STAND ANOTHER TRIAL

Minneapolis, Mimi. Sept. 15.-Judge
Harrison today denied the motion made
by County Attorney Boardman to noll
the ten indictments standing against
Former Mayor A. A. Ames for bribery
and corruption. The court handed
down a memorandum in which it was
pointed out that Ames had once been
convicted; that the reversal by the su-

not affecting the merits of the case.
