His attorney filed a! double-barreled affidavit of prej- udice and the case was then trans- ferred to Mandan. When the case cume up here in No-| vember, Zorn asked an extension of; time because of illness and a serious) operation he was about to undergo. Up to this month’ he had been deter- mined to plead not guilty but after a; conference with officials changed his, plea to guilty. u In passing sentence, the court took into consideration his ill health and the operation he had recently under- gone.

Covered Long Period | Zorn, before coming to Golden Val-j ley, had been connected with banks in Volga and Beulah. His pecula-! tions, extending over a long period! of time, were not discovered until, the state bank examiner became suspicious about the large number of cash items listed in his monthly state- ment. A deputy examiner was sent to Golden Valley and then discovered the $7,000 shortage. Zorn had not) been in financial need but was de- “seribed by former State’s Attorney David Schwartz as a man who had a had no trouble making money before he entered the banking business. Mr. Schwartz, whose term as Mer- cer county state’s attorney expired in January, was appointed by the board of county commissioners to prosecute this case to its conclusion. ' Sheriff Henry Handtmann of Mor-, ton county took Zorn to the peniten- tiary this morning. Rovig Is Named Vice President of State | Hardware Association | J. H.
