| Shortly before noon the prosecution
rested in the case against Samue
! Newman, charged with the murder Of
Roscoe Conklin. Attorney LOvel
took the case at once for the defense
and called on the mother OF the &C
cused as his first witness.
Mrs. White Face, the mother OF
Newman, was on the stand this morn
ing and this afternoon and testified
regarding the good fellowship be-
tween her son and the murdered man
She showed by many examples the
close relationship of the two men
who were cousins, and in her opinion
Newman would have killed himself
before he would, intentionally, do any
harm to Conklin.
o. C. McGray, a merchant at Car
rison, N. D.. was on the stand this
afternoon. He has known Newman
for many years and spoke most highly
of him as a man of sterling charac-
ter and excellent reputation. His tes'
timony was given to show the finer
qualities and good standing OF the
accused man among those with whom
he did business.
Mrs. Newman, the wife of the de-
fsndant, was on the stand this aft
ernoon and was cross-examined for
some length. She also dwelt upon
the great love that existed between
her husband and Conklin. She stated
that Conklin and her husband were
the best Of friends and that Conklin
net only associated with her hus-
band a great deal. but always had the
hospitality of her home and that when
he was out of work and did not have
any other place to 60, he came to the
Newman home. where he resided dur.
ing his idleness.
It was hoped that other witnesses
would get on the stand this after
noon, although nothing definite was
assured when time to go to press.
Crows Ghost, an old Indian from
the reservation, was one of the pic
turesQue witnesses on the stand to-
day in the case of the United States
agaisst Samuel Newman, charged
with the murder of Roscoe Conklln on
the Fort Berthold reservation.
Crows Ghost was at the home of
NeNman's father the morning of the
accident and testified regarding the
conditions at the home of Sewman's
parents prior to the alleged shooting
of Conklin by Newman.
The testimony of Crows Nest is
expected to help convince the jury
that Newman was rational on the day
that he is supposed to have shot
Conklin. Newman's father is an old
man and is bind. That morning
Newman assisted his father around
the house and helped him to dress for
the day and placed him where he
could rest. before going over to his
own home The fact that he was
able to do all of these things will tend
to show that he was mentally sound
the morning Of the accident.
Attorney Lowell, Tor the defense,
has not any intimati0n regarding what
the defense in the case viii be. With
the aid of some outside help he IS pre-
pairing to make q strong defense.

MAIL ON THE MOTT LINE

Now that there is finally assurance
that there will be mail service on the
line to Mott and the intervening cit
les there Is joy in the hearts of
not only those who live on the new
extension, but also among the whole
salers of this city and Mandan. Quick.
er communication will thus be estab.
lished between the wholesaler and the
retailer and the orders will be cor
respondingly larger. About the only
one who will not be pleased will be
the brakemen on the line, as they
have been reaping a rich harvest of
tips and cigars by acting as carrier
for messages and every evening saw
stacks of mail put in the postoftice
here, which the trainmen had collect.
ed along the line.
The Mott commercial club and all
the commercial clubs along the line
took an active part in bringing to
the attention of those in Washington
the rotten condition that existed. The
commercial clubs of Bismarck and
Mandan also gave their assistance on
securing the establishment of the SER
vice.
That Mott Is tickled over the deci-
sion of the postoffice department is
shown in the following telegram re-
ceived by the Bismarck Tribune, from
A.. G. Stone, secretary of the Mott
Commercial club:

UNIVERSITY ENTERS NEW
FIELD OF uSEFUlNES

, A valuable new line of work that is
being undertaken by our state Univer
sity and one which should meet with
earnest approval in many parts Of the
state is the correspondence study
courses that have been recently op
ened up.
Many of the best courses in the uni
versity have been made available for
this work. which will be different from
that of the schools that conduct cor
respondence instruction for profit in
that each student will have the benefit
of the individual attention of trained
instructor.
One of the lines of study that will
come the nearest to meeting felt
want is the law courses. All of the
work given in the university law
school. which is on a par with the
best in the country, will be offered,
and De n Bruce himself will supervise
the instruction. Where a number of
students in the same town or in a group
of adjacent towns are enrolled for the
same work, some of the university
professors will come out for an occas-
ional institute session of a week or
more.
Small libraries are available and
will be loaned to groups of students In
a community who are doing work on
similar lines.
The university has field organizer
at work whose business it Is to call
and look up these matters in commune
ties where there seems to be an in
terest in them. This Is only part
of the general movement through
which the university is trying to
make itself as useful as possible to the
people in all parts of the state.

lect for deadly work, has led SONS
OF the people who have heard the tria
to believe that the affair was an acct
dent and that Newman did not intenc
to kill Conklin, IF he did do the act
The very fact that Newman swung
around slowly and without any seem
, ingly serious intention may be used
by the defense. Mason Jones says
that he halted the gun, when its
mouth turned toward Conklin, al
though IL Newman is called on the
stand he may refute this testimony
The case is attracting a great deal
CT attention and the court room has
been filled with interested spectators,
who have shown a great deal of at
tention to all OF the proceedings. The
court room has been found to be
very hot. especially during the after
noon, and the court room doors have
been left open to make as much cir
culation of air as is possible.
One of the principal exhibits that
has been introduced in evidence is a
plot of the house and vicinity Of New
mans home. This was drawn by
Charles Hoffman. the government
agent at the reservation. In the court
yesterday Hoffman was asked il he
could draw the plot of the affair re-
garding the location Of certain places
and he tsated that he could. with the
aid of the ruler. Hewas directed by
the court to prepare the drawing,
which he did. The plan is Frequently
referred to by both attorneys and diff
ferent witnesses and constantly called
upon to point out certain places and
spots indicated in the drawing.
Mrs. Mason Jones was the main
witness for the prosecution yesterday
afternoon. Her testimony had to be
taken through an interpreter which
made the progress of the trial very
slow. >-'~
Mrs. Jones gave some good points
for the benefit of the government, but
Attorney Barnett was held back from
drawing her out in a number of
places. whereas had he been allowed
to proceed, her testimony might have
had more effect
The testimony given by Mrs. Jones
was relative to incidents before the
shooting of Conklin the murdered
man. She stated that Newman had
been of quarrelsome nature prior
to the shooting and that although she
and Mrs. Newman had been at the
house the morning of the shooting
ARRAY, they had run away from the
house when they saw him coming.
She stated that the reason for their
leaving the house was that they were
afraid Of him when be was intoxi.

James Eagle! the chief of police of
the Indian reservation. was on the
stand today. He testified regarding
the search for Newman after the kill
ing of Conkln and OF the capture. The
capture was affected by Eagle. who
saw Newman returning from across
the country and with a rifle ready for
action. He went out to meet New
man and made the arrest. which was
several hours after the shooting oc-

Judge Barnett called Charles Hoff.

There is no complaint to offer, how

Speaking of repartee that some
times comes up between attorneys and
witnesses in court, Judge w. c. Craw.
ford, who is sitting in the Bickford
case. told this one:
In the BrintOn case recently tried at
Mandan, the defense had a witness by
the name of Frost. upon whom the de-
Tense greatly relied. At certain
stage Of the trial Attorney Hildreth,
the prosecutor, turned to Brinton's at
torney and said: Firing on your Frost
now; I'll burn him up"
Frost took the witness stand.
"You were convicted of running a
, blind pig in a certain town of this
state recently, were you not?" thun-
dered Hildreth.
Eyes. sir" replied Frost.
well, didn't you know that the state
prohibitory law applied down there as
we'll as In other parts of the state?"
Hildreth asked.
"Well, the law didn't apply down
there at that time." retorted Frost.
But I got in bad with the states

who doesn't know about the trial

who fixed 6:15 as the hour for the

The intense heat and consequent in
convenience and almost suffering of
court attaches caused Clerk Of Court
H. C. Hanson to recall the conditions

There is little likelihood that the
