VIM. GUNNER, the 23-year-old Far
City of the murder of Marie Wick
woman, who was found murdered in
early in the morning Of June q, after
the state penitentiary at Bismarck to
serve a life sentence. He will be
known as Convict No. 5000.
AS GUNNER stepped into the prison
he displayed the same iron nerve that
has characterized him since his ar
rest.
GUNNER maintains his innocence
One of the first things he said to
ty of this"
"Well, that's too bad," remarked the
warden, "for if you were guilty, I'd
try to get you out. You know we
have $50 men in here and they all say
they are not guilty, and / wouldn't
want to have one guilty man to show
them bad tricks" GUNNER smiled
and was anxious to talk about the case.
GUNNER entered "lifer's row., oc-
cupied by Is other men serving life
sentences. 1t is the choicest location
in the prison, being above the walls
and from the cells the prisoners can
see Bismarck to the west and get q
good view Of the surrounding country
which they may never be permitted to
visit.
There are too many men in the
prison for the work to be done and
GUNNER will be idle for several days.
He will probably be set to work in
the Irvine plant. He will be permitted
to write one social letter week and
as many business letters as necessary.
He will have regular periods for exer-
else and may study. Many prisoners
are taking correspondence courses.
He declares that Andy Brown is
innocent and states that he believes
the time will come when he himself will
be free.
GUNNER, who must serve half his
life expectancy before paroled or par
doned unless held innocent, thinks he
got "raw deal" in the Fargo Jail
and in his trial.
"You had good lawyer to prepare
your case, didn't you" he was asked.
SCOTS at Jury
Eyes, but don't think the jury they
had, had enough intelligence to try
that kind of a case" he declared.
"They selected men who hadn't read
the newspapers and I don't consider
that kind of a man of sufficient in
telligence to try that kind of a case.
There were couple Of old men on
there who were pioneers"
GUNNER also maintains he was
framed on.
Il learned one thing in that trial."
he exclaimed, "and that is that people
can get on the witness stand and
they'll be believed as much as some
one telling the truth"
He showed resentment against
States Attorney William Green, who
prosecuted him, and some other Cass
county authorities. GUNNER agrees
with the states attorney that the mo-
tive for the crime was, rape. He de
MES the state theory that there were
two separate attacks, one shortly after
|, midnight and the other about a. m.
There. were too many people
around the hotel about midnight" he
' declared, II think the crime was COM
mitted at one time" He refused to
u.vulge a theory of the murder he de-
cared he held, saying he had been
advised not to discuss the matter.

Saltwater, Okla, Gazette: A Texas

$5OO,OOO for oil royalties alone on his
46-acre tract, because he wants the
land to raise pigs and turnip greens.

RURAL MAIL CARRIERS HAVE
NO SPECIAL HIGHWAY RIGHTS

Washington, Oct. 23.-The Post
Office Department has issued a state
ment that rural route carriers do not
have any special privileges in the use
of public highways. They are ON
equality with the rest Of the travelling
public and must obey the rules and
regulations posted by State Highway
departments regarding use or non
use of roads. The ruling was made
because of the action Of some rural
route carrier in disregarding warning
signs placed on some roads under

Professor Doctor Archenhold chief

Every day now hundreds of people

The rush began in the spring and

Yet there has been no indication

TANGLED PROCESSES

--Hordes of war grafters will gel

es-because of the slow and tangled
processes of the courts.
Federal court procedure, in the face
of the crush of Litigation now con
fronted through war frauds mainly, is
found to be wholly inadequate. Court
rules mostly were made to fit the
business of the courts fifty years ago.
Thousands of cases which have been
investigated, and revealed sufficien.
proof to convict those who were
caught ''red handed" in robbing the
government during ana since the war,
now must hang fire indefin tely.
Just as congress voted 100000 TO
further enable the attorney general to
hire additional legal talent, and to ex-
pedite prosecution of the grafters
word comes from the attorney general
that the department of justice is far
ahead of the courts and that the de
partment simply will have to mark
time to wait for the courts 'n ca
up with the business now Ia&g'n@ on
their hands.
The answer to such stuatioo
that the defendants or material wit
nesses will disappear in numerous
cases, or important evidence will lose
its effectiveness because of the long
delays which now are expected to de-
feat the governments program in
some of its more important aspects.
The attorney-general has begun to
expand his war graft division, to
probe war contracts He expects to
expedite this work as much as pos
sible. The evidence gathered, how
ever, although valuable in securing
indictments, means little in the ultI-
mate conviction of the defendants so
long ,as federal judges are not avail
able to try them.
Illustrating the jam of the courts
Is the inability of the attorney gem
eral to have the cement antitrust
cases brought to trial in New YorN
before the last of the year The
cases involving the cement group in
the middle west also will be delayed
probably until the begin
ming of another year.
The court Jam also will seriously re-
tard judicial sitting of the charges IN
the scores of antitrust cases whic'
are pending. Aggravating the condi-
ton of the dockets is the fact also that
the federal judges are just beginning
their summer vasation terms. The
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1922-07-05

courts merely will lag along handling
only emergency litigation, or cases
which have stood on the dockets for
two years or more.
Chief Justice Taft and other distin-
guished jurists have taken the lead
in { movement to reform the rules or
the judiciary. The effort is to mod
ernize them, or rather to American
ize them along new lines and make
them conform to the demands OF
larger business; occasions by the
growth of the country.
