torney General Haskell of Montana will
bring suit for criminal libel against
Aaron Hirschfeld because of charges
made by the latter in his testimony
here against Haskell and Mrs Hirsch-
field. 1t is likely that the divorce case
will be brought to a speedy termina-
tion Although Mrs. Hirschfeld ap-
peared in Fargo for the first time last
week, and evidence on behalf of the
plaintiff only has so far been presented,
the feeling against Hirschfeld has
grown so bitter that he is insulted on
the streets and denounced in public
interviews. IT is feared this feeling will
culminate in open demonstrations. So
extensive has this sentiment grown
that there are even muttered threats
against the court if the public inter
probation of justice is not meted out
The defense has no witnesses, being
without funds to pay the expenses of
their coming to Fargo. Their testi-
mony is contained in dispositions. the
reading of which will require several
days.
