Erdman Trial is
Set for Monday
Judge Estelle Overrules Motion for
Continuance and Also the
Demurrer.

Motion for continuance and demurrer TO
the information In the Frank Brdman dy-
namiting case both were overruled by
Judge Lee S. Estelle in the criminal d.
vision Of the district court Saturday morn
ing and Erdman's trial viii be commenced
at $3.50 Monday morning.
John o. Yeiser. Erdman's attorney, and
County Attorney English battled fiercely
over the two propositions. Mr., Yeiser de-
clared that Emma Workman. who would
testify to seeing other men than Erdman
carrying a suitcase in the vicinity Of the
Tom Dennison home on the day the dyna-
mite suitcase was placed on the Dennison
porch, has been induced 20 leave the city;
that Augusta Tuse, a girl with whom Erd-
man had made a dinner appointment for
the time when he Is said TO have placed the
suitcase on the porch, has left town and
cannot be located; that a waitress at the
Calumet restaurant, who would testify
that she served Hrdman at the time he is
said 20 have placed the suitcase on the
porch, is IN a delicate condition and could
not well come to the courtroom to testify.
County Attorney English said all these
witnesses testified at the preliminary hear
ing and the state win agree that the tran
scripts OF their testimony may be intro
duoed at the trial. He said the contin-
uanee motion did not show due diligence
on the part Of the defense.
The motion for a continuance was over
ruled with the proviso that the testimony
Of witnesses not present who testified at
the preliminary hearing might be intro
duced by the defense, Mr.. Yeiser argued
his demurrer on the ground that the in
formation did not state specifically that
the dynamite in the suitcase was sufficient
to cause death. He said the information
says, sufficient to blow the house to
pieces" when It should state the quantity,
one stick, one pound, or whatever Il is
supposed to have been. This also was
overruied after a short argument by Mr..
English.

i've life in the city. The country has
a charm which is all its own. Man
is never more himself than when he

Bryant wrote his immortal poem,
T~hanatopsis, under the mighty trees

of winter were seeking a warmer

the young and doubling Emerson the
thought of Immortality. The thought

difference as might give q reasonable profit

criticism Of this tariff is that in respect TO
3 number Of the schedules the declared

difference retained or inserted by way OF
undue discrimination in favor Of certain
-1ndustries and manufactures. Little. il
