MURDER CASE
is COMPLETED
THIS MORNING

clared that korsvick, before the time
he was brought up for preliminary
hearing, had never even been given
. chance to telephone his father. Tho
objection, which stated that the de-
Tense counsefs remark was not ac-
cOrdinp to evidence, was sustained
BY Judge Lembke after the two at
tOrneys hod had short verbal tilt.
"We're not asking for mercy for this
boy. We are asking for justice. The
defense does not want him to go to
Jail for a minute. Remember, il you
brand him with the brand Of a GRIM
inal, he will be branded forever and
nothing anyone can do will ever erase
that brand"
A strong plea for the exercise oi
common sense was given BY States
Attorney c. +. kelsch in his final
plea for the prosecution. He went
on to cite the story Of the shooting
and to substantiate the states rca-
sons for asking a conviction in the
case.
This boy is charged with murder
in the second degree. which means
the absence Of generalization or DELHI
Grafton on the commission Of the
crime," said Mr.. kelsch. I'VE don't
charge him with intent to kill"
The states attorney went on tn
prove that the act was dangerous
and evinced \ depr;tNed mind on the
part Of the defendant By rctelling the
story Of the nrousal held at Pa
haininen's cabin and Of the part Joe
took in it.
"Pahaininen had been knocked un-
conscious and his rifle taken away
from him in his own home, yet the
defense calls this man Just an inno-
cent boy" said Mr.. kclsch.
Had Chance to Retreat
The fact that Joe had chance ia
retreat in safety "half u dozen times
was brought out BY Mr.. Kelsch who
stated that if the boy did not take
advantage Of these opportunities. he
had no further recourse to self-de-
Tense under the law.
"The testimony of the preliminary
hearing does not show that Arvid
| Just before Joe fired on him, said:
Just a minute, I'll get you,'' Mr.
Kelsch said. discussing the statement
on which Korsvick's attorneys partly
based their contention of self-de'
Tense.
"This case calls for common sense,
the states attorney declared. 1--WE
must judge men by what they do ant
say. We are not trying the past lift
of Joe Korsvick."
The states attorney ended his pie;
Just after 8 o'clock and the jury was
then excused BY Judge Lembke, who
told them to Ego home and get goot
nights Sleep"
A packed courtroom attended The
final session, with every seat taker
and with q number Of people STANDING
up. In spite Of the fact that Mr.
Kelsch's and Mr.. Langer's pleas were
each nearly an hour and a half long
there was no restlessness evinced b!

ley, who is in Minot today.
The defense as well as the prose-
cution is anxious that the young de-
PENDANT, who alleges that she killed
Nafus to avenge q wrong, be given
an early trial. She has waived pre-
liminary examination and has been
bound over to the district court to
await trial.
If special term is called for the
month of January, it probably will
be convened about the 18th, as both
Judges John c.. Lowe Of Minpt and
George H. Mocllring Of Williston
will be at leisure about that time.
Which of the two judges will try the
case has not been determined as yet.
The next regular term of court is
not scheduled to be held until next

Tax Sale Proceeds
Total .$23, 73O. %

The annual delinquent tax sale,
which was conducted in the office
of County Auditor Frank johnson
early this week, Melted the county
$23, 730.28, according to figures
tabulated by County Treasurer G.
l.. Spear. Practically every piece
of property offered for sale was
disposed of, except that on which
there was hail indemnity attached.
Because Of a popularity Of the law
in which hail indemnity is not con-
sidered a tax, prospective buyers
of delinquent tax property would
not bid on such descriptions and
they were bid in for the county.
The fetal proceeds Of the sale
were not as large rs . year ago,
but this is due principally to the
fact that q large. amount Of the de-
linquent taxes were paid prior to
the sale.

THINKS AMERICAN
 WILL WIN TOURNEY
Walter j, Travis Looks for UP sets in Muirfeld Golf Play

New York, May A Pl-Walter J. Travis, only American ever to win the British amateur golf champion ship and be @ native Of Australia. believes the chance is great for an American born player to capture the title in the tournament al Muir6eld. Scotland, which started today.
 Muirfield, Travis says, is more like courses In America than any other 10 be found abroad. It is adapted to the high pitch approach used by Americans whereas the British, fac- ing heavy winds on most of their courses, have found it necessary to develop the pitch and roll
 Travis himself belonged to pitch and roll' school when he won the title at Sandwich In 1904 and he needed such an approach at the lime, but he recalls that Bob Gardner was very near the crown at Mutrfeld with the looping niblick shots in 1920 when he lost to Cyril Tolley at the 37th hole.
 Bobby Jones. Chick Evans and George Won Elm will carry the American colors fsrthest. Travis be- lteves. He likes Von Elm, the little Pacific coast star who lost to Jones in the American finals at Merton two years ago, because the man from Los Angeles is more accustomed to the sort of winds that may be expected 10 appear at any time on a seaside course in Great Britain.
 Evans, the Chicagoan who twice won the amateur title and also held the American open crown, was not selected for the Walker cup team this year, but has been at Muirfeld Tor some days practicing constantly. His departure from Europe was very much a secret but he is ex- pected to prove a worthy soldier in the American attack.
 Larry Lloyd and Grant Peacock Of New York, Watts Gum of Atlanta, James D. Standish of Detroit and Evans did not start in the first round today, having drawn bves.
 On the eve of the tournament Jess sweetser had a touch of in fuenza and a bad knee. Gum also had a bad knee.

 In statement made in the office of her attorney. William Scott Stewart, Mrs. Scott said it appeared that her husband was being brought back 10 Chicago so that the new legal proceedings might divert pub lie interest from the pardon and parole investigation.
 The last time l saw Russell, he told me that for s5,000 cash he could arrange an escape" Mrs. Scott related. T told him l didn't have a cent. Later, was informed that if I could get s100 a month it could be fixed so that he would be held at Chester as insane until 5000 in all was paid, after which he would be permitted to escape"
 Efforts to obtain the money in Michigan were unsuccessful, Mrs. Scott said. About six months ago, Scott wrote to expect a visitor who would ask her about the fund.
 T was walking along the street two days later and q heavily built man, who looked like a prize fighter, stopped me, and asked mo if would be able to raise the S5,0o0. I told him of my vain efforts. He said it was too bad. that they could wait no longer and left me"
 Scott is scheduled to appear be- for Chief Justice William V Broth CTS of criminal court tomorrow on q writ through which the states at- torney's office expects to have q new date set for him to be hanged.
