GUILTY OF KILLING WIFE
Verdict of Jury at Grand Forks Com
mended by Judge.

Finding Matt Holum, ~sixty-seven
years OF age, guilty of manslaughter
and recommending his punishment at
fifteen years the jury in court at
Grand Forks received the
dation of Judge w. J. Kneeshaw for
its verdict. Holum was charged with
murder of his wife.
"Gentlemen,' said Judge kneeshaw,
your verdict in this case meets with
my approval. The only question was
that OF the penalty. In discharging
your duty faithfully and in accord
ance with your oath you have lone
your duty toward the state. Verdicts
of not guilty in cases where there
can be no question of guilt tend to-
ward a state of anarchy and are re-
sponsible for lynchings."
Holum was accused of killing his
wife at their home near Milton last
June. The woman died from injuries
which the husband said were the eff
feet of a kick from a horse, but which
the state maintained were administer
ed by the husband.
