HAGEN REsENTENCED,
COMMITTED TO JAIL.

Grand Forks, N. D., Oct. l2-H. j.
Hagen, convicted Of receiving de-
posits in the Scandinavian American
bank in Fargo, after it was insolvent
was resentenced to -. years in the
state penitentiary and turned over to
Sheriff Odin OVERLY by Judge w. j.
kneeshaw in Grand Forks county dis
trict court here Monday.
The sentence was pronounced by
Judge Kneeshaw over the objection
of U. L. Burdick, counsel for the de-
fendant, who claimed that Hagen was
deprived of proper trial.
After the sentencing Burdick filed
with Judge Kneeshaw a writ OF
habeus corpus which the judge over
ruled.
Hagen will be held in the Grand
Forks county Jail until state trans
portatiOn officer comes here to take
him to the state penitentiary at Bis.
marck.
Following the sentencing Burdick
announced his next move would be to
carry his request for writ of habeus
corpus to the state supreme court.
If this court denies the request for
a writ Burdick believes he can carry
his request directly to the United
States supreme court. If the case
reaches the United States supreme
court Mr.. Burdick believes. that
court will have the power, if it see,
fit, to issue writ Of error, demand.
ing that all lower case reports be
brought before it for consideration
The high court may also set bond
under which Hagen may obtain hi.
liberty. Mr.. Burdick believes.

HAGEN SEEKS
NEW WRIT FROM
SUPREME COURT
Action May BE Brought as
Basis For Appeal to United
States High Court

Appeal for a writ Of habeas corp
Us was presented to the supreme
court Monday in behalf Of II. j..
Hagen, convicted Of receiving depos-
its in an insolvent bank in connection
with the former Scandinavian- -Ameri-
can Bank Of Fargo. Whether or not
the appeal will be filed and hearing
on it held by the court has not been
determined Grounds for the appeal
are that the proceedings had and the
judgment rendered in Hagen's case
are in effect denial Of his consti-
tutional right which grants to every
citizens freedom from Imprisonment
without due process Of law"
The claim Is based on the cOnten-
ton that theft Of the stenographic
notes Of his trial prevented Hagen
from perfecting an appeal to the su-
preme court.
II was indicated here as quite pos
sible that the new action was filed
in the supreme court to establish the
basis Of the case which Hagen's at
torneys are said to be planning to
present to the supreme court of the
United States on the ground that his
trial and sentence are not in accord
with the provisions of the constitu-
ti0n.

LUMBER YARD
TO BE USED FOR
CITY GARAGE
Commission Approves Pur.
chase Of Former RunyOn
Property For $4,000

Purchase Of the former Runyon
lumber yard property on the south
side for use of the city street depart
ment as garage and storage space
for street equipment was approved
by the city commission Monday night.
The deal was negotiated with the St.
Hitaire Lumber company and the pur-
chase price was $4,000. The St..
Hilaire company and the Carpenter
Lumber company bought out the
Runyon yard early this year and re-
moved the stock Of building material
to their own yards.
Decision to buy the property was
made by the commission some time
ago, and the buildings have since
been repaired and remod&led to meet
the needs of the city. The actual
purchase, however, did not take place
until Monday night. The equipment
of the street department has been
added to from time to time until
there was no adequate place to house
1t, making it necessary for the com.
mission to take some action along
that line. It was decided that the
lumber yard sheds, with certain alter
ations, would be very suitable for
the purpose. and the deal was negoti-
ated.
In order to provide funds imme-
diately for the purchase of the prop
erty and the cost of the improve.

issuance of certificates of indebted.
ness in the amount of $1,000.
