OF HELPING MURDER MILLER
Arguments in the Ca«e Have Been
Made and the Jury Deliberating
on a Verdict—Story of the Con
spiracy to Enter the Jail Forcibly
and Give the Dead Man Lib
erty.
LITCHFIELD, Minn., Feb. 15. — (Spe
cial.)— The court is nearing~the end in the
trial of Brost. The arguments by coun
sel are being made today, and it is likely
the case will be given to the jury this
evening. The general opinion on the out
side is that Brost will be acquitted, and
at the same time the general public be
lieves that Miller met his death by foul
means.
When John Dougherty, one of the de
fendants, was cross-examined a story
was brought out of the conspiracy to
forcibly enter the jail and give Miller hi 3
liberty. The witness said that he and
Charles Brost, now on trial, planned to
get Miller out of his dilemma on Tuesday
night. The latter was to catch the night
train and leave the country forever.
Brost and Dougherty went to a black
smith shop.,- where they secured a pair of
bolt-cutters for the purpose of cutting
the chain bolt that locked the door of the
jail. When they arrived at the jail fence
Brost went Inside and called to Miller
twice without getting 'an answer. The
witness, who was standing on the outside
of the fence, heard some one approaching,
gave the alarm and ran off. The witness
saw Marshal Kickbush and a second man
go to the jail, and later saw them running
away. Dougherty followed them and ask
ed Kickbush what was up. Kickbush^ said
"the man is dead." Kickbush went for
Dr. Ridgway and witness walked toward
the jail, but met Brost and told him what
he had heard. The witness saw Mr. Ridg
way examine the body and heard him
pronounce the man dead. Kickbush ask
ed the witness to act as "watch" that
night, and the witness did so.
William Kickbush, marshal, the next
witness, made a long statement of the ar
rest of Miller and his appearance before
the Justice, and of different circumstances
leading down to the discovery of Miller's
dead body, all of which had been repeat
edly covered in previous evidence. Casper
Schmidt, husband of the woman with
whom Miller was intimate, swore he was
not in Eden Valley the night of the alleg
ed crime later than 8:15 o'clock. Other
witnesses at this juncture were John E.
Saver, a general merchant, and John
Carney.
C. A. Brost, the defendant, was the last
witness, and was on the stand an hour
and a half. He is thirty-eight years of
age, was born in Wisconsin, and has been
a resident of Eden Valley four years.
He told of his relations with Miller and
of his efforts to effect the latter's escape.
Miller sent for him on several occasions,
en all of which he found the prisoner
very nervous and excitable and greatly'
discouraged. He and Miller had been
good friends for some time.
QUESTION OF RIGHT RAISED.
Important Issue 1 p In the Wing
Murder Trial at Albert Lea.
ALBERT LEA, Minn., Feb. 15—(Spe
cial.) —Slow progress was made in 'the
Wing murder trial today as the defense
objected to the introduction as evidence
of the writ with' which Chief of Police
Sullivan was clothed when he went with
the special policemen of the board of
health to remove young Wing; to-Oie de
tention hospital. Attorney General
Douglas and Hon. L. French contested
the questions at issue and late this after
noon Judge Kingsley said he would ren
der a decision tomorrow morning. The '
defense attacks t!he validity ot the law
as well as the acts of the justice issuing
the commitment, the action of the, board
of health and the police officers actlng <
for that body. If the question is decided'
for the defendant It will be a severe
blow to the prosecution. The witnesses
examined today were the carpenters who
built the hospital, members of the board
of health at the time of the killing of
Randall, and Chief of Police Sullivan,
and it was while he was testifying that
the legality of the writ came into ques
tion.
KEHR MURDER CASE.
The Jury Deliberating on the Fate
of Four Men.
LA CROSSE, Wis., Feb. 15.-(Special.)-
After a sixteen-day trial the Kehr mur
der case was put into the hands of the
jury this afternoon. District Attorney
Morris made an eloquent closing argu
ment, after which Judge Wyman pre
sented lengthy instructions to the jury.
Owing to the vast amount of evidence
submitted and the fact that the guilt or
innocence of four men is at stake, it Is
not probable that a verdict will be agreed
upon before tomorrow.

a produce merchant. Plaintiff alleges he
was maliciously libeled by an article in
the Chronicle stating that he had been
selling bogus butter. He asks for $10,000.

VOLUNTEERS CAN SHOOT.
Lord George Hamilton, secretary of
state for India, speaking at Chlswk-k this
evening on the war, said that one lesson
to be learned was the fact that a volun
teer force could use the long range rifle
ami cannon, and could, in a fortified po
sition, hold their own against any force.
This meant that if volunteers are prop
erly organized in England, a successful
Invasion of the country would be an im
possibility. It also meant that if prop
er use was made of the mountainous
frontier of India, the bigger the hostile
army that got within those mountains,
the larger would be the graveyard they
would make there.

GOVERNMENT TRIUMPHS.
E-ventfol Day and Significant
Speeches In British Parliament.
LONDON, Feb. 15.—The house of com
mons this evening adopted the govern
ment's military scheme by a vote of 239
against 34, the minprity consisting chiefly
of Irish members.
In the house- of lords the Earl of Dun.
raven raised a question as to the gov
ernment military reports. The war of
fice, said he, had not fully realized the
gravity of the situation and he doubted
the adequacy of the measures taken. He
also doubted whether the "paper" force
of 409,000 men existed in Great Britain.
Lord Rosebery said he had the fullest
confidence in the British soldier when h»
was fully trained, but it took months of
preparation. "There is a crisis in South
Africa," said Lord Rosebery, "but we
must riot keep our eyes on South Africa,
alone. Last December the government
made urgent overtures to great powers, .
Germany and the United States, for aa
alliance, but these overtures were not re
ceived "with a cordiality to give encour.
agement. As to Russia, events have
been recently accomplished in Persia
about which England should have had
something to say, but which she passed
unnoticed. It is necessary for the gov
ernment to grasp flfie situation and
make large preparations. If Great
Britain should lose South Africa she
would lose the most important base out
side of the United Kingdom and soon
would lose that colonial support which
has been given, because the colonies hay©
believed that they were associating them
selves with a powerful empire, and thus
the empire would break away from us.
If this be not a life and death crisis
I do not know what is."
The Earl of Kimberley, the Liberal
leader, said he felt the danger of the sit
uation equally with Lord Rosebery. Al
though he would not ascribe a direct
hostile intention to Russia at the- present
moment, he said that he could not over
look the fact that there was a movement
of troops in progress which, if not men
acing, showed that possibilities of the
future were not absent from the Rus
sian mind.
The Marquis of Salisbury, the premier,
in the course of his reply for the govern,
ment, said:
"I cannot enter upon what guides the
Russian government or the course it is
likely to take, nor can I discuss the
health of the ameer of Afghanistan. A*
to whether our forces are adequate to
the task Jn South Africa, or whether
it is true the government has already
been too late and neglected opportunities
I would gladly welcome an exchange
provided the words would not go beyond
the chamber. The present troubles are
not due to the expansion of the empire,
but to miscalculations made in 1881 and in
1884. Our forefathers were not dis
couraged by bad beginnings, and we
should follow their example, and not be
cast down. The government is con
vinced now, as they always have been,
that the issue will be brought to a suc
cessful conclusion. Ido not think any
advantage is to be obtained from taking
a gloomy view."
WASHINGTON. Feb. 16.—The state
ment of Earl Rosebery that in December
overtures were made to the United States
for an alliance Is not substantiated here.
i Officials of the administration are at a
loss to understand the report and express
I the opinion that some mistake has oc
j curred. So far as the United States is
concerned they declare no offer of an al
liance has been made, but they could not
say anything about Germany, to which
country, according to the London dis
patch, overtures for an alliiance were
made at the same time.
Spencer Wilkinson's Comment.
LONDON, Feb. 16.—Spencer Wilkinson,
in the Morning Post, today, discusses the
advisability of forming Tenth, Eleventh
and Twelfth divisions, and sending them
to the Cape to be ready for emergency,
as well as the formation and training at
I home of as many other battalions as
possible. He says:
"Lord Rosebery's speech in the house
of lords probably echoes the public feel
ing and the universal temper, and it will
do great good in arousing the country.
Lord 1 Rosebery is to be congratulated on
urging the necessity of - preparing the
navy."
