N o Other Case Known in Minnesota

His tory—The Law Permi t s a Re­

pr ieve for Special Reason Exis t ing

in Brennan Case, b u t Doesn ' t Remi t

t h e Pena l ty .

Since the opening of the Brennan t r ia l the question has been raised whether a woman was ever executed in Minnesota.

The records of the S ta t e Historical society show t h a t the first whi te per­son hanged in the s ta te was Mrs. Anne Eva rds Bilansky, who was executed in St . Pau l March 23, 1860, for the mur der of her husband, Stanislaus Bilan­sky. The husband died from-poisoning March 12, 1859, and Mrs. Bilansky was convicted of the crime. So far as known, no woman has been executed in Minnesota since t h a t t ime.

There is a special provision of the law covering the case of Mrs . Bren­nan. Section 7407 of the General Sta t ­utes of 1894 provides as follows:

" I f any female convict who is un­der sentence of death shall be quick wi th child, the governor shall forbear to issue a war r an t for the execution, or if such war r an t has been issued, the execution thereof shall be respited, un­t i l i t appears to the satisfaction of the governor t h a t such female is no longer quick wi th c h i l d . "

The law creat ing the s ta te board of pardons was passed in 1897, bu t i t con­ta ins no repeal ing clause, and in the opinion of t he a t to rney genera l ' s de­par tmen t the section, quoted is still in force. The issuance of the war ran t is still in the governor ' s hands . The board of pardons law provides, how­ever, t h a t a reprieve may be gran ted in any case by any member of the board unt i l t h e ent i re board can be called in session, and such reprieve must be based on an application. I n the opinion given to T h e J o u r n a l today, t he a t to rney genera l ' s depart­ment t akes the position t h a t an appli­cation should be made to the governor in any case, and t h a t if called on t^ gran t a reprieve he should do so as a member of the board of pardons.

GRAYE DANGER AVOIDED CLOGGED I N T A K E AT CAMDEN

P U M P I N G STATION DISCOVERED

I N N I C K OF T I M E .

When a n examinat ion was made a t crib of the Camden place pumping sta­t ion prepara tory to s t a r t ing t he pumps today, i t was found t h a t the in take was so choked wi th silt and sand t h a t no wate r was obtainable. I t had been in­tended to shut down the Nor theas t sta­t ion today in order to make some minor repairs about the forebay in the r iver and the connections between' t he stat ion and the river, bu t this work will be de­layed a few days. I t will be necessary to send down a diver to clean out the in take .

I t was extremely for tunate t h a t the condition was discovered when i t was. H a d the Nor theas t s ta t ion been pu t out of commission for one cause or another and i t had been necessary to s t a r t t he Camden emergency s ta t ion across the r iver , t he ci ty would have been in a serious s i tuat ion, wi th one s ta t ion out of the business and the other unable to get any water .

The Camden pumps have not been in operation for many months. The en­t i re plant has been kept up, however, and every precaut ion t aken so t h a t t he pumps could be s ta r ted on short notice. No one expected any danger from the in take . I t appears ; however, t h a t t he high wate r has carried down an unusual quan t i ty of sand and silt which was deposited in the pipe in sufficient amounts to fill the pipe completely.

This will not happen again and "hence i t is fo r tuna te t h a t i t happened now for i t has t augh t a lesson. Hereaf ter the Camden place pumps will be operated two or three days in each month in or­der to tes t the whole works and to keep the in t ake pipe clear.

AMONG T H E D R A W I N G CARDS.

Central and South Side police s ta t ions looked like thea te r s tages today when several suspects were masked and com­pelled to go thru a l i t t le act in the pres­ence of t h e men who were in the Fa l l s hotel last Sa turday night when the pro­prietor, Charles Bader, was murdered.

Mar t in Ellison, arrested for the hold­up of Sather Bro the r s ' meat marke t a t 2005 Eas t F rank l in avenue, the same night , was the first to go th ru the or­deal, b u t t he spectators shook the i r heads, saying they saw li t t le , if any, resemblance petween him and the man t h a t shot Bader.

Dan McNevins, the suspect arres ted last n ight was also placed on exhibition, and al tho the witnesses thought they saw a resemblance, they were not posi­t ive enough to declare themselves ei ther way. As soon -as McNevins was t h ru wi th his l i t t le act t he l i t t le p a r t y went to t he South s tat ion, where Olaf Wal-strom had been locked up. The wit­nesses were no more positive about th is suspect than they were about t he others and the detectives now despair of mak­ing a good identification even if the r ight men are arrested.

to the place, he th inks , and they were not in town bu t a day or two before the murder. The officers a re still work­ing on the case, however, and there is a possibility of finding the men in the city. No suspects have been picked up at small towns except those arres ted in Owatonna and they were tu rned loose.

Olaf Walstrom was locked up a t the South Side s tat ion by Detect ives Bhoades and Bahan last night . H e is a close friend of Mar t in Ellison, t he highwayman who was captured while holding up Sather B ro the r s ' meat mar­ket a t 2005 E F r a n k i n avenue a few hours af ter the murder of Bader . H e is thought to be a member of the gang t h a t was working wi th Ellison and the detect ives a t the South s tat ion will t r y to get them all.

The police are beginning to th ink t h a t Ellison knows something about the murder of Bader. H e refuses to tel l who his fr iends are , bu t s tout ly af­firms t h a t he was not in the milling distr ict last Sa turday night .

The Other Suspect.

The other suspect is Dan McNevins . arres ted by Detectives Stavlo and Hansen. He is well known to the po­lice, answers the description of one of the highwaymen, and cannot give a good accoount of his movements las t Saturday.

The work for t he laBt twenty-four hours has mainly been t h a t of t ry ing to get a confession or a clue from Ellison, bu t so far the young robber has suc­ceeded in protect ing his friends.

The funeral of Charles O. Bader , t he murdered man, was held from the Fal ls hotel, 416 Second s t reet S, yes terday afternoon. The services were conducted by Rev. G. L. Morril l and the arrange­ments were made by Hermion lodge, No. 18, Knights of Py th ias . Relat ives from dis tant pa r t s of the country at­tended the services and the large din­ing room of the hotel was crowded wi th friends.

Barga in Horse Bought b y Boys L a y Down and W o u l d n ' t Rise.

Bargain-counter horses have lost all thei r charm for cer ta in Nor theas t Miu* neapolis youths . Yes te rday a bunch of youngsters purchased a fine piece of crowbai t from an i t ine ran t peddler for $3 and led i t home re-joieing, bu t broke. The joy of t h e budding David flamms soon turned to grief, for the venerable animal lay down and refused to get up, tho t he oa t measure was shaken en­t ic ingly under his nose.

Final ly , t h e boys abandoned the*r purchase and stole away, they had a premonition t h a t there would be a death in t h a t v ic ini ty very shortly, and did not wish to a t t r a c t suspicion b y bein^c found near the corpse.

Fi le of Christmas Presents Remain a t Postoffice Undelivered.

While somewhere in Minneapolis the re are people who wonder why no Christmas present has come from home or w h y the son " o u t w e s t " has not remembered them a t t h e holiday sea­son, between fifty and seventy-five Chris tmas parcels a re awa i t ing claim­an t s a t the general delivery window* of t he postoffice.

Defective addresses are holding op most of these packages, bu t the re are others which have been so bat tered in t h e mailsacks t h a t the address is illegi­ble. Every effort has been mede by the carr iers to find the persons for whom these packages a re intended and deliveries have been mido in apparent-lv hopeless cases. Those which are now held a t the office are the impossi­bi l i t ies and unless a claimant appears a t t he window, they will eventually go to the dead-letter office.

Some outgoing mail i s being held for insufficient postage, bu t i t i s fas t disappearing, as t he addressees are sending in the shortage in resporse to notices from the office. Christmas post­cards have been the chief i tem in th is class of mail. People who are unac­customed to any bu t the rpadv-stamped card seem to feel t h a t they havo done all which is required of them when they have a^ dressed and mailed t he Christmas cards.

SHERIFF MUST SHOW

St. Cloud Official Charged wi th Negli­gence in Performing Hi s Duties .

Judge Lewis of the Ramsey county dis t r ic t court has issued an order direct­ing Sheriff John P . B e m i c k of St . Cloud to show cause why he should not be compelled to p a y a judgment of $200.89 against Henry Bonnes, J r . , and be fined $200 for fai l ing to levy under an execution against Bonnes in favor of Daniel Abberle & Sons of St . Pau l . The order is re turnable J a n . 6.

At t h a t t ime Bonnes had a saloon and had the order been Carried out collection could have been made. Bonnes has since sold out and is now insolvent.

ARMORY IS TIED DP: HOUGHTON CONDEMNS

Building Inspector James G. Hough­ton has condemned all the interior con­crete work a t t h e new armory and Work on the building has vi r tual ly ceased un­ti l the armory board cato t ake action. Mayor Jones is out of the ci ty for a day or two, and his absence will delay t h e meet ing of the board.

No fur ther flaws were discovered to­day, bu t the examination has not been completed and t h e building inspector i s confident t h a t other footings will be found unsafe. After t ry ing to find Will iam P o r t e n . t h e contractor, for sev­eral days, Mr. Houghton sent F i r s t As­sis tant Andrew Lundquist to St. Pau l to serve a notice t h a t t h e work had been condemned and t h a t work could not be continued Until the condemned work had been replaced by mater ia l sat isfactory to the inspector.

I t is not certain t h a t Mr. Por ten will Continue wi th his contract . H e has not been about the place for several days and his son, who is a member of the firm has not been around Often.

A few days ago the armory board called upon t h e Por ten company to correct cer tain work which appeared to be faul ty. There was no refusal on the p a r t of any member of the com­pany to comply wi th the instruct ions, bu t the work was not done and the archi tect thereupon secured John Wun-der for the work. Wunder replaced the footing under t h e first column, which was weak, and probably will replace two other footings which are con­demned, and as many more as t he bui lding inspector deems necessary.

Wi th the exception of making safe the work which i^ absolutely danger­ous, t h e entire ma t t e r is in suspense. Mr. Por ten has not indicated his in­tent ions and the armory board has not taken any action.

I t should not be assumed t h a t all the inter ior concrete work must be torn out, as the notice of condemnation s ta tes t h a t all construction which orr careful examinat ion or tes t is found to be up to specifications may be re­ta ined . The chances are t h a t most of the work is all r ight , but there is much evidence t h a t t he concrete crew was composed either of inexperienced or slipshod workmen, and hence i t is in­advisable to permit any fur ther work unt i l everything is above suspicion.
