BOYS TESTIFY AT
INQUEST TODAY

Edwin Detlefs, Is, who is held in
the Cass county Jail pending the YER
dict Of the coroner's jury on the
shooting Of Leslie Warner, II, three
miles west of the agricultural college
last Sunday night, had pointed the
loaded shotgun at Warner some time
before the shooting occurred. accord
ing to the testimony of Harry Hoff-
man, 1905 Tenth street north, and
Walter Tibert, 1404 Twelfth avenue
north, at the inquest before DR..
Samuel Mitchell, Mapleton, county
coroner, in the states attorneys Of
flee this morning.
Harry Hoffman, II, and Walter
Tibert IS. testified that they were re-
turning to Fargo after spending the
day on the Sheyenne river and met
Warner and Detlefs on the road,
stopping to ask the time Of the day.
In the conversation that ensued, they
both testified, Warner told them that
that that boob pointed the shotgun
at me, and l took it away from him.
and put the shell in my pocket"
Warner, they said, inquired as to the
location Of the Anderson farm, where
he claimed to have money coming.
A. M. Ross, sheriff, and Louis Dahl
gren chief Of police, who went for
the body after tfs shooting had been
reported, testified to finding the shot
gun with one empty shell beside the
body, which lay by the side of the
road Detlefs, in his story of the at
fair, declared that the gun had been
tied to the saddle Of the horse which
Warner rode.
DetIefs Does Not Testify.
Detlefs did not testify, and was not
at the hearing, taking advantage of
J, I,
self, and declining to testify in his
own behalf.
w. c. Green. assistant states attor-
ney, told the jury that Detlefs stor-
les of the shooting were conflicting,
and that he was unable to reconcile
Delef's statement that the gun was
tied to- the saddle, to the fact that
the gun was found beside the body.
DR.. Mitchell, in answer to an inquiry
from the jury, said that from the
size of the wound and the fact that
there were no powder marks around
it it was evident that the gun was
discharged at a distance Of more
than one foot.
The inquest was adjourned until
early next week to permit G. w.
Cramer, 1923 Fifth avenue south, and
a Mr.. Cassidy, who runs the Barnes
farm four miles west Of Fargo. ma
terial witnesses, to testify. Mr..
Cramer, it was said, gave Detlefs
a ride on the running board Of his au-
tomobile when the latter was looking
for Warmers horse, which ran away
at the discharge Of the gun, while
Mr.. Cassidy is purported to have
heard an argument between the boys.
Mr.. Cramer Is in thetwin cities.
Mr.. Cassidy could not be located this
morning.

that others cooperate with them in
order to win. the war, and to give
common justice to citizens Of this
nation, who are sacrificing every
thing in this great common cause, -
