TOLD JAMES WORKED
IN COLORADO TOWN
Claim Case Is Made Stronger,
However, Despite New De-
velopments
MORE PERSONS QUESTIONED
States Attorney Says Some Of
Them Aver Suspect Was in
Fargo in 1921

Fargo, May 5.-(P)-The claim Of
Arthur G. James that he was In Colo
RADIO at the time Marie Wick was
killed in q Fargo hotel Is years ago
apparently was unofficially substan-
tiated Friday night, but the state de-
clared that during the last "a hours
its case against the suspect had been
strengthened.
James is claimed to have said on
several occasions that he and an
other man slew the Grygla, Minn.,
girl in her hotel room after attack
ing her, but when arraigned In Fargo
Thursday James denied having made
such a statement.
The Colorado and Southern rail-
way paymaster at Denver said q man
named Arthur G. James worked the
full month Of June, 1921, at Fort Col
Inns, Colo. The Wick girl was slain
June Z, 1921.
A description of the James on the
railroad payroll In Colorado at that
time seemed to correspond with that
of the suspect James. G. S. Nortrup,
G. & s. station agent at Fort Collins,
described the man as about five feet
eight inches, weight about $50 pounds,
dark hair, medium complexion and
about % years old at the time in
question.
A. r. Bergesen, states attorney Of
Cass county, said the description ap-
proximately would correspond with
that Of Arthur @. James in 1921.
Intent on ferreting out every scrap
Of information available on the new
development in the crime for which
william GUNNER for Is years has
been in the state penitentiary in Bis
marck, serving a life term, Bergesen
said he probably would send man
to Colorado to make an official in
vestigation of the alibi.
Strengthening Of the states claim
in the case is claimed by Bergesen to
have come Thursday night and early
Friday during questioning Of persons
who claim to know that James was In
the state at the time of the murder.
Five witnesses have signed affida-
Wits that they heard James, In the
presence of the other man, state that
he and the man killed the girl.

w. Mellon, whom Republican leaders
called "the greatest secretary OF the

tional taxes and penalty of $685.
540.45, based on his 1891 return. He
said he would appeal to the U. s.

The director of the vast Mellon ii.
nancial empire declared the action is
In utter disregard Of statutory regu-
lations" and that he is "as much in
the dark as ever as to any ground"
but in Washington Attorney General
Cummings replied that Mr.. Mellon
Is not as much in the dark as he
would have the public believe"
Il know something about the ad-
ministration of tax laws" the Mellon
statement continued, but never un-

ject Of this extraordinary procedure"
Mellon commended there are no
grounds for the demand for addi-
tional taxes.
while the treasury has increased
the amount Of my taxable income, It
has not allowed me, or given me an
opportunity to claim, the proper per-
centage Of credit specially provided
by law relating to gifts made by me
in 1881 amounting to total Of So
100000 for charitable, religious anu
public educational purposes, although
