too swore that he had drank intox-
icants with Cowan many times, and
said that he had never seen him re-
fuse drink. He declared that he
had seen Cowan drunk often. He
testified that seven years ago he
found Cowan drunk and carousing
at a house of Ill fame kept by q
woman named Frankie, two or three
miles south of Devils Lake. In 1905,
he declares he visited house of i'll
fame kept by woman known as
Marie Harris, about mile west Of
Devils Lake, and that he found Cowan
in a front room with a woman.
Witnesses for Cowan will testify
this week.
One of the most sensational charges
was made by young woman from
Minnewaukan, who testified that she
and another woman OCCUPYING room
next to one occupied by Judge Cowan,
and two other men, in rooming
house in that city; that they could
plainly hear every word the men were
saying; that Cowan and one Of the
other men told Of their immoral re-
lations with other women, both men
apparently being drunk. A Minot
woman occupied room in the house
and the young woman declares she
heard Cowan ask II this woman was
of good morals. The companion
didn't know, and the witness alleged
that Cowan said he would not allow
woman to remain under the same
roof with him without finding out;
that when tho two men left their
room, presumably to 60 to the Mi
not woman's room, the ahiant inter-
cepted them and ordered Cowan from
the house. Cowan's companion, she
declared, told her not to mind any
thing that a drunk man had to say.
She testified that the third man was
found dead drunk in the room, and
there we're whiskey bottles about the
room. Someone had vomited on the
floor. s7&%

its 160 pounds on the back of his
neck. which was pinned between
frame and ceiling. His clenched
fingers still clutched the rope tightly
