f f Minneapolis News. IS GIVEN SIX YEARS Irwin A. Gardner Sentenced to Stillwater for Receiv ing a Bribe HE HAS NOTHING TO SAY To Be Given Ills Liberty on fIO.OOO Bond Pending Motion for a New Trial His Attorneys Con- fident of Reversal. The drama in which Irwin Gardner, the special police officer of the City of Min neapolis, was found guilty of accepting a bribe of $500 from "Billy" Edwards and "Link" Crops-man. "big mitt" ope rators, is rapidly drawing to a close. Gardner was brought before Judge Har rison at 12 o'clock yesterday to receive his sentence for the crime he had Com mitted. The judge asked him what busi ness he was engaged in. The defendant informed him that he hod been for the past three years a medical student of t Hamline university. He said that he was twenty-nine years of age. ■ . ■ . Judge Harrison then asked him if there was anything he "had to say why sen tence should not be passed at this time. i Gardner replied In the negative. The : Judge then sentencd Gardner as follows: •You have been Indicted and found guilty #:" receiving a bribe. It is considered and Adjudged by this court as punishment for that crime, that you be confined for six •fears at hard labor in the state's urison St Stillwater." Gardner received the sentence With no •Apparent concern, and as soon as the ordeal was over turned away from the ter and commenced chatting with his at torneys and friends, just as though roth &&* unusual had transpired. He was im mediately taken back tr» the jail by Capt. Alexander, and partook of his noonday deal in company with his attorneys. Will Stand Pat. Gardner is apparently buoyed up by the hope which his attorneys have given "him in relation to their chances for se curing a new trial, or in getting a re versal in the supreme court when the case Is submitted to that court, as it will be if they fail to show Judge Harrison wherein he has seriously erred in render ing decisions to which exceptions have been taken. From present indications it would ap pear as though Gardner would stand pat and say nothing regarding the trial now pending, that would incriminate any Of the men who are charged with having been connected with 'big mitt" , pernors in the euy. Many Were of the P opinion that Gardner was getting ready, 0 squeal* and now they are disappointed Gardner's bond, It is understood, will be ready to submit to the court on Moncay. ior SIC cS'l' 8, aPP^ved, which will be j lor $10,000, Gardner will ,%e given his lib erty pending the motion for a lew trial whithJ? *** 3PP. eal to the supreme court take X S^e attorneyS have **»«* to GREAT p~ ROYAL ARTISTS . % * * **■* ARTISTS.

CHARLES BARDEN BURIED ALIVE. Was Covered With Covins Sand in a Forty-Foot Well. "When the band of earnest workers who had labored heroically through | all the long night, and yesterday . forenoon in their endeavors to release Charles Bar den from his living tomb, where he was buried - beneath the sand of a caved in well forty feet below the surface, reached the object of their search, he had passed beyond 'recall. ... The dead body was taken out of the well yesterday at 12:20 p. m. and from all appearances he had. been dead for so eral hours. The accident happened about~3 o'clock, Friday afternoon, when Eaiden went into the well to cut off a p:pe that ran through it. In doing so he removed a couple of pieces of curbing, which allowed loose sand to run into the well, and the force of the sand loosened other parts of the curbing, and _ before, assistance arrived he was partially buried. 7. . _ . .. . . . A hastily constructed roof of loose, boards was placed over Barden's head, and in a short time he was completely entombed in a living grave. It then be came -necessary for the men to com mence at the top and remove the sand. In a short time the boards that had been placed over his head gave way owing to the great weight of the sand, and the unfortunate man was literally buried rlive. He remained alive, however, until 12 o clock Friday night, and the last words that he was heard to utter, when he was told to keep up his courage, was that "his trust was in the Lord." Nothing but praise on all sides can be 'heard for the work done by "Tom" teller, a paper hanger, who. at, the risk of losing his own life, went down into the well and worked continuously hour after hour filling bucket after bucket with sand to be drawn to the top.' He said, that he was confident that Barden was dead long before he reached him. as he had heard the death rattle in his to make himself believe that there might .to make imself believe that there might yet be one vital spark left when he should at last be recovered. At the well through all the long night were Barden's. parents, his two brothers and three sisters. They are all pros trated with grief. A purse of $70 was raised for Zeller by the Linden hills resi dents. MILLING COMBINE DISCREDITED.

Norm Kins Charged With Larceny and Accessory to Felony. Nathaniel W. King better known as "Norm" King, a detective, was yester day arraigned before Judge Simpson un der indictment of two charges. One. in dictment charges him with being acces sory to a felony, and the other charges i him with grand larceny. Both of these Indictments are based on the theft of a diamond stud from John S. Hooper, valued at $110, which occurred os March 1, 1901, at the Chicago" Great Western depot at the time the Roosevelt Rough Riders club was about to take xrfE ST. PAUL, GLOBE, SUNDAY, JUNE 15, 19&2. the train for the inauguration at Wash ington. :. 7, • Joun Reid and Harry Adams were ar rested on the charge, the third member of the gang managing to escape. Reid, the only | one who was tried, -was found guilty and. sentenced to. Stillwater for a long term of years. :7 The immunity secured for Adams is said to have. been brought about, through the good offices of Detective King. He is said to have concealed Adams' connec tion with the crime. . . - It Is also charged that the Hooper dia mond has been recovered and that De tective King retained it, " never turning it over to the owner. Johs Reid was brought over from 7 Stillwater ,and testi fied to these facts, 't is understood, be fore the grand jury, which was the rea son for the arrest of King on the charg es.' ?.. .-"■'■ ' '-•. -- . *-; '. ■- . :7 ''■ King pleaded "not guilty" to both counts, and his attorney, Victor Welch, was given until next Tuesday to prepar a demurrer to the indictment or with - draw the plea.

There was very little new or startling i testimony introduced at the bribery case of Christopher C. Norbeck yesterday.^ "Billy" Edwards was on the stand' most of the day, • both in - the direct and cross examination. He was the same "positive witness as when. testifying in the Gard ner trial. :" - "7-7' When he was turned over to Attorney - Erwln . for ' cross-examination he was seemingly much more at ease than when he passed through that trying ordeal the -first-time the noted attorney had an op | portunty to cross-examine him. He was direct and positive In his answers to all questions, and .at no time was he 1 dis concerted. He told of . his _ agreements with Norbeck and the part which the de tective had played in the role of accom plice to Edwards and Crossman in their operations to "skin suckers" under po lice protection. ;'.. ; 7 .7, ...7 : : : Norbeck sat beside -his attorneys and, displayed very little concern In the case as it advanced or in the retial of "Billy "i Edwards, which story,--if believed by the jurors, certainly, means that he will at least be deprived of . his liberty for a term of years.' ... 7 . : . The story told by Edwards implicates . Norbeck very closely with operations of the "big mitters," and .relates the fact that he was around their joints most of. the time when he. was supposed to be doing duty as an officer "of the city. [ Attorney Erwin again made an unsuc cessful attempt to find out the exact lo cation of the "ledger," In which the firm of Edwards and Crossman were suppos ed to have kept their accounts. 7his is the book that the defense is very anxious to get hold of, as they think that it con tains evidence which would be of much benefit to them. Their attempts to se cure it were just as futile as they were on the former trial, and the book at the pres ent time is safely lodged, no one seems to know where. : During the afternoon Attorney Erwiu tried at different times to impeach the testimony of Edwards, given at .the Gardner trial, but all of his attempts proved miserable failures, as Edwards had just as good and retentive a j mem ory for the truth this time as he had . on his former investigation, and would tell almost word ior word the story he told before. ; "'- Finally Mr. Erwin gave the matter up, and said he was through with the "3V ness. Detective Harvey was then called by "the state. rfis testimony directly connected Norbeck with a $275 draft deal that the "big mitt" operators had been instrumental in separating . from one of the "innocents." - Attorney Loomis was also called, and he testified to a conversation which he had relative to a draft he had and was trying to collect for Orriru Crossman, and he said that Norbeck toll him that when the draft was collected that he (Norbeok) was to receive $25 out of It. . I,oomis told him that he knew nothing about any such arrangements, and that was a mat ter he would have to settle with Cross man direct. It is understood that the state has a number of star witnesses which they are going to place on the stand, and that the case against^. Norbeck is a much stronger one than they had against Gardner. The court room was filled with people interested in the matter, and through the extreme, beat many stool up the entire day. The case will be le sumed Monday morning at 9 o'clock.
