| PROSEGUTION RESTS IN THE DAHL CASE Continuel from first page. the defendant) was cross-exam ining Mr. Krueger, a witness for the state, and that he saw the cartridge that was shown Mr. Krueger and admitted as buing like the ones Krueger used in his rifle; that he noticed the cartridge was somewhat worn and thas it was impossible t7 make out some of the letters that were on the cartridge. This evidence was obj:cted to by the uttorneys for the defease and later Judge Spooner ordered it stricken from the records. Mrs. C. C. Strander was called and toestiied to her sister, (Miss Aagot Dahl) having white hair reaching below her shoul- ders. The state asked until 1 o’clocik in which to rest and then the de- fense moved to strike out that portion of Krueger’s evidence wherein he related the finding of the white hair on his gun. This motion was argued, and court adjourned until 2 p. m, AFTERNOON SESSION The largest crowd that has yet been in attendance since the opening of the now famous Dahl case, was on hand this afternoon, The spacious auditorium in which the sessions are held was crowded to its utmost capacity, and bailiffs locked the doors soon after cours convened to maintain order and keep the rocom from overcrowding. The court denied the motion of the defense relative to striking out the testimony of Krueger relative to finding a long white hair on the barrel of his rifle after leaving same with Fournier and Wesley. Krueger called for further cross-examination by Martin. When you found hair, did you look at 1t clesely? Yes, it was a long white hair, Sure it was not horse hair? Witnessswears it was woman’s hair. Can you read without specks? Can’t read at all with or with- out specks. Who did you tell first about hair? Told Wesley and Fournier, also sheriff when Fournier was arrested. On re-direct examination wit- ness said hair was not pure white, by white meant light, blonde hair. State rests. Scrutchin for the defonse moved to dismiss case, staling no evidence had been udduced to show defendant had killed N. O. Dahl. By Martin: Delendant is charged with having on the 7th day of April, 1904, in town of Quiring killed N. O. Dahl by shooting him with a rifle. The evidence in this case shows that defendant did not kill N, O. Dahl with a rifle, or that he even aided, abetted or advised in killing Dahl. The only evidence con- necting Wesley in any manner is that of Koote and McGraw, that he knew of the crime and got only $20. Mr. Martin continued his ar- gument at some .length con- tending there was nothing in the evidence brought out to show that Wesley was guilty of any- thing in connection with the murder except being accessory after the fact, in that he had tried to aid Fournier from being discovered, Counsel called at- teution to the court that the in- dictment did not charge Wesley with being an accessory, but principal. The evidence of Mec- Graw and Foots regarding the alleged confession, council ad- mitted was state’s strongest evi- dence, but being hearsay evi- dence would not convict Four- pier even, unless corroborated by others. To convict Wesley of murder there would have to be other evidence except threats Leard by Caldwell. The defendant might have received $20 and learned afterwards Fournier killed the Dahls, and this would make him an accessory after the fact, but the state must charge him with that in the indictment and prove a guilty knowledge. The indictment charged defend- ant with killing Dahl with a rifle, and with the plea that better 1 let ninety-nine guilty ones escape than place an innocent man in jeopardy, the defense moved to dismiss theaction, and discharge the defendant. ‘The court: Believe counsel mis- construe this case. Statement of McGraw in this court is that both Fournier and Wesley stood in the brush, and Fournier shot old wan. (Testimony of McGraw read.) I believe Wesley was ac. cessory hefore the fact, the dis- tinction between principals and accessories is such, that one, whether present or not, may be directly charged with murder. The county attorney may allege that Paul Fournier is principal, and James Wesley may be in- dicted as accessory before the fact and tried as principal, Motion denied. SGRUTGHIN OPENS FOR DE- FENSE Chas. Scrutchin opened with his address for the defense about 3 o’clock, and made an earnest plea for fair and impartial con- sideration for his client. Before proceeding to outline what the defense would be he took occasion to thank the jurors for their patience, and the court for the impartial manner in which it had ruled and presided, and also the o'her officers of the court for the considerations they had showed the defense. Mr. Scrutchin asked the jury to give the same careful atten- tion and consideration to the evidence of the defense as they had that of the prosecution, and not let outside pressure warp their judgment, but like the American eagle rise above it. Outlining the defense Scrutch- in said, we are going to show by evidence the innocense of the de- fendant. We will show by Jesse Dade of Blackduck, that Eugene Caldwell and his wife have not told the truth. Continuing coun- sel pleaded eloquently that the jurymen exercise their judg- ment, and according to their oxth give the defendant the benefit of doubt. Outlining the defense Scrutch- in said, we will prove by Mr. McDonald that McGraw lied when he swore Wesley confessed to him, We will place H. J Loud on the stand as expert witness on bullet wounds, and show that wounds made in old man’s skull were not made with Krueger’s rifle, but with a 303 Savage, and so on down the line. Compare the character of the witnesses for the defense to the cut-throats for the state. Take for example Fred Foote, who killed Matt Gannon, by shooting him in the back. Allen McGraw was in juiil bere for larceny, and has been charged with crime in Iowa, We will show 303 cartridge shell found on trail leading to Dahl’s. We will nlace J. P. Lahr on the stand, and lastly defend- ant—Wesley. Wesley sat unmoved and stared straight in Foot’s face when Foot said he hinted at hanging him- self. He wanted the jury to watch Wesley’s demeanor and judge for themselves if looked the murderer. Closing his opening address Scrutchins declared with dram- atical effort that he would put on the stand J. J. Ellis (a member of the jury) who had visited Caldwell’s house after the trag: edy, and who would testify that Caldwell not only turned purple, but fairly shook when told he was suspected. : TESTIMONY FOR DEFENSE. Fred Wilsen was first witness called for the defense. Direct examination by Martin. Mr. Wilson testified to having been in the Quiring country in August, 1904; he saw a detective who accompanied him pick up a rifle shell on the trail leading to old man Dahl’s house; they took it to Caldwell’s house and the shell fit his 303 Savage rifle;asked to identify the shell presented by the state, witness could not do so; objection sustained to in- troducing shell in evidence. As the Pioneer goes to press, counsel for defense is attempt- g to impeach all testimony given by Eugene Caldwell and wife and are examining witnesses who were members of the grand jury of September, 1904, and also H. J. Loud, who was county at- torney at that time. When Longfellow Dined. “Yesterday I dined with Dominican friars at the convent of San Clemente. Archbishop Manning and several peo- ple of note were there. We had a jo- vial dinner and good wine, and every dish was Italian, not to say Italianis- simo. After dinner we went into a small coffee room, where the inquisitor tried to light a fire, with small success, BSome one cried out, '‘Ah, padre, the days bave gone by when fires can be lighted by Inquisitors! and there was a roar of laughter, in which the padre aforesaid jolned heartily.” “Yesterday Lowell gave a supper to Thackeray.

A North Atlantic Curiosity. “In the midst of the north Atlantic there is an cnormous field of floating seaweed which kept its place presum- ably for centuries,” said an old sea captain. “It occupies an immense eddy about the fifty-sixth degree of west longitude and between the twen- ty-second and twenty-cighth degrees of north latitude. Tl a grea er- ence of opinion regarding the origin of this floating mass. Some believe it to be detached from rocks at a considera- ble depth in the latitude where it floats. Others suppose it to come from the shores of the northiern seas, having been detached from the rocks by the violence of the winds. Some again im- agine that it comes from the roc! shores of Florida and Mexico, while many others agree with me in believ- Ing that it has never had any othor sent place of abode. No v seen it attached to rocks, nor have roots ever been discovered belonging to it." What a Man's Beard Tells. “You can tell some of a man's habits and read some of tr of charac- ter from his beard,” said the old bar- ber. “If a man spends his days at a desk beside a window his hair and beard will grow faster on the side to- ward the window. Plants and beards both flourish under the influence of sunlight. Why, one of my customers found the effects of the side light so pronounced that he changed his office desk to face the window. Another in- teresting fact is that, when a man is up late or works long hours, he needs a shave oftener than if he took the usual amount of sleep. That's because in being awake he keeps the vital proc- esses of his body in greater activity than when asleep. The growth of the hair depends largely on the circulation of the blood, and the heart slows down when we sleep.”—Kansas City Star. Fog and Sound.

The Pall Mall Gazette in 1880 asked its readers to name the worst railway In England. And one English kicker answered thus: “Sir—The Southeastern rallway is the very worst railway in the world. The engines are asthmatic. Its lamps are trimmed by foolish vir- gins. Its fares are excessive. Its car- rlages let in the snow in winter and are furnaces in summer. Its motto is unpunctuality.

Clever With Bome years ago a certain county jall was undergoing extensive alterations, during which time a gang of pickpock- ets, four In number, were arrested one market day. Owing to the alterations the lot were confined for a time in one cell, but were ‘placed under strict sur- veillance,, the care of them being spe- cially Intrusted to the sergeant, The day after during his rounds he spled them playing cards, when he promptly opened the door and summoned a fel- low constable, on whose arrival the cell and the prisoners were most care- fully searched, but no cards were found. However, the card playing still | continued until the day on which the pickpockets were to be sent to the as- slzes for (v Then the superintend- ent, a very kind man and a great fa- vorite with every one, asked them as a favor to tell him where they had hid- den the cards.

Atmospheric Weight., level, with the barometer ches and the thermom- eter 32 degroes F., a cubie foot of pure dry air weighs about 565 grains troy. The weight of a cubic foot of water vapor under the same conditions is only 852 g . When vapor is mixed with dry air, therefore, the resulting gompound is lighter—that is to say, gamp air is lighter than dry air. In stormy weather the air is lighter. than it is in fair weather and not heavier, as many persons suppose. When smoke hangs about the surface of the earth, it shews that the alr is lighter than the smoke.

The welght of the earth’s atmosphere, or, in other words, the pressure exerted upon the arth by the atmosphere, Is about the same as would be exerted by a flood of water thirty-three feet in height over the globe. At the sea level the pressure of the atmosphere is about fifteen pounds to the square inch. A man of ordinary size thus bears all the time a pressure of about 30,000 pounds, but he does not feel it, because the pressure is exerted In every direction— above, below and around him—and be- cause his body is filled with air and other fluids that press outward, thus maintaining a state of equilibrium. England and France. It has been playfully observed that the mutual antipathies and attractions of England and France resemble to a curlous degree those of man and wom- an, perhaps one might say of man and woman attached to each other by a mariage de convenance-geographique. “We do all naturally hate the French,” Mr. Pepys observed long ago. (Does any nation, by the way, love its neigh- bor?) France has never ‘ceased to in- terest us or indeed to inspire part of our ideas and conduct. Rightly do her historians descant of the glorious role she has played in the general work of civilization, of the “sympathetic genius which has seized and translated for Europe the ideas of reason, justice and all the theory of life, private and public,” which has “preserved even in the useful and frivolous the tradition of art,” of the idealist perseverance, whose experi- ments have saved the world so much suffering and “made of her follies the wisdom of other nations.”—George H.

It was formerly the practice among physiclans to carry a cane having a hollow head, the top of which was gold, plerced with holes like & pepper box. The top contained a small amount of aromatic powder or of snuff, and on entering the house or room where a disease supposed to be infectious prevafled the doctor would strike his cane on the floor to agltate the powder and then apply it to his nose; hence all the old prints of physi- clans represent them with canes to their noses. A Marriage Warning. ’ In Germany all marriages have to be contracted before a register previous to the ceremony in church, which is optional. The law requires public notice to be given of the match, and this notice 1is generally exhibited in a box hung up at the town hall or oth- er municipal building. The following official announcement appeared lately 1n a small town: “From today there is fixed at the town hall the new box, In HIS VIEWS UNGHANGED PRESIDENT CAN:SEE NO REASON FOR A PUBLIC ADDRESS ON RAILROAD SITUATION. BTANDS BY FORMER DECLARATIONS (IN FAVOR OF EFFECTIVE GOVERN- MENT SUPERVISION OVER CORPORATIONS. ‘Washington, April 2.—President Roosevelt, in declining the invitation of the Illinois Manufacturers’ associa- tlon to malke an address at Springfield next week on the railroad situation, writes a letter to C. H. Smith, presi- dent of the association, explaining such an address from him at this time would be useless, as his position was well understood and as he stands by his -previously expressed views. To the different men, friendly and un- friendly, who have visited him or writ- ten to him, he has answered verbally or in writing that his words’ and acts spoke for themselves and needed no explanations whatever and that he should not in his future course devi- ate one hair’s breadth from the course he has pursued in the past and Wwas now pursuing. From an authoritative source it is learned that the president has not the slightest intention of taking any ac- tion which would invalidate railroad securities. The president holds, on the other hand, that every executive action of his administration regard- ing the railvroads has furnished its own ample justification. Neither has the president, it is pointed out, made any reference to the physical valuation of railroads, holding the roads capable of working out that problem for them- selves. Attention is called to the fact that the Northern Pacific and Great Northern roads already have submit- ted figures regarding such valuation. It is also well understood that the pres- ident again will ask congress for power to deal with overcapitalization of railroads, which request was de- nied at the late session. Reiterates Former Position. The president, in his letter to Mr. Smith, outlines at length his position on the railroad question by means of copious extracts from a speech he de- livered at Raleigh, N. C., Oct. 19, 1905; another from a speech delivered in ‘Washington Nov. 14, 1905, and from his late messages to congress. His position since the time of his ad- dresses and messages, the president declares, have been amply justified by the course of events. Its wisdom is Qpvious, he adds, and there is no oc- caigion or reason for amplification at Dprsent. Quoting from his Raleigh address thé Piesident calls attention to his belief that the government should do gothing which can properly be left in private hands, but that such regula- tlons should be exercised against the rafiroads as to insure their operation in a spirit of fairness to all con- cerned. Whatever power the govern- ment wields must be with wisdom, caution and self-restraint. Railroads, bé decjares, must be protected from any public elamor, no matter how vio- lent, when the roads were in the right. Referring to his Washington ad- dress the president says railroad rates are not as a whole too high, but that the evils that exist are due to unjust diserimination and this should be pre- vented by law. In quoting from his messages to congress the president outlines again his well known views fayoring effec- tive government supervision over cor- porate organizations, holding any ef- fort to prevent all combinations would tiseless and vicious. He also justi- fles the new interstate commerce law. ORDINANCE MERELY A JOKE. Tax on Fort Dodge (la.) Bachelors Intended as a Jest.

A bride of a year ago gave her hus- band a box of long, lean and sickly look- Ing cigars for a birthday present. The man smelled them, looked at the label and then, with tears in his eyes, said: “I cannot, bear to smoke your present.
