Hoy ON the Stand.
Fargo, N. D., July 29.--rhe Kent
trial was resumed this morning and
the cross-eXamination of Swedinsky
was completed. The witness denied
that he made indecent proposals to
Mrs. Kent on the night of the holni-
eide. He had never been in sporting
house in Mandan or had criminal re-
lations with any woman while at
work for Kent. The confession made
by Swedinsky in August was brought
into play and the witness piled with
questions us to whether the state
ments contained therein were his or
not. Swedinsky's memory was very
faulty OH that score, which he explain
cd by saying he was excited ut the
time and couldn't remember what he
did say.
George Bingenhimer, ex-sheriff of
Morton county. was called and testi-
fed to searching the prisoner after the
arrest and finding a little blank book
Swedinsky had not seen since that
time except at the former trial. 1t
had been in the witness possession
all of the time except short. time
that G. w. Rnesck had it to translate.
Detective Hoy of Minneapolis has
been on the stand most of this after
called into the case April 12, and had
gone to Mandan and visited the scene
of the homicide; first saw Kent after
the homicide ut Minneapolis. when he
was being taken by the sheriff to Man
dan. Kent told him he was innocent
and wanted him to help him. Kent
said he was going by the name of
Hope when arrested. and when asked
why he did not come back when he
heard his wife was murdered, de-
clined to answer. Mr.. Hoy testified he
had another conversation with Kent
at Mandan at which he was told his
right name was Pancoast; that he had
embczzled large sum of money from
a bank at Medina. Ohio, and that his
first wife died just before lie left
there. He wanted witness to go and
see Swedensky, hear his story and see
what lie thought Of it; saw Kent again
in the evening, and defendant asked
him about the black book, and told
him to try and get it, because it was
very damaging.
AT the evening session Inspector
Hoy and ex-Sheriff Bingenheimer
were again out on the stand but no
new evidence was developed.
