EqU,~ Case Will
Be r. | on Merits
Pollock Overrules
Motion to Dismiss

Overruling, late yesterday afternoon,
the motions for the defense to dismiss
or in falling to secure this to cause
the state to elect which section of the
statutes it was proceeding under, Judge
C, A. Pollock continued the hearing of
the state against the Equity Co-opera-
tive Exchange.
The morning session was dry in the
extreme, the only enlivening feature
being when Attorney Manahan for the
defense attempted to introduce only
certain portions of afffdavits by ad-
verse witnesses The defense contend
ed, in the resulting argument, that
there were volunteer statements by
some of these witnesses by which it
did not care to be bound while the
state counsel held that If the defense
introduced any portion OF an affidavit
1t must be bound by all the state
ments made in it. The state counsel
gyuggested that the volunteer state
ments were necessary because OF the
refusal and failure of the attorneys
for the Equity to permit certain ad-
verse witnesses to make complete an
swers to the questioning of the de-
tense. The court sustained the cb-
lection of the state.
The morning was largely devoted to
the classification of 800 affidavits and
1000 pages of depositions submitted
by the defense. OF these affidavits
there were some twenty introduced for
the purpose of attempting to refute the
charges of bad faith and fraud made
in affidavits introduced by the state.
A large portion of them were from
customers OF the Equity who claim to
be satisfied and quite a number intro
duced under the head of finances and
exchange including officers Of three
St. Paul banks. officers and the ex
change and public accountants. The
documents were grouped roughly under
these three heads.
The affidavits introduced by salts
fled customers included those from
farmers elevator managers and inde-
pendent shippers purporting to show
what the results OF their transactions
with the Equity CO. operative Exchange
had been. There were some 800 in this
group.

Reunion This Morning

Nearly 200 delegates were in attend
ance at the opening session OF the
Hadelandslagets which opened at the
Sons CO Norway hall this morning
President Thos Walby, of the or
ganization, called the meeting to order
after considerable time had been al
lowed for handshaking and renewing
old acquaintances. j. G. Halland, OF
the local Morse society. welcomed the
visitors to Fargo and was responded
to in few well chosen remarks by
President Walby.

legates arrived on the mid afternoon
trains. The session was largely de-
voted to routine business and the

fication arranged in order to facilitate
the work OF the court, the real pro-
ceedings again started, the defense put
ting M. w. Thatcher of st. Paul, an
accountant, on the stand for the pur-
pose of bringing out the results OF his
check Of the Equity books and showing
what discrepancies existed between lis
results and the results Of Accountants
Salvesen of Minneapolis and Walter
Thompson of this city The Salveson
and Thompson findings were intro
duced last month by the state end the
work this morning was going over the
reports item by item and having Mr..
Thatcher go into detail as to the cause
of the differences that existed.
In round figures the differences on
totals were as follows: Assets OF the
Equity were shown by Salvesen at
$4,000; Thompson. $224,00; Thatcher,
1921, 900. Liabilities-Salvesen, 1927, 900;
Thompson, $215,000; Thatcher, S176, 900.
Deficit in capital as placed by Salvesen
was $24,740.83; Thompson, $35, 1926;
Thatcher, $4,740.s3. Ali agreed on the
deficit but there was disagreement as
to what the value of certain assets
was. There was, for instance, an arbi-
trary value set on organization" by
Thatcher, which he explained was the
same as good wilP' to the amount
that the Equity had expended in secur-
ing business and in advertising. This
he figured at an asset to the value of
that spent.
Yesterday afternoon the session con-
tinued to about $3.50 o'clock, Judge
Pollock stating earlier in the day that
union hours would have to be stretched
out considerably and that he may have
to hold night sessions If 1t is seen that
the case cannot be completed before

cipal feature of the proceedings yes

overruling the motions stated that he
believed that the state was bringing
the action in good faith.
After the overruling of the motions
Judge Mum then outlined the line. of
defense that will be taken by the SCUM
