FRED BURKGART
PLEADS "GUILTY;"
GETS LIFE Term
Sudden Termination of Case Is
Surprise to PubIic-Taken
to Deer Lodge

Guilty" was the plea entered by
Fred Burkgart, charged with murder
in the first degree for the Staying, at
Belgrade February 21, of Otto p.
FueIleman, rival meat market prOpri-
etOr, before Judge B. B. Law in dis
trict court here Tuesday morning.
The defendant waving the statu-
tory time for receiving sentence,
Judge Law Immediately condemned
him to be confined in the state peni-
tentiary at Deer Lodge for the re-
mainder of his natural life. He was
remanded to the custody Of the sher-
iff, and on Wednesday was taken to
the prison to begin serving his term.
The sudden ending of the sensa-
tiOnal case through the decision of
Burkgart to plead guilty and throw
himself upon the mercy of the court
was a surprise to the public. The
trial had been called for $3.50 a. m.
Tuesday, and full preparations to
prosecute it vigorously had been
made by County Attorney Seth F. Bo-
hart and Assistant County Attorney
Eugene M. Bunker.
Overtures Rejected
It is now known, however, that
early Monday Burkgart, through his
counsel, Attorney Frank M. Gray,
approached the county attorney with
a proposal to plead guilty to man.
slaughter. This being promptly
turned down, an agreement to admit
guilt of second degree murder was
broached. The county attorney de-
clined to listen to these Overtures.
Later Burkgart expressed a willing
ness to plead guilty to murder in the
first degree, as charged in the infor-
nation, if assured by the county at
tOrney that the death penalty would
not be recommended. Mr.. Bohart and
Mr.. Bunker refused to entertain the
proposal, declaring that they intended
to proceed to trial unless Burkgart
voluntarily pleaded guilty and took
his chances with the court.
The crime for which Burkgart is
now serving a life sentence was COM
mitted at Belgrade on the morning of
February 21. Burkgart, who had had
some previous disagreement with
Fuelleman, met the latter on the
street and, after calling him a vile
Z name, struck him with his fist. A
struggle ensued. Burkgart, obtain
ing a strangle hold upon Fuelleman,
was furnishing him severely. Sudden
ly Burkgart put his hand into his coat
pocket, drew out a skinning knife
wrapped in brown paper and plunged
= it into Fuelleman's breast. The sharp
blade penetrated Fuelleman's heart
and he died before he could be re-
moved to doctors office only a few
feet away.
Case Was Complete
The case against Bdr6gart pre-
pared by the county attorneys Office
was, with the exception Of the testi-
mOny Of four witnesses, entirely in
document form and was exceptionally
complete. Had the case gone to trial
it would have been presented in this
form. Reports that Assistant AttOT-
ney General Choate, who came here
to assist in the prosecution, had been
invited to do so by the county at
