GRAND JuR1Es ABOLISHED.
system of Indictment Ceased With Old
Year in Minnesota.

The grand jury system OF Indictment 1or
criminal offenses has been abolished by
vote of the electors of Minnesota, who have
adopted a constitutional amendment to this
effect.
The legislature of 1902 created an act to
amend the general laws, which had for it's
object the changing of law adopted in the
constitution and organic act of the state.
1t was in the nature of an amendment. and
was submitted to the electors at the cleo
ton on November s, and adopted by an
overwhelming vote
The effect of this amendment will be to
give the legislature the power to determine
the manner and form of charging persons
with the commission of criminal acts. AS
the constitution now reads the procedure by
which a person is held to answer for a
criminal offense is by presentment or in
dictment of grand jury, or by criminal
warrant issued by justice of the peace.
In place of such presentment or Indictment
of a grand jury, or warrant issued by a
justice of the peace, 1t is proposed to sub
stitute any procedure which the legislature
may deem due process of law.
In other words. the legislature will have
power to provide a criminal procedure In
conformity with the rights guaranteed by
the fundamental law, by which a person
shall be held to account for a criminal Of
Tense. Such procedure must conform with
the requirements of what is due process of
law under the Constitution of the United
States and that of the state of Minnesota

tying to her marriage to Al Mr.. Hall. She
followed him from town to town for some
months living with him a while at Parkers-
burg, and afterward at Fairmont, where
she alleges he announced from the pulpit
that he had married her to Mr.. Hall. She
passed his niece when she lived with
him. Part of the time she spent on his

he was the father of her baby, which lied
only about eleven weeks. and that he sent
her money to defray the funeral expenses.

NAN PATTERSON TO STAY IN JAIL,
District Attorney Will Not Accept Bail
ACTRESS to Be Retired.

Nan Patterson accused of the murder of
Caesar Young, will not be released on bail.
District Attorney Jerome declared Satur-
| day.
NO bail will be accepted for Nan Patter-
son. She must remain in the Tombs until
| a second trial can be arranged. / do not
know when she will again be placed on
trial.
The district attorney made this statement
when shown a dispatch from Wheeling, w.
Va, declaring that Col. Tom Deveny would
visit New York with $4,000 cash bail for
the Patterson girl.
Colonel Deveny, upon his arrival, intend
ed to consult with Nan Patterson's counsel
as to what steps he should take to deposit
the money in an effort to procure the girl S
release.
The telegram sent last week saying that
Colonel Deveny, Senator c. w. Swisher, Ed
ward Slack and H. ]. Price were prepared
to furnish any amount of bail was intended
as a Christmas joke.
Colonel Deveny, upon learning that MISS
Patterson was disappointed at this, de-
clared he would be party to no such joke,
and that if the other signers to the tele-
gram backed down he would furnish bail on
his own responsibility.
When this news was conveyed to Miss
Patterson by her lawyer, Abraham Levy.
she wept She had felt confident she would
be released on bail, and hoped she would be
allowed to return to her family.
Mans comment on the news was as fol-
lows:

not understand why, when people offer bail
for me as high as $4,000, Mr.. Jerome in
sists on prosecuting me by keeping me in
prison. What object would have in run

ture lies in New York, where l expect to

VICIOUS FRENCH DUEL.
Disputants Expert Swordsmen and
Both Wounded After Sharp Fight.

A Paris news agency publishes de-
scription of one of the most ferocious
duels ever known in Paris, which took
place Saturday. The duel which was dis
tinguished by display of Incompatible
swordsmanship, was fought between M.
Lusciez and Georges Breittmayer. M.
Sultzbacher was also present and ready
to engage NJ Breittmayer should the lat
ter be victorious The quarrel leading to
the affair was the outcome of a news
paper controversy. The conditions of the
duel were very stringent. One was that
the men should fight until one had been
killed or confessed defeat.
At the outset Breittmayer received an
ugly cut on the nose, from which he bled
profusely. This infatuated him, and he
made succession of terrifying thrusts,
but was further wounded in the sword
arm. his adversary's weapon penetrating
to the bone. Directly afterward Breitt-
mayer eluded his opponents guard and
Lusciez fell with blood yelling from his
right armpit. The thrust had caused a
bad wound.
M Lusciez endeavored in vain to con-
tinue the contest and was compelled to
confess himself beaten. The opponents
embraced each other and the trio left the
ground reconciled

THE EVER.NEEDED THREE.
QUARTER COAT.
Copyright, 1904, by r. F. Ayers.

Dolm2n-shaped wraps always have a GER
tain vogue because of their easness and
looseness of cut They slip readily over any
sleeve and make excellent evening coats for
not very formal occasions. In black they
have something the appearance of the old
Inverness coats worn by men with their
dress clothes. The wide bell sleeves of the
dolman coat here represented are of I'M
usual length and can be worn to cover the
hands or turned back to show the lining.
Rather 1t is the facing which is displayed
in this manner, for the coat itself has a
white satin lining, while down the fronts
and facing the sleeves is a broad piece of
