Catherine GIng's Murderers.
Minneapolis, Dec. 17. It is not likely
that C. A. Blixt, the self-confessed mur
derer of Catherine Ging, will be banged.
He will be brought before Judge Hicks,
of the district court, today, where he
will enter a plea of guilty. Sentence
will not be passed, however, until he
has been used as a witness for the state
in the Harry Hay ward case, and then it
is expected that he will be given a life
sentence. The court has appointed
Judge J. K. Shaw, W. A. Hawn and F.
H. Carlton, three able criminal lawyers,
to defend him, but when they attempted
to hold a consultation with him yester
day, Blixt refused to have anything to
do with them. He is still in the St.
Paul jail, aiid continues to' protest that
he is innocent, and claims that when he
tells his story there will be some sensa
tional disclosure.
Clans A.' Blixt, the self-confessed mur
derer of Catherine Bing, was arraigned
in the district court this morning and in
a weak voice pleaded not guilty. The
case was set for trial January 7th, in
spite of Attorney Odell's demand that it
be not set earlier than January 27th.

or not the securities placed in the bank
are worthless. This morning a jury' was
secured after five challenges by the de
fense, two by the state, and two excused
for cause. Prosecuting Attorney Snell,
in opening for the state, talked an hour,
