That the evidence of other crimes, consisting of sexual acts, including evidence of suggestive remarks thade | to other persons at times long ante- | cating, and under circumstances en- tirely different, from the charge against the defendant, and the read- ing to the jury of the obscene and suggestive questions asked of the de- fendant, was prejudicial error. State’s Answer $The state, which was represented by former States Attorney W. C. Green of Cass county, who prosecut- ed Gummer, contended’ that in all re= spects the trial was conducted ac- cording to law and rules of the court and evidence. The evidence on which the state convicted Gummer was de- clared by Mr. Green to be of cir- umstances so binding that the jury would not escape finding beyond a reasonable doubt that Gummer had killed Marie Wick. The court's ac- tion, in permitting testimony, too, was simply’ permitting the state to bring before the court all of the cir- cumstances which led to the conclu- sion of guilty, he said. Judge A. G, Burr of the district court, joined the supreme court in considering the f&ge in the place of Justice Sveinbjorn ‘Johnson, who. fag Attorney-General at the time of mmer’s conviction. The state charged that Gummer killed Marie Wick by atrangling, suffocating, ehoking her and striking her on the head with fire nozzle, in room 30 in the former Prescott hotel in Fargo on the night of June 5-6, 1921, Started From Minnesota Marie Wick, 18, had started out from her home in Crygla, Minn. a small town about 40 miles north of {hief River Falls to Pettibone, N.

Also that Gummer said he met the 1 a. m. Northern Pacifie train and later admitted he had not; that he first told officers he had not enter- ed the room after being unable to rouse her in the morning by ‘phone, but later said he had opened the door and looked in; that he first de- nied turning off the light at the west end of the hall on the second floor at about 4 o'clock but later admitzed he probably did it in the usual way. Gummer's trial was at Valley City, lasted several weeks and was post- poned several times by illness of Mr. Green. The defense contended that the jury, being allowed to separate during the interim, was apt to be prejudiced by newspaper accounts. District Judge Cooley presided. Gummer was sentenced to serve a life term inthe state prison near Bismarck, where he is now confined. Gummer maintained an alntost de- bonair attitude much of the time, end even.jn prison appeared not to worry, though maintaining his innocence. During his term in prison he was put to learning the printer's trade. Gummer was born and rearea in Mayville, N. D. Gummer Receives News of Highest Court Decision (Continueg from page 1) over the men. He has been buoyed up with the hope that the highest court. would grant him a new trial and he would go free. Prison authorities were silent when asked concerning Gummer and the supreme-court decision. They would say nothing of him and the court de- cision was no part of their business, | they said. There have been rumors floating out that Gummer is not the most tractable of prisoners. The firmness f his disposition—characterized as s when he was tried in Valley City—is said to have remain- ed. But one friena who visited him two months ago disagrees with these for gas or oil have been attempted in the state. One is the Des Lacs well near Minot, now at a depth of approximately 4000 feet. ‘This well had very promising showings, but due to water trouble and other drill- ing difficulties as wegl as lack. of finances, is apparently incomplete. The other test is the Davis No. 1, being drilled by the Prairie States Oil and Gas Company of Bismarck, | in Adams county. This well has had very encouraging showings of both’ oil and gas. Showings and indications of oil, parafine and gas was en- countered at frequent intervals down to the present depth of 1900 feet. At 504 feet the tesg had a flow of gas that the drillers had considerable trouble in controlling, This flow was never gauged but is estimated by of- of the company at several million feet. Many small showings appear on the drillers log, and at 1475 feet the Shannon sand was en- countered. This sand was found to be 19 feet thick with 5 1-2 feet of oil saturation. The oil was of a very high grade, and the production at this Yepth is estimated | at five barrels a day. The large sands, four in number, are expected between 2100 and 3200 feet. The of- ficials and drillers are confident that this test will prove a success, and ex- pect to get a good producing well in one of the lower sands. The tes- is being watched with a great deal of interest, and any one desiring furth- er information on this well should write the Prairie States Oil and Gas Company at Bismarck.
