GRAND JURY TO
PRY INTO AUTO
STEALING CASE
Affidavit of Bernauer Says
PartlOw Conviction OBJ
tanned by Perjury.
FRAME up IS CHARGED

A sweeping grand jury investigation
of the alleged perjury OF Carl Edwin
BernaueT, confessed auto thief ana one
OF the principal witnesses In the conyic-
ton OF John l.. Partlow. garage owner,
on a charge OF receiving stolen goods,
Is proposed to determine the cause Of
Bernauer signing an alleged affidavit in
which he admits that he conspired to
frame up" on Partlow.
Partlow, after he was fined 1000 and
sentenced 10 from one to fourteen years
by the Criminal Court. appealed TO the
supreme Court where the finding Of the
lower court was affirmed.
Partlow, b. his attorneys, Christian
and Waltz. Fitzpatrick aud Fitzpatrick.
sprang a sensation late yesterday when
he fled a motion before Judge James A.
Collins Of the Criminal Court asking
that the former judgment and sentence
against him be set aside on the grounds
Of fraud and perjury and that he be
given new trial.
AFFIDAVIT TELLS
OF CONSPIRACY.
Accompanying the motion OF Partlow,
was purported affidavit bearing the
name of Carl Edwin Bernauer IN which
Bernauer admits that be cOnspired with
Thomas Sterrett, also a confessed auto
thief TO shift the blame on Partlow by
deciding TO give the false testimony that
they and Partlow had an agreement to
steal eight automobiles and turn them
over to Partlow. During the trial Part
low denied his guilt and contended that
the evidence was frame up" A Jury
found PartlOw guilty Of receiving stolen
automobiles on an indictment returned
Aug. :. 1910.
Bernauer's latest alleged confession
claims that he and Sterrett were engaged
in stealing automobiles In 1919 and that
they stole eight cars and took them to the
Partlow & Jenkins Motor Car Company
garage of this city where they were
stored.
Bern0uer, in his affidavit. states that
Partlow was never in the garage when
the stolen cars We're stored there and
that Partlow never had anything to do
with the stealing of the cars.
Bernauer even goes so far In his CON
fession as to say he never even had a
conversation with Partlow prior to Part
lows arrest and did not even know
Partlow.
PLANNED TO MAKE
FARTLOW FALL GUY"
Bernauer claims he and Sterrett "con-
splred" to make Partlow the fall guy"
by testifying an agreement existed be-
tween Partlow and Sterrett to steal au-
tomobiles.

INCREASE IN SALARIES OFFER
ED TO MEMBERS OF LOCAL
TEACHING CORPS.

At recent meeting of the Board of
Education of Redwood Falls it was
voted to elect the members of the
teaching corps for the position they
now hold, for next year with increas-
es in salary. Not all reappointments
have yet been accepted as several of
the teachers ar considering offers from
other cities. Their decisions will be
made known within a short time.
The 1920-21 financial statement of
the school shows that $45,000 was rails
ed by direct tax, about $12, 900 by state
aid and $4,000 by apportionment MAX
ing a total of 100000. The total ex-
penditures amounted to $55, 1868,
leaving a balance at the end of the
year of $4,873.35.
The following table, showing the
comparative tax rate among towns
having approximately the same num-
Der of teachers employed as has Red
wood Falls, is interesting to tax pay
ers, and a revelation to some Of those
who feel that the school tax in the
city is very high. OF the seventeen
towns compared, the average rate is
37.8 mills while Redwood Falls has a
rate of only 81 mills. In the tabula-
tion the second column gives the num-
Der of teachers, the third the assessed
valuation and the fourth the rate.

REDWOOD MINNESOTA,
Taxation of
Motor Vehicles
A. D. McRAE MAKES STATEMENT
CONCERNING THE MUCH DIS.
CUSSED Law NOW PENDING

This office is in receipt of numerous
inquiries in regard to the new Motor
Vehicle Law, and in reply thereto
would state that the Bill has not as
yet passed both houses.
The Bill as introduced by the House
Committee on Public Highways was
passed by the House, but when it
reached the Senate Committee last
week, there were found to be many OBJ
jectionable features and many Of the
provisions would be unworkable and
a number of changes were made in the
Bill.
However, it is almost assured that
the rate of taxation will be on basis
of 2 per cent of the cost or list price
of the vehicle, with minimum Of $12
for any car weighing less than 1000
pounds and a minimum of SIS for
those weighing over 1000 pounds
Trucks will be figured at little high
er rate.
This Bill provides that the Secre-
tary of State shall be the Registrar
for the whole State, and provision
of the Bill that is of much Importance
to the car-drivers of Redwood County,
or any other county, is as follows
During the year 1921, the initial re-
gistration of any motor vehicle here
under may be made upon surrender
to the registrar of the Register of
Deeds certificate of Title heretofore
issued" This means, in other words,
that if you will have your car regis
tered now, as soon as possible, with
your Register of Deeds, you will in all
probability receive your licenses in a
short time, by surrendering the copy
of your Registration Certificate to the
Secretary of State, while if you wait
until the applications are to be sent
to the Secretary of States office, you
may have to wait six months or more
for your licenses, as it is admitted by
all that the office of the Secretary of
State will be deluged by applications
as soon as this new law goes into eff
feet. Therefore, we would advise ev-
eryone to get their cars registered in
the Register of Deeds office at once
and hold their certificates in readiness
to be sent in to the Secretary of State
Immediately after the bill becomes a
law, but Do Not send them in before
the bill passes.
The bill as first introduced contain
ed the provision that everybody must
procure their licenses before April
18th, and Shis provision has been given
publicity by some newspapers, but as
this is now impossible, the date has
been set further in advance, and will
be announced in due time.

Redwood County.
