NO new CLUES IN MURDER
MYSTERY; GIRL SAW VICTIM
IN STORE BEFORE CRIME

most definite testimony was given by
Myrtle Sanderson, aged IL, daughter
Of Mrs, Amund Sanderson. who lives
next door to the store Of Mrs. Sell
ger.
Seen About 1O:30.
The. girl testified that she passed
by Mrs. seliser's store Monday. night
between 1880 and II o'clock. At
that time, she says, there was light
in the store and Mrs. seliger was
walking around, apparently locking
up for the night.
Mrs sanderson, the. girls mother,
also testified. She said thai she
heard a, sound as OF window being
closed suddenly at Mrs. .Seligerr store
building. but believed that 1t was be-
tween midnight and o'clock In the
morning.
I. Boy Tells Story. ,
Arlo Wilson. aged 8, the youngster
who claims to Nave seen a man in
Mrs. Seliger's bedroom Monday night
told his story to the coroner's jury
this afternoon.
Grand Forks herald. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1916-1955, 1921-09-21

The boy declared that he was pass
ing by the store shortly after II
o'clock Monday night. He heard q
sound like faint cry from the build
ing, he says, and therefore went to
the side window and looked in.
Although the room was dark, the
boy declares that he is positive that
he saw a tall man moving around near
the foot OF the bed in which Mrs
Seliger was lying. He said he thought
the man wore mask because his face
was invisible but admitted that this
might have been due to the darkness
Of the room. ..t.,,..,I :
LAS soon as he saw the man, Arlo
declared that he became frightened
and took to his heels. He meant to
tell his father when he arrived home
he said, but the latter "bawledF him
OUT for being out SO late and he had
no opportunity to do 30.
The youngster added that "a girl
whose name he did not know. livine
near the scene Of the crime, had alse
seen the tall man near the store and

a position to say much along this lin
after the revelations which have beel
made of the methods used in financ
ing the Consumers United Store
company in, which he owns seven
tenths of the stock. &s
EXPLOITATION SYSTEM.
=. This whole Sisal trust affair is
simply another example of the
h. persistent exploiting of. the farm
crs OF North Dakota which, has
been carried on by the leaders of
the NOnpartisan league forS the
last five years.
Through this exploitation sys-
tenn, 1t has been plainly shown
that the league leaders have
made it a regular practice to fin
anoc their own private ventures
with the money of the farmers.
and as a result the losses of the
farmers of North Dakota have
run into millions, as nearly as
can be estimated.
There is only one way to bring
this system of exploitation to an
end, and that Is to remove the
Nonpartisan league officials from
4 power. and to close up the Bank
Of North Dakota at the, coming
recall election.
