Late this afternoon Messrs. Cormican
and Clark went to Judge Lochren 's res
idence to make application for habeas
corpus for William Williams, the St.
Paul murderer doqjtned to hang tonight.
Tho still outwardly calm and endeav
oring to preserve his air of unconcern
for the fate that impends, as the hour
for his execution approaches, Williams'
wonderful indifference is fast passing.
He shows the strain, and tho his ap
parent disregard of what awaits him
probably will remain with him in con

Spends Time in Prayer.
This afternoon Williams spent some
time with his spiritual, adviser. Rev.
Father Cushen. Tonight Father Cushen
will be with the man again and will
remain with him until his lite is ended.
The evening will be spent in prayer,
and after he mounts the gallows, soon
after midnight, he will hear another
prayer as the deputies are binding him
preparatory to springing the trap.
Williams' cell is on the first floor in
the dbrridor on the alley side of the

Story of Crime.
The state demands the life of Wil
liam Williams for the murder of John
Keller, a 16-year-old boy, on the morn
ing of April 13, 1905. It was charged
that he shot both John Keller and his
mother, Mrs. John Keller, in their
apartments at Reid court, but he was
tried only on the charge of killing the
boy.
Willia^ns, who was a plumber, was
teaching the boy his trade. Thdy had
gone to "Winnipeg and, other cities in
search of work. Keller's father had de
manded that John return to his home,
and he left Williams. The latter went
to the Keller home and demanded .lodg
ing. He was refused. He then asked
John to go to Winnipeg with him, and
upon the boy's refusal, he shot him in
bed.
Williams wrote a ,long article ex
plaining his connection with the ease
while jail. He declared he thought
the woman had done the shooting,
charging that she had been drinking.
a'B a unite
bo
ing in a newspaper controversy over
tho matters involved in my veto mes
sage, I canont afford to permit my atti
tude in the premises to be misrepresent
ed by special pleaders for the Patter
son contract. I have not criticized or
commented upon the course of the coun
cil in taking the course which it did at
its last meetiog. Neither did I have
any intention of keeping back from the
aldermen the grounds for my action
when I sealed the veto message and
placerl it in the hands of the city clerk.
Nearly all the facts and figures em
bodied in my message were used in the
council by Chairman Hertig of the gas
committee, and have been available for
weeks to anyone interested on either
side of the proposition, for I have dis
cussed them freely whenever the sub
ject was brought up before me. ThoBe
facts and figures were obtained from
official sources in both Cleveland and
Chicago, the statements concerning the
latter city having been secured by me
personally while in Chicago recently.
As to the economic value to the city of
the use of governors, I am perfectly
content to rest upon the expressed opin
ion of our own city gas inspector, whom
I assume to be fair, competent and
wholly distinterested when he says
there is little or none.
"The main, if not the only, point at
issue at the present time is whether the
terms of the Patterson contract are fair
and reasonable toward the city. In
the determination of that point the tax
payers are certainly far more inter
ested than I could possibly be except
as one of them. The whofc matter is
now in the hands of the city council for
a verdict and I have confidence that a
majority of that body will consider the
question on its merits and not allow
themselves to be diverted from the real
issuehave the rights of the city been
fully conserved in the street lighting
contract now under consideration!"
WHERE IS THE RING
MURDERED MAN WORE?
What became of a valuable diamond
ring that was worn by Magnus Seger
strom when he was killed by Alfred
Jorgenson, Feb. 3?
Ihat is the question asked by the
dead man's relatives, and which County
Attorney Al J. Smith and the police are
endeavoring to answer. After Seger
strom was struck down by Jorgenson
he was taken to the city hospital, and
after his death was taken to the
morgue, where the inquest was held.
None of the officials who had either
the injured man or the body in charge
has made any report of the diamond,
and its whereabouts is a deep mystery.
Whether or not the ring had anything
to do with the trouble that ended fa
tally is not known, but all possibilities
are being thoroly investigated by the
authorities.
Jorgenson's case will be taken up
by the grand jury when the inquisitors
convene next Wednesday. An indict
ment for manslaughter will probably
be returned and the defendant brought
to trial next term of the district court.

SECURE HOUSEKEEPER
Thru a story which appeared in
Journal last week. Mrs. Sara Dodd
and her 4-months-old baby are in a fair
way to secure a comfortable home.
When Mrs. Dodd read that a couple
of well-to-do Tanchers in North Da
kota wanted a respectable widow to
keep house for them and bring a little
order and comfort into their bachelor
home, she at once applied for further
information'to the Salvation Army, who
were the original recipients of the let
ter.
The headquarters staff is looking irio
the matter carefully and will send her
to the ranch if the applicants for a
housekeeper can show good references
and will deposit return transportation
with some bank where Mrs. Dodd jean
it in case she finds it necessary to
eave their ranch for any fault of theirs.

DR. J. B. HINGELEY REPORTS TO
METHODIST PREACHERS RE-
SULTS OF MONEY RAISING
WORK, Dr. J. B. Hingeley, secretary^ of the
general conference of the Methodist
church, read a paper this morning at
the Methodist ministers' meeting, on
the work of different societies for
"raising funds for the support rff su
perannuates." Dr. Hingeley was in
structed by the Northern Minnesota
conference last fall to raise $50,000 in
side of two years for the fund, and he
has already been,. successful in raising
$34,000. I view of this, the amount
set to be raised has been increased to
$100,000. Mr. Bradley, one of the in
fluential Duluth members of the church,
has contributed $25,000 to the fund.
The fund was started a few years ago
by a poor Anoka widow with a con
tribution of $3 and at the annual con
ference in Eveleth last fall the matter
was taken up again with the above re
sults. A board of trustees, composed

Police Superintendent J. Gr. Doyle
has received word that Joe Bean,
wanted here on a charge of grand lar
ceny, has been arrested in Seattle and
will be held until a Minneapolis officer
arrives. Bean and George Shipley are
accused of obtaining furs valued at
$400 from a department store on a
forged order..
Shipley was arrested as he was car
rying away the furs and was tried in
the district court three weeks ago. He
said that Bean had forged the note and
had told him to take it to the night
watchman at the store. He did so, and
after obtaining the furs was arrested.
Shipley claimed ignorance of the for
ery and the jury disagreed. He is now
ocked up in the county jail awaiting
another trial.
Bean disappeared immediately after
Shipley's arrest, and nothing was heard
of him until yesterday, when he was
picked up by the Seattle police. De

GATHERING THAT DREW GOV-
ERNMENT MONEY TODAY.
Simon Michelet, Indian agent at the
White Earth reservation, with his
clerk, Dan McDougal, and assistant
clerk, J. E. Perrault, both Indians,
were at Hotel Nicollet this morning,
making paryments for the government
to some twenty Indians who failed
to get allowances from Uncle Sam last
fall.
The writing-room on the second floor
of the hotel was converted into a pay
office, but from the appearance of the
applicants, few would guess they ha.l
any claim on the federal payrolls as
Indian wards. But two full-blooded
Indians appeared, to eighteen who had
but just enough Indian in their make
ups to claim an allowance. As long
as an individual can show any blood
connection with one of the White
Earth tribes, he is entitled to a share
of the funds.
Indian timber, an al
