Eleven for Three Days,
HE IS FIRM FOR ACQUITTAL
It Is Now Almost Certain That the
Indictments Against the ex-Chief
Executive of Minneapolis
"Will Be Nolled.
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.

Passes Away Peacefully.
CINCINNATI. Oct. 3L Most Rev. Will
iam Henry Elder, archbishop of Cincin
nati, died at 11:50 o'clock tonight in his
86th year. He had suffered four days from
a severe case of grippe, complicated with
extreme weakness. The scene at the bed
side, when It was apparent the end was
near, was most affecting. The archbishop
was conscious, and his last words were
this prayer. In a very feeble voice:
"Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for
us sinners now at the hour of death.
Amen:"
He then kissed a crucifix, and, with a
peaceful smile on his face, breathed his
last.
