TIRER IN PRN HERE: ADMITS MINOT KILLING Arthur Buck Said to Have Con- feased Slaying Detective in Self Defense TRIAL IS BEGUN IN WARD ‘Ambushing of Officers of Magie| City by Auto Tire Ban- dits Is Recalled ch 26.—Arthur days 1e Minot, N. D., M Buck, lifer, iu court for two stood by his confession, made in prison at Bismarck to Attorney Gen- eral Langer, in which he charges that R. (E. Roberts, his alleged companion in the theft and handling of automo- bile tires, was with him on the night of April 26, 1918, when Kersey Gowin and Pat Devaney, Minot police offi- cials, were killed in attempting a raid on the plant used by the tire-stealing gang north of Minot. On Buc's confession, the third he has made since he was arrested, Rob- erts faces a charge\of first degree murder. All-day Friday and all day Satur- day Buck, brought to Minot by Harry Dunbar, state transportation - pffi- Cer, was on the witness stand before Justice Lynch, where he repeated the story of the wnight’s shooting in which the two officials gave up their Uves in the discharge of their duty. When the court recessed Saturday evening till Monday, Buck, who is about 24 years old, was still on the witness stand ,wnder cross examina- tion at the hands of Atty. E. R. Sink- ler, counsel for Roberts. O. B. Herigstad, state's attorney of Ward county, filed the charge of murder, against Roberts, and is prosecuting the case. For the murder of Gowin and De- vaney, Buck pleaded guilty and was sentenced to the penitentiary for Ufe. Whole Gang. is Broken. The double murder and subsequent invtstigation resulted in bringing in- to the hands of the authorities J. B. Shirley, who pleaded guilty to burglary and was sentenced to five years in prison, and it also brought into the hands of the authorities James Ticknor, at one time. accused | by Black of being his companion tue night of the shooting, but whom he now claims was not with him, and J. A. Parriott, these two "being charged with burglary. In a confession that he has since repudiated Buck said that Ticknor was with him wien the shooting took ‘place, but in explanation of that confession he contends that he was intimidated, and made it only be- cause the Minot police didn’t believe Roberts was the man. “I made that confession to get it ever with,” said Buck in court under cross examination’ on Saturday. “I knew I was in for life, and I wanted to plead guilty and get state protec- tion just as soon as possible.” Time and again Buck gave this as his reason for various of the state- ments that he had made in the Tick- nor copfession, which followed by only half an hour the confession he made on the night of April 28, two nights after the double murder, in the offi-> of State’s Attorney ‘Herig- “Jimmie” Ticknor, as his name is given in the evidence, also is known as Clark M, Ticknor. Ticknor and Perriott have st: to the authorities that they plead guilty to charges of burglary, and informations charging burglar will ‘be filed either today or tomor- sow in the district court. Theft of Tires the Cause. A. series of automobile tire thefts at Donnybrook, Makoti and other small towns around Minot, led up to the double murder and the breaking up of,the gang. Police had dis )ov- ered the “plant” in a pasture “rth of Minot, and Gowin and Devaney went there to arrest. the members of the gang and seize the cache. ‘Kersey Gowin was a well known detective, being employed by Attor- ney Ceneral Langer at the time of! thé celebrated Minot raids, and Pat} Devaney formerly resided at Bow- Dells, N. D. He came to Minot just a few days before he was killed to take the police position, Made Two Confessions. .. According to evidence adduced at the préliminary hearing at Roberts, Buck on the night of April 28 made two confessions. It wasn't till he was in prison at Bismarck that he} Fepudiated that confassion which implicated Ticknor, and ‘said that Roberts was the man who was wita) hin. It has peen established, too, that it was Roberts’ automobile that was used by the two murderers, who- ever they were. This is established ‘by the testimony of the driver of the ice car, who identified the ma- chine used by the mrderers by rea- gon of the fact that it was a Ford iwth a leaky radiator, and had no top. The identification of this car 1éa_ to the arrest. of Buck, Roberts sions made here, and also lied in tae third confession in some instances, hie sticks to the proposition that Rob- erts was. his companion the night‘ of the murders. On that point he has no budget while in court. “MAUD POWELL Criticism of America’s arbiters of the fate of artists, show on what a pinnacle Maud Powell, the world’s greatest violin- ist, stands.
