At the suggestion Of Thorp, . recess
was taken, ana the two Judges re-
NAMED wrapped In conversation.
Following the afternoon recess
Judge Andrew Miller returned from
his chambers accompanied by Judge
Christianson to announce that the
latter wished to add word Of ex-
PLANTATION to his former testimony.
"You asked me-" Judge Christian
son stated, "wten I had first hazard OF
any solicitation In the office ana
told YOU it was from Mrs. Craig. It.
was following the solicitation that !
talked to Mrs. Craig and she told me
she had refused to contribute"
John e. williams, executive secre-
tary Of the federal emergency relief
administration Of North Dakota since
Kinzer's dismissal, Sept. !, 1888, was
next to take the stand.
Produces Mrs. SCOTS Checks
Lanier asked him to produce the
salary checks of Mrs. Edith Scott for
the months Of May, June, July and
August, 1888. williams unwrapped .
large package Of documents and turn
ed over the checks to Lanier.
After proper Identification, Lanier
offered them In evidence explaining
their purpo6e-"to corroborate Mrs.
SCOTS testimony that she had re-
.ceived a reduction Of IS in her salary
for August"
Also offered in evidence was an UNI
signed voucher covering Mrs. SCOTS
salary for August.
Lanier asked williams, Ito state II
in your opinion there has not been m
erasure on this voucher7"
Sinkler objected to the question Is
calling for an opinion Of q witness"
and said, "the jury will be able to
decide"
Lanier withdrew the question and
accepted the suggestion. Don't worry.
The jury will see It." he said. The
jurors carefully scrutinized the
voucher.
Williams also was asked to produce
minutes of the state relief committee
for March 9. 1888 and for . meeting
Of August IS, 1888 designating the
policy Of the committee"
After the jury had accepted salary
vouchers offered as exhibits by the
government, the court announced Q
recess until Monday morning.
A new bailiff took charge or the
jury over the weekend. He Is Fred
Burau, former sheriff Of Burke coun.
ty. The Judge told him he had 1.-TWO
duties: One to see that the Jurors
have all the conveniences and CON-
forts allowed by the rules Of the court
and marshal's office: the other to
protect them from annoyance from
any person Whatsoever. do not
charge you on that without some ree-
son for t."

son said he supposed there was pc
cause Of the large amount OF work
that had to be done at that time: II
was never brought to his attention.
however, he said.
Thorp inquired, "Whomade estimates
as to office necessities and who pass
ed on administrative expense?"
Data Given by Secretary
1.-THE data" the judge replied, was
furnished by the executive secretary"
''But the ultimate judgment was
the committee's7"
EYES,"
do you know Of any instance when
the governor changed any OF the flg-
ures that came from the Officer"
Il do not"
"When the matter Of removing Mr..
Kinzer came up, did the governor
promptly CONSENT" The judge said
there was no opposition to It.
Christianson testified that no men,
bers Of the relief committee drew sal
aries "as SUCH" He said that it was
mis- understanding the committee
ceased to function with his appoint
ment under Harry L. Hopkins, the
national administrator. He said he
interpreted the change as placing
control directly under Hopkins.
Later in his testimony he qualified
his statement to explain that MIS-.
Craig was paid q $500 monthly salary
as field representative. She was the
only one to draw salary. he said.
"You and the governor had a dis
cussion regarding Kinzer-what was
it," asked Lanier.
well, in q general way-that is
ono Of the things was q letter writ
ten by Kinzer to Hopkins-which
was one Of the reasons Ewing insisted
on his retirement. The letter was
very critical-it criticized very sew
erely an action Of the committee
which had been undertaken on recon-
Of the field representa-
tive"
Secretary Recommended Wage
Salaries Of employees were fixed by
the committee on recommendation OF
the secretary, with the exception Of
the salaries Of Mrs. Craig and Of the
secretary. Christensen said.
The letter showed Kinzer was 80
out of sympathy with the
aims Of the administration that 1t
was impossible to retain him in q
position" Christianson
said.
Following Christianson's testimony,
he stepped from the witness chair and
walked around the bench, to be met
~ Presiding Judge Miller. The two
:lasped hands, and Judge Miller In
pited him to q chair beside him.
For few moments the court was
;reated to the spectacle Of the two
Judges sitting side by side at the trial.

Arthur E. Thompson. Mrs. Minnie D
Craig and Lee Nichols were the other
members.
Christianson said he Is now ad-
ministrator OF FERA for North Da-
kota.
The first executive secretary Of the
relief committee was E. H. Brant of
Linton, Christianson said. r. A. Kim
ger, one OF the defendants, succeeded
Brant in about March, 1893, served
Until September to be succeeded by
John l.. Williams Of Washburn. pres
ent secretary.
Christensen recounted the duties OF
the committee.
your actions as a committee were
based in the main on figures fur
nished by the executive secretary"
Lanier asked him.
That's true" was the reply.
did your committee have ANYTHING
to do with supervision over employees?
mo direct supervision was the
answer.
who does?"
THE executive. secretary"
Heard Of Pledges In Summer
I'm the summer of 1888, it came to
your attention that emergency relief
employees were being solicited?" Lanier
Queried.
THAT did come to my attention:
yes. sir" Christensen answered.
The first report he heard of the
solicitation, Christensen explained.
was that Mrs. Craig had been solicited
for pledge to THE Leader" The in
formation came from Sherrard Ewing,
then field representative in charge of
relief work in several states.
Asked whether he had heard that
solicitations were extensive, Christian
son replied that mo facts were given
other than that complaints had been
made to Washington"
Ewing wanted to take the matter up
with LANCER, Christianson said.
From that contact and converse
ton with Ewing, did you get the idea
that this trouble was being corrected?"
Lanier asked.
"Yes."
The next time he heard about the
solicitations was either in December,
1888 or January, 1894, Christensen
said. BY that time, he added, Ewing
had passed out Of the picture" be-
Ing assigned to another territory.
Thompson called the matter to his
attention, Christensen said by asking
do you know that contributions are
still being made by members Of the
office force?"
Il said I certainly DON'T" Christian
son testified he told Thompson.
williams Investigates
Christensen said John williams,
present executive secretary, was called
and I'VE asked him to check up and
see II that was So"
Thompson said post dated checks

had been collected" Christensen
added. Orders were given by RELIEF
committee to "'see that they were re.
turned"
Between the time you talked K
Ewing and the time the matter was
brought to your attention did YOU
know anything Of the collection Of
these monies?" Lanier asked.
Il did not" replied Judge Christian
son. If had, they probably would
have been stopped"
WAS It part Of the duties Of the
committee to 60 into the office Of the
emergency relief administration for
the purpose Of checking up and in
structing as to the conduct of the
Officer" Lanier continued. The an
swer was mo-"
Lanier inquired "whose duty was
IT," and the witness said it was "the
executive secretary's."
did the committee make recon-
mendations as to the employment Of
certain people in the Officer" asked
Lanier.
Had Employment System
II don't recall any except such as
might have come from the field rep
resentative," Judge Christianson re-
piled. He explained that later a reso-
luton was adopted by the state COM
mittee that applications for employ
ment should be passed on by two
members largely because Of the num-
Der seeking employment"
ITO whom did persons go for en-
ployment2" Lanier queried.
Il think the minutes Of the COM
nlittee will show" he replied, that
they went to the executive secretary"
Under cross examination by George
Thorp OF defense counsel, Christian
son said he was first advised of his
appointment by Ewing. His unofficial
appointment was in January, Christ
hanson testified, and he received his
formal appointment as member of
the committee March 2. 1893.
He explained that he attended sew
eral meetings Of the committee, but
did not vote, as he had not definitely
made up his mind as t. whether he
vas going to serve.
i couldn't see my way clear" Chris
tianson explained, land I didn't want
to serve as chairman until I had de-
fillitely made up my mind"
LANCER Met With Group
Contact with the committee was
made by Governor LANCER on three
occasions, Christensen recalled on
cross examination. Once, when Chris
tianson desired his signature on tel
egram to Washington urging more
funds, and on another occasion when
the governor came to them to dis
cuss his objections to the appoint
ment Of q certain man as q field rep
resentative Of the relief administra-
ton.
A certain person had been suggested

In fact, the boys really saw one
of those silver Innings. They be-
lieved better pitching was in store,
that their hitting was to improve
still more and that the opposition
was bound to run into the same
sort of trouble the home team has
been experiencing ever since the
opening of the campaign.
Two Pitchers Ready
For example, the Griffs point
to the fact that Pitchers Walter
Stewart and Earl Whitehill have
shown by their most recent ef-
forts that they are about ready
to travel nine innings at top clip.
Next, they want it to be brought
out again that Tommy Thomas,
another veteran, already has gone
that distance, and in other efforts
has demonstrated that he is avail
able for a commendable showing
almost every time he steps into
the box.
And finally their hitting. Yes
terday, they'd have you realize,
they collected IS bingles, most Of
them at moments when they were
most needed. The day before they
gathered II, and, although a game
was lost, it was because Of bad
pitching and not hitting.
So what? The worm is bound
to turn soon, that's what. Maybe
today in the final game of the
current series against the New
York Yankees. Maybe not, but
soon. And that's not kidding.
Today, Stewart and his team
mates will pull for Monte Weaver
to get the Griffs back into the
winning column.

awarded him. Anxious to make
the most of this opportunity and
superbly conditioned, the old
