ON AGAIN TODAY
Judge Refuses to Let Trial
Be Delayed; Stenographer
Faces Murder Charge
(By United Press)

Montevideo, Minn., Dec. 4-The
trial of Elsie Salisbury on the charge
of the murder of Oscar Erickson was
ordered to proceed today.
Judge Qvale of Willmar refused
a motion of the defense's attorney
for delay until Wednesday, One
attorney associated with the defense
in the case is trying another case at
Glenwood, Mimi, and was unable
to be here today. The court held
that his absence was not sufficient
reason for delaying the case.
Miss Salisbury, for reasons never
divulged, shot Erickson in the back
as he was turning away from her
in the private office of a railroad IN
Montevideo. .,
She was released on $4,000 bail
last July when the supreme court
decided that since the abolishment OF
corporal punishment in the state, the
charge of first degree murder was
bailable. She went to Sioux Falls,
but for the last two months has lived
in Minneapolis. Her mother, Mrs.
Laura Salisbury Of Tulare, Califor-
mia. was in court with the girl.
