GUNNER FOUND
GUILTY BY JURY
Sentence Will Be Passed The
First of The Week
Says Cooley.
JURY SPENDS I HOURS
GUNNER Case Was Given to Jury at
$50 Friday Afternoon-peliber.
ations Continued Until 12:4O,
Only One Ballot Taken.

Valley City, N. D.-William GUNNER
was found guilty Of first degree mur-
der by the jury that heard his case in
the Barnes county district court here.
The penalty for this crime is life In the
state penitentiary.
The verdict was brought in ut IL 40
this morning The defendant, his par
ents and several other relatives, the
father of the murder victim, attorneys
for both sides, and several witnesses
were In the court room when the ver-
dict was announced. The prisoner did
not seem to take the announcement
with much concern.
Sentence will be passed next Mon
ady, Judge Charles NJ. Cooley, presid-
ing, announced.
While no definite announcement was
made, 1t is believed the defendants
attorneys will appeal to the state su-
preme court.
The case was given to the jury ut
$50 yesterday afternoon after Judge
Cooley had given the charge. The jury
was placed in the farm bureau Office,
which had been made comfortable for
the members in case the deliberations
had been protracted. But only one
ballot was taken.
The Jury in the Case.
The jury organized with Henry Hell
mer of Wimbledon as foreman. The
other members of the jury were:
Chris Olson, Ypsilanti William Flach,
Sanborn; Ernest Ladbury, Dazey; Il.
II. Getchell, Valley City; r. II. Kane,
Spiritwood; Lloyd Sampson, Valley
City; George Ohm, Lucca; Christ
Minch, Dazey; Theodore Thilmony,
Pillsbury.
GUNNER heard himself alternately
praised by his own counsel and lashed
by the prosecution. Judge Cooley gave
the jury the choice of three verdicts-
first and second degree murder, or not
guilty.
Counsel for the defense spent more
than four hours pleading for the dis
missal Of the accused man, while w. G.
Green, states attorney Of Cass county,
spent an hour in his final argument.
In his charge, Judge Cooley declared

guilty the jurors must find that the
evidence shows beyond reasonable
doubt that he committed the crime
The court pointed out that in this case
only circumstantial evidence pointed
to the prisoner and dwelt for some
length on the law of circumstantial
evidence.

that the jury must take cognizance of
the conduct Of the accused, holding
that to find him guilty his conduct
must have been consistent with guilt

SALES TAX PLAN REJECTED
Sales Tax Plan Is Rejected by Sub
Committee by Vote Of 7 to 2.

SOUuuieICS Uy vOtc OF "
MISUNDERSTANDING, Z to 2,
proposition to pay the soldiers bonus
by means Of sales tax, the special
subcommittee Of the Republican men,
bers Of the house ways and means COM
mittee, was understood to have gone
ION record to in favor of reporting
out an adjusted compensation bill
without any provision for raising the
revenue.
The subcommittee reported to the
entire majority membership of the
committee, but a decision was de-
ferred, adjournment being taken until
next Tuesday so as to give committee
men not members Of the subcommittee
time to study the whole matter. Some
of those protesting to have sounded
sentiment among the majority men,
lbers We're of the opinion that unless
there We're unforeseen devlopmnt be-
tween now and Tuesday, the action of
the subcommittee probably would be
ratified.
Aside from the ballots on the sales
tax and a bill without a revenue pro-
vision, there were said to have been
several other votes in the subcommit-
tee. 1t was learned that a motion to
report bill carrying only an Insurance
provision was defeated, 6 to 2.
! Vote Caused Surprise.
Both proponents and opponents of
the sales tax appeared to be surprised
by the vote on that proposition. Both
sides had been claiming victory with
each, seemingly expecting fairly close
vote. Representatives Longworth of
Ohio and Bacharach of New Jersey
were said to have been the only mem
bers voting for a sales tax, although
Representative Watson of Pennsyl-
vania said he was in favor of sales
tax If a bill carrying other than an
insurance feature were voted out.
