Sheriff’s Association And Candidate This Fall Jack Brady, sheriff of Morton county, died in the Elks club at Mandan late yesterday afternoon. of | heart affection. The end came while Mr. Brady was asleep, he having gone to sleep while sitting in a chair. The news of his death was & shock to many citizens of both Bismarck and Mandan, Mr. Brady was a large man, 42 years of age and. appeared to be the picture of health. He had been in Bismarck the day before calling on friends. Born in Minnesota, Mr. Brady came to Morton county with his parents 30 years ago. He was for several years custodian of the Elks club in Mandan, being much inter- ested in the work of the order. ; Two years ago he was_ elected | sheriff and he was candidate for! re--election, having been one of the two high in the June primary. He was sceretary-treasurer of the! North Dakota Sheriffs’ Association. He had never married. Mr. Brady “has three half-sisters in Mandan and a_ half-brother. living there; also a half brother in Wash- ington, D. C., and a brother in Chi- cago. | Funeral services will be held inj the Catholic church at Mandan on Friday morning, with the Elks in! charge. The body laid in state in the Elks hall today. The sudden death of Mr. Brady | left J. J. Strain, Nonpartisan, as the} only candidate for sheriff on the ballot in Morton county.

The opinion held jthat on| a party ballot the Republican ‘or Democratic committees could _ fill such vacancies, but no provision ‘in’ the law affected county officers. It is probable that some opponent of, Mr. Strain will make the race on, stickers.

Edward Wheeler Hall THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE (=== BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1922 (Leased Wire of Associated Press) WITNESS SURE OF IDENTITY IN HALL CASE Mrs. Gibson, Pig Raiser, She Heard Name of Murderer Called That Night DESCRIBES THE PAIR Tells of Following Them And Witnessing the Crime (By the Associated Press) New Brunswick, N. J., Oct. 26.— Mrs. Jane Gibson, pig raiser, who claims to have witnessed the murder and Mrs. Eleanor Reinhardt Mills, today | told a newspaper man that she had identified the man who she says shot the rector, as well as identifying the woman, who she asserts was with the slayer. Mrs. Gibson, who was on the Phil- lips farm the night of the double murder looking for corn thieves, and who claims to have heard the slay- er’s name called by his woman com- panion, said that she did not know the identity of the slayer at that time but that she recently has rec- j ognized him in the prosecutor’s of- fice in New Brunswick. Mrs. Gibson, who, it was learned yesterday, has told the authorities i the name of the slayer’s companion, | said today that she had once met her at a rummage sale and instant- ly had recognized her at the scene of the murder on the Phillips farin. She added that she had seen her since the double killing and was sure of her recognition. Amplifying her previous story, Mrs. Gibson said she rode op mule- back from her home into De Brussy’s lane following a wagon without lights which she thought was driven by corn thieves. She said she saw the wagon turn into Easton Avenue towards New Brunswick, The lane intersects East- | on Avenue just beyond “Lover's Lane” in which the two bodies were found. Just at the intersection, Mrs. Gib- son said she saw an old style auto- mobile standing in De Brussy’s lane. Beside the. machine, she declared, were a man and a woman, and she stopped her mule about 40 feet from them, Just then, her story goes, an- okey machine turned into the lane and the flood of light from its head- lights fell upon the two persons be- side the old automobile. The second ‘anteniobile, she. said, backed out of:thé. lane and sped away on Easton Avenue, Mes..Gibson said but while its lights were! thrown on the old machine she recognized the man and woman. She says they both stepped into the shadow before the second automobile turned around. Describes Woman Mrs. Gibsan said today that the i 4 i ‘woman wore a gray coat extending, to her knees, She says the man ‘had. a heavy dark mustache, bushy eye- brows and was of a heavy build. “When I went to the prosecutor's office,” the farm woman said today, “I saw this man and recognized him as the one who was standing be- side the car,” Mrs. Gibson says that after the second car had withdrawn the man and woman crossed De Brussy’s lance and went into the field in a general direction of the crab ‘apple tree. Judge Mott, the new special state prosecutor, came to New Brunswick today and summoned every principal in the case to the court house so that he might personally hear their stories. Mrs. Hall, widow of the rector, James Mills, husband of the woman who was killed; Charlotte Mills, their daughter; Henry and William Stevens, brothers of Mrs. Hall, and Mrs. Gibson, all will be questioned. Followed Pair Mrs. Gibson in continuing her story said that instinctively she fol- lowed the man and women who cross- ed the field. “When I turned into the dirt road,” she said, “I lost one of my mocca- sins. I dismounted to get it. When I had put it on and climbed back up- on my mule’s back, the couple had disappeared. “A few moments later I. heard | loud voices in the direction of the crab apple tree. I saw a man and woman. Then out of the darkness 1 heard more loud talking as if all were quarreling. Then I heard a shot. “] heard a woman’s voice scream in horror.” Mrs. Gibson said the woman who sereamed uttered a name and shout- |pany before Judge C. Z.

Ellis darker’s theory that fanaticism may have dictated, the Hall-Mills double murder sag-/ gests these questions: Was the murderer one person or a group of persons? Were the rector aad choir singer slain because of jealousy—or in pun} ishment for fancied transgressions? | Did the slayers have a personal animus toward them—or did they plan a terrible object lesson for the whole community? Were the love letters scattered about the bodies as a message to the world that the murderers believed the man and woman ‘had erred against the social law. 2 Did the slayers arrange the bodies) in the form of a double cross as a symbol that the purpose of the crime was punishment? ‘ The famous Quaker detective is grimly silent over these questions.

Sailstad-Richardson $10,000 to be paid by the New York Life Insurance company as insurance for the death of Mrs. Richardson’s first husband, Ed- ward J. Sailstad, will be made by the counsel for the insurance com- federal court here today. Claims .that the verdict of the jury, finding that Edward J. Sail- \stad perished in a fire at Lake Nebagammon August 7, 1920, was unreasonable, are made by te in- surance company. Counsel for te insurance company assert in their motion to set aside the jury’s ver- dict that the court erred several times in permitting the excluding of certain evidence during the trial. Charges that members of ithe jury misconducted themselves | during the trial are also entered; in the complaint. i | PEGGY CAFEE TO TAKE STAND IN PHILLIPS CASE (By the Associated Press) | Los Angeles, Cal., Oct. 26.—Peggy ; Caffee was expected to take the | stand for the state today at the trial | of Mrs. Clara Phillips, charged with having beaten Mrs. Alberta Tremaine; Meadows, 20 years old widow, tv! death with a hammer.

ASK ANNEX TO U.S. BUILDING HALL PROBERS ON WRONG TRACK; SAYS FAMOUS QUAKER SLEUTH jest succesaful j been loathe to discuss the famous j church mystery, said. -|the, product of the twisted brain of BY BOB DORMAN. NEA Service Staff Writer: Toms River, N, J., Oct. 26.—They’re wrong—all wrong! “They're followisg blind trails in the Hall-Mill; murder mystery. “When this chusen crime is solved, IT believe there will be upsetting every theory vanced.” Dective Ellis Parker is speaking. The famous Quaker detective, who has solved and secured convictions in 90 out of 99 murder cases—with j three cases still untried—gave NEA Service ‘his views on the New Bruns- wick mystery in which a church rec-} tor and choir singer were slain more than five weeks ago, Parker, 51 years old and 28 years a detective, has had many appeals to enter the Hall-Mills case. Even though the end has come to his lat- ease, in which Mrs. Ivy Giberson was convicted of the murder of her husband, Parker has so far ad- “I don’t like to talk about a case on which othc#; are working,” he “And I want it understood that I will only go to work on it: by or- der of my superior officers—and with; the full consent of all those now en- gaged on the case. “Should I be assigned to the case,; I would follow my usual procedure. “I would want all the facts and theories thus far obtained by the authorities now working on the case. Getting a Lead. “I ,would-want evéry newspaper- man to. give me all his data and} theories, “I would question each person even remotely connected with the case, in- eluding the church members. “All statements would be made a matter of stenographic record. “No man can fully carry in his! mind the exact statements’ made to hem. A careful comparison of all these statements would probably show discrepancies, They always do. “Ironing out these discrepancies} would probably furnish a lead. \ “Motives are. no safe guide in a murder case. How can we know what another person is thinking? A motive for murder may be born in an instant. “Thinly veiled insinuations have been made against Mrs. Hall. “But—isn’t it a natural thing for a God-fearing woman whose hus- band, a minister of the gospel, has mysteriously disapeared, to hire a lawyer to conduct un investigation? “Isn’t is natural that such a wo- man would be unwilling to expose her religious faith to the ever-ready sneers of hypocrites who gloat over the downfall of a leader in any ehurch? “Could not the murder have been some fanatic) who considered himself apointed. by Heaven to avenge the insult he fancied a minister of the Gospel had offered to his God? Get Facts First. “It is only by /reasoning examina- tion’ and ordination of-all the facts in-a case, with plenty of hard work thrown in, that we can arrive at the truth. “Story book detectives are good, but they start with a theory and then make the facts prove the theory. The detective in real life must take his facts as he finds them, and build them into a theory that will stand the test of court.” Parker is short and , bulky, with faded blue eyes, bald .head and a short choppy mustache, and an in- veterate pipe smoker. As a Quaker he testifies on the witness ‘stand by affirming instead of by oath. Probably the most difficult case he has- solved was the murder of Ser- geant Michael Gregor at Camp Dix. When the skeleton, identified by} keys lying nearly, was found Dec. 3, 1921, Parker was called in—and he picked the murderer out of 175 men at Camp Dix on the slender fact that only this man could clearly recall the events of Sept. 9, the day Gregor disappeared. It took months to com- plete the inquiry, but the’ man Par- ker: picked out eventually confessed. HOMES OF WEALTHY ARE FIRED UPON Chicago, Oct. 6.—Four direct hits on the home of Francis C.

Thirteen hundred candidates have entered the campaign for membership in the house of commons. Of these about. 425 are Conservatives. In round numbers labor has 400 candi- dates in the field, the Asquithian or Free Liberals 300, and Lloyd Georgian or National-Liberals 200. The little Welshman who lost his post as prime minister last week is vigorously striving to increase the number of candidates under his banner. To obtain an outright majority in the new parliament any one party would have to elect 315 candi- dates. The Conservatives and Laborities are the only two with enough candidates to obtain an in- dependent majority. Their organiza- tions have been whipped into far better *’shape “than those’ of the other parties. One of the main centers of in- terest in the whole election is Glas- gow, where the new prime minister, Andrew Bonar Law, has two op- ponents in his campaign for re- election. Former Bailie Mitchell is his opponent on the Labor ticket, and Sir George Paish is opposing him as a Free Liberal. Labor is making a very strong campaign among the larger popula- tion of Glasgow. At present only one of the fifteen constituencies in that city is represented by a Labor member, but the party has for a long while conducted earnest pro- paganda in the big industrial com- munities and it seems likely to ful- fill its hope of gaining a larger re- presentation. One of the candidates in Glasgow is the Communist John MacLean, whose term of 12 months in prison for sedition expired yesterday.

Prime Minister Bonar Law was unanimously adopted as the Con- servative and Unionist candidate for parliament from the central division of Glasgow. A resolution of confidence in him was passed. N. P.
