% TOWERS FOUND GUILTY; THIRD DEGREE MURDER The Jury at Brainerd Returned a Ver- dict at Eleven O'clock Last Night. Brainerd, Jan. 18.—(Special to the Pioneer.)—The jury in the Towers murdsr case, at 11 o’clock last night, returned a verdict of guilty of murder in the third degree. The verdict was no surprise, and there were many residents of this city who had predicted an acquittal on the charge of murder in the first degree. The case went to the jury late yesterday afternoon, The defense was temporary insanity caused by the blows and kicks on the head received at the hands of Albert Hagadorn, the murdered man, and George Snell, his companion. It seemed to be the general opinion that the defense had made a strong case and had discredited the witnesses to the shooting. The shooting itself was not denied, but as to what occurred immedi- ately previous had been testified to and was witnessed only by Hagadorn and his companions. Their version of the row in the saloon prior to the shooting had been contradicted by several dis- interested onlookers. Defendant swore his mind was a blank from the time he was kicked in the saloon until he fouund himself in jail. The physician who attended him in the jail and two men under whom he worked for years, and who visited defendant in jail immediately after the shooting, had testified that he acted strangely and did not seem to realize the situation. Ex-County Attorney A. D. Polk summed up for the state, and Attorney A. H. Hall of Minne- apolis spoke for the defense. Summoning Witnesses. Deputy Sheriff Arne Solberg went to Wilton today to subpoena witnesses in the cases againsu William Foster, Frank Bogenrief and Guy Wellcome, charged with having cut timber on land be- longing to C. F. Ruggles, the millionaire lumberman, which will be tried next Monday be- fore Justice Skinvik. Additional Locals. Call at the Pioneer when you are in need of office supplies.
