LAYER MOTION
FOR TRIAL TO
BE FILED SOON
E. P. Kelly Says That Move
Will Be Made in District
Court at Washburn
SEES LAYER IN PRISON

A motion will be filed within the
next week or ten days in the district
court at Washburn asking for a trial
for Henry Layer, confessed slayer or
eight people at Turtle Lale last April,
E. P. Kelly, of Darlington, attorney
retained by Layers relatives and
friends, said today.
For several weeks Mr.. Morris, part
ner of Mr.. Kelly, had been Investigate
ing the case. Mr.. Kelly talked to Lay
er at the state penitentiary here yes
terday afternoon.
Emphasizing that he believed Judge
W. l.. Nuessle, Of the district court,
who sentenced Layer to the penitent1-
ary for life on his pela of guilty, gave
the defendant every opportunity that
a court is charged with giving an ac-
cused man, Mr.. Kelly stated that the
petition for a trial would be based on
the subsequent investigation.
The attorneys for Layer hold that
the crime probably was committed by
more than one person. They say it is
hardly possible that Layer could have
killed the seven members of Jacob
VOLTS family and the chore boy by
the use of shotgun. They hold that
the circumstances show that Layers
confession of guilt was false.
Layer is said to be in good health.
He is working in the prison laundry.
He has been seen on the streets OF
Bismarck several times recently, ac-
commanded nv guard, coming in to
have his eyes treated.
