prisonment.

St. Paul, June 30.-Frank J. Dunn
was found guilty yesterday by a
Ramsey county court jury, which
tried him on a charge of first degree
murder as instigator of the killing OF
his wife, Alice McQuillan Dunn.
The jury was out hardly more than
two hours. Dunn showed no emotion
when the verdict was read.
Judge Hanft sentenced Dunn to
life Imprisonment at hard labor in the
state penitentiary at Saltwater.
Dunn was the fourth man to be
tried in connection with the murder
of Mrs. Dunn and Policeman George
Connery in Minneapolis. Joe Reden-
baugh, whom the state claims was
hired by Dunn to kill his wife con-
fessed both murders and was SEN
fenced to life term in the peniten-
tiary for staying Connery. Frank
McCool, his pal was sentenced to 80
years imprisonment for the same
crime. Mike Moore, St. Paul bar
tender, charged with having acted as
Dunn's agent in arranging the kill
ing of Mrs. Dunn and in paying
Redenbaugh and McCool, is serving
a life term on conviction of first de-
gree murder.
Mrs. Dunn was shot and killed in
her bed early in the morning of
April 26. The state cited as motives
for Dunn's part in the case that he
grew tired of paying the $40 monthly
alimony and that he wanted to marry
again, his wife having refused on
religious grounds a complete divorce

MAYOR POTIE SERVES
ONE YEAR IN PRISON
Back in France After Having
Been Captured by Germans
and Made to Learn the
Tailor Trade.

Correspondence OF The Associated Press }
Paris, June 5.-Auguste Potie,
brick manufacturer, senator from the
Department of the Nord and mayor
| i, Haubourdin, has made his first ap-
pearance in the senate since the
spring OF 1914 and announced to his
colleagues that he had in the mean
time learned the trade of tailor in a
German prison.
Senator Potie was sent to prison
in July, 1915, for having reminded
the commanding officer of the occu-
pying forces, who happened to be a
Greek officer in the service of Ger
many, that article 81 of The Hague
convention was contrary to the
forced employment of the inhabi-
tants in invaded districts on work of
military nature for the benefit of
the invaders.
Loaded Down With Fines.
Haubourdin is only three miles
from the battlefront and the inhabi-
tants were called upon for all sorts
Of service, burdened with excessive
acquisitions and loaded with fines
and vexations of all sorts. -
( Ten young girls in the Saint Au-
gustin orpheum asylum at Haubour-
din had been ordered by the Germans
to make burlap sacks. When they
learned that the sacks were to be
filled with sand and used as ram
parts against the French they refused
to work. M. Cordonnier, director of
the flax mill from which was requisi-
toned the materia! to. make the
sacks, was held responsible for the
strike, and on his refusal to under
take the manufacture of the sacks
was fined 1000 francs and held as
hostage until the work should be re-
sumed.
Refuses to Furnish Sacks.
Captain Argyropoulos, the Greek
officer in command, then summoned
Monsieur Potie to furnish the sacks.
He refused. The German commander
fined him 1000 francs while most Sc
we're measures were taken against
the entire population. Subsequently
NJ. Potie and M. Cordonnier were
both fined 500 francs by General
Krug Won Nida, commanding the
Twenty-fourth division at Lambers-
art. A few days later, after he had
posted a letter, invoking The Hague
treaty, Senator Potie was arrested.
Both he and M. Cordonnier were
condemned without having appeared
before any tribunal to pay fines of
5000 francs and to serve one year in
prison, the terms of prison 70 be in
creased eleven months in default of
payment Of the fines. Confined at
Loos, then at Aix-1a- Chappelle and
Cologne, they were finally taken to
the prison of Siegbt -g. There their
heads were shaved; they were
clothed in prison garb, and were
obliged to set to learning the tailor.
ing trade. ~
Both were released in September,
1916, and informed that their penal
ties had been reduced to six weeks.
Last { ear Senator Potie was sent
back to Haubourdin without explana-
ton. Senator Potie refused to re-
sumo his functions as mayor, reply
ing to the Germans that after having
been imprisoned with convicts his
dignity as a Frenchman prevented
him from resuming the functions of
mayor so long as the town was occu-
pied by the Germans.

TACOMAN
IS VICTIM
OF DIVER

James Stewart, a Tacoma sea-
man. is the first person from this
city to fall victim to Germany's
campaign.
Commissioner Petit received
communications Saturday from K.
l.. Sprague, U. s. consul at Glib
raltar, notifying him of Stewards
death, telling of the submarine at
tack, and requesting that the po-
lice commissioner locate and no.
tify the seaman's relatives.
At noon the police had failed to
find any relatives of the dead
sailor.
At the time of the submarine
attack, Stewart was an able-sea-
man on the British steamer Corfu,
which left Philadelphia March 80
for Genoa, Italy. The story of
the submarine attack was related
to Consul Sprague by Frederick C.
Ensminger, a fellow seaman, who
escaped the attack.
Mount 4-Inch Gun.
On the morning of April IL,
when the Corfu was 100 miles
west Of the rock of Gibraltar, a
large German sub aarose near the
vessel, mounted a four-inch gun,
and began firing.
The first shot killed two Brit
ish seamen. The second pierced
the bow of the Corfu. The third
exploded on deck, tearing away
Stewards right arm and leg, kill
ing him almost instantly. The
fourth shot plunge6 into the
steamers stern.
Officers and crew of the Corfu
took to the boats, leaving the Ta-
coma seaman's mutilated body on
deck. Officers of the sub board
ed the Corfu, and a few moments
later departed.
Called Tacoma Home.
They had scarcely reached the
submarine when a bomb in the
hold of the steamer exploded, and
the big ship slid toward the bot
tom, bow first.
Boats containing Capt. Rundell
Harriss of the Corfu and the sur
viving officers and sailors were
picked up by the Spanish barken-
tine Maria Asumcium and landed
at Rabat, Morocco, April 81.
Consul Sprague said that other
sailors on the Corfu reported to
him that Stewart had spoken of
Tacoma many times at his home.

The little group on the border
line stood fascinated.
Then the attache, who had seer
thousands of men train, fight and
die, broke the silence.
They're the finest body oil
fighting men in the world" hi
said. They've had such training
as no other army has had. AND
In them is the spirit of you Ameci
cans-I don't know what 1t is
hut l can see 1t I'm the swing OF
their shoulders and the rhymth oil
their march,"
These men are now waiting
for the word.

geant said while the troops
were marching out:
They'd follow BLACK Jack

And "Black Jack" Pershing
is the man to lead them there

1T will mean that two million
