opinion in this matter is that | think
all Solicitors should be paid a salary

Representatives Of Organization Look
Over Propositions IN This
Section Of State.

Representatives of the Brotherhood
of American Yeomen were shown
two possible sites for their proposed
ten million dollar children's school
and home by Mankato and Lake
Crystal business men yesterday. In
the forenoon Rocky Point at Madi-
SON Lake was looked over, and In
the afternoon Stony Point on Loon
Lake was viewed by the visitors.
The three Yeomen representatives
here yesterday have not the power OF
selection They merely view and
pass on the desireability or sites.
Four hundred have already have
been viewed and many other states
are after the location of the school
and home. If the proposition were
put through at either of the two sites
mentioned near Mankato it would
mean the building of city of 1900
with churches, schools, banks and
every means of education of the chill
dren there.
Last evening a banquet was serv-
ed at the Yeomen hall to the repre-
sentatives from the headquarters or

Star Witnesses For
State On The Stand
doutevideo Staying Case is Progress.
ing Slowly; Apparent Rebutts
For Prosecution.

ASSOCIATED Press IiSpat"h.l
Monteyideo, Mimi, December .
Two apparent rebuffs for the prose
cution marked the forenoon session
today for the trial of Elsie Salisbury,
stenographer, who is charged with
first degree murder in connection
with the fatal shooting of Oscar
Erickson, an accountant in the rail-
road offices where she worked.
Just before noon recess, the state
placed on the stand Ernest Hegre.
described as ''Erickson's best friend =
but IL was evident from the attitude
of the prosecution counsel that Hes-
re failed to give testimony of the
color they expected.
Previously the testimony of Or.
Ludwig Lima concerning the death
bed utterances of Erickson were
barred from the records. DR.. Lima's
statement was that Erickson had told
him Miss Salisbury was jealous OF
the slain man.
Miss Salisbury Attentive.
During the early part. of the morn
ing session, Miss Salisbury sat with
her handkerchief to her lips, listen
ing attentively as DR.. Lima, veteran
Montevideo physician, testified. Her
aged mother sat on her right and her
sister, Mrs. E. l.. Hoffman, on her
left. ~.
Or. Lima testified that Erickson
was shot three times, the first bullet
piercing his arm. the second his
chest and the third entering his abb
domen. nix .. r.-
The wound in the chest, DIR. Lima
testified, was the cause of Erickson's
death. This bullet, he said, entered
from the back and piercing the lung,
came out through the chest The
three bullets were offered as evidence
by the st1te.
Hegre's testimony under question
ing of the prosecution seemed to fall
far short of. expectations and the
corps of states attorneys was visibly
non plussed by the witness attitude
on the stand. His testimony was
described as really nothing of con,
sequence" .s.I
May Claim Shooting Accident.
A possible indication that defense
might seek to establish that the
shooting of Erickson was accidental
was seen in the cross examination
of Howard Smith, a local hardware
dealer, from whom Miss Salisbury
bought the automatic pistol, that
caused Erickson's death.
Smith testified that he sold the re-
volver to Miss Salisbury and had
taught her how to use it. He said
the pistol discharged at the least
pressure" and this phase was en-
phasized by the defense counsel in
cross examination.
The only bit of humor during the
morning session was following the
testimony of ]. M. Anderson, county
coroner. When Mr.. Anderson left
the stand. he inquired of the attor-
ney if they would need him any
more,
Il hope we will never need you"
Mr.. Cary of the defense, declared,
and the court room burst into laugh
ter.
