wondered whether the two suspected
Joe's presence in the building. A mo-
ment later BOwyer turned to him.
You're next to Joe Bostock, WILL"
he said in his smooth voice so. as
Joe isn't here, apparently, I'd like to
have a word or two with you. You'll

1T hurts my reputation to have this
dinky concern Of Joe's hanging on to
mine. But I guessed Joe couldn't
raise the money, and that I'd get 1t
cheap some day.
swell, I was right You can't cross

He could not have flicked Wilton on

Joe was dead. The reference was like
a new stab in his wound And Wilton
had the momentary impression that
Bowyer did know Of Joes death and
was playing with him.
"You be Id" he shouted, unleash
ing his suppressed anger. That's my
message to you, and that's Joe BOs-

HER EX-FlANCE

fLos tsf Angeles, Feb.2 S.-A men,
tai healer and a<woman with "the
gift of sight, were witnesses today
in the trial OF Mrs Madalynne Oben-
chain charged with the murder of J..
Belton Kennedy. They were called
by the prosecution in support Of its
contention that Mrs Obenchain con-
spired with Arthur C. Burch to have
the latter kill Kennedy because he
refused to marry her. ~s
The prosecution also read into the
record a statement by Mrs. Oben-
chain on the day after the Staying
in which she declared it was she,
not Kennedy, who sought to break
the engagement she said existed be-
tween them. In this statement Mrs.
Obenchain also gave her version Of
the Staying, this being the first oc-
casion on which that version has be-
come a matter of court record.
Mrs. Obenchain, in this statement
made in the district attorneys office
and taken down by court stenog-
rapher said she went driving with
Kennedy on the afternoon of august
S. They went to beach resort and
sat down on the sand until after
dark, she said. 1t was at the beach
where, she declared, she told Ken
nedy she thought they ought to
break the engagement. She said he
urged her ''to keep the faith little
longer" # ~
. After dark, according to the state
ment, they drove to Beverly Glen,
where Kennedy had a summer cot
tage. She said they had "no par
ticular purpose" in going there, but
when they reached the cottage, Ken
nedy suggested they look for "luck
penny Mrs. Obenchain had hidden
nea rthe cottage. They left their
car and climbed a flight of steps to
the cottage. she said, then Kennedy
started back to the car to get some
matches. AS he went down the steps
she heard a shot. and Kennedy called
.."Oh, Mazzlyn; good night" Then,
the statement continued, second
shot was fired.
Il Mrs. Obenchain. according to the
statement. started down the steps
and as she did so tive roughly
dressed mon who .'looked like labor
;ers" ran past her and disappeared
in some brush. Then, the statement
went on, she went down the steps
and found Kennedy lying apparent
" dead. She stopped motorist who

GOV. NEST0S IN
EFFORT TO. Sell
SCHOOL WARRANTS

Bismarck, n. D., Feb. '27.-Furth-
er efforts t Obetter the financial con-
ditions of North Dakota moved for
ward smoothly during the last two
days of the week. Interested through
a band of Mandan men who visited
him at St. Paul, C. T. Jaffray left
for Washington with as much author
ity as Governor Nestos could give
him to represent the state before
the War Finance corporation in in
teresting that organization in buy
ing the feed and seed warrants and
bonds which will be for sale in the
state before spring planting begins.
At the same time that the Governor
conferred with Mr.. Jaffray he wired
the three congressman from North
Dakota to do everything in their pow
er to expendiate the passage of the
$5,0O0,000' senate appropriations for
seed and feed and especially to
interest themselves in the securing
of the earliest possible date for the
use of the one million dollars i'm
mediately available.
While this was being accomplished
the governor was in correspondence
with a friend and former secretary
to e. G. Quamme of the Federal
Farm Land Bank, Mr.. A. C. Wip-
rud, who recently has associated
himself with one of the strong New
York financial concerns. One of his
first actions was to write the govern
or asking for information concern
ing the school bonds and the school
warrants for sale in the state and to
offer his best services to make
market for these in some of the
New York financial circles.
Governor Nestos responded with a
complete list of the $2,0OO,OOO of
school bonds now for sale in the
state an dwith list of the $6,OOO,-
600 of warrants which have been is-
sued during the present school year
and the governor hopes to assist the
issuing organizations to place the
securities with Mr.. .Wiprud. The
bonds carry different rates of inter-
est, some of the organizations hav-
ing voted one figure and some an
other. Bonds Of other states, al-
though issued in larger quantities
than in North Dakota have been find
ing ready sale for some time, in many
instances five or five and half per-
cent school bond bringing more than
par. This price was for quantities of
a quarter of million dollars and
upward and few of the North Dakota
issues are for more than $4,000.
