he was born in Minnesota: nay, more,
he was born in Blue Earth county, at
Mapleton. Though he moved away
from there something over twenty

and wished to be remembered to them.
Speaking of Guy Spaulding Mr.. Kies
said that Guy had been good to him
when he was n little fellow, always
greeting him cordially, and occasion
ally giving him a nickle or a dime,
which seemed to him quite a fortune.
Mr. Kies also delivered very in

Arrest Is Surprise.
Just as the suit for the fees went
10 the jury this morning. William ID.
Kaufman arose and was about TO
leave the court room. The judge
called to him TO wait a moment. Then
the court stated that I'm view of what

to have the defendant taken into GUS

was still an indictment on the rec

gree. The court remarked that in

Some Sensational Testimony.
II was the testimony Of the COM
planning attorneys about the existence
Of William ID. KaufmaGs written con-
fession that was the most sensational
feature of the trial over the fees.
There was much brought out that
would have remained forever slowed
away i'm the minds Of these attorneys,
knowledge that would have died with
them. had they not found themselves
confronted by a condition which they
deemed called for lawsuit to get
their fees. This confession was ad-
dressed to Philip c. Morrell. proprie-
tor of the New York department store,
according to the testimony that was
produced. and a partial restitution, II
was said, of the money taken.
