John Dingman's testimony with ref
erence to Cowan's presence in the
Vanderhoof hotel in Devils Lake dur
ing the time the Shafer case was in

nesses.

Adjournment Record Made
Record of the decision of the SEN
ate not to adjourn was made late in
the day on roll call, only one vote
being cast against the plan of not ad-

yes because he thought the attorneys
ought to know the law and have their
case ready when they went into court.

next question, declared that there had
been some talk Of intimidation or in

9 statement in the morning. That
was the statement with reference to
new presiding officer. He said that
he had received a letter from his
wife in the afternoon and that she
had told him to stay by the job If it
took all summer.

explained by the president in effect
that his statement was not made for
any purpose whatsoever so far as in,
fuencing was concerned, and he felt
that all members of the senate were
perfectly aware Of that fact.

marks Of senators with reference to
the adjournment, there having been
several motions that were out of Or
der, making rather bad record.

the nature Of these it appears that

feature of the impeachment case, have
