KELLER AND SPETMAN DIDN'T DO IT AT ALL Mayor Cleaver Only Made the Suggestion that & Democrat Bo Keller Was set Rigid Economy. Not Some attempts have been made within the last few days to make political capital out of the fact that Mayor Cleaver wanted John Barhyte employed to look after the work “of grading Union avenue, but that Councilmen Keller Spetman, with their usual watchfuluess o the city treasury, prevented this useless expenditure of the city funds by requiring Street Commissioner Avery to do the work. There Is no dis- position on the part of the democrats to in jure Mayor Cleaver, for he is not a candi- date for re-election, at least at present, but tho talk was merely indulged in to give Keller a reputation as a watchdog of the public treasury, which might be useful to him in his political aspirations. The fact of tie matter s that when Mr. Avery was requested to do the work he ob- Jected, saying that he had all he could at- tend to in looking after the streets, Mayor Cleaver then suggested that Mr. Barhyte be employed, but nothing was sald about what ho should be paid. Mr. Barhyte is a demo- crat, so that the mayor could not possibly have had any intention of benefiting his po- itical friends at the public expense. Keller and Spetman very wisely insisted, however, that Avery amply able to oversee the work, and he undertook the job at the di- rection of Keller. He admitted to a news- paper man yesterday that so long as every- thing is frozen up, as it is now, he had very littlo to do, but said that when spring came the council would have to louk after some one ¢lse to do the Union avenue work. A little transaction in the city council last fall rather tends to indicate that Keller's eyesight for the city’s interests has been arpened by the nearness of the city elec- tion. At that time, it will be remembered, er | one of the republican aldermen suggested that as there was little for the .heaith inspector to do during the winter months the services of W. R. Kemp, who held the office, might very profitably be dispensed with until spring. But Kemp was & democrat, and not onc of the six demoecrats an the council could bo found who was wiling to cut off this useless expenditure. Kelier made a speech, in which he hotly opposed vacating the office for the winter, on the ground that the streets and alleys should be kept Just n during the winter as in the summer, so that danger of an epidemic might be averted in (he spring. A resolution was passed, by a strict party vote, that Kemp should’ retain the office during the life of the city council, no matter what happened. Tho alleys were never in very much worse condition than they are now, in spite of this precaution. In a number of them placards may be scen announcing “$5 fine for any one who takes away this manure,” the owners having concluded to sell it to nursery men and others, and Councilman Keller's eagle eye is largely responsible, GREATEST CLUAK SALE ON RETORD, Bennison Bros.

SMITH & CO., 45 Muin St. Got Out Through a Hole, George Murray, Willam Whitney and James Thompson have been occupying the sky parlor at the city jail for the past seven days and their meat and drink has been bread and water. This menu was prepared for them at Judge McGee's order, on account of the in- tense anxiety they had manifested about get- ting Into jald. Yesterday noon, after seven days of the very slim dlet, they began to hanker after the flesh pots of Egypt, and de- termined to get there by an air line. While Deputy Marshal Anderson was sitting alon in the marshal's office he saw one of them glide down the stairway, and he went for him. Two of them got out of the door in_ safety before he could reach them, but Murray chanced to be the last of ‘the procession, and be was nabbed. An investigation showed that with a knifo or some other sharp instrument the vags had cut a little hole in the board partition which separates the middle cell where they were confined from the front room and had crawled through it. The hole was so small that it scemed hardly possible that they should have gotten through It, but the fact remained that they were gone. Before going down stairs they discovered a rare treasure in the shaps of a barrel of whisky that had been stored in the jail building ever since it was stolen from a boxear a year ago, and they each took a liberal dram ‘out of it. No blame can be attached to Mr. Anderson, for the upper part of the jail is in such a notori- ously unsafe condition that the only wonder is that prisoners do not make their escape oftener.

Held Up for a Sack of Flour. Lawrence Hansen, a farmer of Boomer township, with bis brother and a bired man, left Council Blufts for their home Tuesday evening at 7:30 o'clock with ten sacks of flour on their wagon. They were followed by a couple of men in & buggy, who passed them near the poor farm, and then waited for them 1o pass. As they did 80, one of the men with the buggy grabbed a sack of flour out of the wagon, transferred it to bis buggy, and drove off at a rapid gait. Hansen claims the men in the buggy threatened them with revolvers, but this is rather apocryphal, as the only reccllection they have Is of something that shone in the hands of the bighwaymen. Han- sen and his companions followed their assail- ants all the way to Crescent, where the buggy was overhauled by Denver and M. A. Hough, who chanced to be in their store. | won after four ballots had been taken The occupants turned out to be two men named Dowers, who live near Sandy Point. They were taken before Justice R. C. Me- nary at Crescent and given a_trial by jury on the charge of larceny. The first jury hung, and another was immediately empan eled. The second trial was still in progress at last accounts yesterday afternoon.

Frank Naprovenek's place was broken into by thieves again Tuesday night, and when he awoke from an all night's carousal yesterday morning he found that his watch, a suit of clothes and an overcoat had been stolen. Selly Hough, who has been sticking to him with all the tenacity and ardor of a bull pup to a root, had his pockets filled with all kinds of money, and visited the saloons, call- ing everybody up to the bar with a surprising prodigal'ty. Who stole the watch and cloth- ing is an entire mystery, but yesterday morn- ing Hough came back with the overcoat and threw it in to Naprovenek, saying he had found it. After the place was broken into Monday night a knife was found lying on the floor, with which the lock of the trunk had evidently been turned. It was traced up and found to belong to Hough, but how it came there no one knows. Another attempt was made to burglarize Naprovenek's place last evening about 9 o'clock. The thieves broke the back window, but Mrs. Huntington, who lives next door, heard the noise and went out, frightening them away. E. H. Lou- Graham, J. C. Pace, W. S. Wil- 0. W.

The first witness troduced this morning was none other than Peter Vallalie, the hackiman of whom Harry had spoken to Adry as being willing to as- | Slst In the proposed crime. Vallalie's testi: | mony was most damaging to the defense, as | it corroborated in a strong way one portion of Adry Hayward’s remarkable story and | thus rendered thoroughly untenable the de. fense's pet theory as to Adry's sanity, Valla lie testified that Harry Hayward had ap proached him with questions as to whether e had ever “done anything” and it whether bis conscience had bothered him Hayward had later asked Vallalic whether ho | would drive a hack into Lake Calhoun and | let the occupant drown for a sum of money. L told him I was no swimmer,” said Valla lie, “and that was about the end of it.” This I the first corroboration of the stories of Blixt and Adry obtained from an entirely outside source and exhibited in a striking way Hayward's strangely careless way of asking incriminating questions and making damaging statements. That a man capable of concocting 0 cunning ancd intricate a plot should have made so many confidants seems almost as incredible as that he should have concocted the plot at all. Mr. Erwin at once recognized the supreme importance of this testimony and tried to have it stricken out entirely. The court, however, refused to sus- tain his objection and tho cvidence goes to the journal. It was a_ knockout blow re- served by the state until the very last, SOUNDED THE HACK DRIVER. Mr. Erwin's objection having been over- ruled, Vallalie said: “Harry had a talk with me at the Ozark about 4 or 5 o'clock in the morning in my carriage. He questioned me as to my consclence and whether it would follow me. He asked me about driving into a lako with some one in the hack and then Jumping off and leaving them go. I told him 1 was no swimmer. He then asked me if the team was fractious and 1 told him it was. He asked me what I wanted for the team and I told him. He asked me if I cared what became of the team after he bought it. I told him I did not. He then asked me if the team running away would do up the whole rig and I said it would.” “What did you understand by this ques- tion?" “If my consclence would hurt me? T un- derstood him to mean if 1 would kill some- body, and 1 told him I would not have any- thing to do with anything that would kill or hurt anybody, not if 1 knowed it."” ““Did he ‘mention any place near a lake to drivo off 7 > ““Yes, he spoke of the bluff near Lake Cal- houn. Simon Gittellson, a_pawnbroker, told of the advancing Harry $170 on three diamond rings that have figured In the testimony. While the transaction was being concluded Harry had “flashed a roll,” the amount of money in which Gittellson' could not deter- mine. Harry often came to him for “lucky money” to use as a stake in gambling. Mrs. Emma Goodale, a trance medium, do- ing business under the cognomen of Mme. Paterson, was an interesting witness. Harry had come to her alone and asked her to tell Miss Ging when that lady should call that she would win at gambling., She de- murred, but he told her if she did as he asked she would never lack for money. Against the advice of her husband she con- sented to do as Harry asked. Accordingly when Miss Ging came with Harry she told her that she would be very lucky at cards for three or four days and then would lose it she played. The next day Harry came and told her that on the strength of her advice Miss Ging had let him have $560 to go to Chicago and gamble. Harry said that with other amounts he had secured from Miss Ging in all $1,375. Mr. Erwin asked her if she knew what she said or did while in her trances, She re- plied that she did not. He proceeded to ask some other questions about the sclence of clairvoyance, but they were shut out by the state’s objections. She denled being ac- quainted with Adry, but knew the father of the boys. HIS COURSE AS A GAMBLER. Patsy Garrity, a well known local faro dealer, threw some light on Harry Hayward's gambling operations in Minncapolis and Chl cago. On November 3 Harry had met him on the street, and complaining the limit was too low in the Minneapolls gambling houses, proposed a trip to Chicago, where it was higher. Garrity agreed to go if Harry would furnish the transportation. He was given a $20 bill to get his tickets. When they arrived in Chicago they found ever. thing was shut up. Garrity Intended to re- turn the next day, but missed his train and came on the sccond day. He found Harry on the train. They talked of Monte Carlo and other gambling topics, and then Harry had shown him a large packaze of money in his coat pocket, just aflash of It, asking if he would like some of it. Garrity admitted that he played and dealt faro at a local house. Harry was a very lucky player, he said, and sometimes the gambling houses had to reduce his limit. He had won as much as $2,500 at a sitting, Mr. Erwin asked him how much Harry had won in the past year, but further evidence in this direction was shut off by objections. The principal object of Garrity's testimon was to show that Harry returned from C cago November 6, as Adry had testified that he brought back Miss Ging's money with him after telegraphing Ler that all had been Warning to lost.
