Rochester Jury Brings In It's
Verdict Last Night.
Finds That Hahn Came to His Death
Through An Accident-The
Conclusions.

Rochester, Mimi, Nov, 15.-The
jury in the case of George Hahn of st.
Paul, who died as result of injuries
sustained in struggle with his at
tendants at the Rochester hospital re-
turned verdict generating the at
tendants. The verdict after reviewing
the facts in the case says:
George Hahn came to his death at
the Rochester state hospital at 10 30
O'Clock on the evening of Friday,
Nov. I, 1909. from a fracture of four
ribs on left side, three on the right
side and the sternum broken and the
left fifth rib having penetrated the
left lung, causing leakage of>air into
the chest cavity, thus being the inn
mediate cause Of death. There is no
evidence that the attendants caring
for George Hahn ziciously in anger or
with intent produced such injuries,
but that the said patient, George
Hahn, received said injuries to his
ribs and lungs during violent strug-
gle with his attendants at said hos
pital between the hours of 6 and Z
clock p. m. of Thursday, Nov. g,
1902, either at time hrst. when one
of the attendants, in his efforts to pre-
vent said patient biting his hands,
threw his knee across said patient, or,
second, at time when said patient
fell across his bed striking his chest
on the iron rail, at which time the
attendant or attendants may have
fallen upon him, and the patient, he
ing able to struggle very violently and
after receiving said injury until sew
eral hours afterwards, when the air
had escaped from the puncture into
the lung cavity, sufficient to cause SER
ious symptoms. The patient, George
Hahn, was known to the attendants as
powerful man, who was, when in
need of restraint, violent and danger
GUS. It was the duty of the head
nurse, when informed that attendants
were having trouble with their pa
tients, to have at once gone to their
assistance and to have directed in
person the work of controlling and
quieting the patient, which he did
not do. Further, the nurse who was
after 6 80 o clock Thursday evening in
charge of the ward in which the pa
tient was confined and who personally
directed the placing of Hahn in the
restraining sheet, who knew of the
struggle preceding, and accompanied
the attending physicians to the pa
tient's room at about s 80 clock of
the same evening, should have in
formed said physician of the violent
struggle of the attendants with the
patient, Hahn, Notwithstanding the
patient was then sleeping.

someiy painted, straight wooden poles
are used in nearly all cities except
the very largest. The wooden poles
last twenty years. and it is still an
open question whether they are not
more economical than iron poles.
The latter sometimes cause leakage
of electric power. It was intended to
build first class line If any is built,
as that is the most paying in the end
The people who are to be asked to
finance the road must see whether the
investment is going to be paying
one, and the extra expense OF iron
poles would be heavy. The city will
be lucky if it gets street car line at

OFFICERS NOT LIABLE.
Supreme Court Decides the Madelia
Warehouse Case.

In the case of George F. Rice and
Henry Cooling, appellants, vs. the
MadeIia Farmers Warehouse com-
pany, respondents, the supreme court,
by Justice Collins, Friday held that
the officers of the company were not
liable for the debts of the corporation.
"Unfairness' of a character to
make corporation officer, director or
stockholder liable for the debts of the
corporation under the law must be
something more than failure to super
wise the affairs of the corporation on
strict business principles. Such fail
ure, it is held, might be due to lack
of business qualifications.
Prior to the failure of the Madelia
Farmers Warehouse company the ap,
pellants claim they had &c. 300 worth
Of grain in the elevator.
They set up the claim that the fail,
ure of the company was due to the
speculation of the officers, and debts
incurred thereby.
The officers mortgaged the plant fol-
So, 900 and issued notes of the corpor.
alton for 81, 900 additional.
The company failed, and went into
the hands of Rice & Cooling. They
attempted to hold the officers fer the
SO, 800, and also for the 6, 600 bushels
of grain, which it is claimed, had
been placed in the elevator and fraud
ulently sold.

poration debts, affirms the decision O.

ROBINSON'S PLEA
He Says He Is Not Guilty OF
Forgery.
Arthur Miller Fined SIS For Stealing
a BicycIe-.-AIbert Perry Guilty of
Grand Larceny.

D. g. Robinson appeared before
Judge Cray at two O'Clock Saturday
and entered a plea of not guilty
to each of the indictments against
him. His trial under one of these in
dictments is expected to occur next
week.
Albert Perry, the little Madison
Lake boy. pleaded guilty to the
charge of grand larceny in the second
degree. He will be sentenced later.
Arthur Miller, who pleaded guilty
to the theft of a bicycle, received his
sentence this afternoon. W. E. Young
made plea for leniency for him, say
ing that he was born and raised in the
county, is twenty years old, lives at
home, and that this is the first trouble
that he ever got into. He got drunk,
took two or three bicycles and after
wards left them IN town when sober,
not remembering where he got them.
Judge Gray said that he did not want
the defendant to gain the impression
that his being intoxicated when he
took the wheels excused the offense.
He sometimes thought that this ag-
gravated offenses. A person knows
whether he is law abiding citizen
when drunk, and if he is not he
should understand that when ne gets
intoxicated he takes upon his should
ers the full responsibility for his acts.
Judge Cray Said that he understood
that the defendants inclinations now
are to be industrious and to abstain
from liquor, and because of this he
would make the punishment as light
as posi- BILE. He then sentenced Miller
to pay fine of $75 or go to Jail un-
til it was paid, not to be confined ever
