In the Hands of His Wife.
DR.. A. A. Ames is absolutely in the
hands OF his wife. He does precisely
as she dictates in every particular. 1t
| must not be supposed that this inter-
view with DR.. Ames was given precise
~ IN the manner of its occurrence
Whlle the utterances here attributed
TO DR.. Arnes are his, it is to be under
stood that he frequently wanders from
the topic under discussion to others not
connected with the matter in hand
and has to be brought back to his topic
py suggestions from the interviewer.
AT times his facial expression be-
comes peculiarly vacant, and it is to be
seen that he maintains conversation
at the expense Of a great mental eff
fort At q word from Mrs. Ames he
ceases taking on any particular line
and in his discourses upon the subject
OF persecution he is frequently inter-
rupted by Mrs. Ames with a quiet sug-
gestion that he talk about something
else.
Mrs. Ames said in an interview that
Dr. Ames was absolutely innocent of
every charge made against him. She
declared that no more open-hearted or
generous man had ever lived, adding
that DR.. Ames had fought his fight IN
the open and that his principal mis-
take had been in reposing too much
confidence in men who posed as his
friends.
Immediately on arriving in Mime
apolis DR.. Ames went to the Nicollet
MOTEL, where he has apartments with
ms wife and daughter He will remain
there IN charge of an officer pending
an order of the court. His attorneys
Frank M. Nye and Henry S. Mead,
appeared before Judge c. E. Pond yes
terday and requested that owing to
Ames' exhausted condition his arraign-
ment be postponed until this morning
at 10 o'clock. The request was grant
ed.
Big Crowd Meets the Doctor.
A great crowd met the doctor at the
station on his arrival. The Rurling-
ton train which brought him in was
an hour late, but the crowd waited
Ihere was no demonstration. Sheriff
Doane was the first out of the train.
He assisted Mrs. Ames and the little
girl from the train and they were fol-
lowed by Dr. AmeS, leaning very heay-
| lily on a cane.
The fugitive gazed calmly at the
crowd, bowed gravely to several people
whom he recognized, and, entering a
nam, was uliNSII 10 the NlcOlleI mouse.
| The doctor wore a black suit and a
black fedora hat, later in the morning
DR.. Ames received several visitors,
among them DR.. ]. N. Clark, who was
city physician under the Ames admin
istration, Capt. E. w. Dudley, v. P.
Roberts and H. S. Meade and Frank
M. Nye, his attorneys.
DR.. Ames sureties on the defaulted
bond Of $4,000 are expected to make
an application for reinstatement of
the bond, which has been declared for
feited.
They have asked the sheriff and the
county authorities for an itemized
statement of the expense to which the
county has been subjected by reason
of the flight, apprehension and return
of the fugitive, and it is expected they
will ask to have the bond reinstated on
condition Of their meeting their ex-
pense.
There was precedent established In
the Norbeck case, when the bondsmen
were relieved of liability, after paying
all the expenses incident to the trial
and apprehension of the fugitive de-
tectiVe.
