Bismarck Merchant Take S
Stand in Own Defense at
District Court Thursday

Ben Marcovitz, Bismarck merchant
charged with receiving stolen pro-
perty in connection with the theft of
a consignment of poultry from the
Northern Pacific railroad in Deem
Der, took the stand in his own de-
tense in district court here Thurs
day morning.
The state charges Marcovitz, as a
partner in the Bismarck Produce
company, with purchasing turkeys
known to have been stolen.
In testifying in his own behalf, the
defendant said his connection with
the produce concern merely was a fl
nancial one and that his partner, E.
D. Ditch. had charge of the conduct
and details of the business. Ditch
now is serving term in the state
penitentiary for completely in the
same affair.
Marcovitz admitted paying for the
shipment but said that it was at
DitchS direction. He said that he
was unfamiliar with the current mar
ket price for dressed turkeys and was
unaware that the birds were pur-
chased under the market rate.
He Helped Unload
He said that he had helped unload
the birds when they were delivered
to the company warehouse between
the hours of 5 and 6 in the morning
but denied previous testimony 10 the
effect that he had switched off the
lights Of the truck used in delivery.
Marcovitz admitted paying for the
turkeys in cash but said that dur
ing the rush season cash transactions
were not unusual. He stated that the
currency used in the transaction was
in his safe and was to be used to fl
nance deal in the eastern part of
the state.
Cross-examination of the defendant
was expected to occupy counsel for
the state during the greater part Of
the afternoon session. Court officials
estimated that the case probably
would not go to the jury before Fri
day noon.
In testifying for the state, Ditch
stated that both he and Marcovitz
were aware the poultry had been stol-
en- at the time of purchase. He said
that he had been worried during the
time the birds were being prepared
for shipment and had demonstrated
with the defendant, pointing out that
the risk involved in the affair was
great.
Hugh Caya Testifies
Hugh Caya, also serving time In
the penitentiary for completely in the
theft, corroborated testimony Of 9TH
er states witnesses and asserted that
Marcovitz had turned out the lights
Of the truck at the time Of delivery.
He said Marcovitz had told him the
theft had been discovered by rail-
road employees. According to Caya's
testimony. the defendant expressed
concern at that time and said he
would have to take steps to protect
himself. S
Nick Wenzel, Bismarck, took the
stand to testify he packed the birds
for shipment and O. w. Roberts. head
Of the Bismarck weather bureau, tes-
tilted as to weather conditions dur
ing the time Of the affair.
The court room continued packed
as In the first two days Of the trial
with every available seat taken and
with groups Of spectators filling the
aisles.

BY BRUCE CATION

D OGER SHERINGHAM, the
~ English detective who stalks
through the pages of books by An
thony Berkeley, is a pretty good de-
tective, and Mr. Berkeley is a pretty
good writer.
Consequently, Mr.. Berkeleys mys-
terry stories are highly readable, and
Murder in the Basement" his lat
est one, is a topnotch yarn through
cut.
This story gets under way when
two hOneymOoners discover a Wom-
ans corpse under the floor of the
basement in the house they just
have rented.
For eight months or so the police
can't even find out who the lady
was; and after they do find out,
they can't get a line on the villain
who put her there. except that they
do know that the trail leads to a
tony preparatory school.
At this point, of course, Shering-
ham steps in, and the outcome of
the yarn is as neat a surprise as
you'll find in long time.
Murder in the Basement" is pub
lished by the Crime Club for So.
1 can't say nearly as much for
"The Green Knife" by Anthony
Wynne
In this yarn we have an English
financier stabbed to death in a
locked room from which no one
could have escaped-you know the
sort of thing; people go about say
ing: Its simply inconceivable, and
so on.
Then a couple of servants get
killed in the same way, and finally
DR.. Eustace Haley ferrets out the
truth at great peril to his own neck.
But the whole business is so in

ally impossible that the book falls

other bad names, and the county
chairman, H. Nathan Swain, is
pulling what remains of his fast

Emboldened by his victory in the

who should be canned and who
should be retained in the key po-

Because it is claimed that he con-
stantly has bucked the organiza-
ton, Frank Woolling, Washington
township chairman, is scheduled for
the skids. Inasmuch as he is one
of the group which backed Cox, the
latter, it is said, is fighting for his
retention.
Woolling is one of the leaders of

On the other hand, partisans Of
Cox are insisting that Wyatt Far

man, who opposed the nominee in
the primary, be replaced by one
friendly to their cause. Also, they
