Over Half Exculpate the Own er and Contractor, From All Blame. Others Say the Men Should Not Have Been Allowed to Work. Organized Labor Roast the Building Inspector in Royal Style. The coroner's inquiry to locate the re sponsibility of the death of the nine men killed in the falling of the wall of the Shepherd building Dec. 4 was re sumed in the municipal court room in the city hall at 2 o'clock yesterday. The lirst witness called was F. J.-Steiger, who stood within a lew feet of where the wall fell, and who afterwards as sisted in removing the bodies from the ruins. He heard no cry of warning.and saw no way they could have escaped. John Latter. foreman of the gang of men, was next called. There were sev enty or eighty men working in the' crew. He was standing in the alley iv the rear, of the building, when he looked up and saw snow and dust whirling from the top of the build ing, In a halt minute be saw the wall toppling over and yelled to the men to get out, but it was too late. He had no ticed no cracks or flaws In the wall and no one had suggested to him that they were in a dangerous condition. He had examined the Inundation and it was un impaired. The walls were live stories hiuh and no attempt had been made to brace them. He thought the heat of the great fire and the water, that was. poured on the walls, with the changes of temperature, had weakened the wall. When the wall toppled eastward, the weight pushed a part of the wall which fell west into the other building. He thought the high wind was the im mediate cause of the wail falling. He bad Identified six of the men at the morgue. Under like circumstances in the future he would not allow men to work In Such a Place. Officer John Voigtler and J. E. Vie pott, who saw the accident, were called, but testified to nothing material. David Johnson was working in the Griggs-Cooper building at the time of the accident. He heard the wall tum bling, but no cry of warning. He con sideied the wall safe and was not afraid to work there. Gates Johnson, buildiug inspector, was called, and stated the nature of his official duties. Had examined the walls, and considered them in a fairly good state of preservation. No one had asked him to prevent men from work ing in the building, and he had no power to do so. He had power to con demn the walls of a burned building, but had not done so in this case because he didn't think it necessary. The im mediate cause of the fall was the wind. He had never heard Bassr'ord say the building was unsafe, but if he had had the contract of removing the debris he would not have allowed men to work while high wind was blowing. No braces could have been put in with out first removing debris, and that was what they were doing. He had critically examined the wall after the fire, and found the brick and mortar in good condition and the wall standing plumb. Daniel Barnard, from the trades and labor assembly committee, had exam ined the wall on both sides, and any man who would say it was safe must be insane. An adjournment was takeu to the building. Joseph Burns, a contractor, was after wards called. He thought the action ot the fire and water contributed to weak en the wall, but the immediate cause of the fall was the high wind. The wall would have been safe under ordinary circumstances, but the wind was too much for it. Any wall would have been unsafe in such a wind. He would not have permitted men to work there In Sucli a Wind.; Martin How, engineer of the Griggs- Cooper building, was talking to the foreman when the wall fell, killing the latter. He tried to pull the foreman out of the way when he saw the wall com ing, but could not. lie knew all the men who were killed. The men had no warning when the wall fell. There was no lime to warn them. Isaac Bowers .was employed on the building when it was erected, lt was built of good brick and good mortar. Some of the brick bought for the wail were condemned as too soft, but those used were good. Great care was used in soaking the brick so that the mortar and brick would season together. lie was superintendent of construction, and knew that the wall was well built. He was sure the wind and nothing else was the cause of collapse of the wall. No wall would be safe in such a wind. Samuel 11. White, of Bloomington, 111., a contractor and manufacturer of building material, who had been called here to examine the walls, to estimate the amount of damage to them by the fire and consider the necessity for tear ing them down, had examined the walls very carefully with the eye of an ex pert and found them standing plumb, with no cracks or flaws visible. Water could not have caused the fail, because no streams played on that part of the wall, and the common-sense verdict must be that the wind caused the col lapse. The adhesion of brick and mor tar was perfect, as could still be seen by examining the debris. Timothy lieardon and James Burke, builders, -were called, and agreed that the wind was the immediate cause of the fall. The latter thought the weak point in the wall was where the joists entered. The case was then given to" the jury, who, after considering the evidence, rendered two verdicts, three jurymen signing each. The Verdicts. The first verdict read as follows: Under the testimony, we believe, first, that the death was caused by the fallinc of the wall. Second, That neither the owner cf the building or the contractors in charge of the men at work on the same were to blame. A. Allen, Cuaiiles J. McCarthy, S. B. 'Woolwortu. The second verdict, signed by T. F. Martin. Charles Passarant and Charles F. Pusch, reads: Beceasea came to their death on account of the falling of the partition wail between tbe building of Griggs, Cooper & Co. and Farwell, Ozman, Kirk & Co., the two upper stories of said building being unsafe, and that the immediate cause of the falling of said wail was the wind, and that the men who were killed should not have been al lowed to work in said buildings.

ROAST FOR JOHNSON. Call for the Appointment of a Practical Building Inspector. At last night's meeting of the trades^ and labor assembly, Messrs. D. Bar nard, painters' union; Oscar Berger, bricklayers' union; J. C. Stehlman, cor-* niceworkers' union; E. M. Stevenson, carpenters' union, and James Clancy, plasterers' union, the special committee appointed to impure into the disaster at the Shepherd building, reported that it should have been evident to any prac tical man acquainted with the action of intense heat on brick walls that the partition walls, exposed on both sides to the fire, were not only unsafe for use in a new building, but liable to fall at any moment. The great blame, we are satisfied, rests upon Buildint: Inspector Johnson. He should have seen at a glance the evi dent fact that there would be treat dan ger to human life in allowing the walls to stand; and. If undecided, could have" taken the counsel and advice of the ar chitect. The fact that the owner of the buildins desired to utilize the old walls, and thereby save expense in rebuilding, should have had no weight with a public official, whose duty it is to protect life. In our judgment, oven the outside wall above the second story cannot with safety be used in a new" building or al lowed to stand. As a committee repre senting the mechanics and laborers of the city, and having their protection at heart, we earnestly protest against sucli foolish and reckless exposure of human life; nor do we believe that the criminal careless that has led up to tne accident should go un rebuked. The report was filed, and the follow ing action by resolution taken by the assembly: Whereas, The trades and labor assembly appointed a committee to investigate the causes of the laic accident of the Shepherd building, and. Whereas, The committee find in their in vestigation that Building Inspector Johnson should, in his official capacity, have been cognizant of the fact that brick and mortar subject to such extreme heat were iv an un worthy condition, taking into consideration the fact that the rail was of such height and thickness that, without oilier support, ii was liable to collapse at any moment: and. Whereas. Building Inspector Johnson has thereby shown his lack of ability and fere sight and utter incapacity to tultill the duties entrusted to his chaise; therefore, be 11 Resolved, That the trades and labor assem bly request the mayor and city council that herealter a practical man, one acquainted with the building industries, be appointed la his place, and that all deputies be appointed from practical members of the building crafts. Messrs. Ryan and Schlick were named to fill vacancies as delegates to the eight-hour league. A committee was appointed to inquire into the advisability of establishing a writing agency and an employment bureau. The secretary was instructed to re quest the city authorities to see that the families of n.en injured in the Shephard building disaster are cared for, as some have been reported in need. The next meeting of the assembly will be Sunday, Dec 27, at 2 d. in. A "C" SUPPER. Novel Entertainment at the Park Congregational Church. A novel entertainment, in the form of a '•(." supper, was given at the Park Congregational church last evening by the ladies of the church, assisted by the Christian Endeavor society and the King's Daughters. Mrs. It. R. Dorr and Mrs. \V. G. White were directors-general of the affair, with a very able corns of assistants. Supper was served at 0:39. The menu cards were in the form of a capital C." and everything on them, from "creature cheer containing no chicory" to ••con gealed cream" began with 0. A sale of fancy articles was carried on during the evening, and the proceeds ot the entire entertainment are to go toward the fund for furnishing the new church which is shortly to be built. '' THE DREAD WINNER GONE. August Podwitz the Man Cut to Pieces -on the Kansas City. The man cut to pieces Thursday night by a freight train on the Kansas City railroad bridge was yesterday identified as August Podwitz, a laborer residineat 397 University avenue. Mrs. Podwitz yesterday reported to the Hondo street police station that her husband was missing, and the description she gave tallied with that of the man killed. Among the names in the pocketbook found in the dead man's pocket was that of August Podwitz, and the police had no doubt but that the unfortunate man was Mrs. Podwitz's husband. The remains at Dampier's undertaking rooms were fully identified by Mrs. Pod witz as those of her husband. Mrs. Pod witz has five children, who are rendered fatherless by the sad occurrence. VAGS ARE FLY. They Give the St. Paul Police a Very little inducement is being given this winter to professional tramps who make a practice of sleeping in the tramp room at police headquarters.

The old timers who last winter made their appearance night after night for "rest and shelter" are now seen no more, and they doubt less warm other "knights of the road" that St. Paul is not a good place for vags and tramps. The police are de termined to keep out ot the city all worthless characters who are a menace to the peace of the citizens. m» v.- Notice to Depositors. The trustees of The State Sayings Bank.

The terms of the lease nrovide for re pairs and improvements to the amount of about ?i*),UOO, Col. Alleu agreeing to make this expenditure for that purpose.

"what an would give towards the guarautv fund. Now, Ido not know what lias bee done or what is expected of us. but 1 will say that we will do .mr part. We believe that tliat convention will be a great card for the city if ii comes here, and we want the people of at. Paul to under stand that we will do the right thing. Ido not see why the prospects of st. Paul are not as good, if not better than auy other city. I understand Col.

Welz did not seek a new lease for the reason that he proposes to retire from the hotel business with the expira tion of his present lease. He has not yet decided what business lie will en gage in. but it will be something en tirely different. ' SUNDAY DOESN'T COUNT. Judge Nelson on the Legality of the Assignment Law. In the case of John V. Farwell & Co. against John Matheis and Theodore Diaz, as garnishees, pending in the United States circuit court, Judge Nelson has filed an opinion and ordered the garnishee discharged. The decision involves the validity of an act ot the legislature of lbtS9 on the point of its being approved within the time re quired. Theodore Draz is the assignee of John Matheis. Farwell & 06. sought to secure some funds in the hands of Draz by garnishment and apply them to satisfying a large claim against Matheis. With this object in view the validity of the assignment law of 1889 was at tacked as being invalid, because, as alleged, it had uot received the ap proval of the governor within the re quired time. Judge Nelson, after an in spection of the act and the journals of the legislature, decides the law to be valid and properly approved in point of time. The bill passed the senate Satur day, April 20. 1880, having previously passed the house, 'lhe legislature ad journed the following Tuesday. The bill was indorsed April 23 by the gov ernor as approved and filed with the secretary of state April i"*, or two days after the adjournment. The state con stitution provides that the governor may approve, sign and file within three days after adjournment any bill passed dur ing the three last days of the session, and the same shall become a law. The plaintiffs claim that Sunday should be named as one of the days of the session, and that the bill passing the senate Sat urday should not be taken as being passed within the three days of the ad journment. Judge Nelson says: •■The construction turns on the word 'ses sion.' Sunday is 'non dies' for work even in a legislature, "if business is actually trans acted on that day no record is kept of it as being done on that day. Tne "last three days of the session' means working days of actual session. It appears from' tbe journals of each branch that Saturday, April '20, was the seventy-eighth day of the session, and the adjournment was nad on Tuesday, the eightieth day of the session. Sunday was, therefore, not a day of the session. In my opinion, tbe act was duly passed and ap proved in time to become a law." Established 1870.
