such short notice.
Seek More Time.
1t was thought that with longer
time all the stock could easily be
subscribed The secretary was con-
sequently instructed to send Mr.. Lay
a night letter to the effect that the
time given was so short a decisive
answer could not be given, and the
club did not wish to do anything to
prevent him from accepting the In
diana proposition, but assuring him
that if this city was given more time
the terms could probably be met. The
club presumes that Mr.. Lay will not
close the Indiana deal tomorrow, but
members stated that they regretted
that he could not get an extension of
time to accept or reject it. Under the
circumstances it was felt that it
would be unfair to Mr.. Lay to ask
him to reject the offer Of the Indiana
city, not knowing positively that Man
kato could make the necessary in
ducementS.

States Star in Murder Trial

Examination

Minneapolis, Mimi, January Ill
was afraid that Price would murder
me-" was a statement emphatically
made on the witness stand today by
Charles d. Etchison. This is the wit
ness who declares that Frederick T.
Price struck the blow that destroyed
the life of his wife, Mary Fridley
Price, after Price had pushed her
over the cliff beneath st. Anthony
parkway. 1t was thus that Etchison
accounted for the fact that he did
not come forward at once and state
that Price was the man who killed
that woman.
Etchison was subjected to most
grilling cross examination by M. T..
Brady, chief counsel for the defense.
The attorney went into minute de-
tails of the life of the witness, from
the time he was born in Illinois, and
much stress was laid on the alleged
money transactions between Price and
Etchison. The witness was spared in
nothing.
Sometimes his answers were II
don't remember" or 81 am not sure
but as a rule he answered promptly
and to the point. When the witness
took the stand this morning he had
an expression of determination his
face. His lips were drawn straight and
pressed close together. At times he
would answer by shaking or nodding
his head, and the attorneys repeated
ly requested him to speak out his
answers and make them audible. At
length the judge himself emphatically
made the same request
