A dozen questions in line with these
follow.
The girl has broken loose from home
and insists upon sleeping out and so
her father wants her sent to the reforma-

PLEAD FOR A DELAY
Attorneys for Ames Claim
Public Sentiment Is
Against Him
KINGS SENTENCE TODAY
Hargey's Perjury Trial Set for Next
Observation-Disclosures and Fitchette
to BE Tried During
This Term.
KINGS SENTENCE TODAY

The case of Supt. Ames did not
come up yesterday. 1t was called
in the morning and allowed to pass until
. p. m. at which time it was understood
that Attorney Welch intended to ask
for a change of venue. When 2 o'clock
arrived instead of asking for change,
Attorney Welch said that they had de-
cided not to ask for it, but instead ne
asked for further time in WHICH to pre-
sent motion in writing. for a post
ponement of the case until another term
of court.
The defense will contend in its motion
that public sentiment at the present
time is wrought up to such state of
prejudice that it is absolutely impossible
for any person connected with the po-
lice department of the city of Minneapo-
lis to secure a fair and impartial trial,
and if the matter is carried over to the
fall term of court, the fever of excite
ment and prejudice will have subsidized,
and the defendant will then secure a
trial that will be Just and fair.
Judge Simpson said that if the motion
was to be considered it would be neces-
sary to wait until the affidavits had
been submitted, consequently he post
poned hearing in the matter until 10
o'clock this morning.
County Attorney Boardman offered no
objections to the case being carried over
The day was taken up in disposing OF
the cases that are to come UP of indicted
police officials. In the case Of Detective
Fred Malone he was granted until
Thursday to demur. The case against
Mayor Ames has been passed on the
calendar. Detective Harveys perjury
case has been set for next Monday. The
date of Capt. Coffee John Fitchette's
trial is still indefinite.
Cases Will Be Put Over.
From present indications it looks as
though all the cases would be carried
over until the September term with the
possible exception of that of Supt Ames.
Detective Malone and Capt. Fitchette.
Detective Norm King will appear in
court this morning to receive sentence
for the crime of which he has been con-
Victed There will be an argument be-
fore he is sentenced between Attorney
relative to the sentence to be imposed,
as it appears from the statutes that
there are two degrees of penalties which
can be inflicted. The one which Attor-
ney WEIGH will contend for is a fine of
900 and one year in the county Jail.
The county attorney is to argue that
this penalty has been implicitly repealed,
and that the maximum penalty at the
present time for the offense of being
accessory to a. felony after the fact is
hVe years in the penitentiary.
If the latter sentence is inflicted by
the judge, then will come the necessity
of furnishing a different bond pending
the arguments for a new trial and a
final appeal to the supreme court.
