drew funds from this account and ap-
piled them to his personal account ct

THE government alleges in Its In
dictment," Lanier said. that $4,000

Following Laniers opening state
ment, George Thorp Of defense oo,ln-
sci moved to dismiss the action, q to
instruct the jury to return . verdict
Of acquittal on the ground that, On
the face OF the opening statement, the
government failed to show that an &C.
ton can be maintained. The court
denied the motion and Ewing vas
called as the first witness.
Frequent objections were made b.
Thorp as Ewing began his testimauy
as to the establishment Of the fed
eral relief set-up In North Dakota,
but these were overruled BY the
court.
Ewing Explains Duties
Proceed to trial! Call the Wit
nesses!" the judge ordered, after de-
nying the defense motion for dismissal
Of the case.
Ewing was sworn in. He explained
that his duties, when he came to
North Dakota in January 1883, were to
aid the respective states in setting
up organizations to handle relief
funds.
His first visit to North Dakota, he
said. was in January, 1888, when he
was met by Roy Frazier. representing
the governor, who was i'll.
A state committee, he said, was
named and included Judge A. N.
Christensen, Chairman; r. M. Stang
Ter. Mrs. Minnie Craig, superintendent
Of Public Instruction. Arthur z.
Thompson, Lee Nichols, Morton coun-
ty auditor. and E. H. Brant, executive
secretary. He said he called ct the
home Of the governor after this COM
mittee was selected and reported to
him that the group was entirely sat
isfactory.
On his first trip he stayed in Bis
nlarck five days, he said, having
to make another visit later when the
county-by-county setup was COM
pleted.
His second trip came in February.
when the organization was complete.
to enable the state to participate In
the relief funds. The application then
was drawn up for the governors sig-
nature. Lanier, 1t this point, said he
was ready to turn the witness over
to the defense for cro6s-examiuine.
provided Ewing might be recalled
later.
Thorp Examines witness
In cross-examining Ewing, Attorney
Ihorp sought to show that insofar @
the defendant, LANCER, was concerned
the initial application for state relief
funds under the Reconstruction H.
nance Corporation setup was entirely
out Of the governors hands.
Thorp, In his questioning Of the Vit.'
ness, brought out that . COMMITTEES
Of six working with Ewing compiled
the data for the application and that
It was presented to the eovernor
for his signature only after thu rolief
needs from each county had been
ascertained.
Thorp asked, "You are satisfied that

the time was true2"
