” THE WEATHER * } Generally Fair THIRTY-NINTH YEAR BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 4, 1920 THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE ==! PRICE FIVE CENTS LAYER HAD FAIR ~ CHANCE TO DENY HIS CONFESSION Chief of Police Martineson Ans- werg Talks of Activity of Officers NO “THIRD DEGREE” USED Officers in Case Willing to Lay All Details Bare, He Says “If anyone believes the confession of Henry Layer to the «murder of! eight people near Turtle Lake was forced from him, every officer con- nected in the case is willing to lay every detail of the arrest and confes- sion before any impartial court,” de- clared Chief of Police Martineson to- day, following the announcement that attornevs had been retained by Lay- er’s relatives and,friends to seek a new trial for him. a Martineson was ,given.\credit for, solving the murder mystery, the state- ments to this effect were presented to} Governor Frazier by offictils of Mc-! Lean county, as showing him entitled to the $1,000 reward: offerbd by the Governor,; but never paid!’ Associated . with Martinegon, were Sherif Ole Stefferud, of'sMcLean) county; G. D./ McDonald, Northern’ Pacific detective and. Detective Hezner, ‘of the Thiel) detective agency of St: Paul. “We have been silent while a -num- ber'of people have circulated tumors | that we used “third degree” methods, because we thought that the talk was only such as might naturally follow; such a case,” continued Chief Mar- tineson. “Now it appears that-an or: ganized effort is being made in behalf of Layer to discredit the officials con-| ~nected with the case. | Had Every Chance “Henry Layer had every ‘opportun-; ity to repudiate the confession he made before he entered the state prison where he now is serving a lite} sentence. He ‘had every opportunity to deny his guilt and stand trial. Mr. Layer can not stand in court! and claim a lily white reputation, aside! from this case. He was of quarrel-! ' gome disposition when he lived in Emmons county before he moved to near Turtle Lake. On his farm he had 16 gallons of moonshine when arrest-, ed, and he admitted making it.. He: even told us he -made it from the in- gredients used in the county grass-! hopper. poison before the poison was! put in it.” One of the charges ‘made by Layer’s relatives is that he was beaten up in the jail at Washburn. pees “He was atrested in the afternoon: and he’ confessed shortly after mid-! ‘night,” continged. Martinéson. “He was alone a part of that time. He was not beaten, nor was he brow-; beater. He was questioned long and continuously, of course, but no ‘third degree’, methods were used. His own conscience forced him to confess at- ter he had gazed ypon pictures of vic- ti s iS. “After he confessed he was ‘eft alone. He slept well and he ate a hearty breakfast. He was taken be- fore a justice of the peace, who urged} him. to have a preliminary hearing. He refused. He was taken before the district , judge, who assured him of every protection of the law, who had him repeat the entire confession in answer to questions.and the recordg of the court reporter will show that ~he didn’t vary one bit from*the con- fession he gave us, which some peopie now say we wrote and forced him to sign. yen Story Proved Trye “Henry Layer had plenty of time to ponder on the crime before he cqn- fessed; he had plenty of time to pon-|: der on’ the effect of ‘his confession ‘before hé went to prison. “He related to us incidents which) later were proved to be true, which we did nat know at the time. “No one wants to see an innocent| man convicted, but it is strange that so. many pople should,try to absolve a man from the most terrible murder ever committed in North Dakota.” MINOT PROVIDES ° CAMPING GROUND es FOR TOURISTS Minot, Aug. 4.—Minot is fast gaining the distinction of having one of the best camps for auto tourists along the Theodore Roosevelt highway and vis- itors at the camp are loud in. their, praise of the conveniences and ser- vice.

It was not seriously challenged and was agreed to without revision.

The police for weeks have sought ‘a girl known to them as “Ruth,” who was reputed friendly with the slain horseman.

It was ‘also announced that the American railroads would ask the Canadian railroad commissioners for permission to make the new rates effective on transportation from the United States to the dominion. Decision to postpone the putting into ,effect of the advance in the charges, authorized last Saturday by the interstate commerce commission from the dates announced yesterday was reached tonight after tariff ex- perts of the carriers had informed Alfred A. Thom, general counsel for the Association of Railway Exec- utiyes, that it would be impossible to have the blanket schedules ready before August 21. Under the orders of the commission, the new sched- ules must be filed five days before they become. effective. Application of the new schedules to transportation to Canada, officals ‘| said, would mean that shippers will pay freight charges under the new tariffs for their classification terri- tories unless the shipment passes ,through moré than one group before crossing the line, in which case the inter-territorial rate, which is to be advanced 33 1/3 per cent, would ap- ply.

PEACE AT HOME GREATER PRIZE. SEN, HARDING Candidate, Makes Second Speech of Front Porch Presidential Campaign TAKES, UP LEAGUE ISSUE Let. No Other Nations Force This Country Into War. He Tells Audience ~ Marion, 0., Aug. 4.—Decrying ap- Peals to classes as a menace second only to surrenderof nationality, Sena- tor Harding in his second front porch presidential campaign speech today deciared that if he! could choose but one he would “rather have industria) and sOcial peace-at home than com- mand the international’peace. of all the world.” ‘ He asserted it would be unwise fo! this country to permit “our activi- ties in seeking for peace in the old word to ving us to the essentials of peace at -home,” and added that “if America can be made to forget the attempted barter of nationality well- and’ good,” but that “when na- tionality is.surrendered to interna- ticrality little else matters and all appeal is in vain.” The address was delivered to a delegation of Wayne county, Ohio, Republicans. ; Takes Up League Taking up the league of: nations Senator Harding declared it to be the other, extreme to a referendum on a proposed declaraticn of war. “I emphatically agree,” he said, “that ro authority other than congress may call our boys to battle. Acvepting this truth why make a_ covenant which violates the good faith of na- tions?” “Suppose,” he continued, ‘that un- der article 10 a program of: armed force is agreed upon and the! Con gress of the United States declines to respond, the executive would be called upon to carry on a war with- out ‘constitutional authority or we should prove our. compact not, more than a scrap of paper.. We are on the side of both of safety and honor to hold for ourselves the decision of our application to the world.” Express Concern “There have come to me not at all unbecomingty: the: express anxieties, of American foreign-born, who are asking our country’s future attitude on territorial awards in the adjust: ment of peace. They are Americans all but they have a proper and natural interest in the fortunes of kinsfolk and native lands. One can not blame them. If our land is to settle the en- vies, rivalries, jealousies and hatreds of all civilizations these adopted sons of the Republic want the’ settlement favorable to the land from which they came, Appeals to No Class | \ There is another thought relating to concord so essential to continued advancement. It was said the other day that the Democratic party meant especially to appeal to the farmers and the wage,earners and let America forget the failure of the world’s ex- periment. If America.can be made to forget the attempted barter of nation- ality well and good. It would be bet- ter if we could forget. But when na- tionality is surrendered to interna- tionality little ele matters and al! appeal is in vain. There is only one other: menace so threatening to our tranquility. That menace is the ap- peal to class in determining what our government is to be. I would hold myself unworthy of your confidence if I spoke an appeal to either farmers or wage earners because of their larger number. We wish the confidence of all.” Z .

Gustafson, county agent. ‘rhe crop is the best in the last four years in this district. The average yield an acre for Bur- leigh county will be in the neighbor- hood of 15 bushels. Rust has caused damage running as high as 15 per cent in some parts, but the average damage throughout the entire county is less than 10 per cent. The harvest season, opening early, caused a temporary shortage of labor. The demand for labor is rather strong now, but the employment bureau ex- pects, to be able to fill all demands soon. The rye crop is mostly cut: The flax crop is very good. Corn has im- proved the last-few days since the rain. Potatoes have also improved greatly in the last few days. Reports from Dickinson are to the effect that the harvest is on through- out the western part of the state. Many farmers began cutting oats last week and the rye harvest is over. The yield promises to be above the ‘aver. age, and many wheat fields in the vi- cinity of Dickinson will run 25 to 30 bushels to the acre. The average will be around 18. P. R. Fields, manager of the Intér- national Harvester branch, says that business is heavy just now. “The harvest is a trifle premature” he says, “and the sudden rush has caused a slight labor shortage. The damage from rust will not run over 10 per SEND SOLDIERS AGAINST REBELS IN MEX.

Paris, Augs 4.—Warsaw will have to be evacuated within | two or three days, in the opin- ion of French and British mili- tary experts there, and the gov- ernment is expected to be mov- ed within that period, probably to Cracow. The report of the members of the military mission telegraphed here last night declared that the Polish army’ along the river Bug has retreated so precipitately that it did not even destroy the bridges: behind it. This river was Warsaw’s line of defense.

The military men said, they had ‘virtually abandoned hope of the Poles making a stand now. ‘The Polish’ armistice delegation’ re- turned to Warsaw Tuesday night and the Polish government has little hope of fhe speedy arranging of an armis- tide. The members of the, allied mis- sion are convinced that the Soviet government does not intend to neg: otiate an jarmistice; they reported,’ and declared their belief that the Russians had set the hext meeting of ‘the negotiations for today at Minsk, knowing that it would be impossible for the Poles fo arrive at that time, making a pretext for further delay. i Fear Supply Cut The Polish government it is learn- ed, is undecided as to whether it will send emissaries to Minsk. The experts, said their gravest concern was the imminent cutting of direct communications with Danzig upon which Poland is dependent for mil- itary supplies.

Three hundred carloads of supplies were brought out of Bialystok by the Red cross before the Bolsheviki cap. tured that city, and) members of the organization continued treating the wounded until ‘Soviet forces were within four miles of the town, EFFECT SEVERAL CROSSINGS London, Aug. 4.—The crossing of the river Bug at several points by the Soviet army advancing on Warsaw is announced in Tuesday’s official state- ment from Moscow received today. The continued of the army in the Bielsk region also is reported. BRITISH AROUSED London, Aug. 4.—The British gov- ernment is irritated over what it be- lieves is Russian Soviets equivocation over the British suggestion that the Russians halt at the lower armistice line of demarcation in Poland and be- gin peace negotiations.
