While fairly well connected, his
story lacked details, and showed
Fournier to have been rover

Minnesota, and much of his time

He had never been married, but

The direct examination of
Fournier was concluded early
this morning, and County Attor-
ney F'unkley subjected the de-
fendant to a searching cross ex-
animation.
Fournier told the story of his

For the first time Paul Four.
nier, charged with the killing OF
n. 0. Dahl, has been given a
chance to tell what he knew con-
cerning his residence in the
Quiring country and the disap-
pearance of N. o. Dahl and his
daughter, whose bodless were
found during the summer of 1904,
their skulls crushed and the re-
mains decomposed beyond recog-
milton except for articles of
wearing apparel which we're
identified by relatives.
Fournier's name, with that of
James Wesley, has been INSOFAR
ably connected with the Dahl
murders ever since the summer
of 1904, and although he was once
before arrested, he has never up
to the present time, been given
an opportunity to testify on the
witness stand.
Fournier was placed on the
stand late yesterday afternoon,
and the large crowd which had
gathered to hear his evidence,
was impatient until his name
was called.
While Fournier was being
sworn there was death like
stiffness throughout the court
room, and his firm answer to the
oath sounded loud and distinct.
When the accused (who is of
less than medium height) took
the s5acd he was deliberate and
calm. His face was somewhat
paler than usual, but he gave no
sign of weakening from his great
nerve, and looked full in the
faces of thu mem bers of the
jury who were intently watching
his every movement.
Mr.. Martin, associate attornev
for Fournler, had charge of the
examination, and he asked ques-
tions pertaining to every bit Of
evidence which the state had
presented.
Fournier denied in toto every
statement which witnesses for
the state had made that was of a
damaging character.
Fournier testified that he was
Al years old aud a single man;
his parents are dead; be has four
brothers and two sisters, all liv-
ing. He has followed the occu.
patton known as a lum berjack
for the past ten years, and four
years ago took up a claim in the
Quirlng country. He knew N.
0. Dahl; had met him three
times. Had seen Miss Dahl but
once. .
Witness testified to knowing
Eugene CaId we'll and wife and
other important witnesses for
the state who had given damag-
ing testimony against him.
Fournier told Of a row be had
with William Krueger last fall,
and also Of a "scrap" he had
with Eugene Caldwell, in both of
which he claimed the other
parties were the aggressors.
Claimed he had trouble with
Charles Martindale, a material
witness for the state, owing tc
Martindale wanting Fournier tC
cut timber on the Indian reser.
vation which belonged to the
government.
Witness denied that he ever
displayed to Mrs. Cald well, in
June, 1904, seven or eight ten.
dollar bills, and said he had few
tives and some change.
Fournier denied that he had
colored when told by Caldw well
that the murder of the Dahl's
lay between Caldwell, Fournie1
and Wesley, and also said he had
made arrangements to search
for them, but that others had
not kept their appointment. -.

County Attorney Funkley Began to Sum Up at 3:40Wi
Be Followed by Scrutchin for the Defense.Judge
Spooner Will Make His Charge to the Jury -
This Evening

| In fact, Fournier readily denied
every bit of the states evidence
which could in any tangible
manner connect him directly with
the crimes, and when his attor-
ney asked him concerning his
guilt, he set his jaw and answered
firmly IN the negative.
| Asked plainly il he ever said to
John Anderson that he would
kill old man Dahl and take his
daughter, the witness answered
no, very firmly and quietly.
Fournier admitted having been
at his home on April 9TH, 1904,
the day the state claims the Dahl's
we're killed. He declares he was
at his house most of the time,
but that he was with Wesley for
a short time on the meadow and
that they shot a rabbit and a
partridge, corroborating the
story by Wesley at his trial last
week.
According to his version, Four
nier and Wesley were at the for
mer's cabin on the evening of
April 7tb, and that they never
left the house.
When Attorney Martin had
interrogated Fournier thus far,
he paused perceptibly, in order
that the jury might get the full
effect of his questions and the
answers of Fournier, and asked:
"faul, did you kill either
N. O. Dahl or his daughter
Aagot?"
mo Sir.''
"Do you know who did do
it?"
mo SIR
Ibid you obtain any money
from the body of Mr.. Dahl?'
mo SIR
DO you know if any one
did,"
"No SIR
Ibid you take any provi-
sions from Dahl's cabin?"
mo SIR
Are you innocent of this
accusation Of murder?"
"Yes SIR"
"HaVe you ever told any,
one you killed the Dahl's?"
mo SIR
Ibid you ever tell your
brother Owen or his wife
that you killed the Dahr's
and had five others in these
woods that you would kill?"
mo sir; that is a lie."
The witness was asked con
corning his imprisonment in the
penitentiary and gave as his
reason therefor that he had been
with party of men and running
out of food they had broken into
a warehouse and stolen some
provisions.
Asked as to whether he ever
told that he held up a camp and
turned the looking glass to the
wall, the prisoner answered firm
ly that he had not, and that he
had no superstition concerning a
looking glass reproducing a
crime.
Court adjourned, to the evident
relief Of F'ournier. .

HELP CLERK OF COURTS
He Wants the Corporation of Public
in Making Complete Reports in
Vital Statistics.
Vital Statistics.

At the last session of the legisla-
ture the clerks of courts We're made
superintendent of vital statistics of
their respective counties, and among
the duties added is that of seeing
thai birth and death reports are
made out as required by law. If
these reports are not made out it is
the duty of the clerk of courts to
visit the parties responsible for the
failure, secure the information and
collect from the delinquent the sum
of one dollar, together with mileage
at the rate of ten cents per mile.
This charge does not relieve the par
ty from prosecution.
Our clerk of courts, S. C%attrell,
does not anticipate any trouble as
far as Dawson county people are
concerned, but says that if such re-
ports are not promptly made it will
be necessary for him to comply with
the law.
If parents would be more prompt
in sending the names of their child
rem to the physician, or to the clerk
of courts, it would greatly facilitate
the carrying out of the law as intend
ed. The records of births for Dawson
county show entry of births almost
two years ago that no names have
been reported. This should not be, as
the record is incomplete without the
names. Simply write the name on a
postal and send it to your clerk of
courts and he will do the balance
%cheerfully.
The clerks report for the year
ending the first of July is made out
at that time and forwarded to the
superintendent of vital statistics at
Pierre, and those not having report
ed the names of children born since
the law went into effect will greatly
assist him in making his report as
near complete as possible by report
ing the names at once.
