MOORE BR|BE
CHARGE TRIAL
IS NEAR END
State Is Completing Case;
City Clerk on Stand
All Morning.
DORSETT NEXT ON LIST
Another Councilman to Face
Court as Soon as Jury
Returns Verdict.

The States case against City
Councilman Boynton J. Moore, on
trial for bribery in Criminal Court,
was being completed this afternoon.
City Clerk William A. Boyce Jr.,
was on the stand all morning, read
ing into the record numerous city
ordinances bearing on testimony the
State has introduced. in its efforts
to prove Moore solicited and ac-
cepted a 500 bribe to influence his
vote on impeachment proceedings
against Mayor John L. Duvall.
The trial moved slowly, in direct
contrast TO the sensational
testimony and sharp clashes of at
torneys which marked Mondays
session.
Dorset Next on Trial
Trial of Councilman Walter r.
Dorsett on a similar charge, set for
Thursday, will follow Immediately
at the end OF Moore's trial. Special
Assistant Prosecutor Emsley w.
Johnson said today
Due to another trial set for crimi-
nal courtroom next week, Dorsett's
trial may be held in one of the SUI
perior courtrooms.
No special venire for Dorsetts
trial has been ordered. Three Spe-
cial venires we're exhausted before
Moore's jury was selected.
After two hours on the stand for
direct examination. Boyce was
started on it's cross ss-examination. the
method of which was objected to
frequently by Prosecutor William H.
Remy.
Moore's attorney, Ia M. Holmes.
took the position that since the
numerous ordinances and entire i'm
peachment proceedings against
Mayor Duyall had been read into
the record as States evidence, he
had a right to show the slight part
Moore had in these and other coun-
Gil matters. but he was oyerruled
by Special Judge Paul G. Davis.
Armitage to Take Stand
William H. Armitage, who was a
principal witness in Mayor Du-
wallis trial last year, will be the
first defense witness, Attorney Hen
ry H. Winkler said. 1t is believed
Armitage will be used in an at
tempt to discredit Duvalrs testi-
mony against Moore.
The State today was putting into
the records the official minutes Of
city council regarding rezoning deals
on which it alleges Moore received
bribes.
1t required more than an hour to
read the impeachment charges
against Mayor Duvall. The coun-
Gil records had to do with deals
mentioned in Mondays testimony,
which picture Moore as receiving
bribeS on at least five occasions.
Loose ends of the case we're gath
cred in. the prosecution already hav-
ing presented the evidence by which
it claims it has proved Moore's
acceptance of the $100, for which he
is on trial.

Frantic Efforts Made to

MONTREAL, Quebec, March 90
Only three days and nights more Of
life-and those behind steel-barred
windows-remained today for the
youthful Doris and George McDon-
aid, unless there is a kindly inter-
vention.
The couple, convicted of killing
Abelard Bouchard, a taxi driver, are
to hang on the Old provincial
gallows, now painted bright new
red, at Valley field prison, Friday.
But intervention attempts are
many.
Mrs. McDonalds attorney has
spent the last few days seeking
clemency from the minister Of
justice at Ottawa. One of his main
wedges was an affidavit signed by
Mcdonald, which eXonerated his
youthful American wife from any
connection with the murder.
"She had not one thing to do in
the murder" the affidavit read. Il
swear this by my God in Heaven" &"
Doris mother. Mrs. Hazel Greco
of Chicago. and Georges father,
John Mcdonald of Sydney, N. S,
have arrived to be with their chill
dren in these last few days.
Mcdonald brought a petition
signed by many people in the
Sydney and Cape Breton region
who had known the sleek haired
George as a youth-for clemency.
Mrs. Greco brought only hope for
her daughter.
"I still believe the department of
justice at Ottawa will commute the
sentence of my daughter" Mrs.
Greco. a slight, rather attractive
woman, insisted.
She had no reason tc offer, other
than a mothers hope and
mothers prayer for her child.

officers on the first of the year.
Jacob L. Pete of this city is slated
for the position of Chairman, the
election to take place on the first meet
ing in January. Providing he is chosen,
this will be signal honor of Com
missioner Pete and will rebound to the
credit of the Board Mr. Pete has
been valuable man on the board

He is a cool level-headed business man
and in every way fitted to grace the
chair at the head of this well-balanced
body
The retiring commissioners are Alex

HIGHWAY GRAVEL
MILEAGE SHR|NKS
MODEST INCREASE IN PAVED
AND BITUMINOUS TAILS
SHOWN IN ROAD INVENTORY.

There have been modest additions to
the paved and bituminous treated
mileages in the Minnesota trunk high
way system during the past year, and a
loss in gravel mileage, according to
figures on the status of improvement
of the system, given out this week by
Commissioner G. M. Babcock
A person might assume that by
taking the mileage of each class of
highway the previous year and adding
the number of miles paved, tarred or
graveled during the year he would
know the present status of the Sys-
tenn, but this does not work out in
practice. Although the construction
department. has gravel surfaced 298
miles during the year, this has been
offset by the wear and tear of traffic
Many stretches which were listed as
heavy gravel year ago have been
reduced to medium gravel" to light
gravel and SO on.
Construction of highways on new To-
cations also results in turning back
many miles of surfaced roads to the
counties. Usually the new route is
shorter than the old. A new Is mile
stretch OF gravel or paving may be &C
companied by the return to the county
of Is or 18 miles of gravel which had
been used as a temporary trunk route.
So to get the exact status of the syS-
tenn, the department makes an "inven-
tory" each fall. The condition of the
system now as compared with a year
ago is as follows:

There has been very little work
done on the copper range on the north
shore or on the south shore of Lake
Superior, since back in the "FiftieS"
when the prospectorS came here,
believe from Michigan, and did great
deal of test pitting and sunk some
shallow shafts, great number of
which showed copper.
Where Do Iron Ranges Run?
"On the Cuguna range there are
three or four miles developed east and
west around Crosby. We do not know
where the range extends to the north
east or to the southwest as it is capped
over with limestone to the southwest
This range may circle around the
Head of the Lakes and connect with
one of the iron ranges that are known
to exist in Wisconsin between Superior
and Cameron Junction on the North
western Railroad.
THE Vermilion range has been
traced from the boundary line to Leech
Lake and it continues on further
There are only two places on this
range that there is any iron ore pro-
ouSSO LID ldllSC ID lIlOotly uIIuS-
veloped.
"On the Mesabi range, while it is
developed and great tonnage already
shown up, there is chance for it to
extend on to the northeast and to the
southwest.
Adjacent to the Head of the Lakes
we have one of the largest prospective
areas for development of iron and
copper that exists anywhere in the
United States, and Duluth and Super
ior lie in the center of this area.
Il believe if these ranges were ex-
amined by good mining engineers and
biologists, and maps and reports made
on the area, and the same were dis
tributed to the public free, or at
small cost, it would do more to help
develop our state than anything that
could be done"
