Tn the Lowe trial yesterday several
Tn the Lowe trial yesterday several
hours were taken up reading' the tes
timony given by Lowe at the cor
oner's inquest. The time not thus
consumed was mostly occupied oy
the counsel arguing as to the admis-
sibility of this testimony, ani it
was 4 o'clock before the examination
of witnesses was resumed.
Judge Card opposed the introduc
tion of the stenographic report of
Lowe's testimony at the inquest, ar
guing that as Lowe had been sum- j
moned to appear and testify, he had !
not given the information voluntari- i
ly, but under sufferance, and there- j
fore the admission of it as evidence
now would be in violation of the i
statute protecting a man from being
compelled to testify against himself, j
County Attorney Butler main
tained, and cited authorities to sus
tain his view, that inasmuch as the
law protecting a man from being
required to give evidence against
himself applies only to men charged
With crime, and no charge of crime
having been made against Lowe pre
vious to the holding of the coroner's
Inquest, he could not claim the pro
tection of that law as to the testi
mony given by him on that occasion.
Judge Kelly took the county attor- j
ney's view of it and permitted the
testimony to be read. The main
points in this testimony were as to
how he came to be acquainted with
the girl, her sending him a note to
meet her on a certain street corner
and then inducing him to go with her
to the hotel, promising to pay him
Well for taking care of her during
her illness, which she said was the j
result of a street car accident. His
testimony regarding the girl's watch ,
and rings, which he had in his posses
sion without ever having said any
thing about them until the informa
tion had been forced out of him at
the inquest, was also of interest.
At the conclusion of the reading
of this testimony, Mrs. Constant,
wife of the proprietor of the Globe
hotel, was called, and corroborated
her husband as to the refusal of
Lowe to let anybody enter the room
in which the girl had been kept.
Witness was present In the room on
the occasion of the doctor's first visit,
but was never admitted afterwards.
Elsie Johnson, a chambermaid in
the hotel, testified that Lowe never
admitted her to the room, but hand
ed out the soiled bed linen, and had
her hand in the clean when a
change was made. Never but once
did she enter the room, when she re
mained there some two hours one
evening. -•"• * ■ %
Dr. McNamara, deputy coroner,
Who held an autopsy on the dead
girl, testified as to the condition of
the body after death, and the evi
dences of disease and lack of proper
care. His description of the filth
that had been allowed to accumulate
unnecessarily was sickening.

• TAKING IP TIME. -
Two Days Spent in a Suit Involv-
ing About 9100. _..;-..-::;
A suit involving only about $100 has
occupied the attention of Judge Otis
and a jury the past two days, with
the possibility of being prolonged
another day, judging by the manner
in which the hearing was progressing
at a late hour yesterday afternoon.
The action was brought by E. A.
Hunt to recover from Anton Mlesen
the amount named for alleged unlaw
ful conversion of some personal prop
] arty taken from Basle . Scott on a
i chattel mortgage. Hunt is supposed
j to be a myth, but he is represented
by John L. Straueh, the money loaner.
Mleson loaned the woman something
like $400, about half of which was ap-
plied in the redemption of her dia
monds that had been pawned with
Jeweler Holmes. Straueh had made
a loan also, but -Mlesen got possession
of the property, and Straueh wants a
part of the proceeds.
DAMAGE SUITS.
Sarah S. and T. H. Johnson "Want
Pay for Their Hurts.
The personal injury damage suits of
Theodore H. John.ion and Sarah S.
Johnson against the St. Paul City Rail-
way company are on trial before Judge
Brill and a jury. The suits grew out
of a collision between one of defend-
ant's cars and a buggy -belonging to
Mr. Johnson. In July last the buggy
.was being driven in a. funeral proces
sion and was run into by a car at the
corner of Broadway and Eighth
streets. Mrs. Johnson, who is the
mother of the other plaintiff, was se
riously injured, and wants $10,000, and
Mr. Johnson wants $3,000 for damages
to the buggy, medical expenses, etc.
NEGLECT THE CHILDREN.
Judge AVillrich Hears a Peculiar
Family Revelation.
Judge Willrich in the probate court
yesterday listened to the peculiar rev-
elation regarding the mental, moral
and physical poverty of the Sayre fam
ily, living at Hamiine. H. H. Sayre is
about fifty-five years of age, and a
woman who lives with him as his wife,
but to whom he is not married, is
much younger. The woman is alleged
to be mentally weak and physically
tired, so that the 'two children of which
she is the mother are being brought up
—or, at least, are bringing themselves
up— under pitiable circumstances. Com-
plaint was made to the court for the
purpose of having 'the children taken
away from the parents and placed in
some institution where they could be
cared for, and this is how the matter
happened to be aired before Judge
Willrich yesterday.
It was shown to the court that the
woman kept herself in a slovenly con-
dition, half-dressed, and the children
were always on the verge of naked-
ness. Clothing had been sent by ladies
connected with charitable societies,
but It had not been used. Mr. Sayre
complained to the court that the cloth-
ing did not fit. The eldest child is
three and the youngest two years of
age, and the latter is malformed, his
legs being so weak he cannot stand
on them.
Judge Willrich .ordered the smaller
child sent to St. Luke's hospital to
receive treatment for a time, and ad-
vised Rev. Mr. Savage, of the chil
dren's home, and M. L. Hutchins, of
the Humane society, to keep an eye
on the future conduct of the parents.

WEYERHAUSER BUYS LAND.
Crosby Farm Purchased Possibly
for a. Mill Site.
The Crosby farm, extending from the
river bank to Mendota and including
some very valuable property, is now
practically under control of the Wey-
»erhauser syndicate, which has fur-
nished the money to keep It from being
taken under a mortgage foreclosure.
It having been known that Mr. Wey-
erhauser was desirous of securing a
good saw mill site, the inference was,
when It became known that the prop
erty had passed under control of the
syndicate, that was the object to
which, it was to be put. A reporter of
the Gto b e saw Mr. Weyerhauser last
night and asked him as to this.
"I do not know definitely what has
been done," said Mr. Weyerhauser. "I
have been away and just returned
home. I know that when I went away
I left $15,000 with Capt. McCartney and
Mr. Olmsted to buy the place In. As to
whether it is to be converted Into a
saw mill Bite or not depends upon other
contingencies. I have been on the look
out for a long time for a good mill site,
but in order to make this available for
that purpose a railroad would have to
be built up to it, and it might be a diffi
cult matter to secure a right of way."
"A road could be built along the river
bank on the other side, could it not?"
was asked.
- "Yes, It could be cut through the
sandstone where the bank is very ab
rupt, but the question Is, will the
owners of the property along the route
be willing to let it go through. How
ever, It is too early to say much about
It yet, for we have not even secured
the ownership of the property yet. We
simply hold It as security. But we
have a boom on the side of the river,
which is located on the property."

If the decision of Judge Brill
If the decision of Judge Brill
stands, 'the practice. of the board of
county commissioners allowing com- i
pensation to members serving extra [
on the committee on roads and
bridges has not been lawful since the '
passage of the law. of ISB9. The de- ,
cision was filed yesterday in the
mandamus suit of Peter Daly, ex- I
county commissioner, to compel the
county treasurer to pay a warrant *
for $21 issued to him for services
as a member of the committee on
roads and bridges, in 1894. Judge
Brill denies the application for a
writ of mandamus, attaching to his
order, the following memorandum:
"The number' of county commis- '
sioners for Ramsey county, the man-
ncr of their election, the term of
their office, etc., are prescribed by 1
chapter 73 of the General Laws of j
1871. -This act made no special pro-
vision for their compensation, which i
was fixed by a general law at $3 j
per day for each day they were nee- '
essarily employed intransacting the !
county business, not exceeding twen- 1
ty days in any one year, and mile-
age. (Gen. Stat. 1866, C. 8, Sec. 92.) . j
"Chapter 216 of the Special Laws of j
1878, which was entitled 'An act to j
regulate and establish the salaries \
and fees of certain officers in Ramsey
county,' contained : this provision,
among others in section 1: 'The sal- .
ary and compensation of the county
commissioners of said county shall
be $100 each per year, and no more;
and such number as shall serve on
the board of equalization, the sum
of $3 per day for each day's service,
not exceeding twenty days in one
year.' ■-; -v yyy: -.")
"The legislature had provided by '■■■
the Special Laws of 1876, chapter. 212.
that the county commissioners of
Ramsey county should select from
their number three persons, the com-
mon council of the city of St. Paul f.
four persons, and these, with the
county auditor, city assessor and'
mayor of the city and one township
assessor, should constitute the board
of equalization of the county, and
that each member of the board of
equalization should be paid $3 per
day for each day's actual service.
"In 1887 the legislature passed an
act entitled 'An act to establish the
salaries of certain officers of Ramsey
county.' This act fixes the salaries
of various officers of the county, and
section 6 is as follows: 'The county
commissioners of Ramsey county are
authorized to pay the members of
the committee on roads and bridges
$3 per day for each day actually em
ployed in the examination of county
roads, and the superintending of
work on said roads, the accounts for
said service to -be rendered under
oath as to the actual service, and
not to exceed thirty days in any one
year.'
"In 1889 the legislature passed an act,
which is chapter 374 of the Special Laws
of that year, entitled 'An act to regu-
late and fix the salaries of the county
commissioners of Ramsey county.' This
act provides that 'the county commis
sioners of Ramsey county for the faith-
ful discharge of their duties shall each
receive $300 per annum, . payable in
equal monthly installments out of -the
county treasurer, of said county.' Sec-
tion 2 provides that 'all acts and parts
of acts inconsistent with the provisions
of this act are hereby repealed.'
"The county commissioners have
general supervision of county roads,
including the opening, Improvement
and vacation of the same. It is con
ceded by counsel that there is no allu
sion In the statutes to any committee
on roads and bridges, save that con-
tamed in the law of 1887 above referred
to. It Is also to be noticed that re-
lator's appointment was 'on a commit-
tee to examine the roads of said coun
ty.' Unlike the ; services rendered by
a member of the board, of equalization
appointed by the board of county com
missioners, whatever service the rela
tor rendered was as a county commis
sioner simply. It does not appear what
the precise duties of. the committee on
roads and bridges were. The examina
tion of county roads, if a duty at all,
was a duty to be performed by the
commissioners as such. . The appoint-
ment of a committee was perhaps
proper.but was a matter of convenience
simply. yy-yyyy y.:ry:^y

: As- it Is understood that Congress-

the Glencoe veteran was, doubtless,

home after many years of service. ;.**.'

ing to advices received here from Con-
stantinople, a most serious condition of
affairs exists there. There seems to be
no doubt that the report of the dis
covery of a plot against the palace on
Monday evening last Is correct. In
Anatolia, the feeling of discontent
against the rule of the Sultan is be
coming so marked that important
events are expected to take place
shortly. The fusion of the Mussulman
and Armenian committees is believed to
be imminent, and it is said upon good
authority that a joint revolutionary
manifesto will shortly be Issued.
The news has been received in Con-
stantinople of fresh disturbances ln
Erzeroum, Orfah and Zeitun. Fifty
persons have been killed and wounded
at Erzeroum.
