ARE FOUND GUILTY
FLANAGAN AND TURNER CON.
VIcTED AFTER JURY is OUT
% HOURS.
VERDICT SHOCKS DEFENDANTS
Disagreement Was Considered Ger
tain by Them After Long DeIib-
eration-Get an Indeterminate
Sentence.
VERDICT SHOCKS DEFENDANTS

st. Paul, Feb. 21.-Martin Flanagan,
former chief of police and Fred Tur-
ner, a former detective of ST. Paul,
were found guilty of sharing in $4,000
paid by Ida Dorsey of Minneapolis
for the privilege of opening resort
in st. Paul.
The jury came in with it's verdict
after a deliberation of % hours.
Get Indeterminate Sentences.
Both were given indeterminate SEN
tences of not more than ten years in
the state penitentiary at Saltwater by
Judge P. W. Morrison in the Ramsey
county district court. Bonds were
fixed by the court at $4,000 in each
case and stay of execution for the
purpose of appeal was granted until
April 4. In default of bonds, following
the arraignmnt, both men were re-
manded to the custody of the sheriff
and placed in the Ramsey county Jail.
The verdict was shock to Flana-
gan and Turner. Flanagan was at
home when the jury came in. 1t was
some time before he reached the court
house. When the foreman of the jury
announced guilty in the stilled
courtroom, both Flanagan and Turner
started. Their attorneys, McElwee
and Payte, were visibly astonished.
Disagreement was the accepted pre-
diction when an early verdict was not
reported.
Appeal is to be made on the ground
that John Buschmann, one Of the
Jurors; as it was found after the trial
was begun, is a convicted felon serv-
ing a suspended sentence for grand
larceny, and was not qualified to serve
on the jury. c. c. McElwee, senior
counsel for the defense, said that he
would contend that Buschmann was
intimidated by the court.
The Second Trial.
The trial just ended was the second
in which the former ST. Paul police
officials were charged with graft. They
were acquitted at the first trial.
In the second trial Ida Dorsey testi-
fled that she had paid $4,000 for the
privilege of opening resort in ST.
Paul; Nina Clifford and May Burke
that they distributed it. 1t was alleged
that the defendants received shares
p. j. Ryan, assistant county attor-
ney, reiterated the statement of the
prosecution at the close of the trial
that it would be satisfied with any
verdict 1T is probable the defend
ants will not be brought to trial on
any other charges" he said.
Defense Counsel Wrathy.
E. H. Payte of the defense counsel
was stunned, then wrathy. "If pub
lie officials are to be convicted on the
testimony of such witnesses as were
brought by the state in this case, then
it is unsafe for any man to hold Of
fice," he said.
Flanagan served the st. Paul police
department 10 years. He was put on
as sergeant He never walked a beat.
About six months ago he was removed
under charges as acting chief He held
that rank two years.
Turner was a city detective two
years. He was removed by the police
board at the time of Flanagan's dis
missal.

Morris Raises Money Easily.

Morris.-Citizens have decided that

Contagious disease is like fire."
said DR.. A. ]. Chesley, head of the de-
partment of epidemiology of the state
board of health. UNLESS it is con-

tain to be great. Imagine the condi-
ton the fire department would be in
if as it made it's way to fire it had
to explain what it was wanting to
do and argue with the people to let
the equipment pass. That is about
the stage public health work is in.
1t has to spend so much time getting
a clear way that the contagious dis
ease is almost beyond control be-
fore the scene can be reached"

every kind will mean, according 20
the records of the state board of

deavor to save the 1859 lives that
are lost annually. The greatest loss
is through tuberculosis, which claims
annually an average of 1,756 lives in
Minnesota. Diphtheria is second with
479. The average number of deaths
from typhoid is 402; scarlet fever,
1876; measles, so; whooping cough, 81;
smallpox, 26.
What prevalence of these diseases
means to the peSple in the state is
shown by expenditures made by indi-
vidual families Typhoid in family
of four in Sherburne county cost an
outlay of $447; in another family the
disease cost $402; and in third the
loss in actual cash expended for doc
tors bills and medicines amounted to
