The gas committee Of the city coun.
Gil. which has had to do with the mat.
ter Of returning the bills for city light.
ing to the Minneapolis Electric COM
pany to conform with the provisions
of the Walker ordinance, has sighted
another obstacle in the distance. They
may lose the use of some $4,000 if the
present course is continued. The bills
for three months for street lighting
have not been paid, aggregating the
sum Of $24,15O. If the present course
Of returning the bills to the company
is pursued until Jan. /, the aggregate
would amount to something like $50
900. 1t dawned on the members Of the
committee Wednesday afternoon that
if this amount had not been paid and
it was still in the treasury the first of
the year, it would be diverted to the
general fund and they would lose the
of
an unanimous vote to take the bills OF
the electric company and correct them
in conformity with the Walker ordi-
nance and tender the corrected amount
for payments for lighting during the
months of June. July and August. The
reduction will amount to about 1928
per cent.
William F. Bechtel. convicted of
grand larceny. and sentenced to five
years penal servitude in states prison.
has been granted a new trial by Judge
Dickinson, on account solely of the
misconduct Of court pailiff. Imn1e-
diately upon it's being announced from
the bench. John F. Dahl. assistant
county attorney. speaking for the Office,
moved to nolle the indictment and free
the accused. on the ground that he
could not secure the evidence to con-
Wet again. Il cannot entertain suci,
a motion" said Judge Dickinson. "as
you will see by memorandum attach.
ed to the order. The case may be or
dered on the calendar and Judge Smith,
who has charge Of the criminal calen-
dar, will set the case" For the mo-
ment jubilant countenances had been
shown by Mr.. Bechtel and his counsel,
when nolle was moved. But they
finally filed into Judge Smiths court
room, where the case was set for trial
Sept. 1s, after two other cases against
the same defendant for bribery had
been continued over the term. The
new trial secured for the defendant
arose solely from hint dropped by a
juror in the Dearth case, where there
was mistrial because a Juror died at
the close of the case. one Of the jurors
came to John Lind. attorney for Dearth,
and informed him that If the case
was tried again it would be we'll to
have another court bailiff have charge
Of the jury. This led to an investiga-
ton in the Bechtel case, and it devel-
oped that jurors swore that Officer
Hillyer had talked Of the case with
them. Judge Dickinson's short men,
orandum explains fully the situation
and the impossibility Of any other con-
clusion
