ST.. James. Mimi, April 9-Mr. Eek
stein, continuing his plea in the Tanke
murder trial from yesterday afternoon,
an arraignment of the methods of the
state in conducting it's case. He charac-
teriZed them as unfair.
Detective Coleman was the target for
Mr.. Eckstein's scathing remarks. Refer
ring to- the revolver found in. the river,
ne said In his opinion the gun was found
in. an old junk shop in Minneapolis,
planted in the river and discovered in time
for the trial at, st. Peter.
Judge Lorin Cray charged the Jury to
find a verdict of murder in the first or
second degree. The case went to the Jury

Mr.. Davis closed his plea at 1920 YES
terday afternoon. Towards the close he
made reference to the part Detective
Coleman of Minneapolis had played in the
case The states case did not depend
on the finding of the revolver in the Min
nesota river, he said. 1t was merely one
of the circumstances in the case. Re-
plying to the insinuations cast by the
defense on Coleman's reputation, he said
the defense had failed to show wherein
his testimony could be impea ched. He
would sooner believe Coleman's story as
10 Tie CONCESSION overheard 1ni the barn
than the denial Of the same by Tanke,
who had been contradicted by forty or
more witnesses. =. - 80: =.
Referring to the alleged Entertainment of
Mrs. Tanke by her former husband he
said: "@''You can't go to Lafayette Nicol-
let county. and tell the people there that
John Wellner was the kind of a man his
wife says he was She fooled her neigh
bors with her robber story for a. while
and now she is trying to fool this jury
and save Frank Tanke." - = -..t,~
Ecksten's ReJonder. ~,... 49,.
Joseph A. Eckstein Of New Ulm made
the closing argument for the defense. He
began by saying that witnesses had shown
Frank Tanke to be an Industrious man;
that there was nothing unusual in his re-
manning at the Wellner farm, because he
wanted employment for the winter He
said the state had failed to show any great
discrepancies in Tanke's statements to
Block. He designated the states method
Of trying its case as one of theories.
Block, he said, did not want to fail in
his attempt to place the guilt, but he
never thought he had sufficient evidence
to warrant an arrest. -.
!, Then Coleman came along, he said, and
took charge of the case. The. state, he
insinuated went to work on the theory
that it must obtain confessions.
.'Take out the CONCESSIONS he said

against Frank Tanke.'' --... ~. - -

Hendrix Process.

The Atlas company, operating in the
Buffalo Hump country, has had some
ore tested by the Hendryx process at
Spokane. George Crane, manager Of
the Atlas. says: The ore, which as
says S4715. ran high in silver and
was not best suited TO the Hendryx
system. We recovered Salsa with
amalgamation and concentration and
the Henuryx treatment OF the tail
ings.
That gave a silver extraction Of "a
per cent and a gold extraction of 96.3
per cent. or a total Of Sc per cent. Ex-
periments made by C. NJ. Fassett with
the same ore, using amalgamation,
concentration and cyaniding by the
usual methods, gave a higher extrac-
ton in silver and less In gold. or a
total of 80 per cent. Because of the
higher gold recovery in the Hendryx
treatment we expect to install Hen
dryX mill in connection with an ANAL
gamat.ng and cyaniding plant We
shall not put in the mill, however, un-
I'll we open larger reserves.
