der Of Narcissos Gener Gonzales, was
called for the present session Of court, has
been continued until July. IT,
Colonel James H. Tillman came into the
courtroom early. He was accompanied
by Senator Tillman, who sat at his side.
Tillman looks we'll after. his confine
ment in the county Jail since January.
He was neatly dressed and in good spirits
and talked freely with his counsel.
The grounds upon which the continu-
ance was urged were the absence Of two
witnesses of great Importance. Captain
w. j. White Is expected to testify that
Gonzales went to the statehouse before
the tragedy and inquired for, Tillman,
stating that he had once made Tillman
"show the white feather and would do so
again. The defense also claims that a
Miss Roper, a trained nurse, heard Con-
zales bitterly denounce Tillman. -.
Affidavits were presented to the effect
that Captain White was i'll and that Miss
Roper was in New York city.

Il sIEBECKER GOES N|DlFIs SUMMING up
Jury Will Have the Tanke Murder
Case, It Is Thought, by
Tomorrow.
Theory Of State as to Movements
Of Defendant Prior to and
After the Murder.

Special to The Journal re. -. ~.
ST. James. MIMI, April SIN the Tanke
murder trial to-day William Danheim and
Sheriff Mcmillan were recalled and gave
testimony in regard to digging for the
revolver at the WeHner farm. In surre-
buttal the defense recalled Nicholas
Metsen and Harry Atlas the latter MAX
ing denial Of Danheim's and Wilds
statement that he had told them he was
not In the vicinity of the Welner farm
that night.
The defense rested at 10 a. m. and C.
r. Davis began the closing argument for
the state at 1915 al. m. In opening he
said the crime has been a secret which
the perpetrators covered UP for several
years. Referring to the insinuations
cast by the defense on Detective Cole
man, he said COleman's work on the case
had at least brought a confession from
Mrs. Tanke. - -.
He strove to make clear to the jury
that Tanke committed the deed some time
before o'clock, hurried to New U1m
by the route heretofore described, and
made his appearance in as many places
there In as short q time as possible to
prove an alibi. -. ,,'a:-s ....= ~.
Continuing, Mr.. Davis said the testimo-
ny of Mrs. Tanke at Henderson, where
she told the robber story, was convincing
proof Of the unreliabiity Of direct evil
dence at times. Circumstantial evidence
OF the right character was stronger.
Not a Natural Position.
He demonstrated that the body of Well
ner could not possibly have naturally
taken the position in which it was found.
and must have been so placed after the
commission of the deed. He said the de-
| Tense has been unable to prove that Tanke
| was in New Ulm after 1880 o'clock. He
went back to Wellner's. said Mr.. Davis,
| IN the dead Of night and replaced the
| horse which had so hurriedly taken him
to Klossner to catch the New Ulm- bound
train, in the stable At that time he un-
doubtedly himself tied the hands of Mrs
Wellner and stationed the body in the po-
sition It was found in the morning.
! The case will probably go to the jury
to- morrow. -
| WelIner's Reputation Good.
Most Of the witnesses put on in re-
buttal yesterday afternoon were for the
| purpose of establishing the good repu-
! tation of John Wellner, thereby refuting
| the claim made by the defense that Mrs
Wellner could find justification for the
| murder Of her husband. -'.' -
| Some of these witnesses were relatives
| of Mrs. Tanke, viz, her father and two
brothers, Gottlieb Bieraugel, and Richard
and William, respectively. Joseph Wild
| and William Dunheim also testified to the
good reputation of the murdered man.
Other witnesses were Ernest Sauer, who
| denied the allegation Of the defense that
