LAYER CASE AT
BISMARCK TODAY
Opposing Afidavits Are In.
troduced; Further Investi-
\, cation Urged.

Bismarck, n. D., Nov. 27.-Discpv
cry i'll the last few days of bloody
busting cap of woman, one real
mask and another piece of cloth
which might have been made by lit
tie girl on the Jacob Wolf farm was
put forward by Attorney Kelly before
Judge Nuessle today as strong rea-
son why Henry Layer, serving life
term in the penitentiary for the nsur-
der Of eight people at Turtle Lake,
should be allowed to withdraw his
plea Of guilty and stand trial.
No Direct Bearing.
"I'll agree that this evidence has no
bearing on the defendants position,
however, except that it may be evil
dcnce that lie had some help in the
crime and that woman helped him.
added Attorney Kelly. But it is
newly discovered evidence and does
indicate that there is a discrepancy i'll
the evidence and statements in this
case, which should be probed to the
bottom"
States Attorney Williams declared
that little importance could be at
tached to it. Kelly protested that he
didn't want Layer freed If guilty. but
that the conditions justified a new
trial and probe. He presented affi-
davits of Layer that he confessed un-
der threat of mob violence. that third
degree methods were used and that
he was beaten. E.Sg}i &e& 1890,
Anidayits Contradict.
Supporting affidavits were fxom pri-
son barber and Dr. c. u. :.Stackhousc
to the effect that he had bruises on
his head. Counter af1idavits were
subnsitted by States Attorney John
Williams and Attorney General Lang
er.
Among them were affidavits from
the former warden of prison, Charles
Mcdonald, Felix Smith, dog trainer at
the prison and Richard Wildes, guard,
to the effect that Layer was stripped
and his body examined and that his
body bore no bruises or marks of any
kind.
Z Aftidavits also were presented to the
effect that Layer after being sem
fenced asked the court that he be
permitted to visit his home for a day
to arrange affairs and therefore could
not have been afraid of mob vio-
lence.
Judge Nuessle interposed that word
had come to him that Layer while. in
the prison hospital suffering frona a
carbunckle. had said that pain was
visited on him because of murder.
The judge said he didn't know
whether it was true but suggested it
might be investigated.
States Attorney John Williams. in
answering the talk about the finding
of woman's cap, said that it had
been found by little girl now liv-
ing on the farm. He had been in
formed but he thought it strange that
it was not found when hundreds of
people searched every foot of the
place while the murder investigation
was on. He said that one piece of
goods reported as mask was simple
a piece of clothing that had been
used to blacken a stove.
J. Arguments are on this afternoon.

Bankers to Help.

Bismarck, N. D., Nov. 27-The
larger banks of North Dakota, banks
of Minneapolis, st. Paul and other
cities will provide any funds neces-
sary for banks in North Dakota dur
ing the period of transition resulting
from the initiated law permitting the
deposits Of public funds to be with
drawn. This information was gwen
here today by one of the leading
bankers Of the western part Of the
state. who himself is prepared to give
aid In the situation.
Bankers have turned cold shou1-
der to the suggestion that special
session of the legislature be called to
repeal the law. 1t is stated avthori-
tatively that there will be mo special
session unless the bankers demand it.
Even though the law does not be-
come effective until next week, the
opinion was expressed by,a member
Of tho banking board, following q
meeting last evening, that the worst
had passed in: the banking situation.
Most of the 16 banks which have
been closed will be !. reopened," he
said. .'All they need is ready cash to
keep up their reserves. and this they
will i get Depositors know their
money, is safe because it is guaran-
teed. "A few of the weaker banks will
be closed forever without much loss
even to stockholders, and the state
will be better of. - 8sa
