the list would be swelled this af-

More of them bit the sawdust trail
in the circuit court this morning and
with the first fifteen minutes after the
court had opened four more names had
been added to the waiting list"-wait-
ing for sentence. They included Aid.
Joe Loef, Ben Loci, Lou& Robsel and
Max Fischer. The trial OF the case of
the state against Alderman Dan Waehs
was to have been called, but after
conference Of the attorneys it was
passed for the time being and the case
Of the state against Morris and Mollie
Milkowitz was called. 1t was stated
that Milkowitz was sick at home but
his attorneys sent out to ascertain his
condition. Es.as s~3 SO
The plea of the Loef brothers came
as surprise and disappointment. AL
derman Loef was formerly chairman of
the license committee of the common
council and it had been admitted that
the state was decidedly interested in
bringing these cases to trial in order
that most interesting evidence--it was
said about as interesting as any gath
cred in the work in Kenosha county
was to have been brought out in these
cases.
Defendants Change Their Minds.
The Loef cases have been hanging
Are for some time and it was admitted
that several propositions to clear the
calendar of their names had been made.
One of these had suggested plea of
guilty to division of the counts but
the attorneys for the state refused to
bargain in any way and it was planned
to send the cases for trial this morn
ing. AS. the court opened, the two
defendants by their attorneys, Drury
and Baker, announced that they desired
to withdraw the pleas Of mot guilty"
which had been entered and substitute
pleas of guilty" The court promptly
granted the motion and the pleas were
entered and the defendants were noti-
fed that sentence would be reserved"
There was sort of feeling of chagrin
on the part Of the crowd which had
turned out to hear the cases. 81 regret
that these men pleaded guilty." said
one Of the men in charge of the inves-
LEGATIONS. We had hoped to be able to
present this full case to the jury and
to the public"
RobseI Saves One Count.
Louis Robsel was charged on five
counts with violations of the liquor
laws, but when he came up to change
his plea this morning, the state had
consented to nolle one of the counts
in the indictment and he went along
with the rest of them onto the waiting
list with the announcement of the
court that sentence would be reserved
Max Fischer, who was the third man
to plead guilty this morning, was
| charged on three counts with violations
of the liquor law. He is manager of
the Hotel Orth on Park street and the
evidence in the case was gathered by
Detective Joseph Hayes.
Things cleared away so rapidly this
morning that the court at 1880 o'clock
found itself looking for material for
the jury to work on, There were plen-
ty of other cases on the calendar, but
! in some of the cases the state had to
bring witnesses from other places and
this made it hard to get any of the
cases on trial. It was admitted this
morning that the interest in trials of
the cases was waning and that "de-
termination to go to trial" was being
succeeded by willingness to plead
guilty so rapidly that the court term
might close lot sooner than had been
expected It looked today as if the
hearing of the cases growing out of
alleged sales of liquor might be con-
