Haven Home, Near Watford City Watford City, N..D., Dec. 2—(P)}— A mattress, considered:a possible clue in the mystery of the missing A. E. Haven family of six . persons, was found today in Cherry creek, two miles from the Haven farm home, The mattress was recovered from the frozen stream by deputy Sheriff Lawrence Warnes and was taken to Schafer for inspection to see whether it bears any trace of bloodstains. Deputy Sheriff Warnes said it would be several hours before the bed equippage could be thoroughly in- spected because of its water soaked arr aaie and the ice which clings 10 Men in Search About 10 men, led by Sheriff C.

The board took the matter under advisement after listening to presen- tation of the case by H. W. Swenson, Devils Lake, and Charles A. Lyche, Grand Forks. Swenson is Gummer’s brother-in-law. Outstanding in attorney’s argu- ments were claims that: The prose- cutor failed to account for two men in the hotel the night of the murder of the young Grygla, Minn., girl, who was attacked before she was slain. James Farrell, who the prosecution held was a fictitious person, has been Proven to exist. A. R. McKenzie, who registered at the hotel the night of the crime, was allowed to escape from custody and may have been able to provide the key to the murder if he had been retained. Feeling Was Intense Intense feeling throughout the state made it impossible for Gummer te obtain a fair and impartial trial. Germs found on linen in the girl’s toom showed her attacker to have been afflicted with a disease which Gummer did not have. For nearly three hours the two at- torneys presented an array of evi- dence in an effort to prove that the circumstantial chain of evidence by which Gummer was convicted became materially weakened on the face of the newly-discovered evidence. McKenzie was termed the missing link in the chain and the prosecution (Continued on page nine) FOUR HUNTERS DIE IN BURNING HOUSE hidden away.

Davis, Pennsylvania gained his seat in the senate today over a protest from the campaign funds investigat- ing committee. Before Davis could take the oath, Chairman Nye of the campaign funds committee, requested that he step aside pending further inquiry into his campaign expenditures, Nye put his request after the clerk had read Davis’ credentials and Sene ator Reed, Republican, Pennsylvania, had informed the senate that Mr. Davis was present and ready to be sworn, The senator-elect sat in the rear row listening intently. Even the annual message of Presi- dent Hoover was laid aside as the senate plunged into the dispute over the Davis seat, Rejected 58 to 27 A motion by Chairman Nye of the investigating committee to deny the oath to Davis was rejected by 58 to 27. Senator Reed, of Pennsylvania, had objected to Nye’s request that Davis step aside and insisted that “the rights of the senator-elect and of the state be observed.” Nye then pre- sented the resolution to deny the oath to Davis. Senator Recd countered by insist- ing the resolution lle over a day but Vice President Curtis upheld Nye. The roll call followed.
