Cando, y. D., April 1.-The Benson
county child-murder case resolved it
self into battle of the medical ex'
perts this afternoon, when expert tes-
timony directly contradictory to that
offered by the prosecution was put
into the record by the defense.
Dr. l.. Shultz of Minnewaukan who
examined. the body of the child, for
the murder of which Elmer and Betsy
Jones and Mrs. Han Sogge are on
trial, swore. that it was impossible to
tell whether the infant was delivered
dead or alive; and that if born alive
it was impossible to determine wheth
er death was due to exposure or not
In that the whole fight hinges on this
one point, it is believed tonight that
the defense a. least injected the ques-
ton of "a doubt into the minds of

DEFENSE SCORES
IN kEMPER CASE
Testimony Shows That Record:
Of Bank Were Not Kept
Correctly.

Minot, N. D., April 1.-The defense
scored today in the trial of H. H.
Kemper, charged with the embezzle-
ment Of $4,000 of the Citizens banks
funds, when it was shown that some
of the books and records Of the bank
were not kept in the proper manner.
A. H. Kurth, present cashier of the
bank, and assistant cashier when
Kemper was in charge, who was sub
mitted to rigid cross-examination by
Counsel for the Defense E. R. Sink
Ter most of the morning, admitted
that some of the records were not
just right.
Errors in Books. <.. .
1t was further shown by the defense
that notes which were entered in the
Bills Receivable book were not enter
ed in the other books of the bank.
Kurth admitted on the stand that
there were errors in the Bills Rece.v-
able book -..
Evidence had been introduced by
! the state that the books of the bank
did not balance August, 1913, but the
defense produced the report OF the
state bank examiner which showed
that the institution was in good shape
at that time.
Trial Moves Slowly.
The state. is trying to prove Kemp
er's guilt through the books and rec
ords of the bank, but the defense
claims the accounts have been more
or less ggarbled and that there is nc
good foundation For the charges.
Kurth resumed the witness stand
; this afternoon. The trial is moving
slowly and it now appears hardly
probable that it will be finished be-
fore tomorrow. ss-.r .-
