- DBAD GIRL LOST WAY IN FIELDS Defendants in Towner Murder Case Deny. Charge They Starved Daughter Towner, N. D., Jan. 6.—Mrs. Walter Zimmerman was recalled to the wit- ness stand today when the trial of her * husband, charged with murdering their 7-year-old adopted daughier, Margaret Kottke, was resumed in the district court of McHenry county. ‘Mrs. Zimmerman commenced her testimony late Satwlay. afternoon. She followed her husband,: the de- fendant, to the stand. He testified that Margaret Kottke disappeared from their home the night before her body was found ina strawstack on the Zimmerman farm, and that he had made an extended search for her. dur- ing the nig t withor: avail’ He tes- ‘ tified that she had wandered from the home on other occasions. ‘Contention of State ~ It has now developed: that the state contends that the child; was starved to death in.the Zimmerman home, and that the body was taken to the straw- stack after thé child died, Prosecutor B. R. Sinkler thus far has been able child’s stomach, with the, exception of undigested: wheat; that rigor mortis, death and continues for some 24 or 36 hours; Lid. not set in when the body wards, going to show that such condi- tion had taken place.and all traces of it disappeared before the body ‘was found, although Zimmerman claims that the: child’ was lost only’ six or eight hours before her body was .ccmmienced to decompose, which could not have occurred in the time the te- fendonts claim transpired etween the childs disappearance and the finding . of her body, It seems that the state is endeavoring to prove that the child died in the Zimmerman home, and the ‘body was xept in the house for a day or two, then taken to the strawetack and the alarm that the,little girl had disappeared given. ' ‘ Doctors Are Called The first two witnesses called for the. defense were Dr. Craise and Dr. Allen,.of Towner, who testified as to the length of time required for food to ie pass througn the body. Consiaerable ' vy importance is attached to this,,inas- is muchas the state. contends. th tthe 4 \ child was starved to death, while the 4 defenge contepds that the little girl a) had een fed fegularly. Dr. Craise and i Dr. Allen testified that certain food- is > stuffs would pass through the body} @; within a few hours, which was more or less contradictory to the evidence given by Dr. Stone, of Balfour corc- ner for McHenry county, and Dr. L. H. Kermott, of Minot, who gave expert testitaony on this point -while testify- ing relative to a second post mortem examination he conducted. ve Bruises on Body S Dr: Stone and Dr. Kermott also tes- tified as to the number of bruises and sores found on the child's body and declared that a number of them were caused by. the little girl being struck by some gharp, heavy iron instrument. Saturday Zimmerman testified that the child kad wandered away from her home on another night, and was away for scveral hov1s. Cross-exam- iinat:on brought out the fact that the temperature was 15 above zero that night, and the state conterids that the child would have frozen to death. Zimmerman also testified that the night the child supposed to have disappeared and died from. exposure, he searched for several hours for her in old welis and buildings within a radius of a few miles of the Zimmer- myan home, but admitted that the night was very dark and he carried tio lantern. He also testified that it was 15 degrees below freezing, and th- state contends that the body could not técome décomposed in such cold weather.

HOUSE BILL 60 (Continued From Page One) _ of the state auditor and secretary of state; removing Attorney General Langer, State. Auditor Kositzky- and boa on equalization, ‘auditing, emergency fund, ete. and filling their places with men’ completely in. har- mony with the league administration and ofhers' of this type. Most: important, perhaps, of the acts which House Bill 60. alone can give immediaté effect, is the — so-called “smelling committee” measure, under which there already has been selected an inquisatorial board of five to in- vestigate individuals or associations attacking the state or members of the administraation or its industrial. pro- gram; an act creating a. state sheritf and establishing a state constabulary of which he is chief; an act making it a felony for any state official to make.a false statement regarding the state, or any of its officials or any de- tail of its administration, and an act transferring from the attorney general ing special assistants attorney. genernl and a companion measure reducing the number of regular assistants in the attorney general’s office from five to two, HITS BUDGET BILL, act making the state sheriff instead, of the attorney general, head of the’ licensing bureau established: by the last regular session. Appropriations reduced, or as in the ease of the state board of health ,eliminated altogether, are contained in House Bill 44, which s a revision of the biennial hudget bil: passed by the regular session, The ate treasurer acted. under ihe proyi- sions of this revised bill when he re- fused to pay the salary warrant of the. state auditer’s employe. The state contends that inasmuch as this bill did not receive a two-thirds vote fi {he house it is not_an emergency meas- ure, and cites the fact that the con- stitution provides that measures othe: than emergencies :shall not become ef- fective until July 1 next following the ssion at which they were passed. It is also held by the ‘state that House Bill 60. which attempts to give other measures immediate effect. did not in itself receive a two-thirds majority vote, and, ‘therefore, cannot function until next: July. It is further set forth that 15,000 electors have filed with the secretary of state petitions asking that House Bill 60 be referred, state insists automatically Sy the operations of the act until been voted) upon. William Lempke, vice president of the National Nonpartisan league, prob- ably will represent the respondents Thursday. Four out of five “judges must hold against the act if it is to be declared unconstitutional. | MARKETS { CHICAGO LIVESTOCK _ er. Bulk, $14.55 to $14.80. ‘ Top, $1490, Heavyweight, $14.55 to 14.80.
