the bracket is believed to be the
cause.
DR.. G.. J. Habhegger was summoned
and the man was removed to St.
Mary's hospital where he was attend
ed to. 1t was found that he sustained
fracture of the right ankle and
received several scalp wounds. He
was also hurt in the side, but it is not
believed that serious internal injuries
resulted and although he will be laid
up for several weeks, nothing serious
is anticipated at this writing. 1t is
remarkable that he escaped without
more serious injury, as he might easily
have been killed by the falling coil
Another workman named John
Schaller was Jared by the falling
coil, but his condition was not seri-
ious and he was removed to his home.

Ane1t Donovan

The following letter from Judge
Grimm has been received by Dis
trict Attorney R. w. Lueck, and ex-
plains itself:
GAINESVILLE, Nov. 2, 1909.
r. w. Lueck, district attorney, and
Davies & Mulberger, assistants.
Gentlemen: I have just received a
copy Of the opinion of the supreme
court in the case of the state against
Donovan. 1t is exceedingly brief and
to the point that the verdict was
based upon the uncorroborated tes-
timony of Elsie Weichert, and under
the circumstances in this case cannot
be sustained. Unless therefore you
have other satisfactory evidence to
establish the defendants guilt there
is no possibility of convicting him;
and it is therefore but just that the
case be nolled and the defendant
discharged from custody He has
now been in prison a considerable
length of time and if in fact he is
not without guilt he has already suf-
fered at least part punishment
Further, from conversation with
Sheriff Shower, | am strongly of the
opinion that when liberated the de-
PENDANT will change his conduct as
he has already changed his habits.
If you are therefore of the same
opinion with me you may bring up
the matter at Jefferson county court
house next SATURDAY. at two O'Clock
in the afternoon, or at one o'clock in
case 1 can get away here in time
Kindly notify also the attorney for
the defendant in order that he may
be present if he desires.
Yours truly,
George Grimm,
Circuit Judge
