tBy Associated Press Leased Wlre.1
Fargo, N. D. - With the outcome of
Fridays recall election against state
officials virtually determined, efforts
were renewed today to learn the fate
of several proposed constitutional
amendments and initiative laws.
The measures sought to liquidate the
Bank of North Dakota, a state owned
institution and to make other changes
in the Nonpartisan Leagues industrial
program. If all have been defeated, as
claimed by the League state campaign
headquarters. the new Independent adj
ministration will have to proceed with
execution of the Leagues program. The
proposed laws were sponsored by the
Independents and opposed by the Non
partisans. Independent headquarters
admitted "some of them" were lost,
With about so scattered precincts
missing, R. A. Nestos, Independent
candidate for governor still had
lead of more than six thousand over
his opponent, Governor L. J. Frazier
Svienbjorn Johnson, Independent can

courts questioning as the counsel for
the witness, on the ground that it is
incompetent, irrelevant and immater-
E'ial.
an Walker: II object to interpretations

| Judge Belden: Mr.. Hammond will
not interpose between the court and
the witness.
Judge Belden then proceeded:
| Mr.. Birmingham, do you understand
that in the administration of justice
land enforcement of lawathe interests
of the state, that is of all the people,
are to be considered as we'll as the in
| terests of one accused of violation, of
the law?
answer: Well, don't believe in
violating the law.
| Do you consider the possibility, not
probability of prosecution and compar-
atively trivial penalty above your duty
as citizen to participate in law en-
forcement by way of testimony?
Answer: I don't know what to say.
l want my rights.
1 am not advised as to the states
evidence. But assuming the state has
no other witnesses in this case, do you
understand and appreciate that your
refusal to testify may impede and per-
haps prevent enforcement of the law
! Answer: don't want to prevent
! enforcement of law, but l want my
rights.
Understanding all these things do
you claim, upon your oath, under
standing and at the peril of perjury
or false swearing, that if you testify
| or confession of offending the law or

you to criminal prosecution
| Answer: Yes.
Do you or do you not claim your con-
stitutional privilege of refusing to
answer.
| Answer: Yes, as it tends to incrim-

Do you refuse to waive your privil-

| Answer: Yes.
I advise you that by testifying you
will not subject yourself to prosecu-

even though advise you that by tes-

Frank Martin, William Kefes,
Charles Murray all pending in the
circuit court of Kenosha county.
He has further advised me of your
appointment as special counsel to
assist the attorney general, and /
accordingly direct you to take
charge of the direction and prose-
cution of said cases. l leave to
your judgment the extent to which
you avail yourself of the assist
ance of the district attorney of
the county and trust that he will
cooperate with YOU"
Questions Powers of Governor.
The governor, in his letter, advised
me that he will direct you to join with
the district attorney of Kenosha county
in the prosecution of all said cases,
but do not know of any statutory or
constitutional authority in the governor
to direct any assistant of the attorney
general. 1t is my conception that he
has adopted the safer course in direct
ing the Attorney general to prosecute,
and that is incumbent on the attorney
general to make his assignment of
counsel from his staff.
Pursuant to such understanding of
the statutes, I directed in my telegram
and hereby direct you to take charge
of the direction and prosecution of the
above enumerated cases. 1t is my con-
ception Of the law that when the at
torney general is directed by the gov
ernor to prosecute a case, he is in
charge of that case, and is not assist
ing the district attorney but is the di-
recting head of the states counsel.
Hopes for Cooperation.
/ trust that you will have every CO.
operation from the district attorney
and will be able to avail yourself of
his assistance. However, you will not
hesitate to exercise your authority as
prosecuting officer in charge OF the
cases at all times. The responsibility
for these prosecutions now rests with
the attorney general rather than with
the district attorney, and have every
confidence that that responsibility and
duty will be properly discharged by
you. Any assistance that this depart
ment can render by way of consulta-
ton or otherwise to assist you in the
discharge of your duties you will be
free to avail yourself of.
With kindest personal regards, I am,
Yours very truly,
& VIM. j. Morgan,
Attorney General.

The celebration discloses an inter
esting romance. Mr.. and Mrs. Berns
were schoolmates and the childhood
comradeship developed into courtship
with the years All plans had been
made for an elaborate celebration when
the Chicago fire blazed its way through
the city, destroying the home where
the event was to take place. How
ever, it was decided to proceed with
the plans and the marriage took place
at the home of friends in another
quarter of the city.
The couple has made their home in
Kenosha for the past thirty-fve years
and Mr.. Berns has been successful in
the sign-painting business. Six child
rem were born to the couple, two of

STATE Is OFF
LIQUOR CASES
Formal Appointment of M.
E. Walker Eliminates
State Service.
FACTS MADE PUBLIC
Attorney General Sends Form
al Commission to Special
Prosecutor Monday Night.

The state of Wisconsin will not be
actively represented in the prosecution
of indictments returned by the special
grand jury in which sales of liquor
and other violations of the liquor law
are involved. This became known on
Monday evening when Special Prosecu-
tor Mortimer E. Walker received a
formal notice from Attorney General
William Morgan, advising him of his
appointment as an assistant to the at
torney general of the state and advis-
ing him that he had been assigned
to have charge of the prosecutions in
Kenosha county.
The fact that Mr.. Walker is not en-
gagged by the state to take charge of
the trial of the cases in which viola
tions of the liquor laws are alleged,
will in no way hinder his appearance
in these cases. He has already been
commissioned to act for the county in
the roll of an assistant to the district
attorney and the only effect of the
order from Attorney General Morgan
will be the division of the expense of
his services between the county and
the state. The letter of the attorney
general to Mr.. Walker explains the
cases in which he is to appear. The
letter follows:
Prosecute ''Big" Cases.
Honorable Mortimer E. Walker,
eff Hon. E. B. Belden, circuit judge.
Kenosha Wisconsin
Dear Mr.. Walker:
A few minutes after five o'clock this
evening, the governor formally direct
ed me to prosecute on behalf of the
state of Wisconsin, in the circuit court
for Kenosha county or any county to
which change of venue may be had,
on all indictments on each indict-
file, and on each count on each indict-
ment in the following named cases :
State of Wisconsin VS.. Owen O'Hare,
defendant.
State of Wisconsin VS.. Joseph M.
Meyers, defendant.
State of Wisconsin VS.. Peter Fisher,
Jr., defendant.
State of Wisconsin VS.. Peter Gales,

and Joseph M. Meyers, defendants.

State of Wisconsin VS.. Charles

To Have Full Control.
He has further, in the same letter,
formally advised me of your appoint
ment as special counsel to assist the
attorney general. I Immediately tele-
graphed to you as follows:
"The governor has today di-
rected me to prosecute on behalf
of the State of Wisconsin, the
cases of the state against the fol,
lowing named defendants: Owen

RACINE WOMAN
VICTIM OF THIEF
(By Associated Press Leased Wire.)

Racine, Wis. Angelina Stecher,
slain in her rooming house some time
Sunday night or early Monday morn
ing, is believed to have met death at
the hands of "a thief That the motive
was one of robbery is supported by the
fact that an attempt had been made to
remove her ear rings.
Evidence that the victim struggled
hard against her assailant is shown
by the fact that her right hand had
been lacerated as though it had come
in contact with her slayer's teeth.
While her clothing was not torn, it is
plain that the fight was a hard one
from the deep cuts on both sides of
her throat.
Up to this morning no clue to her
assailant had been found by the po-
lice.
