Mrs. Parmenter Called.
After recess, this morning, Mrs, Il.
M. Parmenter was called to the chair.
She Is a friend of the Kethmans and
has been the close companion of the
wife Of the defendant during the pro-
gross of taking testimony for the
state. She lives In Fargo. She was
examined by Mr.. Nye and especially
as to the lights and the ability to rec
ognize people in the dark in that part
of the city Sixth street and Second
avenue south. Witness said she test
ed the lights from the different points
cited by witnesses for the state and
she could not recognize forms and
figures The test was made between
Sept. 18 and "a, and 1t was moonlight
Kethman in Witness Chair.
The state rested at exactly 1855 yes
terday afternoon. After a recess and
when the court raped for order, there
was some little excitement, rustling
of feet and the craning of necks to
catch glimpse of Atty. c. A. Nye
from whom was expected the first Of
fetal hint as to what would be the
line Of defense. Mr. Nye took an UNI
expected tack and the anticipated sem
satien did not appear. Instead there
were very ordinary proceedings.
Arising and taking che of his char
acteristic poses in front of the clerks
desk, one arm resting on the top and
looking squarely at Judge Taylor, who
was gazing as expectantly as anyone
else, Mr.. Nye Said
May it please the court, it is not

it's case or to make an opening state
ment. / desire now 10 ask the indul-
gence of the court and attorneys, for

were on parade on Sept. g."

moments and then entered his objec-

sustained the objection. Every WE'LL

walked firmly to the witness stand.
Kethman identified the photograph
and pointed himself out among the
carpenters in the line and stated the
spot where the photograph was taken,
near the Masonic temple in Fargo, and
taken by Erickson.
General Smith then took up the
cross examination, and after few
questions as to the photograph got
Kethman to admit that he had been
convicted and fined for assault and bat
terry in Moorhead in 1891; in Wells
county, North Dakota, in 1906 upon two
cases one being woman, and for the
latter of which he served thirty days
in Jail. He also admitted that he was
convicted of gambling in Fargo last
winter and that he paid fine Mr..
Nye objected to this line of question
ing but his objections were overruled
by the court The questions were prob
ably asked as tending to impeach
Kethman's testimony. Kethman was
then excused.

Washington, Nov. 3O.-President
Zelaya has made oyerCures to the
revolutionists in Tina Ting of his
willingness to retire from the presi-
dency of Nicaragua provided con-

ional president in his stead.
This news comes from the United

the two Americans, Cannon and Groce
probably viii not be subject for ac-
ton by the secretary OF war. The
legal officers of the government how
ever, well versed in international law,
take view of the matter entirely at
variance with that of General Grant,
and hold that there could be no legal
of Cannon or Groce. A high legal au-
thority in these matters said that the
general rule appears to be that forces
engaged in instructions within the
state are entitled to beligerent rights
when the insnrrection has reached the
state of an organized rebellion, so that
the central government is required to
resort to warlike measures in order to
quell the insurrectionists.
Whartons international law lays
down the doctrine that whether strug-
gle is war or not, Is to be determined
not from the relation OF the conabat-
ants to each other, but from the mode
in which 1t is carried on.
1t is understood that the state OF
the armed insurrection in Nicaragua
had reached the stage Of actual war,
in which the forces of the govern
ment were opposed by an organized
and armed forces of insurgents, and
that it reached proportions where the
ports are practically closed and the
forces of the government are con-
fined to small area

the central government.
Those views, it is believed. are shar-
ed by the officials of the state de-
partment, who have no doubt of the
unIawfulness Of the killing Of Cannon
and Groce, and whatever action may
hereafter be taken with respect to in
demnity or otherwise will be based
upon this theory.

the strength Of Minneapolis and cover

however, wheat has been but a trifie

indication that the deliveries on De-

CHICAGO Gossip.

Chicago, Nov. S0.--Gossip on wheat
last night was in favor of lower prices
because of the duh trade and the fact
that the receipts were running ahead
Of last year. Spectators are talking
lower prices, but some of the big peo-
pie in the trade, principally the lead
ing millers. are not anticipating a
severe break, but they believed that
purchases should be made on the de-
clines as the market Is only a scalp
ing one.
Corn--The bull position Is regarded
as Iechnical and the decline in prices
of late on account of soft weather has
been greatly discouraging to the bulls

MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY

see what the bull position Of wheat is
gaining any strength. Only lower
prices ultimately for corn. There Is
10 outside speculation in oats which
saves the market In the hands Of To-
Il traders
Shearson, Hamill: The buying
power in wheat appears decidedly re-
duced resulting from the short cover
ing which has gone on and 1t looks as
though some new speculation was go
ing to enlarge operations.
Clement Curtis: Both wheat and
corn have shown the usual weakness
prior to the opening Of the delivery
month as the more timid element back
away from possible delivery. with
both grains higher I'm the cash mar
ket than In the futures, we think
purchases on the decline advisable.
