HOLDS OMNIBUS
INDICTMENT \ " VALID Ii
Judge Elliott Gives Reasons
for Refusing Or. Ames
New Trial. E

Judge c. B. Elliott, who recently refus-
ed former Mayor A. A. Anes new trial
after his conviction upon the charge of
receiving bribe of $500 In return for DO
lice protection has filed long memoran-
dunn in the case.
In this he sustains the validity of the
omnibus Indictment" upon which the for
mer mayor was indicted. and establishes
precedent n criminal law in Mime
sofa. On this point he says:
The defendant was indicted for accept
ing bribe. After very careful trial at
which the defendant was represented by
able and eloquent counsel the Jury return
ed verdict of guilty. An examination of
the records convinces me that the verdict
was right and should not be disturbed un-
less for error affecting the substantial
rights of the defendant. I find no such in
this record t
The real contention as to the sufi-
cheney of the Indictment, the alleged err
ror assigned being the refusal of the court

VI the several alleged offenses it would
proceed to trial. >c5 q
In substance it is alleged that On the
GATE named the defendant received as a
pribe the sum of 5000 from number of
persons who contributedIvarious amounts
winch In the aggregates amounted to said
sum. ri Ct
1t is very clear to me that the defend
ant committee sh1gleS distinct offense
when he accepted a srolr of bills amount
ing TO 5000, with the understanding then
present In his mind that he would protect
from prosecution all who had contributed
to the fund Il nj
He did the one vital act which he is
charged with doing, when he accepted the
$oVo from the hands OF the party to
Whom 1t had been paid in various amounts
by the different persons referred to in the
Indictment. This act fof the. defendant
was the elimination of several acts of
otner people, but on, his part there was
unity OF action, and unity of intent
The charge in the Indictment is easily
understood and the defendant was fully
informed of all the facts and knew exactly
Wnat he had to meet at the trial He was
not mlsled or. confused in his defense. He

+ Under the recent decision in the case
or State. VS.. Fred W. Ames, all the eTi-
dence which was received in the case at

ed causes of action

long delay, arrive again at the point
Where we now are. Only a violation of
the substantial rights of the defendant
would justify this. and 1 find no such vio-

SO as to release the troops for oper-
RtionS elsewhere there is unfortunately
every reason to suspect that an at
tempt is making to produce the indiS-
criminate slaughter of the Bulgarian
element in which Christians of all
denominations are in danger of being
treated alike. Should this prove true
there can be no hope of saving the
greater part of the Christian popula-

Bepce of news from the interior of Ma

1t Is feared that the conditions there

Macedonian organizations are strain
Ing every nerve to force Bulgaria into
war. Large and small bands are
crossing the frontier of Northern
Macedonia, where Gen.. Zontcheff and
Col. Yankoff are organizing the in
surrectionary movement, which is ex-
pected to break out in the valley of the
Struma before the end of the week.
The Macedonian committees are pros
ecuting an active campaign to raise
funds in Bulgaria. They are address,
Ing letters to everybody in a position
to contribute to the cause. The ap-
plications usually do not refer to the
revolutionary movement, but ask aid
for the starving and homeless fugi-
tfves from Macedonia. Where wealthy
citizens decline to subscribe the or
ganizations do not hesitate to make
strong representations. A rich mer-
CT of Philippopolis was recently
told that unless he contributed $4,000
his house would be blown up.
The newspaper, Poshta, asserts that
all the villages in the district of
Leren are burning. According to rev.

THREE INCHES OF RAIN.
North Dakota Farmers VIII Find Thresh-
Ing a Difficult Matter.

Special to The Globe
FARGO, N. D., Sept. 1.-THE weather
observer states that the rainfall yesterday
and today aggregated few fractions un-
der three inches. Old settlers say they
don't remember so big a fall in the same
period or that crop conditions from that
cause were ever so critical. 1t is feared
that though the grain may dry out, the
land will be SO wet that it will be a long
time before threshing rigs will be able to
be hauled about the fields and roads.
Special to The Globe.
CROOKSTON, Mimi, Sept IA heavy
fall of rain visited the Red River valley
today and yesterday. The precipita ton
Sunday did not exceed 0.15 inches, but
today 1t has rained the greater portion of
the day. The local government observa-
tory registers 1.65 inches. The rain was
general over the valley and it is proboble
that considerable damage will result to
grain standing in the shock. The wet
weather of the last two weeks has placed
the grain in a position where it will begin
to grow If the Weather should come off
warm. If the weather continues cool and
clears the damage will be slight.
