would have come of his attempt to impeach Olson, no one ever will know.
 For while his wife and co-work- CT, Edith, and his lO-year-old daughter, Marda, looked helplessly On, gang bullets cut him down.
 Turned Fire on Olson
 Because Ed. J. GofH, Henneptn County attorney, was one of those whom Liggett had savageJy at- tackled, and because government G. men refused to interfere, prosecu- ton has been in the hands of At- torney General Harry H. Peterson.
 For 20 weeks, Liggett printed a set of accusations against Olson. Direct accusations against local citizens and officials in exposes" of alleged vice, gambling, and liquor racketeering were weekly features of Liggett's paper.
 His widow is carrying 1t on, and since his death circulation has climbed.
 Liggett's friends, 300 of whom flocked to his funeral, contend that any charges that Liggett was try- ing to shake down" underworld characters or officials in exchange for immunity from attack, are uti- likely.
 They point out that he was ai- ways out of funds, not usually the mark of the racketeer. 39o, Minneapolis has been surprising- ly calm about the affair thus far, and there is no evidence of any great shakeup in local police or mu- nicipal circles. But organizations such as the Law Enforcement League have demanded to know how much truth there is in Lig- gett's often-repeated charges that government and crime are all too closely linked in the cities which Edgar Hoover, head G-ma1, once called breeding places for crime"

 In former years, Liggett had been interested in the Non- Partisan League movement, which for 8 time dominated the state. He rec sumed that interest, now represent cd by the Farmer-Labor party, but became convinced that the "All- Party" coalition of forces repre- sented by Gov. Floyd Olson did not represent true Farmer-Labor principles.
 So when his paper, the Midwest American, was launched, Liggett not only, savagely attacked local vice, gambling, and bootlegging conditions in Minneapolis; but pitched into Governor Olson.

Witness Accuses Cam

At least one more witness, Wes- ley Andersen, who has been kept in police custody for his own protec- tion, is expected to testify that he was brushed by the murder car just before the shots rang out, and, as he turned to expostulate, saw Cam clearly in the car.
 State Senator George P. Wolfe was near the scene of Liggetts murder and recalled seeing car containing three men parked in ar, alley near Liggett's home, a rear window down despite the falling snow, the engine running. He IS not expected to be able to identify the men, however.
 Against such state witnesses as these, Cam, whom his keepers call "the most worried prisoner ever to lodge in the Hennepin County jail," will introduce an airtight alibi sworn by several witnesses.
 Cann's layer, an able defensive legal fighter who previously de- tended the Touhy gang and the Bremen kidnapers, will try to prove that at the time of the cowardly murder of Liggett, his client was seated in 8 barber chair some dis. tance from the scene. 1s .,.

 Only a few weeks before the murder, Liggett was beaten up on the street, as he claimed, by Kid Cam and his associates.
 Cam counter charged that Lig- gett had tried to shake him down for $l500," which Liggett badly needed. That incident, widely aired at the time, gives 8 clew as to the tack the trial is apt to take on both sides. ......l

 The actual battle on conviction or exoneration of Cam will be fought over conflicting identifica- tions. Liggett's widow, the slight, dark woman who stood at his side during his months of lonely strug- gle, will identify Cam as the man whose "leering face leaning out of the automobile window I can never forget"
 She saw Cam clearly, she says, just before the sub-machine gun spoke and her husband fell, pack ages of groceries they had just bought spilling across the sidewalk from his lifeless arms.

Can Be Built
The farmer who has fast light truck
can readily convert it into camping
car, either by building in hunks and
lockers, or by using it to haul tent
outfit. Many secondhand tent outfits
are on the market now at a fraction of
their original cost, due to the popularity
of coach camping. A compact tent out

car, equipped with trunk and luggage
racks.
