STRAIT CASE
GOES TO TRIAL
SUPREME COURT sUsTAINs RE.
FUsAL TO QUAsH.
Scott County Bankers Must Stand Trial
for Receiving Deposits When the
Bank Was Insolvent- Court Holds
Testimony Was Properly Taken by
Grand Jury.

The supreme court today sustained
orders of the Scott county court deny
ing motions to quash indictments
against II. Burton Strait and Henry
Schreiner, accused of accepting de-
posits in the Scott County bank after
it had become insolvent. E.a.
The syllabus, by Justice Lovely, is as
follows:
Sin criminal prosecution against a
private banker for receiving deposits
when his bank was insolvent where
such banker had made an assignment
in bankruptcy and his books had been
turned over1 to the trustee, held that
such trustee with the books might be
examined before the grand jury upon
an investigation of the affairs. Of the
bank and that such examination did
not involve any unlawful use of his
private papers in violation of his con-
stitutional rights.
cit is within the sound discretion OF
the trial court to excuse members OF
a grand jury from sitting in the hear
ing of a matter being considered by
that body where in it's Judgment such
juror would not be impartial and asks
to be excused, altho not challenged by
the accused.'
In the case Of Cyrus Weber, respond
ent, against J. A. Axtell ct al, appel
lants, the order was affirmed, Justices
Lovely and Lewis dissenting.

a legal separation from him some thir-

Miss Nellie K Kennedy, at that time
10 years oil age. Thru the mother MI.
Gordon became acquainted with the
daughter, and nothing daunted by his
experiences, he made his third matri
monial experiment. The marriage took
place in Chicago, July l6, 1892.
: The accusation made by his wife has
aroused Mr.. Gordon s old fighting spirit
and he has bid defiance to Mrs. Cor

and PROMISES to expose what he calls
their Ninfamous and atrocious lies.

ANOTHER RECORD
FOR MINNEAPOLIS
PASSES NEW YORK IN oNE-DAY
SALE OF TICKETS.
Gustave Schlotterbeck Enthusiastic
Over the Outlook for Successful
Season of Grand Opera-saysl Artists
Will Be at Their Best Next Week
Pleased with the Auditorium.

Minneapolis has broken the American
record for one-day sale OF tickets.
This is one reason why Gustave Schlot-
terbeck of the. Conried company is the
most enthusiastic man in Minneapolis
today. The transformation has worked
such wonders that his friends back on
Manhattan island would fail to recog-
nize in him the usually calm, self-con-
tanned man who left New York recent
y, on one Of the most tremendous
musical ventures ever attempted.
He is enthusiastic over the magnifi-
cent outlook for the grand opera sea-
son here next week, due to the cordial
reception to be given his company,
which will prove an incentive to the
artists to do their best, and over the
possibilities of the Auditorium. =
''Mr. Conried, Ernest Goerlitz, the
general business manager, and myself
are delighted over Minneapolis, said
Mr.. SchIotterbeck this morning. "Not
only in the response of the people, but
in the musical atmosphere, and You
may say for ME that every one of the
artists is coming here at the highest
what such audiences mean to them. Mr.
Goerlitz was absolutely paralyzed to
learn that the houses were practically
sold out. $1,000
Best for Minneapolis.
''You may say for me what you can
to sweep away any suspicion that the
company is giving a second-grade per
formance since it has left the Metropoli.
tan operahouse in New York. Every
performance on the tour has been as ad-
vertised, without substitution for the
cast, and we expect to give in Mime
give. Caruso, Eremstad and the other
members of the company will reach Min:
(neapolis Saturday night to get rested

With expressions OF astonlshment OF
the part of Mr.. Schlotterbeck over Min
| neapolis conditions were mingled some
| words of satisfaction because Of the
| justification of his own venture in hold
ing to his original purpose to give the
opening in the Auditorium, notwith
standing that an absolute contract as t(
date could not be secured until very
! late.

The Minneapolis record of ticket sale:
amounting to 81 800 for single DAY.
was q wonder as well as a pleasure t.
Mr.. Schlotterbeck. He said he coul(
not understand how one man could taxi
in that amount unless he threw thu
money on the floor. The New York ma!

Gus record of $4,000 was made, wa
