HELD TO THE GRAND JURY
WARWICK HEARING HAD M
THE POLICE COURT
Several Witnesses Were Exam
ined Before Judge Golf;
Alleged Forgery

Clarence Warwick, arrested on the
charge of forgery in the second
degree, was given his hearing in the
: municipal court last Saturday after
noon and was bound over by Judge
Hiram Golf to await the action of
the grand jury at the February term
of the district court.
AT the opening of the case ]. r.
Hegan, who appeared as attorney for
the defendant, asked that the case
be dismissed on the grounds of fail
ure OF the complaint to specifically
committed. Judge Goff overruled the
motion, and the examination was
proceeded with. County Attorney
{. E. Phillips prosecuted for the
state.
George Grabowinski, one of the
men alleged to have secured a check
from Warwick, was the first witness
called to the stand by the state.
He stated that Warwick had passed
check on him for $40, which was
afterwards pronounced worthless by
bank. When the check was offered
IN evidence Mr.. Grabowinski identi-
fed it.
Cross examination by the defense
failed to break down the testimony
of the witness.
Bank Man On The Stand
t. c. Nicholson, assistant cashier
or the Mankato State bank, was called
TO testify whether II. Brell, whose sig
to the check, had an account at that
bank. Mr.. Nicholson stated that H.
II. Brell & Son had an account there
and Carl Brell also had an account
at that bank, but no H. Brell carried
an account at that institution. The
defense did not cross examine Mr..
Nicholson
:. H. H. Brel1 was next called to the
stand and shown the alleged check
Brelr' was not his signature, and
he had no knowledge of a man by
that name living in this vicinity.
The cross examination failed to
break down this testimony.
Ben Meurer, a North Front street
pool hall proprietor, testified as to
Warwick passing a check on him,
which was refused at the National
Bank OF Commerce, when he went
theret to deposit the paper. Mr..
Meurer said that he gave Warwick
$40 and S. bill in cashing the
check
Motion Was overruIed.
Albert G. SLIDER. assistant cashier
Of the National Bank of Commerce
testified to the fact that the check
was made out on National Bank of
Commerce blank, and to prove this
called to small numerals in the
corner of the check ]. e. Regain
made much capital out of the fact
that the words "of Mankato' were
scratched out and the word Indian
apolis" substituted. Mr. Regan tried
TO make out that the check might
be all right IL 1t were presented at
the Indiana bank. For that reason
Mr.. Regain asked that all evidence
Ringing on the Indianapolis" check
be stricken from the evidence, but
this was overruled by the court, who
permitted the entering Of the same
as Exhibit B."
At the conclusion OF the evidence,
Judge Golf bound the defendant over
to await the action of the grand
jury at the February term of the
district court. The defendant was
,tremanded to the custody Of Sheriff
'Osten.

Americans Not
 Keen To Possess
 Kaiser s sBaubles
By Associated Press

New York, May 22.--Americans to- day evinced no great determination to become possessors of articles once be- longing to ex Kaiser Wilhelm.
 In the home of the former Arion Club, one of the most famous German societies in America before the war, and next door to the old Deutscher broidered velvet hangings from the throne room of the imperial palace at Berlin were knocked down by the auctioneer's hammer here today for s305
 The gorgeous hangings, embroid cred with imperial Prussian eagles brought a mere $35 to $75 a piece, or about s565 for each royal bird. Ii took scant hour and a half to dis pose of sixty five lots of furniture and furnishings recently brought to this country from palaces and castles of the former Kaiser and Kaiserin in Berlin and Munich, and the entire collection which had been valued at approxi- mately $50,o00, went for no more than $7,s77.50. Dealers and professional buyers bid in most of the Cticles.
 Only one article sold for more thar $1, ,000. That was a large, nineteenth century French mahogany commode ot Louis XVI style from the living room of the former German Kaiserin ir Bellevue castle. Berlin. It brought SLIGO from a New York dealer.
 Spirited bidding, however, met the offer of one of the Kaiser's big carved ivory beer mugs from the Bavariar chateau at Munich. It was bought by Paul Block, a prominent advertising man, for a private purchaser. He paid s200 for it. and after the sale an nounced that he had been instructed not to let it get away under s2,500.
 The higher prices. in consideration of the size of articles, were paid for two Swiss made silver music boxes equipped with small mechanical birds of realistic plumage, which hoppst into view for an instant, whistled lit tie tunes and then dropped back out oi sight. They brought s330 and $210.
