The second trial Of the suit of G. A.
for alleged SANDER produced sensa-
ton of first quality today.
The hearing, begun Monday after
noon before Judge ii. D. Dickinson, in
the district court, had been hieserto a
repetitiCh OF the first, with it's stories
Of aldermanic deeds and deals and al
legged slanderous discussion thereof.
But the original story was vague.
Today the plaintiff spoke out pointed
ly, giving for the first time former Al
derman O. P. Sutherland Is testimony Of
the juggling with. corporation funds
with the end in view Of getting what
was wanted from the city council. DR..
Sutherland is sojourning somewhere in
the tropics, and has been for some
time. When DR.. Sutherland left Min
neapolis 1t was thought that the true
inwardness Of the council misdeeds
would never be made public. It is a
notable fact that the testimony Of Mr..
Quist on this point, involving, as it
does, Mr.. Kiichli, was brought out by
questions Of Mr.. Kiichli's attorney,
Colonel W. 3: Dodge, who appeared nom
plussed by the answers Of the witness.
Qufst claims that ,Kiichli told Mike
Preslauers and John Ryan that Quist
had come to him when Quist, as fore
man OF the grand jury, was investi-
eating certain alleged municipal steals,
from the boys if he wanted to have the
investigation stopped.
The defendant admits that he made
practically the statements alleged, but
AYERS that they were the truth and not
slanderous.

Duluth, Mimi, April 1s.-Much ex-

little trouble.
Last evening the strikers went to

there was pulled off. There was no dis

and no trouble was made
The AgneW mine is working also In
spite of threats that were made that
work would be stopped there today.
There was more excitement over the
possibility Of trouble at the Agnew
this morning than over anything else.
At that mine. preparations were made
to meet any force that should be used
and an armed guard was reported to
be on hand to keep the trouble-makers
off. The strikers did not appear, how
ever, and work progressed as usual.
The Burt mine is working as usual
and cars were run in this morning to
get ore.
Efforts to organize the men have
failed thus far. The Italians and
Austrians want to organize, but the

VIOLENT BREAK IN PRICE
Northern Securities Slump Awaken
Fears Of Disappointment.
Rnecial .to The journal,

Special TO The journal.
New York, April 1s.-There was a
sharp break in Northern Securities this
morning. In the first four minutes of
trading on the curb it fell from l8l to
176 Two minutes later it was offered
at 169--a drop Of twelve points. Nearly
every broker seemed to have selling
orders.
The Northern Securities books close
at g. o'clock this afternoon.
The stock went down to 165-a loss
of 16 points-in the first quarter of an
hour, when buying orders came in and
it returned to 1853. A further gain
was made to l76. Union Pacific sold
down to 1917 in the first quarter hour
"a loss of "a points from yesterdays
closing.
The best explanation offered for the
wild movement was that Of several trad
ers who get good profit in Northern
Securities. They declared that as this
was the last day of trading in the stock,
it would be wise to realize instead of
trusting to fortune with Great Northern
and Northern Pacific to be given in ex-
change. for these stocks may not find
any market at the high prices which
they have attained.

His Attorney Creates a, Sensation

Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
George Palmer murder; case ap is With With the he
: It was 1920 this forenoon when
court reconvened. Frank White, coun-
ty attorney, spoke for the state, con-
tending that the testimony showed
that the defendant was equally guilty
with Crawford. 1t was Palmer, he said,
who did the robbing, even 'rifiing the
body Of the dead Lundeen. Palmer,
had been represented. He had had
trouble with his father and was wild
and reckless.
w. H. Place of Minneapolis followed
in a long and eloquent appeal for
mercy for his client. By the use Of a
skull exhibited upon a table he at
tempted to show that the shot which
killed -Lundeen could not have been
| fred in the manner sworn to by the
| eyewitnesses. He used q chart of a car
also, to show that the states men had
lied upon the stand. Later on he went
after, the witnesses roughshod, calling
them periurers, and asserting that
Crawford's life had been sworn away,
and that they were trying to do as
much with Palmer s..
Mr.. Place appealed to the jury for
defendant and the gray-haired veteran
father and the old mother in the Iowa
home. The holdup, he declared, was not
| premeditated and there was no intent
to kill. 49,
Witnesses for the state took emphatic
exceptions to the remarks Of the at
torney and one Of them, at least, is
I known to have threatened him since
with personal violence.
The charge Of Judge Giddings was
made when court reconvened at 2:15
this afternoon. The last Of the evi
dence was taken last night, Crawford
fatty refusing to go on the stand.
If Palmer is found guilty boths Of the
defendants. will be sentenced at once.
