The three South American diplo-

MINISTER Tells
STORY TO JURY
Arrests May Follow Kidnapping Of
Minister by Advocates of
q "Wet" Town.

Danville, ILL.,, May 24.-The arrest
of the men said to be concerned in
the alleged kidnapping of Local Op.
tion Leader Rev. Louis r. Patmont,
who disappeared March 81 from West
vile and was found Saturday, bound
and gagged, in an abandoned farm
house near Columbia, is expected to
result, because of the testimony the
minister gave before the grand jury
today.
States Attorney Lewman refused to
give out the evidence which Patmont
gave, but said there was much not
made public upon which he hoped to
obtain the arrest and conviction of
the men back of the minister's abduc-
ton.
Patmont will continue his story to.
morrow. The authorities are doing
their utmost to locate the automobile
in which PatmOnt said he was kid
naped. Patmont's inability to identify
the machine is attributed to the fact
that 1t was dark when he rode in it.
Though strangers to him, Patmont
says he believes he could identify the
four men who kidnapped him If he say
them again.

FORMER STATE TREASURER
BICKEORl MUST. .GQ,iT0 JAIL
Supreme Court AffirmS Sentence of OFF,
cial But Reverses Fine
of $4,000
LONG LEGAL STRUGGLE ENDS

G.. L. -Bickford, ex-state treasurer
of North Dakota, must serve a SEN
tence of not less than one year nor
more than three years in the peniten-
tiary of North Dakota.
A decision handed down by the
state supreme court reaftirms the
verdict of the district court in one
particular, wherein a sentence to pen
al servitude was imposed and revers-
es it insofar as the assessment Of
$4,000 fine was imposed. JUS tice
Bruce wrote the opinion and all other
justices concurred. ... y......
Long Drawn Out Case. s."
This is one of the longest drawn
out criminal cases that has ever been
tried in the courts of North Dakota.
Four years have elapsed since the
first criticisms were heard in refer
ence. to the state treasurer's Office,
during the incumbency of G. l.. Bick-
ford. At this time reports gained gen
eral circulation throughout the state
and many charges were directed
against the Office. =.
When Gunder Olson took charge of
the office, some of the records turned
over to him did not seem satisfactory
and Mr.. Olson demanded that experts
audit the books before he accepted
charge OF the finances of the state.
This, Bickford's friends did not de-
sire. However, an examination was
begun and resulted in charges of en-
bezzlement against Mr. Bickford. War
rants were issued out of the late JUS
tice w. E. Perry's court on the 18th
day of January, 1911, and Bickford
was Immediately arrested. At tho
preliminary hearing bonds were fur
nished in the sum of 100000 and the
treasurer was allowed to 60.
January 27, Had Hearing. A..
On January q of that year, hear
ing was had in the case and the case
of the County of Burleigh filed by
States Attorney w. l.. Smith was dis
missed on motion of Mr.. Smith. The
other, issued at the request of An
drew Miller, attorney general, charg-
ing embezzlement, was not dismissed
and the defendant was bound over td.
the district court under heavy bonds,
which were Immediately furnished by
friends of the defendant. I
The constitutionality of the law un-
der which G.. l.. Bickford was SEN
fenced to the penitentiary for embez-
zling funds from the treasury of North
Dakota during the year 1910 has been
upheld. The question of Mr.. Bick-
ford's going to the penitentiary has
been finally settled and so soon as
he is brought to Bismarck he will be
placed in charge of the officials at the
penitentiary and the time given him
will have to be served.
Last Hope Gone.
When the supreme court handed

down the decision on the constitution
ality of the law under which Bick
ford was sentenced, the last prop on
which the ex-state treasurer leaned
was swept away and he will soon be
on his way to the colony under charge
Of Warden Talcott.
Charged With Embezzling 100000.
In the original charge, BiCkford was
alleged to have embezzled 100000 of
the money of the state. During the
trial this was reduced greatly and as
the entire sum had been replaced ex'
cept the interest on small amount
This was retained by the defendant
and on this sum, less than one hun
dred dollars, the prosecution hung its
case and secured a conviction. The
sentence was from one to three years
and $4,000 fine, the fine was to cover
twice the amount embeZZled and the
costs of the case.
a Stay Granted For Appeal.
Immediately the case was closed a
stay was granted to allow the attOr-
neys for the defense to prepare an
appeal. This appeal was taken to
the supreme court and the case was
affirmed. Later an amendment to the
appeal was filed and this time the
constitutionality of the statute was
brought into the case from different
angle and the right of the trial court
to sentence to prison and to fine at
the same time was attacked.
The Result.
1t was held by the court that part
of section or a part of a sentence
can be constitutional, even though d
portion of the clause or sentence he
held as unconstitutional. Thus the
question as to the imposition of SEN
.tence to the pententiary was upheld
and the other part, referring to the
fine, was found invalid.
Whole Act Not Invalid.
In commenting on the case, Judge
A. A.. Bruce, who wrote the decision,
said: "The question before the su-
preme court was the constitutionality
of the act regarding the imposition of
both fine and imprisonment The
statute required that the fine be paid
to the state or municipality injured;
the constitution requires that the fine
be paid to the general school fund,
therefore, the court held that the pro-
vision for the fine was invalid, but
this did not invalidate the whole act
or the whole sentence of conviction.
The court sustained the sentence as
far as the term of Imprisonment was
concerned, but RENTED the fine as
unconstitutional. All members of the
court concurred in the opinion"
Never Brought Up Before.
Further on in his remarks, Judge
Bruce mentioned that this question

Another Attack on Tribune

Through the kind Offices of the Fargo
Forum, Congressman George NJ.
Young has been given another oppor.
tunity to attack the Bismarck Trib.
une.
The voters of the Second Consres.
sional District are not interested in
any quarrel which Mr.. Young may
have with the Tribune, but as he has
seen fit to print another long attack
against us we will answer it, so far as
it pertains to the Tribune.
The Tribune or its editor has no
quarrel with Mr.. Young and, as it
takes two to make a quarrel, we re-
fuse to be drawn into personalities
by the Second District Congressman.
We intend to discuss campaign issues,
not our private affairs, before the
voters Of the district.
With this explanation as q preface,
we will proceed to tap Mr.. Young
gently on the left wrist in perfectly
ladylike manner .....
This is the last answer Congress
man Young will receive in these col
umns to his scurrilous attacks upon
US. The Bismarck Tribune is not an
issue in the Second District Congress
sional campaign, but Mr.. Young is
lnasmuch as Congressman Young is
disturbed over the alleged failure OF
the Tribune to pay its former Wash
ington correspondent. Robert Nc
Wade, who, upon investigation, turn
ed out to be Mr.. Young's press agent
in disguise, we invite him to visit the
Tribunes counting department and
inspect the books for himself. Such
an inspection will show that the Slate
between McWade and ourselves is
clean.
According to Congressman Young,
Bob" McWade is on a strike because
he has not been paid for year. What
that has to do with Young's candidacy
we do not know, but II 1t will COM
pose Mr.. Young any to have evidence
that Bob" is only feigning strike"
we will cheerfully furnish the same.
'Eob's" resignation has been &C,
cepted.
His place has been taken by an.
other correspondent, who Is writing
the dispatches which are arousing Mr..
Young's ire.
i So ,far,:tn. tina campaign, thas q rib.I

be glad to receive them also. Some

with our alleged troubles and short

When Mr. Young allows his
thoughts to 60 joy-riding again, he
should be sure of his facts.
