McCray, then Governor, and
his son-in-law, William P.
Evans, then prosecutor, knew
of the alleged offer of $4,000
and a promise of no conviction
to McCray if he would name
James E. Mcdonald as Marion
County prosecutor, to succeed
Evans, who resigned, Ewbank
contended.
The State struck back by de-
claring that the indictment was
prepared in accordance with a text
book on Indiana criminal law writ
ten by Ewbank.
State Hits Back
Special Prosecutor Emsley w.
johnson also argued that the Gov-
ernor and Others defendants effected
concealment of the crime by forcing
Evans and McCray to silence with
"duress and fear"
Arguments were on motions to
quash the indictments before Spe-
cial Judge Oscar H. Montgomery in
Criminal Court.
Prosecutor william H. Remy fol-
lowed johnson for the State and
had not completed when court
adjourned at noon. He continued
his argument this afternoon.
Both State and defense will pre-
sent briefs and Judge Montgomery
is expected to take the motions
under adviSement.
Defendants Not in Court
None of the defendants was in
court.
After conference with State at
torneys, it was agreed that argu-
mentS were TO be on the second
indictment against the trio. The
second indictment was returned
Sept. 30, making minor changes in
one returned Sept. 9.
After a brief attack on the in
dictment, on the ground that it
stated insufficient facts to warrant
the charges, Ewbank swung into his
statute of limitations plea.
Reads Official Records
He read from official records of
the appointment of william H.
Remy as prosecutor succeeding,
Evans, signed by McCray, then
Governor, Dec. 8, 1923.
The indictment gives Dec. is as
the date of the alleged offense.
Reading newspaper stories of the
appointment of Remy, Ewbank
pointed out that Evans remained in
office until RemyS appointment
and that the office never was
vacant, as the indictment states.
The second indictment changed
the date of the alleged offer from
Dec. 8 to Dec. IS, he pointed out.
Steve Is Mentioned
d. G. Stephenson, former Klan
leader, mentioned as one of those
making the offer on Dec. 8, was not
in the State at that time and had
not been for number Of weeks, he
declared.
AS Ewbank stressed the impor-
tance of the date of the alleged Of
tense, Judge Montgomery stated:
"It Is my understanding that the
statute Of limitations does not run
when the crime is concealed"
ut has been held that If the per-
son who was defrauded knows it, 1t
is not concealed. Governor McCray
and his son-in-law knew about it.
The Governor, the highest officer
in the State, knew the situation.
"It was not concealed from the

REVIEW OF The GRAIN MARKET

79c, Omaha and Kansas City 72c.
OATS: The oats market continued
weak with receipts again large. In
the future markets, September oats
sold down to new low price for the
delivery. Cash prices were about
one cent lower at most of the mark
cts although light receipts at Chica-
go advanced prices slightly there.
Best grades sold readily but the poor
er grades were very dull No. 8 white
oats was quoted at Chicago at 43c-
46c, Minneapolis 43c-44c, st. Louis
45c-4972, and Kansas City 44c-47c.
Prices In the Texas markets were &c
lower with No. red oats quoted at
45c-46c delivered at Fort Worth and
common rate group points.
BARLEY: Future barley prices de-
clined slightly with other grains but
the cash market remained firm and
sold at the high point of the crop
at several markets. Good milling and
mailing types were scarce and in ex-
cellent demand. Choice to fancy malt
ing barley was quoted at 72c-74c at
Minneapolis, 80c-83c at Milwaukee
and 75c-80c at Chicago. The better
grades of feeding barley ranged from
65c-lOc at most of the markets.

LITTLE CHRISTENSEN
GIRL DIES SUDDENLY
Daughter Of Well Known Dagmar
Farmers Taken Ill With Brain Few
er and Passes Away February 10.

The nine-year-old daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Carl r. Christensen of Dag
mar died February 10th at 3:15 a. m.
from acute brain fever which came
on her in the early part of the even
ing.
Lucille Elnora was born May %,
1916 and is survived by her parents
and one brother.
The little body was laid away Feb
ruary 18th at the Volmar cemetery.
The services were conducted by Rev.
Frost at the Christensen home at IL
o'clock, and later at the Volmar Luth-
eran church. The remains were car
ried to their last resting place by
Oscar Olson, Paul Olson, Leonard
Olson, Edwin Peterson, Chris Brink
man and Arthur Anderson.
The Christensen family seem to
be having more than their share of
trouble as it will be remembered that
early this fall another misfortune
came to the Christensen family when
their son Wallace, who is now the
only child left, was shot in the face
accidentally with a gun. Wallace had
close call with death and came thru
losing an eye, but his face has not
yet healed, and according to the re-
ports there still is a little shot left
in the flesh which will work out il
time.
Are you at ease now,
Do you sleep content
With deaths dark aura about your
wan lips?
Now that the fever of the day is
spent.
And anguish slips
From the small limbs,
And they lie Tapped in rest,
The young head pillowed soft upon
that induarate breast.
No you are quiet, and forever,
Tho for US the-silence is so loud with
Wherein we hear the dreadful-footed
years
Echoing, but your quick laughter
never,
Never your stumbling run, your sud.
den face
Thrust in bright scorn upon our sol
emn fears.
Now the dark mother hold you close
%, you
We love so, how you lie,
So strangely still, unmoved so utterly
Dear yet, but oh little alien too.
-Babette Deutsch.

Secretary of State C. T. Stewart is
charged in the report of playing fav-
orltlsm with various newspapers in
the publishing of the proposed con-
stltutional amendments.
Even the heads of departments
were unable to explain how the com
pensatiOn of their employees had been
increased as no records were kept of
the proceedings of the state board of
examiners in such matters. The au-
thorlty claimed was statute passed
In 1921 which allows the board to re-
duce salaries but only one reduction
was made and this was not long in
effect.
Indifference to the best interests of
the taxpayers existed in the publish
ing of proposed amendments to the
constitution of Montana in 1924 and
IN 1926, the report says. The con-
stltution requires that the proposed
amendments be published in at least
one newspaper in each county for 10
weeks at least three months prior to
the general election. Eighty-five
newspapers were first given the
printing on July "a, 1924. On August
IL, which was one week too late for
/ lagal publication % additional news
papers were given the printing. On
August 20, three additional newspa-
pers were named and on October TO-
less than month before the election,
one additional contract was made.
The data for the 1924 publications
was obtained through the state pur-
chasing agent who must sign reuuisi-
lions. Information as to the pubIi-
cation of the 1926 amendment was
more difficult to secure as the secre-
tary of state had not had the reouisi-
lions for printing signed by the pur-
chasing agent.
The cost of printing the 1924 a.
mendments varied from S645 in Sill
yer Bow county to $2,339 in Valley
county. The cost of printing the one
proposed amendment in 1926 varied
from $67.50 to $1,000. Roosevelt
and Valley counties had the anoend,
ment printed in five papers.
The senate adopted the report and
ordered copies to be placed on the
desks. 'iie

Salisbury: did the Board of County

"No" in faint voice. Sheriff Sails
bury then stated that he heard Iver-

Iverson got very pale and said no

The Sheriff then pulled out an exc
cution which the county held against
Frank French to the amount of S.
000 Mr.. French read the execution
very carefully and when the Sheriff
asked him if he had any property
with which to satisfy the debt the
County held against him he answered
evasively.
Sheriff Salisbury: "Will you turn
over what you make out of your Job
as County Commissioner to satisfy
this debt the county has against you,
MIR. French ?"
Mr.. French: 81 don't like to do
that"
IversOn Don't Like Castor Oil
Iverson who was sitting quietly ex-
ploded again and said: 81 don't like
this business of women running me
out of the library with castor OIL"
When asked what effect the castor
oil had on him Iverson shut up and
looked like he didn't want to talk
any more about castor oil.
BabcOck Affair Again
When asked if they knew that the
Attorney General would send an as
sistant to help the County Attorney
collect the insurance from the Ma
tiOnal Surety Company when they
appointed Attorney Paul Babcock
they were evasive. French answered
at last that maybe there would be no
money paid to Babcock. The crowd
took this to mean that the services
of the special attorney which the
county does not need and who was
appointed without the County Attor-
ney requesting his appointment, as
is usual in such cases, would be dis
continued.
The meeting adjourned without au-
thOrizing Commissioner Iverson to

Interviewed today about the atti-

sioners last week, informed the board
that they were willing to pay the

er that they would furnish the rest
room for the use and benefit of the
women of the county at the Clubs
expense. This would not be a Plen-
tywood proposition only" declared
Mr.. Krogman, "but would be fur
nished by Plentywood people for the
use of people from the country who
visited Plentywood."
