II being a good American citizen is

If it isn't good cause for removal,
The Forum can think Of no other
reason for retiring Mr.. Doyle to priv

comfortable feeling to have a man OF
Mr.. Doyle's calibre acting as Uncle

Hazelton Double Murder
Calmly Discussed By

Linton, n. D., March 6.-With the
blood Of two fellow men resting on
his head, Clarence White seemed in
good spirits today, enjoying hearty
breakfast and talking freely with
Sheriff MeinhoYer and States Attor-
ney Campbell regarding the shoot
ing.
He faces the charge Of killing
Charles ID. Sloan and his half broth
er, r. S. Piatt, at Hazelton, this
county, Monday.
The double slayer made a full and
frank statement of the shooting to
States Attorney Campbell last night,
bearing out the facts as presented
Monday. He and Sloan, said White,
had been the closest Of friends up to
two months ago, when Sloan, the
slayer claims, made his first charges
against White of intimacy with q
Hazelton woman. These charges
were frequently repeated, said White,
and became a matter Of common
knowledge. Monday Sloan came in
with the avowed determination Of
having a settlement with White. He
called White over to his automobile,
and the men exchanged perhaps 20
words when, White alleges, Sloan
called him q vile name and declared

followed White into the Hazelton
Mercantile Co, and there exchanged
more shots with him. Piatt's aim
was wild, but White, who Is a we'll
known crack shot, registered every
one of the six bullets contained in
his revolver.
White does not claim that he was
suffering from a brain storm or men
tai ALTERATION or any unusual ex-
element at the time of the shooting.
In his own mind he lis quite clearly
convinced that he was justified in
acting as he did; that Sloan had Civ
en- him ample provocation, and that.
in the final analysis, he acted in self
defense.
1T probably will not be possible to
give White his preliminary examina-
ton inside Of ten days, said Scott
Cameron, states attorney for EN-
mons county. Il have other work in
the county which will keep me fully
occupied for that length Of time, I'm

ing, it win not be held before the
middle Of the month. Mr.. Whites
statement to me is very complete. lie
claims that he acted in both IN
stances in self defense. The prisoner
does not appear depressed. He de-
livered himself up, and he is giving
the sheriff no trouble. No demon
stration Of any kind was. made when
we left Hazelton with white to bring
him to the county Jail here.
Neither Sheriff Meinhover nor
States Attorney Cameron has re-
vealed the identity of the woman in
the case.
HazsIEop Divided
Hazelton, N. D., March 6.-Hazel-
toms sympathies have been divided
by Mondays tragedy, which is nat
urally the center of all CONVEX
sations today. News of the death Of
r. s. Piatt, in the Bismarck hospital,
was received here with genuine re-
gret. Probably no three men in EN-
mons county were more generally
popular than White and his two vic
Tins, Charles ID. Sloan and Mr.
Piatt. White came here from South
Dakota with Sloan two years ago,
and always seemed a member of the
family until two months ago, when
bad blood developed. Sloan was the
father of a large family, having six
at home and one married.
Piatt is survived by a young widow.
White is single. Little is known of
mis- past. He is said to be a south
erner, but Is believed to have lived
with the Sloans in South Dakota.
