with young Pierce for assault upon

driving out of Lamberton one even

easy. A. r. M. Emerson of Clague
& Emerson represented Raddatz at
the wind up Of the matter.
And the next day it showed.
Tuesday, Nov. 9Th, election day,
was an ideal day. The sun shone
beautifully all day and the tempera-
ture was mild. At one clock We'd
nesday morning the sky was cloud
ed and it commenced to rain. The
rain continued drilling until 10 or
II o'clock that morning, when it
changed to snow. This continued
until late that night, when the cold
weather frightened up and the snow
ceased. Thursday morning had a
genuine wintry appearance.
Attorney E. S. Cary of St. Paul,
who defended DR.. Ames OF Minneap-
oils in the last three trials OF the
former mayor of Minneapolis, was
among the lawyers in attendance at
the November term of court last
week, and during his stay here Mr..
Cary entertained number Of friends
with some of the incidents in con-
nection with securing Jurors and in
bringing out the evidence under the
indictments. He was Of the opinion
that sentiment in Hennepin county
was SO strongly against the doctor
that in not single case was he Civ
en- fair and impartial jury. Many
enemies Of the doctor, he said, sim
ply tried their hardest to get on the
panel, and it was most difficult work
to get them off, he having to exhaust
all of his peremptory challenges and
then taking such jurors as the triers
afterwards admitted. On the last
trial, he contends, all kinds of evi-
dence was admitted, and the su-
preme court would have had to re-
verse the trial court, in case con-
viction was secured. The papers
announced that only one juror held
out for acquittal, when as matter
OF fact four Of them we're on the ac-
quittal side. He does not hold the
doctor as entirely blameless In many
OF the incidents that came up for
public criticism, but he says that
most of the criminal acts were done
by subordinates Withoutthe doctor 5
knowledge, and for the purpose Of
s'feathering their own nests. Mr..
Cary made good reputation in de-
Tending the ex-mayor, and can afford
to rest easy on his laurels Of having
SO frequently hung the jury.
