this kind, and his friends are certain
Of his success in this one.

Evidence All In.

Fargo, N. D., Aug. 2.-rhe interest
In the Kent case dragged this morn
Ing, the testimony for the greater
part being on minor matters. The ex-
animation of Mr.. Kent was concluded
by Attorney Nye, who did not succeed
In breaking down his story q particle.
Witnesses Rack and Martin were re-
called. but their testimony was unim-
portant, tending to close the gaps in
the evidence Of Kent.
The trial is fast drawing to n close.
and will probably be submitted to the
jury by Monday night. The last wit
ness was sworn shortly before 4
O'clock. and as he was excused from
the stand Il sigh of relief went up
from all who have been identified with
the case for the past three weeks. A
night session was held this evening,
and the opening argument for the
state wtls made by Attorney Voss of
Morton county. Attorneys Hildreth
and Barnett of Fargo and Attorney
Campbell Of Mandan will address the
jury on behalf of the defendant, and
Attorney Nye will close. Mr.. Nye's
reputation as brilliant pleader has
preceded him here, and the court room
will he crowded on Monday. Mr..
Nyc's conduct throughout the entire
case has been consistent with the cir
cumstances, and he has lost no friends
here by the treatment of Attorney
Hildreth. When court convened this
afternoon the defense asked permis-
sion to recall Swedensky for further
cross examination, which was denied
by the court. DR. Carpenter testified
to prescribing nerve tonic for Swe-
densky since his confinement In the
Cass county Jail. The defense then
rested. Mr.. Hankey and Mrs. Jones
were called in rebuttal, and the testi-
mOny in the case was closed.
Fargo, N. d.. Aug. 3.-The attorneys
for the defense in the Kent case
dropped bomb in the ranks of the
prosecution when court convened this
morning. The argument by the state
was made at the evening session by
Attorney Voos, and when court opened
today Attorney Hildreth stated the
defense were willing to submit their
case on the argument already made,
and objected to any further argument
in the case. The court ordered that
the pleas proceed, but the defendants
attorney declined to talk at all. The
statute of the state provides that when
the evidence is concluded, unless the
case is submitted to the jury on either
side, or both sides, without argument,
the counsel for the state shall COM
mence and the defendant or his coun-
sci shall follow; then the counsel for
the state shall conclude the argument
to the jury. The contention of the de-
Tense is that the case of the state has
already been stated in the plea of At
:orney Voss, and that the close by tho
state is held in law to be a reply to tn
plea Of the attorneys for the defens
and that If no argument is made b.
them, no reply can be made by tn
state. The prosecution, on the othe
hand, contend that while the defens
may waive their right to argument
they cannot preclude the state iron
their close. The position taken by tn
defense took the court entirely by SUI
prise and an adjournment was takel
until 2 o'clock, ;it which time q rulinl
will be made. In case the court hold
in favor Of the defendant 1t will shu
out the argument of Attorney Nye en-
tirely.

Fargo, N. d., July 31.-The state
rested in the Kent case at II o'clock
this morning and the defense will

the name Of Pancoast and also to hav-
ing a conversation with Kent in the
Morton county JAIL in which he inquir-
cd after his parents. The opening for

hour. He roundly denounced private
counsel, who he said had wormed into
the case from far away Hcnnepin
county, Afinn., sent in Il revengcful
spirit for the purpose of taking away
the life Of defendant. He classed Hoy
as thing not worthy Of notice, who
drew twelve hundred dollars q year

pie OF crime.

noon was s. V. Seavey, who tcsti-
fled to the pleasant relations between

that they had told him so. Myron II.
Kent, defendant, was sworn in his
own behalf, and denied In detail the
story of the alleged job to kill Mrs.
Kent. Witness testified they wero
married in 1880 and had always been
very happy. He denied ever telling
his wife she was a damn fool, and
only ftt to live In manure pile, or
that lie ever told Tom or any one elso
that Mrs. Kent carried insurance on

denied he ever sail L.air,ls has robbed
