you have cause TO believe that an of
Tense has been committed which is
triable in the county. you should de-
clare it to your fellow Jurors, and
then the jury should call in all wit
ncsses who know about such matters
and then you should COMPEL such wit
nesses to disclose what they may know
about such matters"
Just before sending the Jury out
Judge Quinn filed the appointment OF
Harrison l.. Schmitt as assistant coun-
ty attorney, to assist County Attorney
Plymat. Judge Quinn said that Mr.
Plymat had requested that this APP
pointment be made, and when Mr.
Schmitt should be sworn into the posi-
ton he would have the same right to
appear before the grand jury as the
county attorney does. Assistant Attor-
ncy General Peterson would also as
sist the county attorney and could be
in attendance on the jury.
The jury then retired and began the
examination of witnesses.

CARD FROM MR.. DENISON.

To The Free Press: So much dis
approval has been manifested. and 50
many slurs and insinuations have been
cast at the Judge and jury in the re-
cent Lcdbctcr case. that | deem ii nv
privilege and duty as juror in that
case, to define my position.
because no one has come out and made
ANY definite charge.
I'm the first place | wish the people
IT Blue Earth county would bear in
mind, that it cost the county approx
| natcly fifteen hundred dollars Isl 500
20 secure a jury who could and would
ry the case according to the law and
the evidence alone. and that we cave
our oath to do that very thing

'.cdbetcr | have not expressed myself
except so far as the verdict showed.
If had been certain in my own
mind that Mrs. Ledbctcr was guilty.
but the evidence did not show it. |
would have voted TO acquit her.
If it is the wish of the people o.:
this county to have persons convicted
on public opinion and on stories, some
|of which originated in the minds Of
imaginative persons, which were not
in evidence before the jury, then [
hope l may never be called upon again

would not take into consideration the
|innumerable rumors which are in cir
|cnlation and also the so-caled confess
sion OF Frank Lavendoski. but would
|confine themselves solely to the evil
ldence, | cannot see how any fair
minded person could censurc the Jury
for doing as they did.
[ do not wish to 90 into detail Of
this horrible affair or argue the case
here. but suffice it to say, | con
sidercd the evidence entirely made
quate to convict.
If anything has been done by anyone
connected with this case of a criminal
nature to Illustrate the ends of Jus.
tice then il is the duty of the county
attorney and of every law abiding
citizen to do all in their power to see
that whoever may be guilty of such
an offcnse is made to suffer for if
and want TO say right here. that |
am heartily in favor of a thorough
investigation of this matter, and [
want to say further that if there is
anything that | have said or done in
connection with this case which needs
any explanation, whoever desires such
explanation need only apply to me and
it will be freely given.
If Mrs. Ledhetcr has had a fair trial
and everything has gone according to
law, then it is our duty as citizens to
consider her innocent of this. charge.
If she is guilty of any other crime.

Courts Duty to Give Instructions.
| Judge. Quinn said that it was the
duty of the court to give instructions,
and it was the duty OF the court TO
tadhere at all times to the Instructions

transacted at any time unless sixteen
members were present. The court read
the different sections Of the statutes
relating to the work of the grand
iiury, and explained each in such way
as to try to, make the duty of the
Jury clear. The grand jury was to in
Iquire into public offenses. No other
evidence than that, given by witnesses
or. legal documentary evidence. These
witnesses must be produced and sworn
before the jury.
No Right to Consider Rumors.-

was reason to believe that charges

should summon such witnesses as

Not Much SEEMING of Late.

Not much seining has been done at
the lakes recently. Seeing Bros, who
are working at Lake Washington, have
received new fortyfoot seine for
deep water fishing, but tore it ycster-
day. They hope to locate the fish in
the deep holes. There has been nothing
doing at Lake Madison lately.

What a Woman Will Not Do.

There is nothing a woman would not
do to regain her lost beauty. She
ought to be fully as jealous in pre-
serving her good looks. The herb
drink called Lanes Family Medicine or
Lanes Tea is the most efficient aid
in preserving beautiful skin, and will
do more than anything else to restore
the roses to faded checks. At all drug
gists' and dealers, % cents.

crime Dawson, by Rev. Father Pur-
cell, at the Catholic church. After

val and relatives and intimate
friends partook Of dainty wedding
breakfast at the home of the brides
brother near the Blackwell mill, af-
ter which they departed on a wedding
trip to the coast, where they will
visit until next week.
Mr. Kercheval Is member OF
the business firm Of Fudge & Kerche-

CULTIVATE BEAUTY.

Whatever there is of .ugliness ON
earth is provided by man. He makes
and allows the accumulation of nth
and pollutes the streams whose waters
should flow clear and pure. 1t is man
whose commercial instinct and indff-
ference and selfishness create those
things which offend the physical idea
OF beauty and permit those things
that are detrimental to the health and
morals of community. The impor-
lance of the rapidly-growing crusade
against ugliness in municipalities
cannot be overestimated. It does
not deal with architectural incongrui-
ties' though they would be practical
~ impossible in a community proper-
ly educated along the lines OF the
new observation-disclosures Republi-
can.
