Grand Forks. N. D., April o.
Atty. George A. Bangs yesterday
afternoon finished his arguments, on
the motion for dismissal of the
bribery charges against Tracy R.
Bangs and James Mahon, and the case
has been turned over to, Judge Phil
Mclaughlin, who will give his decis-
ion next Friday afternoon in, the mat
ter. Mr.. Bangs took the entire morn
ing and afternoon sessions yesterday,
and did not finish until s p. M He
made an eloquent plea for the defend
ants. as .,z.a.gg IT,
No. Rehuttal.
States Attorney Burtness also made
a few brief remarks following Mr..
Bangs. He said that he did not ex-
pect to have an opportunity to reply
to the arguments of the opposing
counsel. and for that reason had very
little to say. Owing to the fact that
!. Mr.. Bangs made the motion for a
dismissal of the action, he was entitled
to the opening and closing arguments,
unless the court permitted the state
to reply. AT the close Of Mr.. Bangs
address Judge Mclaughlin. asked Mr..
Burtness If he had anything more to
say.
During the arguments yesterday Mr..
up crookedness on the part of the op-
posing counsel and those associated
with him in the hearing. In scathing
terms he denounced Andy Sullivan and
Detectives Hatfield and Bradfield,
calling the latter a t'stool pigeon
Basis for slander.
In continuing his address yesterday
afternoon, Mr.. Bangs said that the
this case should not be given any Gre
dence and should be thrown out of
court. He declared that this mans
testimony amounted to- nothing except
so far as IL would lay a foundation
3or slander and perjury. He said that
the man had shown himself to be
guilty Of lying time and again.
In continuing, Mr.. Bangs said in
part:
aHe has stopped to every low, mean,
nasty, miserable, contemplate thing
possible to try and implicate these de-
PENDANTS. He is perjurer of the
worst sort. He has been trying
throughout this hearing to concoct a
story which will convict these defend
ants Of this crime. Gs
These statements need no denial by
any one. They are shown to be false
by the way in which they have been
drawn out Tic Tracy r.. Bangs is
