newspaper accounts of the trial or
case so far brought to light, and dis
missed for the night.
GUNNER, now % years old is more
than six feet tall. He has long arms
with hands of unusual size and is very
powerful.
AS an illustration of his strength,
officials recite that on a recent oc-
casion in the county Jail when Gum
mer had the freedom of the corridors
with several other prisoners he de-
mdnstrated to his fellow prisoners
something of his power by lifting
five men at once. GUNNER told his
companions to cling to the bars Of
the sliding door Of a cell and turning
his back to the door taking hold of
it by iron bars about knee high, Gum
mer lifted the door with its human
burden fully an inch and half, or
the extent of the play of the door,
GUNNER said that he had been
born and raised at Maville. His faith
er's home, he says, is inside the cor
porate limits of Mayville, though he
operates a farm adjoining the town
coming to that county in the pioneer
days.
The prisoner explained that scar
on his forehead was given to him by
his "kid brother" and he volunteered
the information that he had four
brothers and three sisters
"You came to Fargo about month
before this thing happened didn't
you?" GUNNER was asked.
81 had only been in the hotel ten
days., he responded.
GUNNER said he spent all Of the
summer of 1920 in Fargo and that he
spent the winter of 1920 and 1921
largely at his home in Mayville. Sew
eral years ago he took a special
course at the Minot Normal school
and he also has been student in the
Mayville normal. The prisoner chat
ted freely of his high school days and
asserted pride in his record as bas-
ketball player on the Mayville High
school team the year that team went
into the district tournament at Grand
Forks being eliminated by the Pet
ersburg High school. Petersburg
eventually winning the state cham
pionship that season.
"We beat Petersburg twice before
the district tournament" said Gum
mer, "but they had the best team"
During the progress of selecting
the jurymen the defendant wav very
much at ease only at such times some
yenireman stated that he had very
firm convictions as to the guilt Of the
accused, this very naturally had the
effect of rather disconcerting him
some
The prospects are that the ury will
be completed this forenoon and from
present indications a very good jury
will be selected and we are quite con-
fidert that Mr.. GUNNER will be Civ
en- fair trial on it's merits as pre-
sented to the jury by both the prose-
cution and the defense.
