The plaintiff contends that the purported acceptance of the Hag- gart company’s bid by the Burleigh county commissioners is illegal and that if the work is completed and the defendants proceed to pay the company, the payment would be il- legal and unlawful and would con- stitute an unlawful and illegal diver- sion of public funds. Hearing At Jamestown The matter is stipulated for hear- ing before Judge Coffey at James- town because of the fact that both Judge Fred Jansonius of Burleigh county and Judge Berry of Morton county are out of their respective jurisdictions at the present time.

LAWYERS OF MINOT UNDER for dy INDICTMENTS, Federal Grand Jury Charges Them With Subornation of Perjury D., Oct. 22.—(P)—An- at the federal grand jury, recently in session in Fargo, had‘ returned indictments charging subornation of perjury against At- orneys Dudley L. Nash and J. J. Tw ford of Minot was made today. The indictments, it is understood, are based upon alleged confessions by one Brown and one Dewitt, defend- ant and witness, respectively, in a trial involving the robbery Carpio, N. D., postoffice. Brown, it seems, was convicted notwithstanding the testimony offe ed by Dewitt to the effect that he, D witt, was a hotel clerk in Minneapolis and had been with Brown in Minne- apolis at the time of the Carpio post office robbery. Such, also, Brown's contention, Confessions Obtained Shortly after Brown’s conviction, postal officials obtained a purported Fargo, N. nouncement, th ssion from Dewitt to the effect | s story was ‘untrue, and that the Minot attorneys, Messrs. Nash and Twiford, had worked with him in’ preparing the story for presentation in court. Mr. Nash was Brown's at- torney, while Mr. Twiford did not appear as an attorney of record in the case. Five or six weeks ago a confession, similar to that alleged to have been made by Dewitt, tained from Brown. “NOTHING TO THE CHARGE,” NASH SAYS Minot, N. D., Oct. 22.—(#)—“There is absolutely nothing to the charge embodied in the action of the grand jury,” declared Attorney Dudley Nash today. ‘The testimony presented in the Brown case was exactly the story brought to me by the witnesse: a matter of fact when this matter opened it will be seen that it is the aftermath of an unsuccessful attempt on the part of a self-confessed crim- inal to blackmail me, I repeat there is absolutely nothing to the charge which, by the way, one grand jury previously had refused to take action ol As n. : “As for Mr. Twiford, he was in no way connected either directly or in- directly with the matter at issue. He was not retained and is in every re- spect an innocent bystander.” SEEING AMERICA Washington.—Two Chicago youths bought a flivver for $55 and toured 5000 miles through 20 states with practically no expense.
