returned an indictment against him
for murder in the first degree, says the
Granite Journal. In the afternoon he
was arranged for trial. The indictment
was read to him and then Judge Qvale
told him he did not have to plead at
that time, but he at once said he was
guilty of tho charge. He said he had no
lawyer to defend him aod be did not
want one, but Judge Qvale preferred
he should be defended and so had
attorney ScheIlback and Fosnes to de-
fend him. At two thirty in the after
noon OFT was brought before the court,
his attorneys waived all formalities,
and on the Judge asking him what
his plea was he said guilty. He was
sent back to Jail and Judge Qvale will
pronounce the sentence later. This
was probably as short a murder trial
as was ever held.
