and Pleads Guilty to Nine
Indictments.
THE FIEND WILL HANG.
Judge Morgan VIII Pronounce
Sentence Upon Him This
Afternoon.
Grand Forks HeralL:-

Grand Forks Herald
Sunday evening Sheriff McCune
of Towncr county, arrived in the
city armei with an order from
Judge Morgan to bring before him
Albert Bomberger, whom it will be
remembered was incarceratcd here
by order Of Judge Morgan and
against the wishes of the people of
Towner county in July last. Several
attempts were made to induce the
Judge to hold special term of court
and give Bomberger speedy trial,
but the judge declared it would not
be safe, in his opinion, to take the
murderer to Cando at that time .or
trial, and that nothing could induce
him to try him before the regular
term of court.
Monday morning the doors of
the county Jail which closed on
Bomberger on thats Tuesday night
while a mob Of a thousand people
surrounded the Jail, opened and aa-
mitted the young murderer to the
world again. But he was strongly
manceled and was escorted by Sheriff
McCune and Deputy Sheriff Riggs.
Quite a company Of citizens
gathered at the depot, prompted by
curiosity to see the tiend who had
been so reckless of human life. The
regular December term of court con-
vencd at Cando on Tuesday and is
expected that the first business after
calling the calendar will be the
arraignment of Bomberger for the
murder of the Kreider family. The
prisoner has no attorney to look
after his interests, but will expect
the judge to provide him with an
attorney at the public expense. In
case he should change his mind and
instead of pleading guilty as he has
said he intended to, should he plead
not guilty the state is prepared to
prosecute the case at once. John
Burke, of Rolla, will assist the
States attorney. Miss Annie
Kreiner, the oldest survivor of the
family, arrived in Cando yesterday
morning from Pennsylvania, accom-
panied by her uncle, Amos Kreider,
to appear as a witness if needed.
If the case should be delayed without
good cause it is more than likely
that Towner county people will
take charge of the murderer them
selves and spare the county any
further expense.
LATER PARTICULARS.
| CANDo, N. D., Nov. 2l.-(SpeciaD
Sheriff McCune and Deputy
Riggs arrived last evening from
Grand Forks, having in custody
Albert Bomberger, murderer of
the Kreider family. A large crowd
of citizens assembled at the depot
to get sight of the wretch who com.
mitted the most atrocious crime in
the Dakotas, but there was no
demonstration, and the people show
ed their determination to have the
law take it's course. If there has
heretofore seemed unnecessary delay
on thepart of Judge Morgan, he
certainly dispatched business with
most commedable speed when he
did commence action. He appointed
Hon. W. Q. Brien, of Devils Lake
as attorney for the prisoner and he
was given the opportunity of hav-
ing preliminary examination last
night, but waived. the privilege.
This morning the first grand jury
which has been assembled in this
county since the state was organized
was called together and began the
consideration Of Bomberger's case.
Nine indictments were found, to all
Of wAicL he pleaded guilty without
