FOURNIER'S FATE RESTS
WITH the JURY
GOntinue6 from first paUa


A question by Mr.. Funkley if
this son was part Indian blood,
was objected to and sustained.
Did you know George Barclay
at Pine River?
Yes.
What became of him?
He was shot.
Did you do it?
No.
Do you remem Der camping on
Leech Lake, and your squaw tel
ling you if you didn't give her
money, she'd tell who killed
Barclay?
Objected to and sustained.
Wasn't she found next morn
inc with a knife sticking in side?
Objected to and sustained.
Questioned about time he was
arrested for robbery on the Big
Fork, Fourier denied that
sheriff had shot at him wins n
arrested, and stated that none
of the party had shot at the
sheriff.
Fourier could not tell exact
time when Wesley came to live
with him, but believed it was in
January during the winter of
1904, before they had worked
at Martindale's. Fournier did
not know if Shorty was there
from the 10th to the 25th of
March, but was there when wit
ness came home after. working
for Dean on the Tamarack.
After quitting work on the rs
Of March, Fourier had gone to
his home and met Wesley, had
stayed over night and went to
Buena Vista next day. He had
done some drinking there with
George Cyr. Afterwards he
went to Bemidji and stayed over
night at Spiders. Bought some
provisions at Bemidji and left
next day with Harry Greenfield g
team and got to Buena Vista at
noon. Stayed there that night
and bought several drinks that
he did not pay for, and had bor-
rowed So from Miller.
VIM. Butler had taken wit
nes to his claim after dinner on
April 9Th, had some provisions,
dishes and two bottles of whis-
key. They had stopped over
night at a camp and came home
in the afternoon next day, and
found Wesley there. While wit
ness was in Bemidji Wesley qad
trimmed some trees and piled
brush. Before that he had help
ed him clear a trail from the
road to the cabin.
After recess, Mr., Funkley re-
sumed the cross examination of
Fournier.
Fourier stated that he always
furnished the provisions for him.
self and Wesley: that he didn't
know how long "Shorty" re-
NAMED at his place.
Referred to the time when
Butler brought him from Buena
Vista to his claim on March Z,
1904, the witness stated that
when he got back Wesley was
outside the caoln; that he helped
Butler unhitch the horses and
then cooked dinner. Butler re-
manned for dinner and then left,
Fourier claiming he was sick
from drinking whiskey at Buena
Vista the day before and that he
laid down until Blu tier left, when
he got up.
Resuming, Fourier stated
that Wesley had shot a partridge
after Butler left; that Wesley hit
the partridge with the very first
shot fired, but that he fred three
shots at a rabbit at the same
time, missing him, and that Four
nler had to go and shoot the
rabbit.
They cooked the rabbit for
supper, which they ate about
dark, retiring after supper,
Fourier going to bed first.
Mr.. Funkley asked the witness
if Wesley stated that they did
not eat the partridge for supper
he had lied and the witness

Witness was shown map and
admitted that he was tainted
with the roads and trails in the
Curing country; stated that he
only once went clear through the
trail that passes by the big
spruce tree where body of N. O.
Dahl was recovered.
By Mr.. Funkley:
IF James Wesley swore on
the stand that he never went
through that trail, he told an un-
truth, didn't he?" .
Eyes, he did," ..
Redirect examination by Mr..
Scrutchin:
Asked to explain as to Big
Fork hold-up, witness stated that
he did not hold gun on a man
there; that he was in a canoe;
that the men had asked for pro
visions the day before and had
Zee, refused.
'Where were you when Barclay was
shot at Pine River?"
~ was serving my time in the Jail al
Minneapolis"
Witness stated that when he
was at Cald wells to pay Owen
French he did not have as much
as $50 on his person.
Fournier steps from stand
after a four. hour seige. 81
Defense rests.
Mr.. Westerchill was recalled
in rebuttal by state.
Witness exhibited several
specimens showing the results
of bullets fred from 1903 high
velocity, and 1910 low velocity
cartridges, and stated that re.
sistance only to a certain extent
regulates the degree that a bullet
will mushroom.
Will you state what the rule
really is?
The difference governing mush-
room action depends on the
dividing point between surfaces.
One where bullet will not pene-
trate at all, and one which it will,
such as skull shown, or piece of
wood or steel of same thickness.
pieces of wood and steel show
ing action of shot from 1903 and
from .38.40 cartridges, intro
duced as states exhibit.)
Mr.. Westerchill explained that

Krueger's gun. states exhibit
Continuing, witness explained
his experiment with a piece Of
wood showing how much bullets
will really mushroom. "A SOB
bullet had been shot into a piece
of pine showing 303 mushroomed
much less while the 38 40 mush.
roomed with crushing effect. A
303 bullet could scarcely be in
serted into point CT entrance,
the same being true of the 38-40.
He showed by the experiment
that the claim of the state that
bullets which entered skull of N.
O. Dahl were those which mush-
room at point of entrance like a
38-40, and not like a 303 cart
ridge.
Witness explained that result
of firing a soft nose, high veto
city bullet into human skull at a
range anywhere within 00yards
would simply blow head almost
to pieces. While the point of en-
trance would be small, there
wouldn't be as lars e piece of skull
as those shown and identified to
be N. o. Dahl's.
On cross-examination witness
stated that in making expert
ment with block of wood, he stood
twenty feet away. He had also
made experiment on human
skull of dead man, containing
the brains, with a low velocity
cartridge loaded with black pow
der. In his opinion it was more
probable that hole in Skull of N.
O. Dahl bad been made by a 80

When, however, the government gives

the last year for which complete fig

quarters millions of tons, an average
annual consumption for each inhabit-
ant of about seventy-five pounds. This
makes us the largest sugar-consuming
country in the world, though in per
capita consumption the British surpass
us.
| OF course, however, this Is a matter
of no significant interest compared with
the chief fact brought out In this re-
port. that in the list of commodities I'M
ported into the United States last year,
greater in value than in any year be-
fore, sugar was by far the largest sin
