One of the features of the dinner
was a showing of the official war film
entitled. America Goes to War"
depicting the participation of the
United States forces in the World
War.
Speaking for those who were unable
to attend the Paris convention, Vice
President Dawes expressed the wish
that the visit might strengthen the
bonds of the traditional and unbroken
friendship between the French and
American people.
Gen. Pershing said that "the Legion
will ever be the balance wheel of
peace, for there is no class so deter

who know what war really is"
Eulogistic reference was made to

tary of War Newton d. Baker by

THE attempted inSurrection was
timed very carefully; just before
the appearance in Mexico of the new
Wall Street ambassador, Dwight w.
Morrow of the House of Morgan. Had
it been even partially successful the
! first act of the Wall Street ambassa-
dor would have been to recommend
recognition OF the regime of the re-
dictionary generals as de-facto gov
eminent Then the Washington gov
eminent could have raised the arms
embargo that now prevents American
firms selling arms to the Gales gov
eminent and enable the military
agents of imperialism to secure arms
and munitions.
Thanks to the firm and decisive &C
ton of the Gales government both
the agents of yankee imperialism
have been eliminated--as Danton in
the French bourgeois revolution used
to say of it's enemies permanently.
A few years ago such an ambitious
attempt would have thrown the coun-
try into the throes of civil strife and
paved the way for interventionist
agitation on the part of the reptile
press and might even have brought
part Of the American army to the
Mexican border, as the same iackal
pack of imperialists, succeeded in do
ing under Woodrow Wilson in 1916.
The fact that the reactionary coup
failed so miserably and that its native
Mexican instigators met the fate they
so richly deserved is crushing evidence

Wolf Point? Why would a man
demand the return of a loan made
just a few hours before? Why did
not Rodgers go home when he
was in that neighborhood, instead
of hiding at a remote farmhouse
81 miles beyond his home? Why.
if innocent, would he say when ar
rested IF | knew you were com
ing, you wouldn't have caught me-"
He also called attention to the fact
that while Buck" Rodgers had
testified that Vahrenkamp tripped
over the rope, Edgar Rodgers, lis
tening to the scuffling outside he
tent, did not hear anything hit the
rope and did not notice any vibra-
ton of the tent itself.
Defense Pleads
Attorney Hannah of Circle call
ed attention to the fact that it
was not a property matter that was
at stake but a mans liberty, and
advanced the theory that it would
be wrong to imprison Rodgers be-
cause there was only circumstan-
tial evidence advanced to convict
him. He professed to be amazed
at the mass of evidence presented
by the state to secure a conviction,
and stated that Rodgers had no
motive to assault Vahrenkamp and
the presumption might be advanced
that because James and Haynes
not in court they might be
the ones who had assaulted YAH
renkamp. He implied that he
doubted the veracity of some of
the statements of the witnesses
for the state, saying that he was
'skeptical of eXactitudes"; throw
ing out the implication that it
would be impossible for the wit
to remember exactly just
what was said or the details of
an occurance which happened more
than six months previous. Mr..
Bramble made al eloquent and
dramatic plea on behalf of his
client in an attempt to enlist the
sympathy of the jurors by distract
ng their attention from the ques-
ion at issue. He concluded his adj
by appealing to them to ap-
the Golden Rule in meeting
,ut Judgment and making a deci-
ion as to the accused mans guilt
II innocence.
Final Summary
In his final appeal to the jury,
II. Marion scorned Mr.. Bramble's
.%igression from the subject of the /,
ase, and reviewed briefly some
f the high points of the testimony, :
that it was not the pur-
ose of the county attorney to rail
DAD any man to the penitentiary,
ut that he was in Office to see
hat justice vas done and that g.,
uilty persons be made to suffer ,
ne penalty of their wrongdoing in :
rider that there might be order and
afety for the citizenry in general. j.
lie said that an innocent man does !,

utcome of an action against him.

defense and was called as a re.
buttal witness by the State. Asked
concerning the events of the night
when Vahrenkamp received his in
jury, had a clear recollection of
what had happened. She said that
she had been awake at the time
the ars drove into the camp. She
was acquainted with Rodgers voice
and when he came into camp at
about PAS she heard him cursing
and heard him say, You run off
and left me, and I'll just kill you"
She said that she was sleeping in
the Strife tent that evening and
that Mr.. Strife got up when called
by James, and that Mrs. Strife
also got up and stood in the door
of the tent a long time. She, her.
self, did not get out of bed. She
heard the statement made by Rod
gers that he had killed someone.
She said that previous to the time
when James had called Strife tell
ing him that Rodgers had killed
the blacksmith" she had heard a
sound like a man killing a pig.
Mrs. Torrison's testimony was
clear, direct and convincing, and
not shaken by cross eXamina-
ton. She told about hearing Rod
gers voice at various times that
but said she did not see him,
because she was in the. tent and did
not get up out of bed.
After Mrs. Torrison's testimony,
Mr.. Marion stated that the State
was through if the defense would
admit that Mrs. Torrison had been
subpoenaed on their side. and were
to stipulate that A. E. Rod
gers was arrested on August 20
by Charles Council. The defense
attorneys agreed to both.
Court Instructs
In his charge to the Judge Paul
said that they might either find
Rodgers guilty or innocent of the
rhine charged, first degree assault,
II they might find him guilty of as
in a lesser degree. In the
went of finding the defendant
utility they might fix the punish
nent or leave it to the court to fix.
FOR a verdict of guilty of either
Irst or second degree assault it
would be necessary that all mem
iers of the jury concur, but two
birds of the number might bring
\ a verdict of third degree assault.
For first degree assault the
is Imprisonment from five
D twenty-five years; for second !

ne to five years or a fine of $1,000
+ both; for third degree assault, |
IMPRISONMENT in the county jail t

Judge Paul charged the jury to .

t(OUll0u6Q from HIS pdSt
of Intake. He said the country
there was very rough and hilly
typical badlands. He said hey haC
been looking for Rodgers at Sid
ney and along the Yellowstone
river, and that when his father
made the arrest Rodgers had said:
IF I'd known you were coming,
you wouldn't have got me-"
Harvey Irwin told of taking Rod
gers from Oswego to the road
camp On the night of August 81.
He told of seeing Rodgers upstairs
at the pool room. He said he did
not see Vahrenkamp leave Oswe-
when they reached the road camp,
he said.
Accident Claimed
The defense attempted to prove
that Vahrenkamp had not been
hit by Rodgers, but that Warren
kamp had tripped over the guy
rope of the bunk EN- and fallen,
hitting his head on a tent stake.
He tripped, they said when he was
making a hostile rush at Rodgers,
who had demanded the return of
a $500 loan made Vahrenkamp.
Elmer "Buck" Rodgers told about
the trip to Oswego, and said that
after his father returned to the
camp he had asked Vahrenkamp
to return $500 borrowed in Oswego
that evening. He said that YAH
renkamp had started toward A. E.
Rodgers saying: "I1l give you
that $500 and I'll give you some
more, too" He described how
Vahrenkamp fell, striking his head
on the tent stake. His story might
have sounded plausible to the jury,
were it not for the fact that when
Edgar Rodgers, a younger son of
the accused man, was on the stand
he admitted on cross-examination
that he did not hear anything hit
the tent rope, nor did he observe
any unusual shaking of the tent it,
self, such as would have been the
case had a man tripped over the
tent rope.
Buck" Rodgers in his testimony
denied ever having said to Lee
Strife that his father had struck
Vahrenkamp with a sledge ham
mer.
Mrs. A. E. Rogers was or the
stand for the defense and described
the country in the vicinity of the
Rodgers home and also near In
take where Rogers was arrested.
She said that Rodgers had some
land across the Yellowstone in
Wibaux county and that he and
Mr.. Reiss were friends. On cross
examination Mrs. Rodgers admit
ted that she had not seen her hus- .
band during last August.
Expert Testimony
DR.. e. r. Fouts and DR.. G. d.
of Poplar were called
rs expert witnesses and testified.
Both stated that it might be pos
for a man to receive a frac- !
.ure such as was sustained by 6
Vahrenkamp if he were to strike {
with sufficient force upon a tent {
stake such as was introduced as an )
by the defense. They said |
hat the more force with which
IN impact was made, the greater
you'd be the fracture. Both men
lpon cross examination admitted I
hat while it was possible for a Y
