TO SHOW HIS INTENT
State Succeeds in introducing a Sec
ond Megaarden Bill.
LEGAL ARGUMENT FOLLOWS
Defense Holds That the Persecution
Must he Limited to BIN Named
in Indictment.

There was another long delay in the
Megaarden trial this morning owing to
an argument on the right Of the state to
introduce testimony concerning bills for
months other than the one named in the
Indictment under which Mr.. Megaarden
Is being tried. Judge Pond foresaW a
long debate and considerably excused the
jury until II o'clock. But even then the
attorneys had not found all their authors
ties and the jurors and witnesses were
excused until afternoon.
The evidence which the county attorney
sought to introduce was intended tosshow
the intent and knowledge Of Sheriff
Megaarden regarding the fraudulent trans
actions in his Office. He explained that
the bill for July, 1899 purported to show
that Sheriff Megaarden had taken two
children to the state training school July
s and z. respectively. For this service
the bill charged the county full fare to
Red Wing and return, hack service at
either end of the journey and sheriff S
attendance, when, as matter of fact
the two children had been taken to Red
Wing by Superintendent Brown himself
without expense to the county The same

bill, said the county attorney, also pur-
ported to show that Sheriff Megaarden
had taken two children to the state pub
lie school at Owatonna on two different
days and had made two separate maximum
charges, when, as a matter of fact, both
children were taken to, Owatonna on the
same day.
There were, moreover, several bills Of
similar character it was argued, show
Ing the methods of the sheriff to be iden-
t1cal or practically SO in all cases, in
dicating that the fraudulent overcharges
could not have been the result of acct
dent or error, but were made deliberate
ly and with intent and knowledge. Mr..
Boardman cited numerous cases in which
the rulings were that evidence of other
crimes was admissible to prove intent.
This theory was combatted by A. Y.
Merrill, who contended that the state
must abide by the bill rendered by Me-

Some Of His Recent Experiences at

Fred Briggs, at present the only dis

six months would not, In effect, be much
worse than pleasant vacation. But 1t
seems that he has fallen out with the au-
thorities there and that his penance SIS
onerous. He has been in solitary con-
fnement for a week or more. According
to reports he is confined in an unused
corridor which is insufticiently heated. A
recent visitor there found him blue with
the cold, his teeth chattering. He had
