DEATH IT MUST BE.
The Court Inflicts the Su
preme Penalty on Young
Pete Barrett.
Though Seventeen Years of
Age and a Mere Acces
sory, He Dies.
The Boy Says It Will Be Found
Out Some Time He Is
Innocent.
Erwin's Strong Plea of No
Avail— Scenes in the
Court Room.
Pete Barrett, too, must hang.
When Judge Lochren took his seat on
the bench yesterday afternoon to pass
sentence on Peter Barrett for the kill
ing of Thomas Tollefson the court room
Was crowded to its utmost capacity,
and a large crowd was out in
the halls who were unable to
gain an entrance to the court room.
On one side of the table sat Peter Bar-
rett and his counsel,
W. W. Erwin and
John T. Byrnes, and
on the other, county
attorney and his as
sistant. On the bench
sat Judges Lochren,
Kea and Hicks. A
few minutes after 2
o'clock Mr. Erwin
arose and thanked
the court for the
courtesy shown him
in the continuance of
the case, until he could be present.
win's plea.
lie said : "The power which the legis
lature has given to the court to amelior
ate, for just and humane reasons, the
death penally is one of the most re
splendant evidences of our modern
civilization. An endeavor was once
made to change our present system
to that old one, of a life for a life, but
the spirit of our people would not per
mit it. The legislature committed to
the judiciary the most important func
tion, involving the judgment of saying
what in each case shall be the penalty
of murder in the hist degree. This
ameliorating power is to be exercised
whenever a case possesses exceptional
circumstances, and the spirit of our law
•supposes that the death penalty will
not be affixed where there are excep
tional circumstances. Every circum-
Btance in this poor boy's case is excep
tional. He has nowhere shown that he
has reached that hardened point in
criminality where there is no longer
any hope of his redemption, and that he
Is only fit to be hung up, as a horrible
example to his fellow men. It is ex
ceptionable that an accomplice was en
abled to swear away this boy's life in
order to save his own. lt was excep
tional that the jury should hesitate to
bring in the verdict after finding him
guilty, and hesitate to discuss
whether it would not be well
to ask the mercy of the court
in his behalf, lt is exceptional that
the sentiment of the people should be
lieve that this youth should be shown
mercy. Take the evidence of the ac
complice whom the jury saw fit to be
lieve without any corroboration. He
says that this boy did not shoot at Tol
lefson, but states that after Tollefson
had grabbed this boy's revolver, he was
told to let go and that he
would pot be harmed, and after
he refused that in trying to
pull it away it was discharged, but that
(inly a flesh wound was caused by the
discharge, and that was not in a vital
part of the body. After the defendant
had wrenched his revolver from Tollef
son, although the other chambers were
loaded, he ran away without discharg
ing them, showing that murder was uot
Intended.
"Again, if we stood here under the
old Judean law, which* demanded a
life for a life, this boy would still be
entited to mercy. For, although Thomas
Tollefson is dead,.the man who, accord
ing to your finding, fired the fatal shot,
has been sentenced by you to suffer the
death penalty, and, even under that old
law, that would be considered sufficient.
The death penalty does not stop crime,
for it has been the experience of man
for ages that behind the gallows tree is
where crime breeds."
At the conclusion of Mr. Erwin's re
marks there was a dead silence. Not
even a whisper was heard from the im
mense throng which had crowded into
the court room. The silence became
oppressive before the county attorney
fipoke.
DAVIS DEMURS.
After a short time Mr. Davis arose
end said: "What I shall have to say

calm, deliberate thought. The duty of
this court is as, plain . now as it was the
duty of the jury who found the defend
ant guilty, and points clearly to
the penalty which shall deprive the
defendant of his life. The law is

that because a man's hands have never
before been reddened by human blood
or because an accomplice's testimony is
that which the jury are readiest t> be
lieve, was such a reason. It is a pleas
ant thing to plead for mercy; another
thing to stand before court and jury and
say, 'be firm.'
"This was a cold-blooded crime, com
mitted for money, and it seems that in
asmuch as the spirit of the law is to
prevent others from like crimes, this
court has no right to make this case,
u.-nler the circunJstances,a precedent for
unwise lenity in the future. With a
full sense of my responsibility, I ask
the court to affix to this ciim • the pen
alty the law prescribes— the penalty of
death."
tiik court's REASONS.
Judge Lochren then said : "The duty
of this court is to administer the law as
it finds it on the statute book. The
legislature only has to do "with the pol
icy of the law. As to the punishment
for murder in the first degree,
there have been some changes.
It has been said that the
penalty for the highest crime
should be certain. For murder in the
first degree the penalty is death, unless
the court shall certify that for excep
tional circumstances it be imprison
ment for life. The law gives the court
no power of mercy. The question is,
have any exceptional circumstances of
the kind which the law recognizes ap
peared in this case? , The exceptional
circumstances must relate to the offense
or the party at the time of the commis
sion of the offense; they cannot relate
to the trial or the evidence. It is prob
able that neither party to this crime de
termined at the time that he would
commit more than robbery, but the
fact that the robbery was with
a deadly weapon shows that taking lite
was contemplated. There is no excep
tional circumstance here. As to the age
of this defendant, the law says that
children under seven cannot commit
crime; from seven to twelve, leaves
their criminality tothe jury; but over
twelve, makes no exceptions. The
heinousness and the consequences of
the crime he was committing, this de
fendant knew perfectly well. We have
been unable to find any exceptional cir
cumstances in this case such as the law
requires. The only exceptional circum
stance is its atrocity."
County Attorney Davis moved for sen
tence, and the court continued:
."The majesty of the law demands that
the punishment of the wicked be sure .
and speedy. In this case it is death and
it becomes my painful duty to pronounce
that penalty upou you, Peter Barrett,
stand up."
Barrett was very pale as he rose and
stood at the bar.
"Have you anything to say why the
sentence of death should not be passed
upon you?" asked CJerk Terrill.
"1 am not guilty, and it will be found
out some time," answered the prisoner
in a firm voice.
SENTENCED TO PJE.
Judge Lochren then pronounced the
following sentence: "It is adjudged
that you, Peter Barrett, convicted of
murder in the first degree, be taken
hence to the county jail and there con
fined for the space of three calendar
months from to-day and then, at a time
to be fixed by the governor, you be
taken thence to the place of execution,
and hanged by the neck till you are
dead."
A QUORUM FINALLY.
Park Commissioners Hold a Meet-
ins;— Future Plans Discussed.
The park commission finally secured
a quorum yesterday which resembled a
Democratic caucus, as Byron Suther
land was the only Republican present.
The clerk of the board reported a letter
received from Commissioner E. M. Wil
son in regard to the bonds for the Moul
ton property, asking that no action
should be taken before his return, and
assuring the board that it will be pro
tected from loss. The application of
James E. Holdridge for the privilege of
letting boats at Lake of the Isles, was
referred to the committee on privileges.
Pay rolls amounting to $607.40 and
claims amounting to $102,380 were or
dered paid. The committee on winter
sports was authorized to dispose of the
temporary buildings erected. Supt.
Berry was authorized to purchase 1,500
trees for the Lyndale and Kenwood
bou levards. Seats were ordered for the
South Minneapolis parks, and a water
main on Twenty-sixth avenue north,
between Lyndale and Washington
avenues, was ordered for supplying
Prospect park. It was decided that
trees for streets will be supplied prop
erty owners and planted at cost to those
making application by April 1. The
board meets again next Saturday, when
it is expected the committee on privi
leges will report concerning the im
provements of Lake Harriet. There
was a good deal of informal discussion
concerning provisions for amusements
at Lakes Calhoun and Harriet in sum
mer. From the opinions expressed, it
is likely that large public bath houses
will be erected at each of the lakes.
ALL SORTS.
It is understood that Elmer E. Adams,
managing editor of the Fergus Falls
Journal, has been offered the position
of chief editorial writer on the Minne
apolis Evening Journal, a bright, newsy
paper that is rapidly pushing its way to
the front. Mr. Adams is a gentleman
of ripe political experience, an old resi
dent of the state, a deep thinker and a
polished writer.
A sense of relief is experienced in the
thought that W. W. Satterlee and Evert
Nymanover have returned and will act
as'ballast to the good ship Minnesota
through the next campaign,
The absence of the usual cartoon (?)
in the Journal last evening would indi
cate that there was some truth in the
statement that the gifted young artist,
J. H. Cook, has been hired by Harper's
Weekly.
The Osgoodby family of Albany, N.
V., is remarkable for the height of its
different members. One of the boys,
while on trial recently for using the
mails for swindling purposes, gave the
following testimony: "I was ten years

SAINT PAUL, MINN., SUNDAY MORNING, MARCH 4, 1888.— EIGHTEEN PAGES.
INFANT INDUSTRIES,
Gorged With Gold and Standing With Both Feet on the Workingman,
Still Cry for More Protection.
IT SHOWS UP VERY STRONG
The Evolution of School Building in
Minneapolis.
THE FIRST AND THE LAST.
Washington School in 1865 and in 1888
—Apt Illustration of
Growth.
HE evolution of
school buildings
in Minneapolis is
among the most
remarkable of the
elements of the
city's growth and
prosperity. It is
the most noticea
ble, too, from the
fact that it is all
within the recol
lection of a man
of middle age.
Take the first
building Minne
apolis ever erect-
Ed for school purposes and tnen tne
most recent one, and the gap between
them can be easily supplied by the
memory of a man of thirty-five, In this
time from one building to forty; from
$3,000 to over $3,000,000; that is what it
represents. The first school building
Minneapolis had was her pride and joy.
It was erected in 1857, and was of yel
low brick, and when visitors from the
city of St. Anthony came across the
river to see how the infant metropolis
was coming along they were taken out
and shown the Union school. It was
not a pretentious structure by any
means, but it was a real brick school
house, with primary, grammar and
high schools all in one, and it was all
Minneapolis had. It stood on the Wash
ington school site— now the city and
county building site— was the build
ing of the city. The boys entered the
basement on one side and the girls on
the other, the summons pealing out
from the old bell in the belfry. In 1865
the Union school burned. The fire was
incendiary, it was thought, but why or
wherefore no one could imagine. The
first school was blotted out and Wash
ington school took its place. At the
same time several other school houses
were projected and the school idea re
ceived the impetus it has not lost up to
to-day. "7 ; :
The old Washington school was the
first educational building Minneapolis
erected, and the new Washington school
is the latest. The contrast shows
the progress Minneapolis -has
made. On the corner of Sixth
street and Eighth avenue south I
is the new building a model of a mod- '
crn school structure. It will cost about l
$50,000, and is one of the forty hue
school buildings of which the' city has !
reason to be proud. These two— the
first and last— Washington school build
ings show the great strides .the city lias
made in the matter of schools. From
that small beginning the city has now
forty school buildings, representing, a
value of over $3,000,000. Tho High
school property alone is worth $225,000,
and several of the individual buildings
and grounds are worth $60,000. The en
rollment of school children : has ■ crept
up from 125 to 18,000, and the teachers
from: three to 375. - This is in about
twenty years. If the proportion should
hold out, in twenty years . we would
have 37,500 teachers and 2,700,000 school
children.
CRIMINAL COURT -WANTED
To Handle Small Cases and Re-
lieve the Other Courts.
That the district court is overbur
dened with business, and has been for
several years past,, every one who has
business there knows only too well.
The machinery is completely clogged,
the cases which are causing all the
trouble being in the main petty
criminal ones, or civil ones in which
only a small amount is involved.
Within the last year or so the number
has become so great that a large pro
portion of them has been dis
missed or nollied; consequently,
offender after offender roes scott free
simply because the distiict court cannot
find time to attend to the case, when
matters of much more importance are
continually arising. Various lawyers
of the city have been discussing the
matter pretty thoroughly lately, and
there is now a move to put a bill into'
the legislature next winter providing
for the establishing in Minneapolis of a
special criminal court. This ; court will
be really the municipal court; but no
civil cases will be tried there. The
criminal court will try all criminal cases
that are now tried in 7 the district
court, such as selling liquor, on-
Sunday, illegal ' liquor selling,
larceny, and the like, thus relieving the
district court fiom a" lot of business
which properly belongs to the city, and
not to the county. Of course, all big
criminal cases, such as murder, and the
like, would be tried in the district court.
In short, the criminal court would try
all cases where the penalty is confine
ment in the county jail or the peniten
tiary for short periods. Then there
would be a municipal court where civil
cases, involving amounts of $500 or un
der, would be tried. Such a plan would
take away the small cases from the.
district court and allow a proper,
disposition of the many important
cases constantly coming in. City offi
cers are expected to look up all the il
legal liquor selling cases as the matter
stands now, but under the new arrange*
meitt the city will receive the money
paid in as fines instead of the county.
It is probable that an amendment will
be made to the Ives liquor law at the
coming session of the legislature, giv
ing justices of the peace and the munici
pal court jurisdiction, which they have
not now because, the penalty provided
for convictions under that law are more
severe than the justices or the munici
pal court can inflict.
SMELL, NOT TASTE.
A Chicago Drummer "Who Learne d
Something About Liquor.
"I'll bet I can tell 'doctored' whisky
from the straight stuff every time,"
said a modest.Chicago drummer, whose
face seemed to bear out his assertion.
"How do you tell?" asked one of a
group to whom the remark was ad
dressed. ".,'-'•■'*■' ••:■'"•£ ■;.•'■••'•
"Why, by the taste of the liquor."
"I guess you don't know what you are
talking about," responded an agent for
a wholesale liquor house; "it's the smell
that tells you." *, ■'*■>•■& v
It is hardly necessary to repeat the
argument that followed, which led to
an interesting test with some rather
surprising results.
The party embraced a saloonkeeper^
two traveling agents for liquor houses;
a well-known livery man and a doctor.
Each was .in turn blind-folded, and re
quired to hold his nose tightly. Then
he was given a "finger" of a half-dozen
kinds of liquor, including rye,
bourbon, gin, rum, brandy, and
was asked to .-= ' name tfcem..
The result of the test was simply ridic
ulous. Gin was pronounced whisKy and
whisky gin, brandy and rum were mis
taken for each other, and only two could
tell water. The test went even further.
A slice of raw onion was given each and
they were asked what it was, and , only
one could answer correctly. Of '*: course
each was asked conscientiously to hold
his nose tightly and pronounce his ver
dict before he let go. It is unnecessary
to add that the Chicago drummer
learned something, and that the whisky
man's claim that it is the ; smell and not
the taste that ; aids -in the . detection of
liquor was made good. - . -•- ■>.
LIGHT, DAINTY HANDS
But They Have Apparently
Stolen Valuable Laces and
Diamonds.
Two Women Under Arrest and
Their Residence Thor
oughly Searched.
Mrs. Curtiss in a New Role
and Now Associated With
a Partner.
A Trunk Filled With the
Choicest Silks, Jewelry
and Hosiery.
There was a big sensation in the po
lice court yesterday morning when two
handsomely dressed women, wearing
sealskin sacks and covered with dia
monds, were arraigned, charged with
larceny by Miss Mary Blaisdell, a mil
liner doing business at No. 800 Nicollet
avenue. These two women responded
,to the names Margaret Curtiss and
Charlotte Campbell. They did not
manifest much uneasiness when called
up, and waived examination. They
were then placed under bonds of 1500
each to appear March 9. Their bonds
man is a well-known bank official.
A BARE STORY.
The arrest of these two women has
led to remarkable and decidedly sensa
tional developments, which may ex
plain to some extent why the profits of
some of the big dry (roods houses were
not larger during the past winter. Miss
Blaisdell charges the women with steal
ing from her two holts of ribbon,
valued at $30, on the afternoon of the
Ist day of March. On that afternoon
Mrs. Curtiss and Mrs. Campbell en
tered the store of Miss Blaisdell and
asked to see some of the best ribbon in
, the store. Miss Blaisdell was out at the
time, and the ladies were waited
upon by one of. the em
ployes. While they were looking at
the ribbon, the clerk's attention was
called to another part of the store, and
ou her return Mrs. Curtiss said she
could find nothing to suit them, and
left. A few moments after the ladies
had gone the clerk missed the ribbon,
and at once informed W. B. Anderson,
a relative of Miss Blaisdell. Mr. An
derson, with the skill of a trained de
tective, at once went into the case and
soon found out where the two women
lived— at 2912 Ninth avenue south. He
found that they were preparing to leave
for Chicago Saturday morning, and
having a large-sized idea that they were
the ones who had stolen the ribbon
from Miss Blaisdell, procured a search
i warrant. . Then, accompanied by
Assistant Supt. Hoy, Inspectors Doyle
and Howard, he went to the residence.
This was after supper, and both Mrs.
■ Curtiss and Mrs. Campbell, and Mr**.
'Campbell's husband,' .were present. As
• the inspectors 7 entered the house Mrs.
Campbell made a wild rush for the up
stairs, but was stopped by Doyle. A
complete search of the house was then
made, resulting in - finding the bolts of
MRS. CURTISS.
ribbon taken from Mrs.Blaisdell's place.
.During the search both women grew
quite indignant at being .subjected to
the annoyance. They could not under
stand what the intrusion meant, they
said, and asked repeatedly what it was
all about. They manifested consider^
able uneasiness as the search prog
ressed, and once or twice endeavored to
induce the officers to desist by flattering
\ them. The search was a thorough one,
and did not stop at the finding of the
ribbon. Certain things aroused the
suspicions of the officers, and in look
ing around they found a huge trunk
filled with the choicest laces, silks and
valuable jewelry.
DIAMONDS WERE THERE
in great profusion, as were gloves, silk
hose, costly lace handkerchiefs, pocket
books and a thousand and one other
things. Several dresses covered with
costly la-je and more costly beads and
trimming were also found. The fur
nishings of the whole house were simply
magnlhcent, and the china closet was
tilled with rare dishes and fine cut glass
of every kind.
MRS. CAMPBELL.
*■ The two 7 women were placed under
j arrest and locked in the house, an
officer being left to guard them. They
took their arrest, coolly, however, and
•did not answer many of the < questions
put to them. They were arraigned
yesterday morning, as stated above, and
placed under $500 bonds, which they
'gave. The big trunk full of goods
was 7 taken to police headquarters,
where it - was visited ■: all :'="■ day long
/by the various dry. goods men of the
city. Many of them recognized articles
that had mysteriously disappeared from
their stores, and one gentleman recog
nized a pair of black silk hose, taken
from his store Friday about 6 o'clock.
There were huge rolls of lace, nearly
all of it of the finest quality, and from
this the firm's mark had in each case
been removed, thus rendering
identification difficult, if not impossi
ble. Among the articles found in the
trunk was a bottle containing a prepara
tion for removing ink writing. A con
siderable quantity Of this fluid had been
used. The merchants who recognized
goods found in possession of the two
women may swear out warrants against
them. -?.{'•
THE OLD TROUBLE.
It will be remembered that some
months ago Mrs. Curtiss figured in a
number of peculiar transactions with
money lenders and furniture dealers,
who charged her with defrauding them.
She obtained considerable notoriety at
the time, but Mrs. Campbell's name was
not mentioned in connection with the
affair. Mrs. Campbell is the wife of
W. B. Campbell, until recently in the
employ of one of the city banks. There
are a number of suits now pending
against Mrs. Curtiss, growing out of her
peculiar transactions last spring. Folds
& Griffith, the carpet and drapery fiwo,
have a suit against them coming up
Monday to recover goods claimed to
have been obtained under false pre
tenses. The value of the goods found
in the house is placed at about $1,000.
Mrs. Curtiss has been making trips to
Chicago all winter, and it was stated
yesterday that there was evidence on
hand to show that she had taken a trunk
full of goods with her every trip. She is
a married woman, but her husband is
not living here.
TWO DAMAGE SUITS.
Money Asked for a Life in One
Case and Injury in the Other.
Albion Trask, administrator of the
estate of George K. Trask, deceased, has
brought suit against Shotweil, Clerihew
& Lothman for $5,000. He states that
the deceased, who was in his em
ploy, was sent to the defendants'
warehouse to procure some goods
which had been purchased, and was
sent by the defendants into a dark,
dimly lighted room, in which there was
an open, unguarded elevator shaft, to
get the package of goods purchased. The
deceased, not knowing about the shaft,
fell down the same, and while lying
at the bottom, in the basement, the ele
vator descended, striking and injuring
him, so as to cause his death. The suit
is brought to recover damages for the
benefit of tho widow and a
young child of the deceased.
Frederick Christianson has comenced a
suit against the Minneapolis Glass com
pany for for $10,000 damages for in
juries received "while in the defendant's
employ. The plaintiff alleges that
the defendants employed him to
make wooden moulds, and while
engaged at his regular employ
ment, was, on the 11th of last
October, ordered to assist in transfer
ring oil from a tank on a railroad car to
the oil room. While iv the oil room
a lighted lamp was brought into
the room, by the direction of his em
ployer, which lamp ignited the fumes
from the oil, and caused an explosion,
which filled the room with fire and
burnt the plaintiff In a frightful man
ner, crippling him for life. v .
