, and volunteered the in
formation that ."all the rest" were pay
ing, just as they had done before. Other
witnesses gave similar testimony.
This provides an important link in the
states case. 1t connects the chief, per-
sonally, with Joseph Cohen. It punctures
the claim Of the defense that Arnes was
ignorant of Cohen's acts. Unless dis
proved, it makes the colonel an accessory,
both before and after the fact Of a felony.
And the story is not yet all told. -.
Much now depends upon the story to be
told by Cohen himself He will not, it
is understood, deny that money was paid
him, or that he solicited it; but he may
deny that the former superintendent Of
police ever got any share Of the graft, "
or that the money was ever. paid over.~by
him at least, to any city official In fact,
it is said, that Cohen intends to use as a
scape-goat man now dead; land. that he
will testify the money was paid to this
man.. =. -
It is likely that Otto Wirtensohn will
prove an important witness. He accom-
panied the superintendent on his tour
through the red light district and he
also took Cohen around afterwards and
introduced him.. Wirtensohn knows much
and he will tell all. The chief, Of course,
will admit only what he must and will
deny everything that might tend to in
eliminate him. He may even do as he
has done before, seek to put off the re-
sponsibility upon his brother, now living
in West Baden. mo. ..Ne = ..rr....
Miss Harris Examined.
Jessie Harris, whose. testimony was un
completed yesterday, was not present
when court re-convened this morning. She
| arrived, however, ten minutes late and
Mr.. Welch at once resumed his cross ex-
animation. He led the witness to ADM,
| that she had never paid the former super
intendent Of police cent and that he had
never told her to pay any money to any
body. Then Mr. WEIGH asked if the wit
ness had ever been molested while at her
present location either under the Ames
or Waite administrations She replied she
had not, but later corrected herself and
said she was under orders to move by Oct
/ to some location below Washington ave-
nue. if she wished to continue in her bust
ness In addition, she had been notified
| that she would have to pay fine of $1Oi
! a month into the municipal court, and had
been compelled to pay such fine for the
privilege of running during the presen,
month.
At the conclusion of Miss Harris testi-
mony, Mr.. Welch moved that 1t be strick-
en- out but the court denied the motion.
May Mcintosh of 242 Hennepin avenue,
was the next witness. She said Superin-
| tendent Ames had called at her place
some evening last winter. He was ac-
companied by Detectives Wirtensohn and
Bracket.

Agree to Employers Terms. -"
In the milling district the general opin-
ion is that the employees will accept the
terms Of the mill owners and the general
sentiment also seems to be that the own
ers have been very considerate. While
the men do not get all they ask, the con-
cessions granted are admittedly very i'm
portant. The men might win strike, but
all parties would suffer by strike and it
is question if anything could be gained
in the long run. The schedule proposed
by the men is so close to the old one
that the difference can be conceded in re-
