From Tuesdays Daily
Another arrest in the hope of clear
ing away the haze that hangs over
the murder mystery at LeSueur is
expected before the day closes.
Henry Green, brother of Hall
Green, who is now locked up in the
county Jail at LeSueur, is suspected
of having had a hand in the crime.
Detective J. C. Fielding of the
Pinkerton agency, is of the opinion,
so it is reported from LeSueur, that
the Green boys are guilty of Staying

WINGED that Pat Masterson did not
have anything to do with the crime.

last evening, Fielding ''sweated" Hall
Green at the county Jail in LeSueur
Center on Sunday. Just what Green
coughed up is not given out. Field
ing, Sheriff Keogh and other Off

Sueur yesterday afternoon and the
work of securing evidence against
Hall Green and whoever else may
have been mixed up in the crime,
was taken up.
Old Man Green and Detective.
During this forenoon Detective
Fielding had heart-tO-heart talk
with John Green, the father of Hall
and Henry Green, with the hope of
enlsting the aged negro in the work
of ferreting out the parties guilty
of the murder.
The Free Press was informed to-
day that the authorities have some
pretty strong evidence against the
Green brothers. 1t is expected that
Henry Green will be taken into Gus
tody before the day is over
Hall Green still in a sulky mood.
This is because he is now an inmate
of the Jail proper at LeSueur Center.
The authorities of lie Sueur cOun-
ty, are. so it is said, convinced that
the murder was carried out by the
two negroes, Hall and Henry Green,
and that they are attempting to put
it over on the white man, Pat Mas
terSOn.

him very popular.
There was a parade in his honor, which
included the militia and police. His

received the money and had himself made
out the slip.
Senator Bailey sought to show that the
deposit slip was a forgery, and in this
connection pointed out that the spelling
of Holtsiaw's name was incorrect He
further endeavored to show that the
handwriting on the slip was not at all
like the handwriting of the chief clerk
who said he had written it, He held
both up TO plain view and then passed
the documents on to Senator Tillman
and asked Senators to examine them
Senator TillTnan did so. Then some Re-
