stolid, stupid, emotionless type. He
is a product of the machine age-the
markings of a good slave. His body
was built for work, not pleasure.
His head is fashioned as a receptacle
for orders His ideal would be a
world where he could own a car to
take out his girl and steady work.
When visited by a Producers News
representative in the Jail he answered
questions readily but never gave eX-
preston to a new idea emanating
from his own brain. Sometimes he
lied but most of the time told the
truth as it appeared to him.
Born in North Dakota
He said he was born at Ashley, N.
d. IS years ago last March and re-
manned within the fiickertail state all
his life until he moved to Roosevelt
county last February. He has seven
brothers and three sisters and a mo-
Their in Northeastern Montana, most
of whom are living on the reservation
south of Homestead. His mothers
name is Mrs. Christina Schlabsz and
his sisters are named Hulda, Rebecca
and Mary. His brothers are Jacob,
Martin, John, Fred, Andrew, Albert
and Dore. His father is dead. He
went to work for the Gisslers on
April l, he stated. At first he saio
the motive for the killing was that
Tony Gissler illtreated him and
threatened to chase him off the place
Saturday noon. When asked what
Gissler said to him he failed to give
any answer but a blank stare. This
or the desire for money did not
seem to be the motive which caused
him to kill. Every now and then in
the conversation he stated he liked
the Ford Sedan and showed a desire
to own it.
Wanted Car for His Girl
After an hours conversation the
News representative asked i'm if he
had a girl. His face at once bright
ened and he answered yes. He said
she lived in Ashley, n. d., and that
she was sweet and pretty. He at
first hesitated to give her name but
at last said she was Hulda DObler.
aged is. Because of her beauty
others sought her hand he said. They
had cars to take here to the dances
and shows. He thought of her when
he worked for the Gisslers-her i'm
age never left his mind. If he own
ed a car like the shining new Ford
Sedan like the Gisslers had, he could
go back to North Dakota and ont
distance his rivals and win the af
tectiOns of his village queen. The
possession of the car became an OBJ
session with him and he determined
TO get 1t sOmeway $50 that / could
take my girl riding" he said. The
desire resulted in the death of the
Gisslers.
Would Like to Live
He did not seem to realize the ef-
tects of his crime until the News
representative told him he might
hang. He then took the spotted blue
from his pocket and
wiped tears from his eyes and said:
i would like TO live" Asked if he
we're sorry for the killing of the
Gisslers now, he asserted that he
was. When asked if he wanted any,
thing done for him he stated he
like a new pair of overalls. The
overalls he was wearing were stain
ed with blood. He was supplied with
a new pair which he were when he
went with the Roosevelt authorities
to Wolf Point.
