eral days ago between Mrs. Kensler
and the attorneys for the state, he
was asked by Deputy Leeds TO go TO
the sheriff's Office, as he was wanted
there. He went down and found At
torney General Martin. County Attor-
ney Frawley, Mr.. Dunton, Deputy
Sheriff Robinson. Turnkey Chinn and
Mrs. Kensler in the sheriff's Office. and
was told that Mrs. Kensler had re-
fused to make a statement until he
had given his consent, as he was her
attorney.
He replied to them that he had never
seen the woman until then. but would
talk to her if she desired. She ex-
pressed the wish, and all present had
retired. except Deputy Sheriff Robin
son, who was detained TO hear all that
passed between them.
The Two Appellants.
Mr. Hawley said that Mrs. Kensler
spoke of the case in court and the
! charges against Arney and Dubois in
a very rambling way. He told her he
was not her attorney and didn't want
| TO go into the particulars OF the case,
that she had made two affidayits in re-
gard TO the matter which were direct
/ ly opposed, and she must have lied
I in one or the other. He advised her
| to make a statement of the truth and
| the entire truth in the matter. She
replied she would make no statement
until she went on the stand as a wit
/ ness.
Mr.. Hawley then went back to the
others and told them in the presence
| OF Mr.. Robinson what had been said
/ in the inner room. He also stated that
he had never been entered as Mrs.
Kensler's attorney on her trial, but
had been consulted by her attorney,
Vic Bierbower, on some legal points in
voIved in the case. He had never gone
10 Gilmore county on the case and had
never seen the woman until that day.
The statement made by Mr.. Hawley
as TO the conversation with the wO-
man was corroborated by Deputy
Sheriff Robinson this afternoon.
Dunton's Testimony.
The first witness at the afternoon
session was Attorney H. w. Dunton
He said he had been Mrs. Kensler's
attorney before the pardon board. He
| saw her on Aug. % at the pen, az
which time she made a statement OF
the facts of the case. which was part
ly in writing. The witness brought out
nothing new and was not even cross
examined. At this point the state
rested its case.
Mr.. Hawley moved for a dismissal
OF the case on the ground that there
is no probable cause to believe a crime
has been committed. He made ar
argument in support OF his motion.
Attorney General Martin replied
He referred TO the fact that Mrs
Kensler had sworn exactly the OPP
posite on the stand to the statements
she had made previously. He claimed
the evidence of Chinn alone was sui
