ATTEMPT TO SHOW CHARACTER or

DEFENSE INSISTS ON IT'S POINT
Court Takes Until Monday to Con-

Testimony Can Go Some

Special to The GIohe-

GRAND FORKS, n. D, Feb. I'm the
West case today there was nothing nut
argument. Not a witness was exained
and the jury was given day off, The
first witness called by the defense was
Harry Blackburn, who occupied a seat
at the table with March IN the Prescott
on the night of the shooting and who
knew him well. He was asked TO state
what was the character and reputation
of March as to being peaceful or other
wise, but before he could reply, the state
interp0sed an objection. The attorneys on
both sides stated that they desired to
offer arguments, and the jury was ex-
cused. The subject was argued for the
state by Mr.. Bangs and for the defense
by Mr. Cochrane and Mr.. Corliss, and
the arguments lasted until p. m.
Mr.. Bangs objected to the introduction
of testimony as to the character and
reputation Of March on the ground that
it was not permissible except to clear up
a doubt as to whether or not Vest Was
acting in self-defense, and that as the
defendant had so far introduced no tes-
timony tending to create such a doubt.
it was entirely out Of place
Defense May Win the Point.
The defendants attorneys held that
from the testimony of the states wit
nesses there was enough to create a reas-
enable doubt as to the intent of the
prisoner; that the discrepancies between
the testimony given by reputable men as
to the positions and attitudes of the men
were sufficient to show that the events
in the room transpired so quickly that
no one man was competent to tell ex-
actly what did happen; and that there
being ground for this doubt. it was with
I'm the province of the defense to furnish
the jury with the knowledge of March's
character and reputation requisite to the
clearing up of this doubt
The court announced that the matter
of admitting the testimony at this time
would be taken under advisement until
Monday. The courts language is in
teTpreted to mean that the testimony
will be held admissible. but possibly not
at this stage of the trial.
The court room was packed all day, the
eloquent arguments being a welcome re-
lief from the dreary grind of the week
There are now eight witnesses on the
list who are expected to testify to char
acter, and if their testimony is admit
ted they will be disposed OF first.

EIGHT POLICE LOSE STARS.
Their Removal Made Necessary Be-
cause Funds Are Short

cause FUNDS Are Short.
Yesterday morning the city of Mime
apod1S commenced to cut down expenses
by d1scharging seven policemen and one
sergeant. The decapitation was made
necessary because there was not enough
funds in the appropriation for police to
carry through the year, and it is under
stood that with the force as it is at
present there will not be enough to carry
1t through. so further removals may be
necessary before the end of the season.
The following are those who were re-
lleyed of their stars yesterday morning:
Sergt. lie Roy Ferret, Patrolmen liver
Tollefson, Ed Hall, M. G. Powers, II.
Slette, William Burns, Charles A. Foster
and D. II. Derrick, mounted policemen.
The following promotions were made:
Patrolrnan George REVERE, promoted to
sergeant, and John D. Ekstrum, pro-
NOTED to sergeant.
There are about fifty officers that will
receive an increase in salary, provided
for all officers at the beginning Of the
second year of their service. This will
mean an additional $1,000 pear year in
the department

decapitation of patrolmen was not greater
as it was expected that at least a dozen
would have to so by Feb. !.
