DEFENSE
n TO HAVE AN INNING

The states case is now practically
complete against Edward O.. Fellows,
the former Minneapolis coal baron, now
on trial before Judge John Day Smith
for the conversion Of F. H. Peavey g.
Co.'S funds. Proof has been offered
tending to show that Fellows was an
agent of the Peavey company, and that
he received $4,000, which he did not
turn over to the company, but convert
ed, to his own use. %~ys
The defense will now have It's inning
and Attorneys Clark and Swenson will
endeavor to show, first, that Fellows
was conducting an independent. business
under the name Of the E. O. Fellows
Coal company, and that the contract he
had with the Peavey company was
merely "a credit arrangement and that
there was no agency, and therefore no
criminal liability; second, that if he
was an. agent or bai1ee Of the complain
ing company, Fellows interchanged his
funds with theirs and If he converted
the money to his own use he did SO un-
der bill of rights and without felon-
ious intent. They will also introduce
evidence tending to show that the
Peavey company charged Fellows al
legged usuriOus interest on the value of
their coal, and will argue that, if this
be true, the defendant cannot be con-
victed. ,55r + 9.~# ...s u 4
