Walsh Attorneys M0ue
For Directed AcquittQl
Argue Testimony as Consistent
With His Innocence as
Alleged Guilt

A motion for q directed verdict of
acquittal in the James p. Walsh beer
bill petition case was made Monday
forenoon before Judge Andrew Miller
in federal district court here when
tho government rested. -.s..~~.-----.-,-.
Walsh, young Bismarck man. faces
two counts OF using the mails to de-
fraud persons out Of money. Two
other counts in the indictment, alleg-
ing fraud of signatures, were stricken
last week when Judge Miller sus-
tanned demurrer.
TIL defendant is alleged to have
circulated petitions similar to those
circulated by the Association for
Legalizing the Sale Of Beer and So
Letting contributions to be sent to
Box 164 in the Bismarck postoffice in
self-addressed stamped envelopes.
Consistent With Innocence
In moving for the directed verdict
Of acquittal, Thomas J. Burke and
John F. Sullivan, defense counsel,
declared that all the facts presented
in the case by government witnesses
are as consistent with Walsh's inno-
cence as with his alleged guilt.
Defense attorneys argued that
Walsh had a constitutional right to
distribute the petitions, use any names
he desired as q committee to repre-
sent the petitioners, and to solicit con-
tributions to finance distribution of
the petitions.
The petitions which Walsh is accus-
ed Of distributing carried the names of
the committee named OH the petit
tons circulated by the Association
for Legalizing the Sale of Beer One
difference in the petitions was that
the bill which would have been in
itiated by the Walsh petitions did not
give the governor Of North Dakota
the power to appoint beer commits
sioner.
District Attorney p. w. Lanier and
his assistant, Harry Lashkowitz, re-
sisted the motion and Judge Miller
said he would announce his decision
at o'clock Monday afternoon.
Roy Mills of Bismarck was the only
witness heard Monday forenoon. He
testified that Walsh had roomed at
his home at 412 Fifth St., Bismarck,
for several months, including last
May. when the two sets Of petitions
were circulated.
Stipulate to Testimony
Mrs. Helen Benker Of Harmon was
summoned as another government
witness but when she failed to ap-
pear the prosecution and defense slip
ulated that had she been placed on
the stand she would have testified
that she received through the mails
from Bismarck a set OF petitions, self
addressed stamped envelope and note
soliciting contributions similar te
those which Walsh is accused Of cir
culating.
Judge Miller Monday morning an
llounced that 1t appeared there woulc
be no more jury cases this term ant
dismissed al jurors not sitting In thu
Walsh case.
At the request Of Lashkowitz. Judge
Miller ordered the bonds Of Dor

know the content of each subject and
use this .as a basis for the choice of
concentration and for his future voca-
ton.
At the end of his freshman year he
was supposed to select school Of con-
centration, In which he would take a
major part of his work in the Sopho-
more year in Introductory courses; and
in his Junior and senior years he would
concentrate in one department Of the
school.
This was the change which was made
in the curriculum. 1t was, however, but
half the change, for the other part of
the Colgate plan has TO do with method.
Studies Directed.
Starting in a small way and working
up to larger proportions, freshmen were
given preceptors. They met these pre-
Cept0rS, Tor one hour q week, whose
duty it was to try to develop them in
tellectually as individuals and to stim-
ulate and develop intellectual interests.
The freshmen in the sophomore year
were given a tutor connected with the
school in which they were concentrat-
ing and in the department in which
they expected to concentrate. They
met the tutor once week and he di-
rected them in supplementary reading.
When these students became juniors
and seniors the form of instruction in
their department of concentration was
by the seminar-tutoria1 method, in which
they meet for individual work in small
classes. Work in departments other
than that of concentration was by the
regular class room or lecture method
The course comes to a climax in the
comprehensive examination in the field
of concentration at the end of the
senior year.
These two changes, that of curriculum
and that of method of instruction and
guidance. constitute the chief features
of the Colgate plan This plan has
from the beginning been directed by the
president of the university and has
always been kept liquid. There are
no hard and fast rules about it, except
one, and that is if anything does not
work it is to be changed until it does
work or dropped.
