gram Judge Aikens, for the defense. to-
day presented to the supreme court an ap-
plication for bail in the Kaufman murder
charge at Sioux Falls, coming direct to the
supreme court instead OF applying to the
circuit court. on account OF the heated feel
ing at Sioux Falls in regard to the case.
He advanced the theory that the only
charge which could be possibly sustained
against his client. II any, was that Of man
slaughter instead Of murder, and the former
was a ballabie offense. States Attorney Orr

ficient evidence to sustain a murder charge.

visement and this evening the indications
are that there will be no decision before
next week.
