ALL WILL GET THE
NDETERM|NATE
SENTENCE ....
Five to Twenty Years Is the
Period They Must Serve
in State Prison

The closing chapter Of the Ole
Kjormoe murder case was written to-
day when Frank Hawks and NJ. H.
Pederkin pleaded guilty to the charge
Of manslaughter in the first degree.
Carroll pleaded guilty. some time ago
following his confession. and Fred
Dale. pleaded guilty to manslaughter
noon.
No sentence has as yet been i'm
posed IN the four men and it is be-
lieved that Judge Watts will not
specify the time which the men must
serve. The penalty for manslaughter
in the first degree In Minnesota is
confinement in the states prison for
a term Of not less than Ave and not
more than twenty years. The attor-
neys in the case in conference believe
that Carroll, Dale and Hawks were
entitled to the minimum and it is I'M
derstood that they will be released
at the expiration Of the five year
period, or four years and sever months
under good behavior.
Afforded No Chance.
The evidence given in the case, es-
was such that the defending attorneys
felt that there was not a loophole for
escape any place and that the best
plan for the accused men would be
to plead guilty. According to one Of
the attorneys. Pederkin started the
action which resulted, in Kjormoe's
murder when he told the other men
that the victim had $50. He it was
also that secured the choral. Con-
sidering those facts 1t was believed
for a time today that Pederkin would
be placed OF trial for murder in the
first degree. but the expense Of the
trial and the fact that under the plea
Of guilty of manslaughter in the frst
degree. he would still be liable for
twenty years In prison he was allowed
to plead that

AND PEDERKM TODAY JOIN
PALS IN MAKING PLEAS OF GUILTY

mental in causing his son to plead
guilty. The father after having heard
the testimony of Taylor and Carroll,
saw that there was no hope and told
the attorney for the defense that his
son deserved punishment.
An interesting feature in regard to
n Dale case Is that the defense
which Attorney Rowe was to have
made was temporary insanity. Dale
although but &c years old has been an
exceedingly heavy drinker. He had
taken the Keeley cure three different
times. When under the influence OF
liquor Dale has completely lost his
mind and has been unable to remem.
Der incidents that happened while he
was partly Dr. entirely intoxicated. The
attorneys in the case state that he
swears he has no ~recollections Of the
events Of election night, November Z.
when the mrrder of Kjormoe was
perpetrated.
