MORTGAGE SET ASIDE
Court Finds Siqnature Was
Forged and Plaintiff Wins

Judge Orr. in decision fled yester-
day, set aside the mortgage which was
the subject of litigation between
Frances WinterhaIter and c. E. Bar
nard and others, on the ground that the
mortgage was a pure forgery. The
court finds fhat the mortgage was not
signed by the plaintiff, but that the sig
nature was forged, and the Judgment
is that the mortgage be set aside, an
nulled and vacated, the plaintiff being
given judgment for costs in the case.
The court says the mortgage is a
fraud on both the plaintiff and the de-
PENDANT. since it does not appear that
any of the parties to the suit knew
anything of the fraud.
The court says it appears from the
record that Joseph w. Winterhalter
apparently induced and procured the
execution of, the mortgage, and that
he was guilty of the commission of tbs
fraud. The property which was fraud
ulently mortgaged is located in Des-
noyer park, the, mortgage being made
in May, 1900, The mortgage originally
ran to the defendant, C. E. Barnard,
but was assigned by him to Joseph
Hoskns, who. in turn, assigned it to
F. H. Barnard.
The plaintiff, who lives in the East,
only recently learned of the mortgage,
and brought suit to have it.set aside.

GAS NEARLY FATAL
Emma Hogan Found UncOn-
scious-She Turned 1t Off

Through earelessness in turning out
jet, Miss Emma Hogan. aged twenty
five, came near losing her life Tues
day night at the Reardon hotel, Sew
enth and Minnesota streets.
Miss Hogan formerly lived at Morris.
MINI. Intending to seek work yester-
day as a domestic, she went to the
Reardon hotel Tuesday evening and
engaged Room At for one night. The
clerk who showed her the room at 8
o'clock said that she lighted the gas
herself and asked no questions. She
was in good spirits. She carried a par
eel of dress goods that she had bought
during the afternoon. About 10 o'clock
she extinguished the light in her room.
Soon after 10 o'clock yesterday
morning chambermaid, trying to en-
ter Room AZ, found the door locked
and noticed the odor or gas. She
knocked but received no answer Then
she called for help. summoning Charles
O'Connor, who has an Office in the
building. Mr.. O'Connor climbed up to
the transom, saw a woman apparently
sound asleep in bed, and encountered a
sitting flow of gas through the half
open transom. He forced the door and
tried to arouse Miss Hogan. After the
one window, open on crack, had
been raised and the air freshened, the
sleeping girl began to groan.
She was still unconscious when DR..
G. B. Moore, the police surgeon ar
rived. He took her in the police am
bulance to the city hospital. There his
treatment so far succeeded that, within
an hour she was able to speak. Last
evening she was still at the hospital,
but quite out of danger.
She explained that she turned the
gas off fully, as she thought. She
hadn't the least intention of endanger-
ing her own life.
The clerk at the Reardon said yes
ter6ay afternoon that he had examined
the gas jet and had found it defective.
Miss Hogan might have turned it on
again, he thought, trying to turn it
completely off.

Judge Lochren, of the United States
court held against the contention, and
Ortiz was compelled to serve his time
out.
After his conviction and the commu-
tat1on of his sentence, Ortiz was start

was being measured in New York he
believed the time had come for his
death.
He Expected Death
When placed in a chair for the Ber-
tillen measurement, he jumped from
the chair and dropping on his knees
begged that his life might be saved,
declaring that he was innocent of the
crime for which be was charged. To
pacify him he was told that he was
not to be put to death until he reached
the Minnesota prison, and for many
days after his arrival at the prison he
was momentarily in dread of being put
to DEATH @ ff
Ortiz. who was nineteen years old
when convicted, has always maintain

that he was convicted upon circum-

WON'T HIRE COACH
FOR FOOTBALL TEAM
School Board Turns Down Suggestion
Of Principal Robinson

The. board of school inspectors did
not take kindly at the session yes
terday to the suggestion Of DR.. E. v
Robinson, principal of the Central
high school, that $200 a year be APP
propFiated for the salary of a "directol
of athletics" which means, when in
terpreted, a coach for the high school
football team.
In letter to the board DR.. Robin
son suggested that it had proved very
unsatisfactory to depend upon volun-
tary coach work, and that he believed
that the amount mentioned would be
sufficient to command the services of a
good man. The recommendation was
considered in executive session, and al
the open meeting of the board was not
mentioned specifically. being refused
along with several other minor Sug-
gestions by DR. Robinson.
The recommendation of DIR. Robin
son that the Central high school be al
lowed two additional teachers was
acted upon favorably, and the In
structors will be named some time in
the future.
