An item under date of Sept.
9TH. 1903, in relation to the in
sanity matter of one Mrs.
Glander, amounting to three
dollars. -:
An item of date October slst,
1903, for two days board:and re-
lease and commitment of John
Rice, amounting to two dollars
and thirty cents, which it is
charged was collected again
under date of November 26th.
An item of date December
9TH, 1903, commitment and re-
lease of Carl Voltz, one dollar.
These items it is charged Mr..
Moody knowingly, willfully,
and with intent and purpose of
defrauding the county collected
twice.
And the following items in
which it is contended that the
defendant collected more fees
than he was entitled to by law.
An item under date of March
Goth, thirteen days attendance
at court, sixty-eight dollars.
An item under date of March
1st, 1903. attendance at court
from February 18th, to March
lst, sixteen davs. $4,000
In relation to the two last
items charge you, as a matter
of law, that the sheriff is en-
titled to receive from the coun-
ty for attendance upon court
the sum of four dollars per day
and no more; and 1 charge you
further that from February 18th
to March 1st, 1903, including
said 18th day there were but
sixteen days, and that of the
said sixteen days two thereof
fell upon Sunday. Therefore,
the presumption is, that in the
item above referred to of six
teen days attendance upon
court there has been included
two days that could not be
legally charged for by the
sheriff in making up his bill for
that item.
And the following item for
which the state claims no SER
vice was rendered by the de-
fendant, to-wit.
April 18th, 1903, service under
search warrant in Forsyeth
case, six dollars.
And two further items for the
collection of taxes wherein it is
alleged the defendant charged
the county d greater sum for
the collection thereof than is
allowed by law.
You will understand that the
items l have mentioned are the
only claims of illegal or exces-
sive charges as to which any
evidence has been offered by
the state, and as to all other
illegal charges alleged in the
complaint, as to which any
testimony has been offered,
you will entirely eliminate such
testimony from your mind. 1t
is no longer before you for con.
sideration. and you have now
to do with and consider only
the specific items l have here
in mentioned"
Of the FOUR THOUSAND
DOLLARS that it was alleged
Moody had unlawfully collect
ed, those above mentioned were
the only ones about which there
was even question, and in re.
lation to those the following
| facts were shown undisputed
viz:
The item of three dollars in
the Glander case which it was
, claimedhad been charged twice
: was shown by Deputy Sheriff
Dick Buck to be for his service.
The Wahpeton times. [volume] (Wahpeton, Richland County, Dakota [N.D.]) 1879-1919, 1904-08-05

The much talked of prosecu-
tion of Sheriff Moody, brought
by Charles E. Wolfe, at the in
stigation of certain unknown
parties, to remove him from of
flee, was brought on for trial
Thursday morning, before
Judge Fisk of Grand Forks, and
a jury selected from the regular
panell of the present adjourned
term of court.
The names of the jurors are
given in the headlines and from
an inspection of the list it will
be seen that they are represen-
tative of the people of the coun-
: ty, in nationality, political faith
and places of residence.
The prosecution was conduct
ed by States Attorney Gustav
Schuler and his assistant
George Wallace, while the de-
fendant was represented by the
firm of Purcell, Bradley &
Divet, and w. III. Redmon, ESQ.
The trial was characterized
throughout by a keen alert
watchfulness on each side, but
at the same time by spirit of
frankness and fairness that was
commendable, on the part of all
concerned. States Attorney
Schuler seemed determined to
make it a searching investiga-
tion of the truth of the charges
but at no time showed any
vindictive spirit against the de-
fendant, and it was heard from
many sides that his eminently
fair and tempered bearing add
ed greatly to the strength of
what was left of the states
case after the rulings of the
court.
Contrary to the general ex-
pectation there was but little
difficulty experienced in secur-
ing a jury. Both sides seemed
willing to submit the contro-
versy to just such fair and
impartial body of men as was
in fact secured; every man who
upon his examination showed
the least bias or prejudice one
way or the other was excused
promptly without any attempt
to retain the advantage of his
prior fixed opinions.
The tale is shortly told; at the
end of the evidence Judge Fisk
instructed the jury that the
prosecution had failed to offer
any testimony that showed or
tended to show that there was
any grounds for the charges of
bribery or protection of blind
pigs.
The Court held however that
there was a question to go to
the jury upon the charges of
collecting illegal fees and upon
that portion of the case charg.
ed them as follows:
"In relation to the charge o1
having received and accepted
illegal fees, instruct you tina,
1.-The court has stricken out and
i eliminated from your consider.
alton all of the testimony rela
tive to such fees, except as te
the following items, which it i.

ed twice, to-wit:

in making the arrest of Mrs.
Glander,an insane woman, and
that he had failed to capture
her on the first trip and had
been forced to make the second,
the two charges were for the
two trips.
AS to the two items of commit
ment and release of John Rice
and Carl Voltz it appeared that
at the time of the first charge
Deputy Sheriff Anton Giles
was keeping the books for the
sheriff's Office, but that shortly
thereafter there was a change
made and Deputy Andrew Arm
sen began keeping them and
that in checking up the prison
record at the time of the second
charge he by mistake charged
these two items, there having
been seventeen other prison
discharges to charge at that
time. These two items amount
ed to two dollars and thirty
cents.
The item of sixteen days at
tendance at court from Feb
ruary 18th to March 1st, was a
mistake of Anton Giles in post
ing the books the first of March.
he figuring thirty days in Feb
ruary instead of twenty-eight.
This made an error of two days,
eight dollars.
The item of March goth,
thirteen days attendance at
court, $64.OO, was purely an er-
ror in copying from the books
onto the statement; the item as
it appeared on the books being
thirteen days attendance at
court, 5000, and under it eight
days janitor wages for court
room janitor, sixteen dollars,
totaled at $4,000, which was COR
rect, and exactly as it had been
collected from the county.
1t appeared from the testi-
mony of County Commission
ers Lovedocken and Henry AL
brecht that acting under the
law the county commissioners
had contracted with Mr.. Moody
to collect these matters of taxes
that he had charged for, and
that the charges were correct,
and the dispute over those items
came about through the neglect
of County Auditor Stenersen
to keep record of the proceed
ings of the county commission
ers at the time.
The item of six dollars SER
vices under search warrant
was shown to be correct
charge for services under a
BENCH WARRANT, but that
some one in copying the item
had made it read SEARCH
where it should be BENCH,
and was BENCH i'm the sheriff's
books.
At the end of the trial it ap-
peared that of all the things
charged against the sheriff he
has been guilty of none, but
that out of the four thousand
dollars he was accused of de-
frauding the county of, he has
through mistakes mentioned
collected from the county ex-
actly 1920 that the commits
sioners are entitled to deduct
from his next bill, and every
thing else has vanished into
thin air.
The litigation has been very
expensive, however, and the
county has undoubtedly lost
through the acts of the parties
instituting it nearly, if not
quite, as much as Moody was
charged with having taken. II
has also been expensive for the
sheriff and will of course rot

ne testified to being an almost
nightly visitor at that institu-
ton and having habitually
gambled and drank there, and
stated that for twenty years he
had been in the habit of patron
izing the drinking and gambl-
ing institutions of this COM
munity.
Postmaster Elmer Myhra al--
so placed himself in a some-
what peculiar light by his testi-
mony to the effect that he was
a habitual visitor at the same
place, and habitually drank and
gambled there. He also Great
ed a little mild surprise, among
those who were not posted as
to the fact, by testifying that he
was Chairman of the Republi-
can County Central Committee.
and that he had contributed
one hundred dollars to fund
that was used to employ de-
tective to investigate Moody's
record as sheriff. He refused
to state who the other parties
were who had also contributed.
Wolfe also testified to the same
tact and also refused to name
the other parties who contri--
buted money, or to state who
employed him, or state what
his compensation was to be for
conducting the proceedings
against Moody, and the public
is still in the dark as to wheth-
er such compensation was in
the shape of money or whether
it was to be in the shape OF
nomination for states attorney.
Both of these gentlemen
made sorry appearance on the
stand. Wolfe was forced to adj
NIT on cross examination that
as to many of the charges he
had made against Moody as
positive facts, and sworn 20 in
two different accusations he had
no knowledge whatever. This
was so noticeable that twice
when he answered that he did
not know as to certain things
he had alleged, the court called
attention to the fact that he had
made the charge POSITIVE
and SWORN to it.
One Of the charges against
the sheriff was that he had
knowledge of the existence of
this Commercial Club and con-
cealed it from the states at
