FOR BEING ACCESSORY TO THE
DEATH OF GIRL HE BETRAYED.

Minot, N. D., March 2 - Charged
with murder in the second degree on
an information identical with that
upon which DR.. Thor Moelle rwas ar
rested, L. w. Dale, cashier of the Lo-
raine State bank, is undergoing pre-
liminary examination in Judge Muir
rays court Dale is the man charged
with being responsible for the condi-
ton of Miss Lien, over whose death
the Moeller case arose. He is charged
with having arranged to brong the
girl to Minot and there have criminal
operation performed upon her.
The principal witness in the case will
be o. A. Palsrud, the travelling sales
man, who testified that Dale confessed
the whole matter to him. This will be
introduced en- toto in the Dale case,
though but a part of it was admissible
in the Moeller case.
Eric Lien, the father of the girl, was
the first witness against Dale, and
testified as to the girls life. DR.. Lar
son, the coroner, was then called and
questioned as to practically the same
occurrences as were used as basis in
the former trial.

THE SENATE.

Washington, March ,. 49, The penal
code bill on report was before the
senate during almost the entire day, all
was subjected to filibustering tactics on
the part of the minority that resulted
almost in no progress being made
upon it.
Mr.. Hepburn, in charge of the meas
ure, declared that opposition to the
measure was the result of antagonisism
to the Legislative provisions contained in
it for the enforcement of the l4th and
18th amendments to the constitution on
the part of southern senators.
The general deficiency bill was
passed, carrying appropriations amount
ing to more than $40 900 1000. This bill
was the last of the general supply bills
passed by the senate. Various confer
ence reports were agreed to, so that
substantial progress was made in clear
ing away much of the urgent business
before the senate.
