The defense in the trial Of former
Mayor Ames in Minneapolis is plan
ming an attack upon one of the states
star witnesses which they expect will
go far toward discrediting his testi-
mOny.
The witness is Thomas r. Brown
Jr, secretary to the genial doctor
while he was mayor of Minneapolis,
and whose testimony, given on the
stand yesterday, is regarded as highly
important.
Attorneys for the defense claim they
expect to be able to prove that Brown
is a forger; that his first forgery was
committed about five years ago, when
he would have been prosecuted had it
not been for the intervention of friends
who redeemed the forged checks; and
that he repcoted the offense later.
The second forgery, they say, was of
check for $35, and has never been
paid. The check itself is in the hands
of detectives, and the facts will be
brought out fully in the trial.
The man to whom the check was
given, they claim, will be sworn, and
will testify to the facts as stated above.
He will also testify that County At
torney BOardman refused to issue a
warrant for the arrest of Brown on
the charge named, even after the facts
had been laid before him; and will
swear that the first forged check was
paid by W. E. Frisbie, city editor of
the Minneapolis Journal, on which
Brown was employed at the time as
police reporter. Furthermore, he will
testify that Brown tainted him with
his inability to secure a warrant
against him, and that he declared the
matter had been fixed"
Gardner on the Stand.
q cannot tell exactly how much
graft money I paid over directly to
DR.. Ames,' said Irwin A. Gardner, on
the stand in the Ames trial yesterday,
but" continued the witness, "it was

This testimony County Attorney
BOardman evoked on cross -examina-
tion, after the defense had paved the
way for its introduction.
Gardner made a good witness for the
state, despite the utmost efforts of the
attorneys for the defense to entrap
him into contradictions. He never
wavered in his story, and in his fire.

LA CROSSE, Wis. May "a pro-
tracted fight over the $4,000 estate
of Henry Schaeffermeyer, an old miser,
who died year ago, has been settled
out of court after eight months of
litigation. Mrs. Hahn, a sister of
Schaeffermeyer, was given large
farm in La Crosse county and Mrs.
Bothenfelt, another relative, was given
all the other property.
1t is said, in connection with the
estate, that something over $4,000 is
concealed on the farm which has been
given to Mrs. Hahn. Though the farm
is a small portion of the estate, the
sister was willing to take it, and it is
the opinion that she is aware of the
hiding place of the alleged fortune.
