Defendants Watch lntently
As they walked through the hotel
lobby they passed three Of the de.
PENDANTS and two defense lawyers
seated In chairs. They were Harold
Mcdonald. Leader solicitor; Oscar

and r. A. Kinzer. former secretary q
the federal relief set-up, al sitting
together. Sitting apart were Attor-

Ter, Thorp In his carpet slippers.
The defendants watched intently as
the men with whom their fate rests
filed by.
That all was not argument within
the jury room was indicated by the call
for q deck Of cards, indicating that
some OF the men were seeking q bit
Of relaxation, and by the fact that
occasionally q pair Of feet could be
seen propped up on the windowsill.
Glimpses into the jury room from
the outside indicated that most Of the
jurors were in their shirtsleeves.
While the jury labored. interest in
the outcome Of the case ran high. Nu-
merous long distance telephone calls
were received by The Tribune Friday
night from persons in al parts OF the
state who were curious to learn II q
decision had been reached.
Three possible verdicts are open to
the jurors. They are guilty" or mot
guilty" as applied to all Of the de-
PENDANTS. The third alternative Is
to find two or more guilty and the
remainder not guilty. The fact that
one alone cannot be held guilty and
the others excused is due to the legal
requirement that It takes two or more
persons to participate In conspiracy

insult Again Loses
Fight to Avoid Trial

Chicago, June 16.-(R)-Samuel In
sull Saturday lost his second consec-
utive round in his battle to avoid
trial In federal court on charges OF
using the mails to defraud.
Judge Philip L. Sullivan overruled
a plea In abatement which challenged
the legality Of the grand jury which
returned the indictment against In
sull and II other defendants.
insults counsel informed the court
in arguments over the motion that
not until insult was thrust In Jail at
Smyrna. Turkey, did he have actual
knowledge that he was under indict-
ment In Chicago on the mail fraud
charge.
The indictmest was voted Feb. -,

the case.
What the situation is among the
jurors could not be ascertained, al
though all sorts of rumors continued
to fly through the streets Of Bis
marck.
The Jurors were In constant ses-
sion until $50 a. m. Saturday and
when they finally decided to get a
little sleep the report was spread that
decision had been reached. This
report proved erroneous, however,
when the jurors appeared for break
fast at 9 a. m, and then went back
to the job Of attempting to adjust
their apparent differences of opinion.
Friday was long and wearing day
for the IL men upon whom rests the
decision as to whether the defendants
should 60 free or possibly be sen
fenced to prison terms.
Receiving the case shortly after
noon Thursday. they deliberated un-
til midnight, taking time out only for
lunch.
Going back into session at 3 q. m.
Friday. they took q 45-minute respite
for lunch and then returned to the
Jury room in the federal building,
where they remained in continuous
session until $50 q. m. Saturday
morning.
Early in. the evening they requested
three blankets and two pillows and at
midnight they asked for and were
served lunch consisting Of 70 sand
wiches and five pots Of coffee. That
was the sum total of the word from
behind the closed doors where the fate
of the governor and his alleged CO.
conspirators was being debated.
No Time Limit Set
How long the jury will be in session
depends, Of course. upon Its ability to
reach an agreement or the time when
It comes to the conclusion that m
agreement is impossible.
Federal Judge Andrew Miller. who
presided at the trial, indicated Fri
day that he would permit the jury to
reach its own decision Is to the pos.
sibility Of agreement or disagreement.
The trial lasted nearly four weeks and
the assumption has been that the
Judge would be unwilling to accept q
disagreement until the last chance Of
reaching q verdict had been ex-
hausted.
That there still was chance for
agreement Saturday afternoon was
inferred from the fact that the jur-
orS had asked no additional instruc.
tions from the Judge. A report that
they had returned a verdict Of dis
agreement but that the Judge had re-
fused to accept it. was In error.
Despite the strain Of their long ses-
sions. the jurors appeared cheerful
enough Saturday morning. As they
came from breakfast at the Patter-
son Hotel, shepherded by the three
baliffs, they seemed in genial mood
for men who had been up most Of
the night. To newspapermen who
have been covering the TRAN one Of

MAKE SUGGESTIONS
ON. DROU7H RELIEF
Recommendations for National
Taken to Washington by
Hopkins Aide

Recommendations by North Dako-
ia experts as to the best manner Of
fighting the drouth in this area were
taken back to Washington Saturday
by Jacob Baker, assistant to Relief
Director Hopkins. after q conference
here Friday afternoon.
The meeting was divided into four
groups to discuss land classification
and utilization. the surface water
problem and construction Of dams by
men on work relief. livestock drolth
relief and the canning and process
ing.of cattle to utilize the meat To-
cally for relief purposes.
Later all four sections met in a
group conference at which recon-
mendations for united program were
made. These were taken to WASH
ington by Baker and his colleagues
in the federal relief administration
It was the general opinion that
land taken over BY the counties for
taxes, on which it has been demon
strated that people are unable to
make q living, should be turned into
grazing or recreational areas, prefer
ably by the construction Of dams for
the conservation Of water.
The surface water committee sug-
gested that some minor phases OF
the Missouri river diversion project
could be undertaken by men on re-
lief work. Whether or not diversion
is attempted, these projects would be
of such nature as to merit con-
struction regardless Of the larger pro-
posal. It was agreed that, where
equipment Is available and the pro.
cess seems feasible. livestock should
be canned for distribution in the
state. E. A. Wilson, deputy relief
administrator, said Saturday, how
ever. that he knows Of no place
where such equipment is available
in North Dakota. Home canning Of
meats for local use was considered
most feasible.
