The committee that is investi gating the charges against Com- missioners Wright and Sibley re- convened at the court house this afternoon at 2 o'clock. The state résted its case Saturday evening and the attorneys for the de- fense have examined witnesses Baudette, where he subpoenaed | whom a search has been in pro- six witnesses on the case. The names of the witnesses that were subpoenaed are Thos, 'Cathcart, Jr., John France, Wm. Young, John Evarts, J. B. Montague and John McAffery. Most of them are residents of Spooner. The decision of Foote in decid- ing to await the action of the grand jury withouta preliminary examination is considered signi- ficant inasmuch as it goes to show that he practically admits that there may be evidence against him that would connect him with the murder. Up to yesterday afternoon he main- tained stoutly that he had no connection with the crime, but since Sheriff Bailey returned he refuses to tall about the crime at all, Sherriff Bailey stated this afternoon that there was every reason to believe that Foote was the man who fired the fatal shot. While not wishing to give out the exact nature. of the testimony that would be used against Foote at the trial, Mr. Bailey intimated that there would be ample proof to show that Foote’s actions on the night of the killing were suspicious enough to warrant his arrest on the charge of murder. “Since looking into the affair more closely,” said Mr. Bailey, “I am more than ever convinced that we have the right man, and while the evidence must neces- sarily be circumstantial to a large extent, I believe that it will be strong enough to conyict Foote of the crime.” The six witnesses that were subpoenaed will not be brought to Bemidji before the trial of Foote.
