WOMAN WAS
ACQUITTED
SERIOUS CHARGE WAS
DISMISSED By JUDGE GOSS
Berthoid Woman Was Charged With
Intent toKilI Her Husband Woman
Was Granted ! Divorce and Custody
OF Children.

Minot, M ID, March 27 The sensa-
tional Hegg genscase, wherein Mrs. Heg-
gems was charged with assault with I'M
tent to kill, the complaining witness
being her husband, was. brought to a
sudden close when Judge E. B. Goss,
after taking testimony in the case, dis
missed the action against the Berthold
woman and taxed the costs of the case
against the defendant. Previous to
disinissing the criminal action, Judge
Goss granted Mrs. Heggens an abso=
lute divorce.
Mrs. Heggens was cleared from the
criminal charge, upon which she was
arrested last Wednesday. by her little
seven year old daughter, Isabella,
The testimony Of this young witness
proved very interesting and disclosed
the entire facts in the case. James
@. Heggefls, who is prosperous
farmer residing near Bertltold, alleg-
ed that his wife attempted to kill
him by stabbing him with butcher
knife while he slept. This attempt
was made, II was alleged early lasr
"Wednesday morning
The testimony of little / ISABELLE IIeg-
gems, however, placed an entirely DIFF
ferent aspect upon the case. Accord
ing to her testimony. Heggens arose
early Wednesday morning and going
into the kitchen secured large butch
er knife. Returning to the bedroom,
where Mrs. Heggens and her three
year old daughter were sleeping, sHeg-
gems standing at the foot of the bed
and drawing the knife across his throat
shouted: q can die like man, even
If L cant live like one. Mrs. Heg-
gems fearing that her husband had lost
his mind and was about to- commit sui
eide, ran from the room in her night
clothes going to the woodshed where
she procured large stick of wood. On
her return to the bedroom, she dis
covered Heggens standing over their
3-year-old daughter, with the butch
er knife tightly clasped i'm his right
hand. Believing that he intended to
kill the little one and do away with the
entire family, she struck her husband
several blows over the head with the
club. The trouble between the has
band and wife aroused little Isabelle,
who was sleeping in an adjoining
room, and she ran to her mother s res
cue. She demanded that her father
give her the butcher knife wilicfl he
did Later with the assistance oi
some OF the neighbors, Mr.. Heggens
was persuaded to leave the house.
That same day he came to Minot and
secured warrant for his wifess ar
rest on the charge of assault with in
teEt to kill.
The trouble, which took place al
the Heggens home last Wednesday
was simply the elimination OF ser
les of domestic disturbances which
have visited the Heggens household
on several occasions during the past
year. About a year ago, Heggens

COWLES FOR CHIEF

Washington d. e., March Naval
officers are greatly interested in the se-
lection Of an officer who shall succeed
Rear Admiral G. A. Converse as chief
of the bureau of navigation This is the
most important of naval billets ashore,
and the detail is ofvital interest, since
the office has to do with the affairs Of
the personnel, Among the officers who
are mentioned as available, il not ac-
tice, candidates are Rear Admiral Will
ham S. CoWles, now chief of the bureau
of equipment; Capt Richard VAIN
wright, a a1einber of the general board,
on duty In Washington; !; Capt. John r.
Pillsbtfry, who is Rear Admiral Evans
schiefsof staff; j; Capt. William Barnette,
now ON duty here in connection with
the general board, and Capt Richardson
Clover, former chief intelligence officer,
and now at his home iii Washington on
waiting orders. It was thought that
some Of these officers could be detailed
as chief of the bureau of yards and
docks, thus returning to the line an inn
portant duty which has for some years
been discharged by a senior member Of
the corps Of civil engineers, but the Sc
lection for that post of Rear Admiral
Endicott has set ait rest this idea, at
least temporarily. The choice Of the
most active and progressive officers Of
the line for the position of chief of the
bureau of navigation is Admiral Cowles,
who has frequently, inSthe past had duty
in the bureau, years ago in charge of
personnel and detail, where his wide
knowledge of the qualifications Of offic-
.ers and his fine discrimination gave such
satisfaction, and more recently, before
his sea cruise. as assistant to the chief
.of the bureau.

"BLACkIE" IS AGAIN ARRESTED

called to the matter Bruce looked up
the description, Of "Blackie" and
found that Heilman almost filled the
bill, the only difference being that
Heilman is taller.
Heilman says he came from Chippe-
wa, Wis, to work in the wheat fields
about the first of August and since
that time has worked near Valley
City, jamestown and finally landed
here about Sept. l.. two days after the
Personius murder, and went to work
for C. o. Engdahl in the country. A
week or so later he came to town and
filed up on squirrel whiskey, hurt his
arm and was run in. He paid his fine,
and since that time has done nothing.
Sheriff Oppegard was not sure that
he had the right man, but took him to
Valley City where the two brakemen
who were robbed by "Blackie" and
Connors will see if they can identify
him. Heilman denies any mixup with
the murder, but has told several con-
tlicting stories in trying to figure out
his whereabouts at the time Of the
crime. ~ - &.-,..,%a
