ERRORS FORM
HEAT0N CASE
APPEAL BASIS
Challenges Right of Attorney
Generals Aide to Go Be-
fore Grand Jury

Challenging the right of an assist
ant attorney general or of the attor-
ncy general himself to appear before
a grand jury, rs we'll as citing num-
erous alleged errors occurring at the
trial, Frank C. Heaton, sentenced to
a three and one-half year term in
the state penitentiary for making
false statements and false entries
on the books of the Scandinavian
American Bank Of Fargo, has ap-
pealed his case to the supreme
court.
The appeal is taken from the dis
trict court of Grand Forks county
where Heaton was convicted, the
case having been taken from Cass to
Grand Forks county on change of
venue.
Bangs Appeared Before Jury
The appeal recites the fact that
George A. Bangs, special assistant
attorney general prosecuting the
case, appeared before the grand jury
by which Heaton was indicted, and
alleges that the law makes no pro-
vision for the appearance Of the at
tocney general or his aides before
grand jury. The contention Of
Heaton's counsel is that the duties
of the attorney general are limited
to advising the states attorney in
charge Of prosecution and assist
ing him at the trial Of any gases in
which the attorney general wishes
to take an active part.
The supreme court recently re-
yersed case appealed to it on the
ground that q apscial prosecutor,
hired by the board Of county COM
missioners, had wrongfully appeared
before = grand jury.
IN their brief, attorneys for Hea-
ton ask the court to clarity the law
regarding the rights Of the attorney
general or his assistants to appear
before grand jpries. They contend
that this issue has never been
definitely decided.

New Street Sweeper
Gives Satisfaction

The new Hvass street sweeper, pow
cred by Fordson unit, was given a
thorough test on the paved streets of
the city last Saturday morning and came
through with perfect satisfaction. Supt.
w. A. Rathell stated that the whole
area of paved thoroughfares was swept
and cleaned in about three hours, the
time selected being when there was lit
tie traffic on these streets between 5
and o'clock in the morning. The ma
chine is equipped to wash the street and
a brush gathers the accumulations Of
dirt and trash. thereby making better
job than the old hand method used here
tofore. The equipment also offers quite
a saving to the street department, due
to the number required to operate it
against the numberless ones employed
to negotiate the same job, in the old
way. Modern appliances offers greater
economy to any business and the city
fathers are alert to any saving for the
community.

Grand Dragon Wankan
Voices Opposition to
Smith for Presidency

A. savior of the most cherished Am
.rican institutions, the Knights OF the
Ku Klux Klan have mission to per-
farm that deserves the whole-hearted
/ ,upport Of all who enjoy the benefits Of
onr government, said Fred E. Wankan,
Grand Dragon of that order in the Realm
of Mississippi, in we'll attended public
address at the court house in Lexlng-
ton Monday night.
The purpose of the Klan, the princi-
ples it proposes and opposes, was the
theme Of the address. It is not "ne-
,ro whipping order. 1t is not tar
and feather" order. 1t does not coun-
tenanee lawlessness, nor may its mem
hers take the law into their own hands,
and thus attempt to regulate the NOR
ais Of the community through illegal
means It is not intolerant in its atti-
tuds begrudging to no man the boon
granted by our forefatherss in the con-
stitutional guarantee to every man the
rirht to worship God according to the
dictates of his own conscience.
Rather, the Klan sees to preserve Tor
posterity those typically American in
stitutions evolved by those men and wo-
men who built this nation out of the
wilderness and dedicated it to political,
economic, and religious freedom.
In defining this position, Mr.. Wana-
kan traced the history and the racial
! characteristics of the tide of people who
have been coming to our shores since the
Pilgrim Fathers. The earliest settlers,
MSid, were the English, the northern
Irish the northern German, the Scanda-
