It is evident that County At- torney Loud’s enemies intend to “get him” if they can. A long account of the murder of Matt Gannon appeared in the Minneapolis Journal yesterday under a Fergus Falls date line luridly setting forth that the ex- amination, conducted by County Attorney Loud was a farce. As a matter of fact 27 witnesses were examined and the examina- tion, according to those who were present was a particularly rigid one. Speaking of the mat- ter today Coroner E. H. Marcum said, “Every effort possible was made at the inquest to ascertain the murderer. I do not see how an examination could have been more searching. If Governor Johnson had conducted the ex- amination in persen he could not have been more thorough in his methods than was Mr, Loud.
