RAPID PROGRESS MADE IN

tor and business manager, respect

known as Jim Jam Jems, charged on
two counts with sending obscene lit
erature by express or channels of in
terstate commerce, mixed in the first
round of legal battleat 10000 a. m.
yesterday. Long before the principals
had gathered in the federal court
room every seat was occupied by IN
terested spectators, many OF the lat
er arrivals being sorely disappointed
when unable to gain admittance.
HiIdreth Asks Recess.
In harmony with opinions express
ed by the defendants and their coun-
sci that the trial would be Of short
duration, the government, through its
prosecuting representative, United
States District Attorney NJ. A. Hill
dreth of Fargo, appeared to lose no
time in presenting it's side of the ar
guments with expediency and dis
patch.
During the morning and afternoon
sessions, all prospects Of Mr. Hildreth
completing his evidence and resting
his case by night time We're suddenly
shattered. The governments attor-
ney stated that because the defense
had raised point that the evidence
he had offered was not sufficient to
connect and link up the deposit and
delivery by express of the March
number ok4Jim Jam Jems to certain
outside parts, and as this is a vital
issue in the charge against the de-
PENDANTS, he (Hildreth) had been
obliged to-. wire for an important wit
ness residing in Aberdeen, S. D. This
Witness however, had previously been
given permission to remain at home
because of prospective illness In
the family at Aberdeen. A recess
was asked to ascertain when the wit
ness could arrive. Judge Booth grant
ed the recess and excused the jury
until ID o'clock this morning, after
cautioning them not to discuss the
case or permit its discussion in their
presence, and to safeguard against
the perusal Of newspaper articles lest
they be Influenced by these sources.
This adjournment was taken about
3:45 o'clock. Up to this time, the dis
trict attorney had practically complet-
ed his evidence, and stated that he
did not plan TO- read the articles or
paragraphs in the March and semi
annual issues of the publication about
which the government centers its
charges on these coults. The defense
has no witnesses to introduce, nor
did they at the previous trials in
March and June Of 1918, and counsel
and defendants are Of the opinion
that the trial may wind up late to.
day unless the unexpected again hap
pens.
