* a, ee “with the WITNESS’ PARADE | OFF TO WASHBURN _ POR POTTER'S TRIAL Second Murder Trial Probably Will Begin Next Monday, Cameron Says ASKS EXPENSES 38 Witneses in First Trial Ex- pected to Be Called to Second Trial A caravan of witnesses carly next week will set out for Washburn, Mc- Lean county, for the second trial of Raymond E. Potter, charged with first degree murder. The trial probably will begin next Monday and Judge Fred Jansonius, Bismarck, will preside at the trial, it ‘was announced today by Scott Cam- eron, defense counsel. A jury disagreed in the first trial of Potter in Burleigh county district court last December. The charge against Potter is an outgrowth of the affairs surrounding the death of Oliver Webb in Bismarck last fall. ‘Webb was shot with a shotgun in front of the Potter home late Oct. 27 and died early on the morning of Oct. 28. Jury Claimed Even Denial that the jury stood 9 to 3 in the first trial was made by Cam- eron, the defense counsel, claiming that the jury was evenly divided for conviction and acquittal. Those interested in the case this week are speculating as to whether or not the state will introguce new testimony in the trial next week. At- torneys have no announcements to make, except that the defense will have a few more witnesses. In the first trial the ‘state called 23 witnesses and the defense 15. The defense, however, called some of the state’s witnesses to the stand for examination. Practically all of the witnesses in the first trial will be called for the second trial, it is believed. The defense is awaiting eagerly the deci- sion of the court regarding the pay- ment of expenses for defense witness- es. The defendant has asked the county to pay the expenses. Defense Resisted Change A change of venue to McLean coun- ty was ordered by Judge McFarland following a motion by the state. The defense vigorously resisted the mo- tion. State witnesses in the first trial, some of whom also were called by the defense, were Dr. Larson, Dr. W. D. Pierce, Dr. E. P. Quain, E. J. Gobel, P. B. Webb, L. E.

Mott, of New York, financial authority, to- day told the 10th anniversary con- vention of the national federation of business and professional women's clubs. “Upon proper spending depends the success or failure of the American family life,” she said. “Therefore it can easily be seen what an important position women have, regardless of whether they are housewives spend- ing the family income or business women purchasing with their own earnings.” WESTERN FAIRWAYS HEAVY AFTER RAINS Followers Eager to See Ev- ans Cut Down Total; One- Armed Golfer Shines Mission Hills, Kansas City, July 9. —(®)—Intermittent rains through the night made the fairways heayy and cut short many sizzling drives in the second qualifying round of the thir- tieth annual western amateur golf tournament here today. morning.
