Alleged Go-setween Testiffes IN Ames
Case at Minneapolis.
Minneapolis, May 2-The trial Of
former Mayor Alonzo A. Ames, charged
with bribery, began in earnest during
the morning, the jury. having been
secured after four days of steady
work. County Attorney F. H. Board
man, in his opening address, declared
that the state would prove that Mayor
Ames had instituted a system of
graft" using as the go-between IT.
win A.. Gardner, a medical student In
his Office, whereby he collected "pro-
lection money" from keepers of re-
sorts outside of the recognized "red
light district" He explained that in
that district keepers of resorts paid
regular fines In the municipal court,
but outside of it there was a wide
field for graft.
After Mr.. Boardman's address Gard
ner himself was put on the stand and
told complete story of the manner in
which the money was ext0rted from
the women every two weeks; how he
had the aid of members of the police
force assigned by the mayor for that
purpose; how streetwalkers were
driven from the streets in order to
improve the "business," and how the
money thus obtained was distributed.
Gardner had previously been con-
victed of bribery but secured a new
trial from the supreme court and has
now decided to make a clean breast
Of the operations so far as he knew
them.

Norbeck corroborated Gardner's testi-

Lorain, O.. May 5.-The funeral Of
Miss Agatha Reichlin, murdered here
Friday morning at the parsonage of
st. Joseph's Catholic church, was
largely attended, the church being
packed to the doors.
The detectives are endeavoring to
verify reports to the effect that two
men were seen on the night of the
murder carrying ladder near the rear
of the parsonage. They have also in
vestigated report that the house Of
]. w. Spencer on Dexter street, three
blocks from the Reichlin home, was
visited by burglars on the night of the
murder, who were frightened away
after they had raised a window.
A report has also reached the 20
lice that burglars tried to enter the
house Of c. P. Bartz, two blocks from
the parsonage, on the night of the
murder.
Detective Kilbride of Cleveland
who is here working on the case, ex-
presses the belief that it will be in
possible to prove that Father Walser
committed the crime.
1t is generally believed that unless
additional evidence against the Rev.
Walser is obtained that he will be re-
leased when his preliminary hearing
takes place.

WILL NEVER BE FOUND.
Majority Of the Dead Bodies Buried
Under Piles Of Rock.

Majority OF the Dead Bodies Buried
Under Piles Of Rock.
Frank, N. w. T. May LIT is def
nitely known that fifty-six people lost
their lives here before daybreak
Wednesday by the sliding of the
rocky top of Turtle mountain down
upon the sleeping village of Frank.
Besides killing f1fty-six people, the
slide destroyed the plant Of the
Canadian-American Coal and Coke
company, did a vast amount Of dam
age to the mine and completely de-
vastated about ten square miles Of
the finest and most picturesque por-
ton of Crows Nest Pass.
1t is expected the majority of the
bodies of the dead will never be
found. Some cabins are buried un-
der $50 feet of rock. Although or
gained efforts were made Wednes-
day evening and Thursday to search
for bodies, only nineteen have been
found SO far. Most of the corpses
were mangled beyond recognition.
The disaster happened at O'Clock
In the morning, when the sleeping in
habitants of Frank were suddenly
awakened by tremendous crash, fol-
lowed by a shaking of the buildings.
It was still dark and for a time the
greatest confusion prevailed, no one
knowing just what had happened. AS
soon as day dawned it was seen that
the whole side of Turtle mountain
had fallen away and the valley for a
distance Of two miles was entirely
choked up by rocks and debris piled
to an average height of sixty feet.
Immense Fissure Opened.
simultaneously with the piling OF
the rocks on Turtle mountain, there
opened an immense assure of the
earth on the northern side Of Turtle
mountain. This assure extended for
a distance Of three-quarters Of mile
and was many feet in width.
This chasm still remains open, &C.
cording to reports brought in by
men who have been on the other side
of Turtle mountain. In the downward
rush of the debris the entire operat-
ing plant of the French-Canadian Coal
company was carried away. Seven
houses owned by the company were
smashed into kindling, six Of them
being obliterated and their occu-
pants killed, while ten houses, which
were situated in the valley east of
the town, were demolished. The
people living in these houses were
killed as they slept. The direct
monetary damage will exceed $780,
900.
OF the many beautiful homes, fer.
tile farms and fourishing ranches
there is now nothing but ruin and
desOlatiOn and the valley now has all
the appearance of a volcano.
Pieces Of rock are still falling from
the strangely: altered top Of Turtle
mountain. These rocks are in many
cases huge masses weighing hundreds
of tons and as they fell crashing
down with noise like thunder they
start other particles Of rock in the
path, which rush down, bearing de-
struction. For that reason it is ex-
tremely5 dangerous to approach the
vicinity Of Turtle mountain to make
an investigation into the exact cause
Of the catastrophe.

The state rested it's case at II q.

Furthermore the defense will, dur

close of the Civil war disease has I'M

During the progress of Mr.. Erwin's

He admitted that he had heard rumors

Under cross-examination Ames was

answers. He became confused in his
answers to questions and seemed in

cheeks were flushed and his eyes
shone brilliantly. Ames declared that
he had never received any notice to
return from his bOndsmen or anyone
else, but he had received notice from
attorneys representing the bondsmen
asking for money, but he felt that his
property holdings in Minneapolis
amply protected the bondsmen.
