He stated that he was returning to
Chicago. He was taken to Bismarck

The FIRST and most important of them
was to the effect that Mr.. Voss as states
attorney had brought actions against
several violators of the prohibition law
at Mandan. That subsequently a meet.
ing was held at which prominent citizens
of the city and the men concerned were
present, and that Mr.. Voss, as states at.
torney was also present, and that he ad-
were made to pay the officers costs in
the case, some $3.50 each, and tina,
thereafter the proceedings would be
dropped and the men would be pro.
tected. MI. Voss admits that part Of
this allegation that relates to the meet.
ing of citizens, and admits that he was
present, by request, part of the time, but
he specifically de MES that he gave any
advice to the men as charged, or that il
any way he %counseled them or protected
them as charged.
Another charge was to the effect tina,
he had refused to prosecute a case
against William Churchill, alleged &c
have threatened Louis Goeschel with a
revolver, and that Mr.. Goeschel was
compelled to employ another attorney tc
prosecute Churchill. 1t vas also charged
that Voss had counseled Churchill to re.
peatAhe offense against Goeschel. Mr.
Voss denies all the allegi lions of this
charge except that Goeschel had en-
ployed an attorney to prosecute Church.
i'll, and this, he says, was done with his
(Voss) permission and at Goeschel's re-
quest.
Other charges to the effect that he was
a patron of a gambling house and that
he had received money for immunity
granted Geo. Mcdonald, a gambler, are
distinctly and specifically denied by Mr.
'Voss, who states that he has conscien.
tiously and properly performed his duties
as states attorney for Morton county.
The issue in the cast having been
joined, the supreme court will probably
appoint a referee to take testimony on
both sides os the case and the matter
will then come before the supreme court
or determination. ~
