RULING OF COURT BARS IVA
PATTERSON FROM WIT
NESS STAND AND WEAK
EMS CASE.
PECULIAR QUESTION WAS UP
Jury Brings in a Verdict Of Ac.
quital Last Night After
Few Hours.

The jury in the case of United
States VS.. J.sO. Hansel, charged with
violation of the Mann act, brought
in a. verdict of acquittal last evening
after four hours deliberation.
The governments case was consid-
erably weakened by the fact that Iva
Patterson Hansel, the woman whom
the government claimed was trans
ported from state to state, was made
an incompetent witness by ruling
of the court
They Were Married.
iHansel, who resides near New Eng
land, was charged with taking the
woman. Iva Patterson, also resident
of that vicinity, from Scranton, N.
d., to Lennon, S. D., for immoral
purposes and later transporting her
from Leihmon, S. D., to Terry, Mont.
Hansel was married man and the
woman was unmarried. This alleged
offense is said to have been commit
ted in February, 1914
Iva Patterson was one of the gov.
ernment's witnesses before the grand
Jury which indicted Hansel, but when
the case came to trial here and she
was called as witness by the gov
ernment, defendant, through his coun'
sci, objected to her testifying, on the
ground that she is now his wife.
Went to Montana.
iHansel's first wife secured a dl-
vorce from him about November 2,
1914, and on the next day Hansei
and Iva Patterson went to Montana
and were united in marriage by JUS
tice and came back to this state.
On this showing the defendant
claimed that Iva Patterson was his
legal wife and that she was there,
fore an incompetent witness against
him and could not testify agains
him.
The government contended that Iva
Patterson was not Hansels legal
wife, for the reason that when his
first wife obtained q divorce from
him it was provided in the decree
that he, being the guilty party,
should not be married again for SIX
months. The marriage in Montana
the day after the granting of the de-
cree, the government contended, was
a nullity, being only fraudulent pro
cedure to keep the woman from testl'
flying against Hansel and was there
fore not legal marriage and the wo'
man was competent witness against
,Hansel.
The Courts Ruling.
The question for the court to deter
mine, therefore. resolved into this:
Should the North Dakota statute be
construed so as to prohibit the de-
fendant, Hansel, from being married
in any other state within the proh1b'
tied time; or SHOULD it be so con-
strued as to prohibit him from being
married in his home state only within
the prohibited time?
AS the North Dakota supreme court
has never vet passed on this statute,
Judge Booth construed it as other
state courts construed statutes hav-
ing similar wording and held the mar
riage good. which ruling made the
woman an incomDetent witness.
Thirty More Jurors.
Thirty additional jurors have been
ordered to report on Monday, March
%. The jim Jam Jems case is mark
ed for trial on that date.

healthful waters, the delightful

eral are dissatisfied and ask why
was the fountain removed-it
ruins the little beauty we had to

Was it done to give some one

subject the town to the expense of

Instead of this, why not those in

gether to improve and beautify
our town, people with money

The Herald's. Position Also

This paper again, firmly but
kindly repeats that it will not pub
fish contributions which in the
judgement Of its editor will be
harmful. Communications cal
culated to be helpful to the com
munity are welcomed; articles
that amount to nothing one way
or the other are tolerantly accept
ed when we can handle them; but
those the intention of which is to
stir up trouble, or to vent spite or
spleen, must seek some other me-
dunn for publicity. Some people
apparently think they have an alb
solute right to demand the publ
cation of anything they may of
fer. This is mistake. This
newspaper is the personal proper
ty of its owner, and he reserves
the right to reject anything the
publication of which he may
consider undesirable. He has
a duty to the community, and he
expects to fulfill it, regardless
of the unreasonable demands
of irresponsible persons who do
not care how harmful commun-
ication may be, to tho. town, to the
paper, or to individuals, so long as
they get their views aired. This

Mr.. Editor:

Mr.. Editor:
/ wish to express my sentiment
and it is also the sentiment Of the
most of the town people | find,
that the moving away of the water
fountain is a detriment to the
town and people. The people en-
joyed meeting and drinking at the
fountain, and could sit on the
stone curbing and enjoy the wa
ter, and those having teams of
horses could drive up without any
inconvenience and give the horses
drink.
As it now is, it is very inconven-
lent, especially for horses. One
team comes in the way of another,
then each one must back and turn
round, and all in all it is nui-
sance. As it was before, it was

could be, or would be so unwise
as to remove the fountain which
