For Audience the prisoner claimed
that the shooting was an accident
and that it had been acknowledged
as such by the victim, and that the
arrest and the divorce suit were
the result of the Influence of the
wife's sister and brother who came
after hearing of the shooting. The
whole thing hinged on the veracity
of the witnesses, though in the
course OF the trial the negro got on
his knees before the jury and made
one of the most dramatic spectacles
in his affirmations of innocence that
was ever seen in a court room. The
trial caused great excitement, es-
pecially among the women who

them were as anxious to meet and
talk with him as they were to see

ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE
The people Of the whole state of
Minnesota, as well as those of St.
Paul, have suffered the loss of an
other valuable as we'll as estimable
citizen in the recent death of Hon.
Hiram F. Stevens. There is some
thing that might be termed fitting
in the calm, peaceful death of a man
feeble with age. whose life work
has been accomplished and who is
ready and waiting for the inevita-
BILE summons. It is fitting be-
cause natural and expected. The
recent deaths of Judge Flandreau
and Gen. Becker, land we might go
further and include Generals Long
street and Gordon, are apt illustra-
tions Of this sentiment. But the
death OF such man as Mr.. Stevens,
in the very prime of life and useful
ness, seems peculiarly sad. He
was but 81 years old, an age belong
ing to the period which we term
middle life. He was still youthful
in looks and appearance, buoyant in
spirit and full Of hope and ambition
for the future.
AS lawyer, his chosen profess
sion, Mr.. Stevens was hard, thor
ough student. But his studies
were not confined to the law; they
we're as varied as they were vast,
and they had already brought to
him the knowledge which maketh
the full man. There was no occa-
sion on which his versatile talents
did not cause him to shine. sWheth-
er arguing case before the high
est legal tribunal or addressing a
jury in behalf of a client, whether
speaking to a mammoth delegate
convention or. Legislature, wheth-
er on the stump during a political
campaign or at the festive banquet
table, his great fund of information
his natural gifts Of oratory and his
pleasing personality commanded
universal respect and admiration.
AS writer Mr.. Stevens was not
less distinguished. He was not
only clear, forceful and convincing,
but his delightful diction and cpl
grammatical style gave a rare liter
airy finish to all his illusions, AS
a teacher he had been so successful
as an instructor in the law depart
ment OF the state university that
when the St. Paul law school was
instituted he was the only man seri-
ously considered as it's dean. Add
to all his other qualities his innate
honesty and conscientiousness, and
his friendship for all classes, and
we have the secret of the popularity
which made him more sought after
as an officer or committeeman for
the different clubs or societies to
which he belonged than any other
man who ever lived in st. Paul. He
really belonged to nothing in which
he did not hold a position of the
highest responsibility.
1t may, or it may not be we'll
known that at the death of Sen. G.
K. Davis, the people who best knew
Hiram F. Stevens looked upon him
as the man best fitted, of all the
men in the state of Minnesota, to be
Sen. Davis successor. Mr.. Stev-
ems was not candidate for the po-
sition in the sense that he asked
anyone to support him, but those
who knew the man and his varied
talents looked over and beyond the

ers, more commonly called fortune
teller. His hair, which had the
kinks ironed our twice a week by a
professional hair dresser, hung in
wavy mass to bis shoulders, and
his appearance on the street,
wrapped in blue cape, topped out
with silk tile. and carrying gold
headed cane, was impressive if not
stunning. He claimed to have been
born in the orient and that while
his mother was South African ne-
gro, his father was Hindu NEGRO
mancer.
In October of last year a pretty
white girl of 20, with a fair educa-
ton and an abundance of feminine
curiosity went to king Soloman
to have her sslife read. = 1t must
have been case of love at first
sight for they were soon after
married. A short time afterward
the couple came to Minneapolis
where the kingly hindu opened a
swell Office and began to fool the
people at the rate Of two dollars a
fool. 1t was something delightfully."-
unique to have ones life Tread by
such distinguished looking indi-
vidual with such a distinguished
name, and the hindu prospered.
Soon the pretty young wife APP
peared at the Office of the county
attorney with two fingers shot off
and asked for a warrant for her
hindu husband, alleging that he
got mad at something while eating,
and shot her, as he had many times
threatened to do. It came out in
the trial that she had also applied
for a divorce, and that while the
shooting took place several weeks
before, she did not procure his ar
rest until the divorce proceedings
were begun.

Hanson admitted that he had filled the
