Arguments on the motion were

tiers arguments we're made by Scott
Cameron. Bismarck, and Louis H.
Connolly, Mandan, while refutation
was made by John Sullivan, who as
sisted George s. Register, states At
torney, in the prosecution.
Cameron spent considerable time In
discussing why the testimony Of Mrs.
Anne E. Wolfe was prejudicial against
the defendant and incompetent. Mrs.
Wolfe testified that while Mrs. Pot
ter and her sister were In a Bismarck
apartment building the night Of the
shooting, Potter called at the apart
ment In search of Webb. The state
proved that this man could not have
been Webb. Cameron argued that
because this man was not Webb, the
state could not conclude from the
testimony that Potter was motivated
in shooting Webb because OF the in
cident. Sullivan stated that the mere
fact that Potter was looking for Webb
might indicate . motive. He argued
further that Potter might not have
seen the man in the room but might
have known a man was there and
thought that 1t vas Webb. Sullivan
said the testimony was offered
merely in a series of various incidents
to show that Potter had a motive for
the shooting. Cameron stated that
Webb and Mrs. Potter did not have
any c~landestine meetings. that Pot
ter did not think they were having
secret meetings, and that no evidence
was offered to show that they had.
He said that Mrs. Potter's character
was indicted before she had a chance
to testify.
Cameron argued that the court also
erred In accepting the verdict Of the
Jury despite the fact that the victim
dying statement described the shoot
ing as accidental and in entering
judgment and passing sentence.
With arguments completed at noon,
Judge J~ansonius took the matter un-
der consideration and announced that
he probably would make no ruling be-
fore several days.
