FROM THE CAPITAL

Casper ]. Ernst, the St. Paul capital
ist, indicted on charges of forgery and
embezzlement, will file no schedule in
bankruptcy, although adjudged bank
rupt, and apparently the United States
court will be unable to punish him for
contempt. Ernst is now in the RAM
sey county Jail, with apparently no
hope OF getting out for SINE time, and
commitment for contempt will not
affect him. He has been advised not
to file schedule in bankruptcy by his
attorney, Stan I. Donnelly, for if forg-
ed notes or mortgages were placed on
the schedule he would render himself
liable, and if securities, outstanding.
we're omitted from the schedule, his
examination would probably result in
admissions which could be used
against him in criminal trial
