Valley City, N. D., Feb. s.-After
d. Charlson and Roy Murphy on the
stand, the state rested at 4:4O O'Clock
this afternoon in the trial of William
Gunner, charged with the murder of
Marie Wick of Grygia. MINI.
The defense secured a recess until
10 o'clock Thursday morning. Attor-
ney w. j. Barnett saying that he
would. be ready. to proceed at that
time.
The chief sensation of the day came
at the close Of the afternoon session
when Roy Murphy who was the last
state witness w~assplaced on the stand
Murphy testified that his real name
was r. c. McDermott and that he
was serving a sixamonths' sentence in
the Cass county Jail on a charge OF
impersonating an officer. Hc was
given the privileges OF a trusty, he
said. and in this connection it was part
Of his duty to notify other prisoners
when there were visitors to see them.
In this connection Murphy or Nc
Dermott, said that about a week be-
fore last Christmas he told GUNNER,
who was then confined in the county
Jail awaiting trial; that Clair Brick
ner, his attorney, had called to see
him.
Agree to "Stand Pat"
GUNNER went.to conrer with Brick
nef and at the same time Murphy told
Brickner ut their request that two
other prisoners, Andy Brown, Gum :
mer's roommate. and one Lewis Dahl
wished to see him.

Brown Closely Connected
(By STAFF Correspondent

There is other testimony tending to
connect Brown with the crime and SO
after listening to the evidence, put in
by the state in Gummer's trial. the
conclusion Of the spectator is inevi-
table that if the jury finds GUNNER
guilty of the murder Of the %unfortun-
ate Grygla girl, Browns arrest on a
charge of some degree of completely in
the crime must be expected to follow.
On the other hand. If GUNNER is
acquitted, it would equally GER
tain that there will be no prosecution
of Brown. -.
