FACTS IN THE MURDER OF ELE-
" YATOR AGENT FLETT RE-
s. CALLED s REPORTED MOVE
FOR PARDON OF REMINGTON.
The Fargo Argus says: The talk
which is being heard in regard to the
pardon of Joseph Remington from
the state penitentiary brings to mind
the crime for which he was convicted
1t occurred on Wednesday, Feb IL,
1891. 3T5
On the evening of this date the dead
body Of Fletttt, who had been
agent for thk Northw estern Elevator
Co, was found in hay loft in the
elevator where he bought wheat for
his firm. His money, watch and re-
volver were missing and robbery was
supposed to be the motive.
There was some delay in the filing
of a report of the murder in the sher-
ifs Office and the murderer gained
an advantage as they made mo inves-
tigatien until fifteen hours after the
crime was commit tted.
No cleW could be found as to the
petrators of the deed and a cor
oner's Inquest was held on the night
Of the twelfth, which resulted in the
Jury returning a verdict that the
agent had come to his death BY the
effect Of q pistol shot fired BY parties
unknown.
On the thirte the foil owing was
given to the pub concerning the
crime:

load the wheat. which he hauled with
the borrowed team, to- rthur, and
there sold 1T 10 Flett, as agent of the
hsrthWestern Elevator Co, for cash.
1T is said that the farmer, from whom
the wheat was stolen, has a lebter
from him, offering to tell where the
stolen wheat was. sif he was paid S25
and was not prosecuted Ii is SUPP
posed that tear Of the evidence Of the
elevator agent against him was one
Of the motives for the commission OF
the crime.
