BUILDING CONVICTED OF MANSLAUGITER e Tue Jury so Returns Their Verdict—The Hanson Case Is Dismissed. morning last the case Randolph indicted for ‘murder of Frank Sullivan at Koo- chiching on February 7 last was call- Abe and after an examination of sixty jurer the following jury was empanel- Ar T. R. Dodson, Chas. H. Seeley, John Leary, John Dolph, J. P. O’Don- nell, Alex Dunn, Ed. Huson, Ed. Wil- son, Frank Poepke, Wm. Wheaton and Robert Patterson! Assistant County Attorney Donohue and Jas Peterson, of Minneapolis, conducted the prosecution and C. O. Baldwin and David Waite of Duluth represented the defendant. The state had but few witnesses, and the defense was but a corroboration of the facts elucidiated by the state, all testi- mony tending to prove that Randolph | was in a measure justified in the kill- ing of Sullivan. One of the state’s witnesses confessed that his testi- mony before the coronor’s jury was fiavored with maliciousness, hence there was a wide discrepency between his evidence ou that occasion and that at the trial. Aside from this the jury were not called upon to de- cide but one fact, whether or not Randolph had the legal right to re- turn to Sullivan’s hotel after he had been put out by Sullivan. Briefly the case is this: Randolph had made Sullivan’s his stopping place for months, a relay horse used in the {carrying of mail being left at Sulli- vans. Sullivan had repeatedly threatened to kill Randolph, and had wade it unpleasant for Randolph's muen who handled the mail. Ran- | dulph decided to make a change, aud had partially fitted up zaother building as a stopping place, Ran- dolph went after bis belongings, in- tending to settle up with Silivap. Randolph upon reaching Sullivan’s located him in the dining room, and upened the conversation by inform- ing Sullivan that he (Randolph) had received word that Sullivan intended to kill him on sight. Raadolph says he started the conyersation thusly with the intent of showing Sullivan that the Randolphs could not con- Monday sistently further patronize Sulivan’s Night Robes 50 5 | White Dre hir Fine Hosery 5 Silk and Wool Wr Fur Diving 1 Mitts $1 Link Cuff Buttons Big ODD FELLOWS | that he must conduct bimself as a The Best Christmas Gift Christmas Chimes Will Soon Be Ringing.

Randolph went to his sleigh aud securing a shot-gun he re- turned to the hotel after an absence’ of about a minute. Upon entering; the hotel he heard Sullivan telling those present that he ought to have kjlled Randolph when he had the op- pertunity, and stating that he would kill him. Randolph walked to the stove in the room, carrying the shot- gun in one hand muzzel downward by his side, stopping at the stove with; muzzle of thegun resting on the floor. He told Sullivan that if he was going to kill him he had better do it quick. Sullivan thereupon said: “I'll do it!” and shot twice, both shots wounding Randolph. Randolph raised his gun to his hip and fired, killing Sullivan instantly. These facts were corro- borrated by all the eye-witnesses. ; Randolph’s subsequent actions tended | to substantiate his defense that the killing was done inself-defens». One fact cannot be overlooked, and that is that although the homicide was wit- nessed by eye-witnesses and Randolph could have easily escaped to Canada and would probably never have been located, he apparently thought his act justifiable and gave himself up to the authorities to stand trial. The court in charging the jury informed them that Randolph had a_ legal right to go to Sullivan’s hotel; that he had a legal right to arm himself-if he thorght violence was liable to be done him; that he did not need to re- treat.because he had been threatened with violence; but the court left it with the jury to decide Randolph’ legal right to re-enter the build Upon this fact and Randolph's o! in returning the case rested, jurv was out 21 hours, and returned a verdict convicting ~ Randolph of manslaughter in the first degree. This crime is punishable by imprison- ment from 5 to20years. Randolph is still out on bail, and will be sen-| tenced ’ere court adjourns. A new trial will probably be asked for on the grounds that the verdict was the result of matters foreign to the case and was not based upon the evidence. Ne The Ehichees. GRAND RAPIDS, MINN.

Peterson of Minneapolis conducted the — prose- cution and C. C. McCarthy the de- fense.. The jury was composed as follows: Patrick Kinney, Wm. Walker Jas. Manson, Wm. Perrington, J. L. Lyons, Sam. Patterson, A. M. Sisler Elmer Brock, Ed. Higbe, T. R. Dod- son, H, D, Dibble, Ezra Watson. The state, presented its case and rested this morning. Attorney Me- Carthy on behalf of Hanson moved that the case be di sed on the ground that the prosecution’ had fail- ed to substantiate the allegation that. Hanson had taken the life of bis wife. There not being a tissue of evidence against Hanson, the eourt dismissed the case, and Hanson isa free man. It did not take but a short time for’ the court to dispose of the civil cases brought before it at this term, but the criminal cases will probably take up all the time b2tween now and Christmas.

Atkinson will continue to publish the Hibbing News, in spite of an tn- junction suit brought against him by Thomas F. Brady to compel him to quit it. Brady bought the plant of the News in at a foreclosure sale un- der a mortgage given hy Atkinson, which ccvered “the printing plant known as thé Hibbing News” Brady claimed that this co.ered everything, and when Atkinson calmly got a new outtift and continued to publish the Hibbing News, he brought his in- junction suit. Judge Cant, in his memorandum, says that the term used in the mortgage is unfortunate, and itis doubtful whether it includes only the mechanical plan. or the whole newspaper. If itis to be con- strued to cover the whole paper, bow- ever, he says it must be on a more complete showing than has yet been made. The order for Atkinson to show cause why he should not be en- oyned was therefore discharsed.
