center of the gaze of every per-
son in the crowded court room.
The three traffic managers are
young men and they showed their
emotions visibly. The fourth de-
fendant, We'll, as he entered the
room, slipped into seat near the
door. He is an elderly man,
weighing more than 40 pounds.
His face was lined with deep
marks apparently showing the
suffering he has passed through
since he was indicted.
"You are charged with conspir-
acy to commit an offence against
the United States law,' said
Judge Humphrey. "Your coun-
sci have entered pleas of guilty
and if you have nothing further
to say other than has already
been spoken. you are at liberty
to speak"
The three younger defendants
shook their heads; the fourth, the
man of years, looked at the floor,
and said nothing, nor did he make
sign.

LAND FRAUDS IN NORTH DAKOTA
War Veteran Secures Many Filings Of
Comrades for a Consideration

FARGO, N. D., June 8.-North Da-
kota is to have land fraud investiga-
tion. In his instructions to the United
States grand jury Judge Amidon en-
phasized some matters in connection
with the land frauds, and especially
in regards to the rights Of old soldiers.
The latter was due to the recent ar
rest of an old soldier in War county,
who is charged with inducing COM
rades from Ohia to make entries and
by using the time they had served In
the war they could quickly prove up
on the claims. It is alleged that the
man arrested had an arrangement by
which the claims were turned over to
him for a small consideration and the
real homesteaders realized little from
their homesteads.
Special agents nave been active In
the state for some months in investi-
eating individual cases Of frauds. and
many of these may be presented to
the grand jury. 1t II not thought there
are land frauds in North Dakota to
the extent Of those being exposed IN
the states further west.

was only after Coroner Smith had ad-

matter that he finally consented to
disclose knowledge of the tragedy. He
admitted under close questioning that
he had not told the truth. but gave
as an excuse that he was so badly
ratified that he did not know what to
do or which way to turn.
Miss CIarke's Story.
Miss Agnes Clarke, with whom Gull
ly talked over the telephone just be-
fore the fatal shot was fred. was
placed on the stand, but her evidence
failed to throw any light on the theory
that Gully had committed suicide. She
said that Gully was merely an ac-
quaintance. Sne had known him but
two months. Tuesday night about
1880 he had called her up from the
w. & G. r. depot and they had talked
for perhaps ten minutes. The CONVEX
sation was mainly about the circus
and incidents thereto. AS ne rung off
Miss Clarke said that Gully had bid
her good night with the remark that
ne was going away.
DR.. c. B. Cannon testified to the
nature of the wound and the condition
of the body when he found it at the
depot 1t was endeavored to show that
it would have been impossible for
Gully to have snot himself without
the skin or scalp showing powder
burns although the hat that Gully
wore showed powder marks. Con.
ductor Atkins gave testimony similar
to that already published. He could
not identify Schonleber as the man
who had told him that Gully had
killed himself.
Officer Wolf told Of being called on
the case and the result of his work,
Miss Elliot, superintendent of nurses
at the hospital, described the wound
and stated that there were no powder
marks.
H. o. Peck gave expert testimony on
the effects of black and smokeless
powder. He was of the opinion that
a shot fired with black powder at a
distance of foot or a foot and a half
would leave marks. With smokeless
powder shot would have to be fired
at a range of six inches to produce
any marks. He broke open one of the
cartridges and found it primed with
black powder.
Following the testimony the jury

ably be no opposition to the present

cause for the lack, of interest in the
