Morning Oregonian September 16, 1904
Minneapolis,Minn.,Sept.15-Judge Harrison today denied the motion made by 
County Attorney Boardman to nolle the ten indictments standing against ex-
Mayor A.A.Ames for bribery and corruption.The court handed down a memorandum 
in which it was pointed out that Ames had once been convicted;that the 
reversal by the Supreme Court was on technical grounds,not affecting the 
merits of the case,and that on retrial there had been a disagreement of the 
jury.It does not appear that any of the witnesses have disappeared for that 
there is any good reason why the evidence should not be submitted to the jury.
