( St. Paul Minn.,
Mr.. Editor:
Since the Quarto-Centennlal Cele-
bration Of last September, commem-
Grating the twenty-ffth anniversary
| of the birth of THE APPEAL, was such
an unprecedented success, from every
, point of view; and, is remembered,
with pleasure, by every one who had
the good fortune to be present on
that, never-to-be-forgot occas-
sion, it has occurred to me that an
other such an affair would be hailed
with delight by all who were pres
ent, as we'll as by those who, for
some reason or another, We're de-
prived of that blessed privilege; and
who would not miss the opportunity
II it was again offered to them.
l also recall the fact that the
tWenty-ffth anniversary of your as
sociation with THE APPEAL occurs
this year; and 1 feel that this is an
event as worthy of being celebrated
as the birth OF the paper; if not
more So. For, it undoubtedly is ow-
ing entirely to your managerial abil-
ity and indefatigable labors that
THE APPEAL has been enabled to
Withstand the storms that have
wrecked many like ventures upon the
rocks of adversely. And it does
seem to me that it will be very
fitting and proper for the people of
the Twin Cities to show just recog-
milton of the herculean task you
have accomplished in maintaining an
organ in their interest for a quarter
of a century, by rendering you a
testimonial on the twenty-ffth an
nlversary of your connection with
the paper, or, on such other date that
in your judgment is more convent
ent or suitable. 1 would therefore
suggest, if it meets your approval
as I know it will, the patrons of THE
APPEAL and your friends generally
that you proceed to carry out that
idea along the lines employed in
the Quarto-Centennial Celebration of
THE APPEAL last year.
l have no especial suggestions to
make, as the success of last years
affair, as well as many other social
functions that have been under your
control testify to your exceptionable
ability to manage them ''to queens
taste," therefore, I feel sure you
would carry this to a successful is
sue, il left to follow the bent Of
your own inclination.
am satisfied that I voice the
sentiments of the people of Mime
apolis.
Respectfully yours,
r. S. Brown, M. Q.

Bribed Mcnamara Juror Says He
Was Told He Could See Chief
Counsel Regarding Payment.

Los Angeles, CAL, Dec. ii.-The
name of Clarence S. Darrow, the
chief counsel for the Mcnamara

liminary hearing of Bert H. Frank
lin, a defense Investigator charged

p. Young today.
George N. Lockwood, the venire-
man whom Franklin is accused Of
bribing, testified that Franklin told
him he would see Clarence S. Dar-
row and arrange how the money
was to be paid. The utterance Gre
ated a sensation.
"Lockwood's testimony does not
bring Clarence s. Darrow legally in
to the case" said District Attorney
Fredericks. 1T is hearsay and Moth

When apprised of the testimony
in the Franklin hearing, Attorney
Darrow said:
Whatever Franklin and Lock-
wood said, | know nothing at all
about it. had nothing to do with

LEE BRASIER ESCAPED
Deputy Sheriff Robert Norris Missed
His Man at Idabel, Ok.
w. Wilmoth in Jail.

Yesterday Deputy Sheriff Robert
Norris went to Idabel, Ok, to get
Lee Brasier, who was indicted by
the last April grand jury on a
charge of false pretense. After
Norris had gotten to Idabel, Bra
iser, evidently heard that he was
wanted, and has not been heard Of
since, and Norris returned to Mena
without his man.
About November 1, 1910, Sheriff
Thornton, then new in office, was
hurriedly called to Cove to capture
a horsethief. He spent a night
looking for Brasier, but was un-
successful. It seems th Brasier
had brought a horse to Cove and
sold it to b. H. Barton. Soon after
the sale, ]. w. Wilmoth came to
town and claimed the horse as his
and proved his ownership to the
satisfaction of Mr.. Barton, who gave
the horse to him and then started
after Brasier. Braiser later was
caught, but the story he told Of
how he had gotten the horse from
Wilmoth caused his realease on his
own recognizance at the last term
of court. and an indictment was
found by the grand jury against
Wiimoth.
He was arrested Saturday at Ida
bel and brought here by Sheriff
Thornton. His story seemed as
good as the one Brasier told, so it
was decided to get Brasier and have
him here also. Wilmoth is in Jail,
but will probably be released on
bond soon.
