THE GUNNER TRIAL
CONTINUED from Page ~

argument to the jury will not take
much over two hours. The argument
to the jury by the defense may take
considerable time, but this is prob
lenatical as they have not stated
what their argument may cover. TAX
ing all these things into consideration
it is evident that the twelve men
who have been, selected to decide the
fate Of VIM. GUNNER will be given
the instructions of the court during
the third day of the trial this week,
and the defendant should know their
Judgment before the end of the week.
A great deal Of interest is being
shown in the final days of the trial
as it is known that GUNNER and
Brown will both be on the stand,
either tomorrow or Wednesday, and
many people are interested in the
evidence which they will present,
both in direct examination and cross
examination. The tiresome hand
writing testimony has been complet-
ed and the final days will be certain
to bring out much important evidence
Owing to these facts the courtroom
will be crowded to capacity during
the closing days Of the trial.
The weekly times-record. (Valley City, N.D.) 1912-1922, 1922-02-16

had never been confined for any crime
anywhere. When asked as to his &C.
cupation he stated that he was a
painter by trade but had sold stock
in the equity cooperative exchange
and had sold a few rabbits for that
Fargo rabbit concern.
The witness denied that he had ev-
er questioned GUNNER concerning a
girl or "a swell looking jane" in room
80. He also denied that he came in
the rear door of the Addison flats at
about 6:30 the morning of the sew
enth, called number and asked, els
everything all right? ?" or something
to that effect. In regard to this tes-
timony given earlier in the trial by
a roomer at the Addison flats Gum
mer stated that the man who testi-
fled he saw him come in at $50 on
the morning of the seventh was a man
to whom he had given a worthless
check at some time or other.
The cross examination of Brown
did not shake his previous testimony
in any particular. He maintained
when Murphy testified as to his con-
versation with GUNNER, Murphy lied
He was asked as to statements he had
made to a couple OF other persons in
the Cass county Jail which he made to
couple of other persons in the Cass
county Jail which he denied. Brown
was excused at 3:15 and court recess
ed. Owing to slight indisposition
of one of the jurors court was recess
ed at $3.50 until 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning.
GUNNER will be placed on the wit
ness stand tomorrow morning to re-
late his movements on the night of
the murder.

to then turn it off and to turn out
the two front lights in the office at
the same time. She had also told
him to turn out all of the lights in
the office except the light on the
switch board and two lights above
the desk after No. had left. She
stated that under these conditions the
office would be very dimly lit. She
had also instructed the accused to
turn out the balance Of the lights in
the hall at daylight. To the best of
her knowledge her instructions re-
garding the lights have been follow
ed.

Foot Print Found

Mrs Lawrence saw Mrs. Van Worst
the morning following the murder
and Mrs. Van Worst told her OF hav-
ing heard noises during the night
which led her to believe that some
man had walked across the roof OF
the annex at that time. Mrs. Law
renee, accompanied by several Others
went out and examined the premises
about three o'clock that afternoon ana
in that examination found one foot
print facing to the south away from
the ladder which leads from the
ground to the fire escape. This loot
print was quite plain with the heel
mark or impression noticeably deep
err and palmer than the toe mark.
The second floor hall was covered
with paper with a Brussels carpet
wide on top.
Mrs. Lawrence stated that at one
time the key to room 20 would unlock
the door Of room 80 but that she was
not sure as to whether this condition
existed at the time Of the murder.
The regular key to room 80 was at
tached to brass tag similar to the
one produced in court.
When GUNNER entered the employ
Of Mrs. Lawrence she had instruct
ed him to leave the electric sign on
until about 1890 in the evening and
The weekly times-record. (Valley City, N.D.) 1912-1922, 1922-02-16
was net one of them.

GUNNER related the movements of
the murdered girl when coming to the
office, going out, and when she re-
turned for the night, saying that she
was confused as to what door led to
the stairway but that she went to her
room alone. GUNNER said "That was
the last ! saw of her until she was
found dead in her room the next
morning..
81 Only Room for Hagan
H. J. Hagan came in about l o.
clock and was put in room 81 by
GUNNER. At the time Hagan came
in there were six unassigned rooms
on the second floor of the hotel. Of
these room Fl was an inside room
and was never used unless the hotel
was extremely crowded. Room No
% was double room with two beds
in it and would not be suitable for
one guest. No. rs had just-been va
Gated and was not made up. The lock
on room q would not operate. No..
26 was room with bath carrying
rate of 81. Room No. IS was con-
nected with a bath and was not used
unless guest wanted a room and
bath and the other rooms of that de-
scription were taken. No. 81 was the
only vacant room which could be
used and which carried rate Of SIPS
When Hagan came in he inquired
as to whether they had any vacant
rooms or not and as to their rates
for rooms. After being informed as
to the rates he said "give me $1.25
ROOM. AS 81 was the only $1.25
room that could be used GUNNER as
signed him to it.
GUNNER took Hagan to his room.
The key to 81 was not in the key
rack and GUNNER took pass key
with him. When he got to the room
he found that the door was open and
swung back against the wall with the
kew to the room in the lock on the in
side of the door. This is contrary to
the testimony as given by Mr.. Hagan
in which he stated that GUNNER was
very nervous and fumbled badly when
unlocking the door. GUNNER told Ha-
gan there was bath room with plen-
ty of water across the hall. he then
returned to the office.
Ed Smith and wife were the next
pupst ASSIGNED to a room and were
placed in room rs.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY Is

When court convened this morning
the court room was damned with spec
tators who had come to see the de-
PENDANT, GUNNER.
The first witness called was Mrs.
