BISMARCK FIRST WITNESS IN MURDER CASE IS RANCH OWNER Tells of Murdered Man Making First Pass Which Led Up To Fatal Shot GRUESOME EXHIBITS. FIND WAY IN COURT STATE RESTS AT 10:00 A. M. The state rested its case in the Starkweather murder trial at 10 o'clock this morning. No parti- cularly new evidence was intro. duced. Jack Crowley was again called to testify as to what he found on Starkweather’s person when the latter was searched after the shooting. He testified he found the gun-belt, and that the revol- ver, with which Starkweather had shot Osterman, had fallen to the ground. The defense called its witness- es at 10:05 o’clock, there being but three—Mrs, Genevieve Stark. weather,. wife of the defendant; Mrs. Mary Hopkins, mother-in-law of the defendant, and Starkweath- er, himself, Mrs.. Starkweather testified as to the time and the date her hus- band left the house on the morn- ing of the. murder and told her husband he had better take the revolver along with him as he might run across some coyotes in the pasture. Hopkins cor- roborated tarkweather’s testimony. William Starkweather, defend- ant, took the stand early this af- ternoon and narrated the events leading up to the shooting. He declared Osterman had made a pass at him and that when he, (Starkweather) raised his hand which held the revolver to ward off the blow, the gun met Oster- man’s hand. resulting in its dis- charge. It is expected that the defense will rest about 4 o’clock. Mrs, Mandan, N. D., Dec. 21.—Gruesome jexhibits—a revolver and the blood- |stained underclothes and shirt worn at the time William Osterman was murdered on the Jack Crowley ranch on May 16, 1916—were exhibited in the district court yesterday at the trial jof Wm C. Starkweather who is alleged to have shot and killed Osterman. Sev- eral women among the spectators who crowded the little courtroom buried itheir faces in handkerchiefs when the exhibits were brought out by the state, and marked by the court stenographer accepted. Crowley ‘First’ Witness. Jack Crowley, owner of the famous Crowley ranch which was the setting for the murder, was the first witness called by the state yesterday after- noon. He testified that he saw the men walk backward and forward and that Osterman made a_ statement something to the effect “I'll do it, but put away that gun.” In describing the shooting, Crowley admitted that Starkweather’s back was partly to- ward him and that prior to the shoot- ing Osterman made a pass at the de- fendant. The witness told of hurry- ing to the ranch house, getting his rifle, covering Starkweather with it, handing it to a person named Pat I. Castello, and then striking Stark- weather on the head with his fist and searching him. Pat Costello Testifies. Pat I. Costello, second witness call- ed by the state, said he told Stark- weather not to go away. as officers would find and turn him over to the sheriff. He further testified that Starkweather told him to leave him alone or he would shoot them. both. Attorney Sullivan, for the defense, then commenced his. cross-examina- tion and first asked Costello if he had not talked the matter of testity- ing over with Jack Crowley and that they had decided what they ~ould say. He admitted to Sullivan that Starkweather wanted to give himself ‘up immediately and made no attempt to get away, that as soon as the shot was fired,‘ Osterman started anl fell, and that they (meaning Crowley and Costello) rushed to the dead man as he gasped “Oh, I'm shot.” Starkweather Started to Cry. “Starkweather,” he said, then start- ed to cry and said “No, you're not, Bill, I didn’t mean to do it.” He fur- ther testified Starkweather became wife at one half rates.

NORTH DAKOTA hysterical and said the shooting was accidental, He said: “T didn’t fire the gun, it just went off, when I started back to avoid the} blow of Osterman.” It was also-brought out that Costel- lo said something about “I'll shoot a mar. for $10.00.” Costello was.. not sure what the defendant stated, whether it was “Do. you. think. I'd shoot a man for $10.00,” or “think of it, shoot a man for $10.00!” . The..de- fendant claimed he said :the first re- mark, but Costello and Crowley think he said the latter, Neither would swear to it, but thought they were sure, Garage Man is. Called. The garage man at Golden Valley, {Edmund Scharp, was the next witness called, and stated on direct examina- tion that Starkweather came to his garage about 9:30 Monday morning, May .22—the day of the murder. Starkweather said “Did you see-any- thing of Bill?” (meaning Osterman), Scharp said he had not seen him, but believed he was down at the Crowley ranch. Scharp said he heard two men talking outside the garage a short time after. One man was Starkweath- er and heard him saying “He'll know a darn sight better next time I see him.” BERNSTORFF BEES: PEACE MEETING IN WILSON’S ACT _ (Continued from Page One) “British embassy officials made no attempt to conceal their surprise at the president’s action. sts APPLAUD LLOYD GEORGE.

For. one reason the skin does not throw off the uric acid. by profuse sweating, asin the hot weather, and the kidneys are unable to take care of the double bur: den. Another reason is that: people do not drink as much water in cold weather as in summbr, which helps to flush the. kidneys.
