The Convicting Item.
In the evidence that was drawn out,
the small amount i'm question was
shown to have been paid into the
treasurer's Office by the Flaxton bank

approximately $3.50 in cash I'm the

not known, and it was the theory of
the defense that the $54 in question
was a part of that amount, having
been put into cash and not credited
to the interest account, as it should
have been.
With these points constituting the
principal basis Of attack. the defend
is confident that the supreme court

BICKFORD AFTER
ANOTHER TRIAL
HIS COUNSEL THINKS THERE IS
SUFFICIENT GROUNDS AND
WILL ATTACK VERDICT ON SEW
ERAL GROUNDS = HEARING IS
SET FOR AUG. 81.

Grand Forks Times: That there ex-
lists sufficient grounds for the motion
for a new trial to make almost certain
the setting aside Of proceedings all
ready had, is the belief entertained by
counsel for g. L. Bickford, the former
treasurer Of North Dakota. convicted
recently at Washburn of embezzle-
ment. Aug. 81 is the date that was
hxed by Judge Crawford for the hear
ing OF the new trial motion, but the
present indications are that 1t will be
some time later before the case is heard
inasmuch as there mas been an una
voidabe delay In the transcribing Of
the evidence.
One OF the first grounds upon which
the verdict of the district court OF
Mclean county will be attacked will
be that relative to the soundness OF
the information itself. District court
judges have twice ruled on the feature.
the efforts Of the defense to have the
information set aside both times being
fraught only with failure.
Contains Several Counts.
In the information. the legality Of
which is questioned. the charge Is
embezzlement. To make up that charge
there are several items. namely. the
so-called Barnes county deal, the In
surance money and certain deposits on
checks. The total amount with which
Bickford was originally accused OF EN-
bezzling was s6O,4S0. or that amount
$4,000 is identified being the insur-
ance money. $15,4s0 is the Barnes coun-
ty item, and $4,000 Is the deposit in
the Bowbells bank which, at the time.
belonged to Mr.. Bickford.
During the trial of the case, each
OF these items were shown to be clear
Iy defined and separate Of each other.
The claim the defense makes is that
under the North Dakota law, 1t is not
Iegal to try man on three separate
criminal offenses at the same time.

information does alIege three different
