MINNEAPOLIS, .Oct. 31. In all proba bility ex-Mayor Albert A. Ames -will be a free man and never again will be tried under-the indictments entered as a result of the "grafting". during his administra tion as chief executive of this city. That "he -will probably be a free man he owes to Juror Charles D. Barnes, of Mln netonka Mills, who stood by him for 69 iourSf and refused to allow 11 other men to vote Ames into the penitentiary. From the first 11 men voted for conviction, -but Barnes stood firmly for acquittal. It is 3tatedthat in all probability the charges will be dismissed, the ex-Mayor now having had three trials.
