In conclusion Gov. Whitman says:
"Au examination Of the record on both
trials shows that the medical testimony
wa Very explicit on the very point
raised 10y the defendants new ella m and
shows also thai the" question was in
uuirrd into by counsel for the defendant
with considerable care.
Taking the positive declarations of
the physicians who made the autpl~ =.
together with the opinions of the learned
gentlemen who have looked into The
question at my request, ] can find no
reason whatever for the belief thai the
defendants story, told after the judg-
mcnt of death was pronounced against
him, il credible.
"A clos. analysis Of his many state
meuts 10 officials and To fellow prison
ers makes it apparent that he has not
been consistent In respect TO this pres
ent story. He has in his different state
mcuts ALLEGED differences of time. of
plac. aud of actors in tn" operation and
differences in the method Of disposinG
of the body
'This drfeudaut has been fairly tried,
/, II. has attempted and once nearly sue
ce.ded in foisting upon the court "A story
which hc himself now admits was false.
H." has demonstrated beyond question
his capacity and skill in shamming and
classifying. and all the proof before me
! compels me to believe that his assertion
now as to the manner Of the deccndents
death is utterly false. In fact, | do
not see that the falsity of his story
| could lie more clearly established than
il has been.

by the trial Judge that the sentence

The sovrrnor's Decision.

In his decision tho Governor says:
''Thc defendant WAS convicted of MUIR
Ger IN the first degree after having been
twice tried under the indictment, the jury
disagrecing at the first trial. Each trial
occupied about three weeks.
''The crime for which he was convicted
was the murder of Anna Aumuller on or
about the second day of September, 1913.
II was conceded that the defendant had
meretriCious relations with the deceased
and that she had been discharged from
her place OF employment on the Friday
preceding her death. II was shown that
she had gou. To- an apartment rented for
her by the defendant.
portions Of her d~iSmcmberod body
were found floating IN the Hudson RIVER
about a week after she left her place Of
employment. by skilful police work the
place OF her death was traced to the
apartment rented for her by the defer
dait. His connection with the deceased
was asccrtained and when he was con-
fronted with the charge of murder he
admitted responsibility for her death.
soon thereafter he began "a series
OF statements and proceeded to act in
u plea of INSANITY. Throughout both
OF the trials he maintained through his
Counse that h" wis insane. and various
so-callcd experts We're produced who
testified tldt. in their opinion. the de-
PENDANT was insane within the meaning

BEN HOLMES IN "HAPPY HEINE'

Now on his third successful tour of all
the large cities, Ben Holmes, whose work
takes us back to the days of those ever
lovable German character comedians,

the frauds were discovered. Mr.. Ora
ham had evidently figured on this and
in that way got start of several days.
Sheriff August Olson got in immediate
touch with authorities of the $nearby
towns to be on the lookout for a man
answering Graham's description. He is
described as being forty years of age, five
feet seven or eight inches tall, weighing
AS pounds, slim, dark, smooth-faced
and when last seen wore a sheep-lined
coat, gray hat and trousers.
1t has been learned that the mans
real name is VIM. Bolds. He has been
staying with a sister, Mrs. Howard,
on Third street while in St. Peter.
Further Investigations by the autho-
rites reveal the fact that Bolds has been
in the habit of doing petty lawless acts.
Two years ago he was sentenced to prison
in Illinois for forgery, and it is believed
that he has broken his parole when he
was here.-St. Peter Herald.

ST. PETER MERCHANTS VICTIMS

By using his own head and another
mans name fellow who gave his name as
W. J. Graham secured in the neighbour
hood of $4,000 from several St. Peter
business men last week Friday evening.
After cashing the checks, Graham left
for parts unknown, and at the present
time he has not been apprehended.
The supposed Mr.. Graham had been
employed in the vicinity of the Nicollet
County seat since last fall and during
this time he had been able to work up a
small line of credit. He had been husk-
ing corn for Max Fitzke of Lake Prairie,
and also had been employed doing odd
jobs about town. The last employment
he had was with the Consumers Power
company.
Carl Gustafsen was the heaviest loser,
he cashing a check for $4,000 drawn on
the First National Bank of Mankato.
This check purported to have been signed
by Harvey Hoffman, one Of the foremen
of the Consumers Power company. T.
w. Knoll, Dicks Sons, the Nicollet hotel
and A. Rausch were also taken in, but
for smaller amounts. On the latter checks
thena me of Max Fitzke had been forged,
and the checks were drawn on the First
National Bank of St. Peter. The check
passed at the Rausch meat market was
written on an old blank which bore the
date of Dec. 81, 1906. Graham also
purchased pint Of oysters at the SAM
tary Meat Market and here he attempted
to pass check, but Mr.. Ward having
banked his money the same afternoon
was short of change, 50 he informed
Graham he would charge it for the time
being, as he had done once before.

FILLED.

Rev. Nj. J. Wagner of Colome, S. OAK,
has decided to accept the call to the
position of professor and inspector at
DR.. M. L. College and is expected to
assume his duties about April Is. He
was selected for the position by the
college board early last fall, but de-
clined to accept because of important
work, which required his attention in the
Colome congregation. He was again
urged to accept the call to the local
college when it became evident that his
work would be we'll in hand by spring.
Rev. Wagner is graduate of both the
Northwestern College at Watertown,

ST. PAUL's CHURCH PROsPERs.

Looking backward over fifty years
OF active work, the congregation of the
Ev. Luth. St. Paul's Church has just
closed one of the most prosperous years
since its organization and is entering
upon another of probably still greater
proportions. At the annual meeting
held last Saturday the congregation
decided to add another teacher to it's
force at the parochial school, this being
necessitated by the ever increasing at
tendance of students and consequent
added labor of the present teaching staff.
In reviewing the activities of the con-
gregation during the past year, President
F. H. Retzlaffa calls attention to sew
eral important incidents, among them
the converting of the Synod from June
10 to Is and the celebration of the
Golden Jubilee August 9Th. Several
changes have taken place at the church
and school during the year. Prof. H.
Klatt was installed as teacher at the
parochial school, taking the place of
Prof. Muesing, resigned; Prof. John
Meyer, assistant to the minister resigned
Sept. 10Th, to accept call of the con-
gregation at Oconomowoc, Wis. This po-
sition is still vacant. President Retzlaff
also calls attention to the fact that all
the missing colored windows of the
church have been placed the past year,
through donations by prominent men,
bers and several of the branch societies
of the church.

cation follows:
