TUESDAY OCTOBER 10, 1911, 4 o’clock Wednesday afternoon.’ The hour and place was fixed, the tele- phone records prove the call from Dumas to Smyth at Puposky. The “state is still a party to this trans- o action. The fact is important. Mr. Smyth comes to town on Wednesday morning, the 15th day of June, and meets his father. Wasn’t he a gen- tleman? You know him. I will ad- mit, personally, that the only thing against Mr. Smyth was the fact that he has spent a good deal of his time in Mr. Bailey’s office. “If they had tried to get your son and turn him out a criminal wouldn’t you have taken a little interest? And wouldn't you have had some little interest in what was going on? And Smyth did. I will admit that he was proud of it too, because he had rea- son to be proud that from that boy’s mother he had drawn some qualities that could not be destroyed and would not permit him to be entrapped into a criminal life. “Now, then, he comes in and he sees his. father and his father gives him $100 that the old gentleman re- ceived from Sam Fullerton, that Sam Fullerton got from the Second Na- tional Bank in St. Paul that came and was charged to the fire marshal’s department. Identification of it was taken and given to Bert Smyth for the purpose of giving it to this de- fendant,—a doctor bill, the honorable counsel will argue. Where is your doctor bill? The defendant sets out to collect his doctor bill at the same time that Mike Davis was in town. The defendant phones to Smyth at the same time laying out plans for the Puposky affair. Where is your doctor bill? And to support state- ments they brought in whom? A man by the name of Lydick, a man who had money to buy land. He spent a whole day in the saloons of Bemidji and, according to his own testimony, spent 20 minutes in Larson’s saloon. loons or what he saw ‘and ‘yet that man remembers the slight detail of a remark of this defendant. They Produced George Stein. “They then producé.} George Stein. All he testified to was about a little matter as to the time of day he met the defendant on the corner. “Now, we have the defendant in town on the 15th day of June last. Smyth said that he saw this man Du- mas on the street before he met him in front of the Bank saloon and the defendant said, ‘T have had a streak of good luck; Mike Davis arrived in town unexpectedly on a freight train.’ Munhall Gets Behan. “Now, Bill Munhall asks Martin Behan to come to Bemidji and Mar- tin Behan comes to Bemidji. He came here for the purpose of getting a job. I have nothing to say in the defense He could not remember the other sa- absolutely of Martin Behan. His life has been a little different from the life history ‘of this defendant. The conditions surrounding it are some- what harder, somewhat harsher. ‘He came here for work with his wife and expected to get a job. True, he had worked in places where these men knew him. Dumas knew him, so Martin Behan says, but there is in this case not the slightest bit of evi- dence that Martin Behan himself had ever been connected with any crim- inal transaction prior to this time. He came here for work. He found he could not get any but that is not the purpose that brought Martin Be- han to Bemidji. The defendant did not bring him here for that purpose. He did not go to Cass Lake and take work in Tedford’s saloon. He start- ed him out on an entirely different course. They Go Into Larson’s Saloon. “About 4 o’clock on Wednesday af- saloon,—Smith and Dumas, Larson tells you. They ask for a room. Du- mas had a couple of men along with him. Pretty soon along comes those two men, Mike Davis and Martin Be- han. Mike Davis goes in first and then Martin Behan. Now, then, for what purpose was the defendant at- tempting to collect a doctor’s bill? Was Mike Davis there to assist in collecting that doctor bill? Why did the defendant bring in Mike Davis at that meeting? Dumas knew this man well enough to wave his hand at him. Behan s Story. “Martin Behan, poor Martin Be- han. The saddest thing in all this case, the veil of sorrow that touches the hearts of every mother. He tes- tified at the preliminary hearing, so weak that a physician had to take him from the stand, with a disease that few men recover from, taken care of 'by the state later and sent to a sanitarium at Pine City.
