SENATE ME MbERS ANXIOUS
TO END ALL TESTIMONY
Important Point Gained by Defense After Long
Arguments on the Part Of the Opposing Counsel
---More Witnesses Are Examined
What Brennan Told,

ly mild as to what had been expected
from him.
What Brennan Told.
Mr.. Brennan IS story on the witness
stand was that he remembered on June
20, 1910, when passing along Kelly ave-
nue. in Devils Lake, he saw Judge Cow.
an standing in the entrance of an alley,
out of which he was apparently issuing,
near Bells drug store, about a block
from the court house. He said that
Judge Cowan came out of the alley in
company with John Mclean, who has
since been elected sheriff of Ramsey
conuty, having taken his office Jan. l.,
1911.
1t was the day Of the primary cleo
tion and the atmosphere was quite
warm. Judge Cowan, he said, had his
coat off and his thumbs in the armpits
of his vest. The judge stopped Mr..
Brennan, he said, and made the com
ment to Mr.. Brennan:
"Dan, you make your mistakes.
~ agreed with him. continued Mr..
Brennan.
The witness then stated that Judge
Cowan then asked him why they could
Mt get together, that a combination
between them would make it impossible
for either Of them to be beaten. Mr..
Brennan said that the jurist told him
to handle the young men and he would
handle the old men as he knew them
best and knew the game
Cowan Liked Brennan's Style.
The witness said that Judge Cowan
was at the moment intoxicated, as they
continued the conversation about the
political fight between the insurgents
and the stalwarts. He said he detected
I the odor of liquor on the breath of the
jurist and he spoke in TONE Of Voice
that indicated absolutely he had been
drinking. Mr.. Brennan also testified
he could tell that Judge Cowan was
then very tired physically, that he talk
cd great deal and handed him some
jolts and Brennan handed him some in
return.
"He said he liked me.' announced
Mr.. Brennan. "He said he liked my
style.'
There was general laughter at this
and counsel for the prosecution turned
to another specification in which it was
charged that on the same day Judge
CoWan was seen drunk in a ?ublic
place. According to the testimony of,
ferel by Mr.. Brennan the incident took

during the primary campaign.


Fred Mnan, prominent merchant Of
Devils Lake was the next witness call
ed. His testimony revealed much of
the conditions that have existed ~
Devils Lake for several years. Mann
was an alderman for over ten years
but was defeated by the Cowan forces
last year by Avery johnson, who was
brought out the night preceding the
election and who ran on stickers. Mann
was also at one time acting mayor Of
Devils Lake. He stated that he was one
of the signers of the articles of i'm
peachment filed with the house. He is
now a member of the well known civic
league and had been candidate for
mayor, but withdrew. Mr.. aMnn stated
that while he served as alderman of
Devils Lake that saloons, drug stores
and houses of i'll fame had run vide
open for several years That City At
torney Brennan or Serum gard haG al
vised the council regarding these sa-
looms and that the keepers OF these
places made regular trips monthly to
the office Of the states attorney, where
they paid a regular stipend Of fifty dol
| lars monthly. He also stated that Judge
Cowan, while on the bench. had called
himself and board of aldermen before
him, ordered the places closed, given
the city officials a severe reprimnd and
tried nearly all of the piggers, who
wer convicted and sentenced. Mann.
during cross examination, was given a
severe gruelling by Counsellor Cuthbert,
who tried to bring out an admission
from the witness that he had sold
liquor contrary to law on the Chautau-
qua grounds and also beer by the ease,
which tire witness strcnuously denied.
H. Mann stated that much bitterness
and heat existed at both the primary
/ the primary and, general election of
last year. That he saw Cowan on both
! occasions and he believed that Cowan
was in an intoxicated condition. Fe
had never been against Cowan though
until the past year, when he had joined
the original thirteen who formed the
civic league. Mr.. Mann admitted ~.
the primary object was for the enforce
ment of law, and also for the purpose
of getting Cowan on account Of his
friendliness to the TIE lawless element.
Prominently hrou"!.e cut in the Wit
ness testimony were the names ne Ser

who are admitted b., tho witness us the

while Fitzgerald had been brought 30.

law, and had been severely reprimanl.
ed. Both witnesses stated that not the
best feeling prevailed as result.
Rumors to the effect that some of the
witnesses will be brought back arl nrr.
jury charges preferred are denied. The
trial is progressing more rapidly, the
court being called sharply at nine o.
4 clock. Tt is expected that the bitter
| fght of the Lake town will be hashed.

( g su
PIN your statements down to what
you know, saw, heard and thought, Mr..
Brennan,'' requested Geo. A. Bangs.
Admits He Was Antagonistic.
It was a brilliant example of the
ability Of Tracy R. Bangs when he cross
examined the editor of the Devils Lake
Inter-Ocean in regard to the statement
made by the latter, and he created q
great deal of amusement for the whole
audience by sharp witticism made at
Mr.. Brennan's expense. But the wit
ness took it good naturedly, and that
added to the entertainment of the af-
ternoon.
Mr.. Bangs forced the editor to admit
that he lived for the past FIVE or six
years, at least, in an atmosphere which
Cowan. The witness stated that he was
not yet "a years old, and that his faith
er, NJ. H. Brennan, ha dtwice been de-
feated for the district judgshipj de-
feated once for the nomination and lat
er defeated on what is called "paper
nomination.
He said the elder Brennan had been
opposed to Judge Cowan for long time
and that a bad feeling had existed be-
tween the two for a period of seevral
years. Cowan g leading cousel asked
him if Judge Cowan had always been
the aggressor, to which question Mr.
Brennan asked him in what way.
"1n a political way?" and then after
considerable parrying and beating
about the bush, forced the witness to
acknowledge that he had practically
lived in an atmosphere Of antagonism
to Judge Cowan for four or five years.
"We would have saved time if you d
said that before" said Tracy Bangs.
Admits Writing Newspaper Dope.
Tracy Bangs then asked him if he
had not contributed while he was at
Bismarck recently the numerous news
paper articles about the proposed i'm
peachment Of Judge Cowan that ap-
peared in the Grand Forks Herald, the
Fargo Courier-News and the Valley
City Times-Record, or at least major
portion of them had not been sent out
from the capital city over his sigma
turc.
EfI did for some of those papers and
some for my, own paper, yes,' answer
ed Mr.. Brennan. "Some of the papers
had no credited reporters here and some
of them with which I ha dto do were
embodied with the reports from their
correspondents at this end. -
Mr.. Bangs asked him if he had no
office i'll this city at that time, to which
he replied that he had room at the
hotel. VI asRother tR question was fred at
had an Office in the capitol building
The same answer was given.
Secretary of States Office.
"Wher was it, insisted Mr.. Bangs,
"that you performed your editorial
promul cation, wasn't it largely pre-.
pared in the office of the secretary of
state?'
Before Mr.. Brennan could make his
negative response heard all over the
chambers, George A. Bangs entered an
objection which was sustained from the
chair.
Didn't Call Cowan Beast.
The editor denied having ever re
ferred to Judge Cowan in his editorial
columns as beast, but said he likened

"I' IN glad don't live in Devils
Lake."
The witness also testified to having
made the same remark to travelling
man by the name of Freemtn and to
Fred Bashford.
Hedges About Detective.
Tracy Bangs then asked the witness
if he had been particularly instrument
tai about bringing the detective to Dew
lis Lake last fall to watch Cowan.
There was considerable hedging on the
part of Mr.. Brennan, and for long
time there was verbal parrying that
was quite interesting to listen to. Then
Mr.. Bangs said:
"Now Dan, you we been through the
university, you studied some law and
you write editorials, so that You RS
pretty fairly intelligent boy, aren t
you7" The witness smiled with the
rest of the chamber full of people.
"You understand English, now sup
pose you try to get yourself together
to answer in straight manner. Were
you member of a combination or par
ty of men that employed the detective
to watch Judge Cowan last fall?"
Mr.. Brennan replied that the jurist
was not under observation all the fall,
but only in the latter part of Septem-
ber.
"Now you want to be fair and you
can be fair, so answer that question, y
insisted Mr.. Bangs, and the witness
finally admitted that practically all the
fall Judge Cowan had been under SER
veiliance. He denied the statement
that Joe Kelly financially backed his
newspaper plant nor that Mr.. Kelly had
ever held any of his notes.
"And you thought Judge Cowan was
drunk because he said he liked you?"
asked Mr. Bangs. There was no answer
! but a great deal of laughter.
"And that because the deputy sheriff
nudged him and he grunted he was
drunks' Mr.. Brennan acknowledged
/ that this was not sufficient evidence,
and then gave a demonstration Of how
Judge Cowan crumpled up election bal,
lots When he was through, Mr.. Bangs
said, wittily:
ct did that election night myself. ~
Other Witnesses.
The other witnesses were unimpor-
tant. Mrs. L. A. Hopkins, who has re-
sided in Devils Lake but year aud
/ ten months, and Mrs. s'ndwarl, wife of
the superintendent of the city schools,
who testified earlier in the afternoon.
Their testimony was largely a r,:itera-
/ ton Of what the husband If the latter
I! had already said. Mrs. Hopkins stated
one s fFher reasons t6f cn'tiu.;tG .lnuEe
/ Cowan was drunk. though she had never
seen him before, was that he thun.lrred
"He thundered?'' asked the coun-
i scllor for the defnsc.
eyes, was, the prompt answer.
4 "Any lightening?' he asked, and
then excused her from the stand.
Bismarck, N. d., April To-day S
proceedings i'll the Cowan trial are
bringing out the unexpected develop
ments, and the testimony as given by
witnesses at this mornings session is
revealing the bitter political fight
which is existing at the Satanic City.

Surprise parties nave been a popu-
lar social diversion the past few

IN LATE WINTER
AND EARLY SPRING
We seldom feel JUST RIGHT

At such a time. .uspaRllu is the best and
safest Blood Purifier, the most successful
prescription for spring humors and such
disorders Of the blood as boils, pimples,
pustules, blotches, sores and cutaneous
eruptions. Kasparilla is admitted to be
the best remedy for that lack of energy
and the peculiar debility so prevalent
during the close Of winter and the opening
of spring. For arrangements Of the di-
gestive organs it is natural corrective,
operating directly upon the liver and ali
mentary canal, gently but persistently
stimulating healthy activity. It's
beneficial influence extends, however, to
every portion of the system, aiding in the
processes Of digestion and assimilation of
food, promoting wholesome, natural
appetite, correcting sour stomach, bad
breath, irregularities Of the bowels, con-
stipation and the long list of troubles
directly traceable to those unwholesome
conditions. Kasparilla dispels drowsi-
ness, headache, backache and despond-
ency due to inactivity of the liver,
kidneys and digestive tract. It is a
strengthening tonic of the highest value.
