FR0WNDN PETITION.
JUDGES DECLARE SUCH ACTION
CONTEMPT OF COURT.
Application of Mrs. Grace Ledbeter
for Bail Is Argued Today; A. R.
Pfau, Jr., Makes an Appeal for
the Defendant and w. R. Geddes
Represented the State; Arguments
Based on Transcript of Evidence.
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
The arguments on the application OF
Mrs. Grace Ledbeter to be admitted to
bail were submitted this forenoon The
case was heard by Judge James H
Quinn of Fairmont, at the request OF
Judge Pau. Judge Pau had intend
ed to ask Judge Quinn merely to sit
in the case with him, but owing to
the presentation of petition asking that
Mrs. Ledbeter be not admitted to bail
he concluded to turn entire matter
over to Judge Quinn.
A. r. Pau addressed the court for
more than an hour in support Of Mrs
Ledbeter's motion, and was answered
by Judge Geddes at length and by
C. L. Benedict briefly.
Mr. Pau, in the course of his re.
marks, spoke of the filing of the petit
tions, and thought that this was not
proper. Judge Geddes, in opening his
remarks, thought that the right OF
petition was secure to every American
citizen, and that it was proper.
NO Right to Petition Court.
Judge Quinn held that citizens had
no right to petition the courts, and
expressed his regret that any had been
presented, and hoped that it would
never occur again in Minnesota. He
held that it was an act of contempt
of court on the part of all signing
or having anything to do with the
| petitions.
[ Judge Pau does not 60 as far as
/, Judge Quinn does, but says that it is
contempt of court for any court officer
to have hand in the petitions. Coun
ty Attorney Plymat this afternoon de
MED to Judge Pau any knowledge as
to how the petitions started. He said
that Judge Geddes had received the
Medo petition this forenoon, but that
they had Immediately consigned it t.
the waste basket.
Basis of Arguments.
The arguments of the attorneys or
the application for admission to bal
were largely based upon the transcript
of the evidence taken at the prelim
mary hearing in the municipal court
Mrs. Ledbeter's attorneys held that the
presumption of guilt was not great MOI
the proof evident, and tried to tear ur
Smiths testimony.
The state held that it was not the
province of the court to Inquire as tc
the credibility of the witnesses, but
to consider the evidence that was be-
fore it and act upon it. The states
evidence was strong.
The case was submitted Just before
noon, and Judge Quinn announced that
he would reserve his decision. He will
take the transcript of the evidence
home with him, and decision may not
be filed for several days. He remanded
Mrs. Ledbeter to the custody of the
sheriff.
This afternoon Judge Pau took
Judge Quinn out to his Lake Washing
ton cottage with him, and to be his
guest.

From Tuesdays Daily
While at Delavan, Wis.,, last week
Sheriff Donahue learned much about the
transaction whereby H. j. Ledbeter
bought the stock of goods that re-
suited in the loss to him of several
dollars. The stock was sold at $500
and William Schuandt shipped So
200 stock to Winthrop MINI. The ques-
ton arose as to what had become of
the balance of $500 The deal, where
by Mr.. Ledbeter traded land for the
stock was made through A. H. Schroe-
der of this city, and William Schwandt
was at Delavan representing Mr.. Led.

History of the Transaction.
Mr.. Schroeder was asked by The
Free Press today, as to what became
of the balance of $3,lOO that the state
was unable to account for Mr.. Schroe-
der gave a history of the transaction
as follows:
H. j. Ledbeter had 440 acres of land
that he wished to trade for a stocE
of goods, and Mr. Schroeder found a
stock valued at $500 and owned bv
Bradley G. Co., at Deavan Wis, They
were willing to trade for land. and a
deal was made whereby Mr. Ledbeter
turned his land in at $3.50 an acre, of
S., 800. Mr.. Schroeder had 400 acres
nf Id ~
an acre, but it was incumbered for So
an acre, so his equity was $1,000. Mr.
Ledbeter paid Mr.. Schroeder fifty cents
an acre for making the deal for him
or 1920 and as he did not have the
ready cash lie told Mr. Schroeder to
take it in goods when the division
was made. This was done.
Returned Cash to Ledbeter.
Mr.. Schwandt acted for Ledbeter
when the division of the stock was
made and seemed to be getting as
good deal as possible for Mr.. Led
better. Both came out about even T.
the quality of goods selected. Mr.
Schroeder took his $1,000 worth of
goods, and his commission of 1920
in goods, making a total of 5000, but
by mistake took 1925 worth more
and returned this to Mr.. Ledbeter later
in cash. He shipped his goods to Man
kato and then turned them in where
ever he could. Schwandt shipped NJ
Ledbeter's goods to Winthrop and open
ed a store, but Mr. Schroeder knows
nothing of what was done by Schwandt
after leaving Delavan. He had met
Schwandt but a few days before the
deal was made and they were strang
ers. Schwandt then expected shortly
to become Mr.. Ledbeter's brother in law
and seemed to be acting his agent in
good faith.
Ready to Show His Part.
The deeds for the land that was
traded for the stock of goods were made
out to w. +. Tyler. Mr.. Schroeder
states that the stock of goods was a
good one. He states that there are
no reasons for any insinuations that
another party would or might be
brought into the dragnet of the law
As for his own part, he has beer
willing to show it up at any time
