LAZOE MURDER
TRIAL IS NEXT
AUsTRIAN's FIGHT FOR LIBERTY
BEGUN TODAY IN THE DISTRICT
coURT-cHAReED WITH KILL
ING SAM BALLIDGE, AN AUS
TRAN METAL WORKER.

Next on the calendar of the district
court is the Lazoe murder trial, which
was commenced this morning. Peter
Lazoe, an Australian, is facing the
charge of killing Sam Banidge, ar
Austrian metal worker and fellow
enploye.
The selection Of the jury occupied the
entire morning session of court and
at the noon recess all the jurors to sit
in the case had not yet been chosen.
Lazoe was present at the hearing and
twitched his fingers nervously. During
his Imprisonment at the county jail
while awaiting his trial, ii is stated by
the jailors that he has been half Graz
ed over the prospects ahead of him
and the probable decision of the jury
against him. Barnett q Richardson
are acting as counsels for the defense,
with w. H. Barnett conducting the ex-
animation.
The Lazoe case concerns the tragic
shooting of Sam Ballidge about six
weeks ago, which took place on the
Front street bridge. For a time the
authorities were uncertain as to
whether the spot of the tragedy was in
the Jurisdiction of Cass county or
Clay county. It was finally determine
ed, upon close examination that Cass
county would have to conduct the
prosecution.
At the coroner's inquest the jury de-
clared that Ballidge was killed by a
revolver fired by Peter Lazoe. 1t was
brought out that Ballidge and Lazoe
in company with several others were
spending a few social hours in Moor
head and had disagreed. Lazoe left
his companions and came to Fargo,
where he purchased a revolver and
some cartridges and FASTENED back.
1t was stated at the inquest that
he saw Ballidge coming and lodged
behind one Of the steel Orders Of the
bridge about six feet from the North
Dakota shore, where he fired the fatal
shot that killed his fellow workman.
States Attorney Fowler is conduct
ing the examination for the state.
