REV. T. H. DAHL Special to The Journal. Henderson, Minn., June 20.—:C, R. Davis of St. Peter made the closing argument for the state in its case against Jrank Tanke. In opening he said that the Time clausing between the murder and arrest of Tanke and Mrs. Tanke nearly three^years after- wards did not argue against the guilt of the parties arrested. The arrest was the result of an investigation carried on since the perpetration of the deed. The perpe- trators had covered up their tracks as best they could. The defendant and his wife had at first'endeavored to shift guilt to the matf Thorn. The fact that as soon as matters were hushed up, Tanke and-Mrs. Wellner were married appeared suspicious. Before the arrests had been made the-testimony o? men like Stolz, jvho saw Tanke get off the train at New Ulm, Herzog -who saw ljim near the river, Wilmert, Bieraugel and others had 'been obtained. 1 In regard to the rumored bad reputation of Coleman and Whitney, who have figured promi- nently in the case, he said that if these reports were true the defense shuld have endeavored to impeach their reputation for truth and veracity, but it had failed to do so. He endeavored to riddle the story of the alleged shooting as related by Mrs. Wellner. The fact that the body was found stretched out face downward. looked as if the murderer had carefully arranged the corpse. The shot in the back, caus- ing almost instant death, would have caused Wellner to collapse in a heap. The second shot in the head was fired after he fell and to make sure of death. Mrs. Wellner was »tied' with a rope, but not so that she could not have tied her- self. She was careful that her mother should see the rope tied to one wrist.- This, looked supecious. In regard) to Tanke's story that he got to New Ulm at 8 o'clock, he had told Sheriff Block, Mr. Davis said, that he arrived there at: 7:30 p. m. He had quibbled about the b^ack suit. Raftmen and Sauer testified that Tanke had said that night: 'Tve killed ope and might as well kill ..another." Tanke had denied the statement. Whose statement would the jury believe?- If Tanke had committed murder he would not hesitate to perjur*e himself in his own defense. "The state did not show how Tanke got back to the Wellner farm to commit -the murder, but he had time to return by 8 o'clock or shortly after. The two shots were heardX, by William Dan- heim. ~ - Wilmert had seen Tanke ride to Klbss- ner station on a bay mare. The defense had endeavored to break up Wilmert's story by the testimony of Professor Lea- 'venworth, wHo stated that the moon did not rise until 8:43 p. m., but according to the modified time the moon might have been up earlier. The state had reliable witnesses to a train of circumstances pointing strongly to defendant's guilt. At- las, the peddler, who testified" he saw, Wellner alive at 8:45 p. m., and who had made a test ride afterwards to ascertain the time, was sarcastically referred to as the man who had discovered a new system of ascertaining time. Joseph Wild, whose integrity could not be doubted, had given the lie to his story. The State's Rebuttal. The defense rested its -case at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The state, inJts-re- buttal, called George Boock. He stated that -Nicholas Mentzen had told him yes- terday that he was not sure night at Union hall. , Ernest Sauer, recalled, reiterated his former tes- timony that he had seen Tanke at Union hall before 12 o'clock and not after. Thomas Wild stated, in rebuttal,; that he tad -advised Mrs. Wellner not' to hire Tanke. He testified "that" she refused to allow him to cover the body of Wellner with a quilt, saying it was too good for him. Wild said, that he had a talk with Atlas, the peddler, in February, 1899, and that the latter told him he was glad he was not .in that vicinity that night, as he would be accused of murder. He was at Fairfax, so he told*Wild. Henry Spoer- haus, bartender at Stengle's, stated again that he saw Tanke in Stengle's. saloon at 5:30 p. m., as testified by the defendant. J. HrBlock was called to rebutt testimony of Tanke and Mrs. Tanke. Both the state and defense rested at 4:30 p. m. THE SEARCH s FOR NORBECK Continued From First Page; ill-fame. She was represented by Attor- ney L. C. Gjertsen, who entered the plea of not guilty. She asked for a continuance and Judge Holt set the case for July 1, and fixed bail at $1,000. Another charge, that of aiding a prisoner .to escape, will be brought agrfinst her, and her bail in this case will be $2,500: The state law*flxes the penalty at con- finement in the state prison from one to seven years, and- she realizes that\she is confronted with a tough proposition. Her actions in the Norbeck case have been such that she can hope for little clemency from the court. Bondsmen to Be Sued. Ah action against Brando Sodini and R. J. Hill* as bondsmen of Norbeck, will be commenced at once. They are liable for $5,000, but may hot be sued for the full amount. ' - THEY'RE GETTING WARM Denver, Col.—Charles Savage, a mulatto, 62 years old, has been arrested on the charge of having robbed the registry department of the Denver postofflce, last Monday night. County Officials . Believe They've Made- Important Arrests. In the arrest yesterday of Fred John- son, an alleged "bunco steerer," one ;of Norbeck's intimates, and the summoning of Chris' Olson, another friend of .the detective, proprietor of a saloon at Cedar avenue and Two-and-a-half street, the county officials believe they have found two men who may be able to throw a great deal of light on Norbeck's present whereabouts. Johnson's 'head- quarters are at the Sterling wine house in St. Paul, where Norbeck was to have met Carrie Emerson - by appointment, ac- cording to the itory she tells. Norbeck frequently visited this place before his indictment and "there is reason to believs, that he has been in the i)lace since he became* a fugitive from justice. Judge Harrison had a seance with Ol- son yesterday, and questioned him close- ly with regard to his connection with the case.' Olson's admission that he tried to get two men from St. Paul to prove an alibi In order to disprove a certain charge against Norbeck in hi3 trial, may get him into trouble. Johnson Is believed to have been ar- rested on a tip from "Billy" Edwar3s, the big mitt man. Edwards' acquaintance with Norbeck's St. Paul friends may prove of valuable assistance to tlje*" au- thorities in the search for him. In proof of the supposition that Carrie Emerson did all she could to facilitate Norbeck's escape, -the authorities say they are in possession of information showing conclusively that the two met by appointment on the steel arch bridge neaT the Union station Monday noon. That she premeditated -flight with Norbeck is indi- cated !by the fact that nearly all of her personal effects were packed up as if in readiness for a hasty departure. : OLSON'S STATEMENT. Says^He JtnoTya Absolutely Nothing *.?: of Norbeck's;. Locus. ; . Outside of Christopher C. Norbeck, no one is more talked of in police circles than Charles J. Olson, proprietor of "Charlie's Place," 251 Cedar avenue, in which the deputy sheriffs believe Norbeck was hid. Olson.Insists that;he has not the slightest clue, io the present whereabouts of the missing detective^ nor any theory of the least value. "He s a y s : "Dick" Hill is. my partner in business here and has done more for me than any one else in town. Is it reasonable that I would shield Norbeck and help stick my partner and friend for $2,500? •• ~;ii' .'

REV. T. H. DAHL

Special to The Journal. Henderson, Minn., June 20.—:C, R. Davis

of St. Peter made the c los ing argument for the s tate in i t s case against J r a n k Tanke. In opening he said that the Time clausing between the murder and arrest of Tanke and Mrs. Tanke nearly three^years after­wards did not argue against the gui l t of the parties arrested. The arrest was the result of an invest igat ion carried on since the perpetration of the deed. The perpe­trators had covered up their tracks a s best they could. The defendant and his wife had at first'endeavored to shift guilt to the matf Thorn.

The fact that as soon as matters were hushed up, Tanke and-Mrs. Wel lner were married appeared suspicious. Before the arrests had been made the - te s t imony o? men like Stolz, jvho saw Tanke get off the train at New Ulm, Herzog -who saw ljim near the river, Wilmert, Bieraugel and others had 'been obtained. 1 In regard to the rumored bad reputation of Coleman and Whitney, who have figured promi­nently in the case, he said that if these reports were true the defense shuld have endeavored to impeach their reputation for truth and veracity, but it had failed to do so . He endeavored to riddle the story of the a l leged shooting as related by Mrs. Wellner. The fact that the body was found stretched out face downward. looked as if the murderer had carefully arranged the corpse. T h e shot in the back, caus­ing almost instant death, would have caused Wel lner to col lapse in a heap. The second shot in the head was fired after he fell and to make sure of death.

Mrs. Wel lner w a s »tied' with a rope, but not so that she could not have tied her­self. She was careful that her mother should see the rope tied to one wrist.-This, looked supecious. In regard) to Tanke's story that he got to N e w Ulm at 8 o'clock, he had told Sheriff Block, Mr. Davis said, that he arrived there at: 7:30 p. m. He had quibbled about the b^ack suit . Raftmen and Sauer testified that Tanke had said that night: ' T v e kil led ope and might a s wel l kill . . another ." Tanke had denied the s tatement . Whose s tatement would the jury b e l i e v e ? - If Tanke had committed murder he would not hes i ta te to perjur*e himself in his own defense. "The s ta te did not show how Tanke got back to the Wellner farm to commit -the murder, but he had t ime to return by 8 o'clock or shortly after. The two shots were heardX, by Wi l l iam Dan-heim. ~ -

Wilmert had seen Tanke ride to Klbs s -ner s tat ion on a bay mare. The defense had endeavored to break up Wilmert 's s tory by the tes t imony of Professor Lea-

'venworth, wHo stated that the moon did not rise until 8:43 p. m., but according to the modified t ime the moon might have been up earlier. The s ta t e had reliable wi tnesses t o a train of c ircumstances pointing s trongly to defendant's guilt . At ­las, the peddler, who testified" he saw, Wel lner al ive at 8:45 p. m., and who had made a test ride afterwards to ascertain the t ime, was sarcastical ly referred t o a s the man who had discovered a new sys tem of ascertaining t ime. Joseph Wild, whose integri ty could not be doubted, had given t h e l ie to h i s story.

T h e S t a t e ' s R e b u t t a l .

The defense res ted i t s -case a t 2 o'clock yes terday afternoon. The state, i n J t s - r e -buttal, cal led George Boock. H e stated that -Nicholas Mentzen had told h im y e s ­terday that h e was not sure night at Union hall. , Ernest Sauer, recalled, reiterated his former t e s ­timony that he had s e e n Tanke at Union hall before 12 o'clock and not after. Thomas Wild stated, in rebuttal , ; that he t a d -advised Mrs. Wel lner not' to hire Tanke. He testified "that" she refused to a l low him to cover the body of Wel lner with a quilt, say ing it was too good for him. Wild said, that he had a talk w i t h Atlas , the peddler, in February, 1899, and that the la t ter told h im he was glad he was not .in that v ic ini ty that night, as h e would be accused of murder. He w a s at Fairfax, so he told*Wild. Henry Spoer-haus, bartender at Stengle's , s tated again that he saw Tanke in Stengle's . sa loon at 5:30 p. m., as testified by the defendant. J. HrBlock w a s called to rebutt tes t imony of Tanke and Mrs. Tanke. Both the s ta te and defense rested at 4:30 p. m.

i l l -fame. She was represented by Attor­ney L. C. Gjertsen, who entered the plea of not guilty. She asked for a continuance and Judge Holt se t the case for July 1, and fixed bail at $1,000. Another charge, that of aiding a prisoner .to escape, wi l l be brought agrfinst her, and her bail in this case wil l be $2,500:

The s tate law*flxes the penalty a t con­finement in the s ta te prison from one to seven years , and- she real izes tha t \ she is confronted with a tough proposition. Her act ions in the Norbeck case have been such that she can hope for l i t t le clemency from the court.

B o n d s m e n t o B e S u e d .

Ah action against Brando Sodini and R. J. Hill* as bondsmen of Norbeck, wil l be commenced at once. They are liable for $5,000, but may hot be sued for the full amount. ' -

T H E Y ' R E GETTING W A R M

Denver, Col.—Charles Savage, a mulatto, 62 years old, has been arrested on the charge of having robbed the registry department of the Denver postofflce, last Monday night.

C o u n t y Off ic ia ls . B e l i e v e T h e y ' v e M a d e - I m p o r t a n t A r r e s t s .

In the arrest yesterday of Fred John­son, an alleged "bunco steerer ," one ;of Norbeck's intimates, and the summoning of Chris' Olson, another friend of .the detect ive , proprietor of a saloon at Cedar avenue and Two-and-a-half s treet , the county officials be l ieve they have found two men who may be able to throw a great deal of l ight on Norbeck's present whereabouts. Johnson's 'head­quarters are at the Sterl ing wine house in St. Paul, where Norbeck was to have met Carrie Emerson - by appointment, ac­cording t o the i tory she te l ls . Norbeck frequently vis i ted this place before h i s indictment and "there is reason to believs, that he has been in the i)lace since he became* a fugitive from justice.

Judge Harrison had a seance with Ol­son yesterday, and questioned him c lose­ly with regard to h is connect ion with the case . ' Olson's admission that he tried to get two men from St. Paul to prove an alibi In order to disprove a certain charge against Norbeck in hi3 trial, may get him into trouble.

Johnson Is bel ieved to have been ar­rested on a tip from "Bil ly" Edwar3s, the big m i t t man. Edwards' acquaintance with Norbeck's St. Paul friends may prove of valuable ass is tance to tlje*" au­thorit ies in the search for him.

In proof of the supposition that Carrie Emerson did all she could to faci l i tate Norbeck's escape, -the authorit ies say they are in possess ion of information showing conclusively that the two met by appointment on the steel arch bridge neaT the Union s tat ion Monday noon. That she premeditated -flight with Norbeck is indi­cated !by the fact tha t nearly all of her personal effects were packed up as if in readiness for a hasty departure. :

Outside of Christopher C. Norbeck, no one is more talked of in police circles than Charles J. Olson, proprietor of "Charlie's Place," 251 Cedar avenue, in which the deputy sheriffs bel ieve Norbeck was hid. Olson.Insists that;he has not the s l ightest clue, i o the present whereabouts of the miss ing detective^ nor any theory of the least value. "He says:

"Dick" Hill is. my partner in business here and has done more for me than any one else in town. Is it reasonable that I would shield Norbeck and help stick my partner and friend for $2,500? •• ~;ii' .'

It is true I did arrange- a. meeting at the Stirling .hotel 'with parties Norbeck- wanted to^aVe testify'"f^r hiifi: '.ThW mat ing .w£s 4o have been held K^a'ay /evening.' 'Monday evening after '7 .o-clock'he! telephoned me he would start soonv'-Suti.he/never-came to; my place, and I'"Have not seen- anything of: him since. v _" J-'••'," '

H it Is true" thai "he" was carousing and drinking in the red-light district all Monday night he is probably still here or in S t Paul. I cgn';t believe he • jumped in the river. I h ive had' two long interviews with Carrie Emerson: and am/ sftflsfled that she Is unable to give toe police any clue; It As -absolutely false that "Norbeck and Carrie Emerson were at my place Monday night. If Norbeck has been" concealed in rooms over my saloon I don't know it and I don't believe it.

PACE Look at that man, if he may be called such. He may not be sick, yet he is unfit for work, study,

business or marriage. He is nervous, fretful and irritable. He is bilious, melancholy, dull minded and easily con­

fused. His liver is torpid, kidneys weak, back lame, circulation sluggish, digestion bad and appe­tite poor. He feels run down, is easily tired and has frequent headaches.

That is what he talks about, rind he has troubles of a different nature. THAT I S WHAT H E DOES NOT T A L E ABOUT, NOT EVEN TO H I S FAMILY PHY­

SICIAN. He goes to him with the first set of symptoms and may get temporary relief. But the latter set, from which the former arises, he keeps to himself, an awful load on his mind and barrier to his happiness. He suffers in secret silence, brooding over his condition. In the meantime he cannot control his actions. His feeble power gives way to unnatural thoughts. His wanton crav­ings increase as his ability decreases. Finely both sets o*f symptoms grow worse, and he-gets^-weak-and begins to loser weight. -. —' V- .. : - ; . ; ? - ; .•"' ^ ! / ; ? ; ; i;^'!/
