a ~ PRR é a “RADIO REPORT SAY SANDINO HAS TAKEN CITY IN NICARAGUA * Cabo Gracias a Dios Reported Captured by Bandit in Un- confirmed Message New Orleans, La., April 4—(?)— An unconfirmed radio report received here Friday said the @andino bandits had taken the town of Cabo Gracias & Dios, Nicaragua, and had destroyed the United: States weather observa- tory there. Official confirmation of the report was lacking as the tropical raciio has not been in direct touch with Cabo Gracias a Dios since the bandits, on a previous raid, dismantled tho radio station here. Outlaws have been reported in the neighborhood of the town since their first attack west of Puerto Cuabezas, some 60 miles south of the cape. Ten refugees from Nicaragua and five from Honduras reached New Or- Jeans Friday’ aboard the steamshij ‘Contessa with accounts of great ex- citement prevailing in ports by their embarkment because of banditry and revolutionary outbreaks. W. G. Kost, business man of New Orleans, said the populace at Tela and Laceiba, Honduras, had been ap- prehensive for three weeks before the revolution started and when first re- ports of fighting were heard they re- moved their valuables and fled to safety. Mrs. Margaret Jones, Fayetteville, ‘Tenn., said she was forced to leave by her son, who feared for her safety. Many other women and children also left Laceiba, she said. Others aboard from Lavelba were Mrs. A. Newell and her baby, New Or- Jeans; Mrs. M. Yescas de Uribe, of Honduras, and Mrs. Marion Mouton and baby, New Orleans. The Nicaraguan refugees lists in- cluded the last three America: wom- en left in Puerto Cabezas and. Mrs. Francisco Bender, Panama, the nurse ‘who cared for the wounded after the Logtown battle. They said searching parties had found the bodies of the Americans slain in the Logtown massacre by Sandino’s bandits and they were buried on the spot. They said all of the bodies had been hacke@ by machettes except two and they were decapitated. They brought further details of the slaying of Pedro Blandon, leader of the Log- town bandits, and quoted A. Murphy, an Irishman who went into the bandit territory, as saying he and Pedro Perrone, successor to Blandon, had found Blandon’s body and burned it. A. R. Beardsley, a Canadian who killed Blandon, was said to have been warned by the bandits that they would “get” him but he remained in Puerto Cabezas as wharf superintend- ent. As the ship left, the refugees said, reports were received at tne port that 200 bandits were at Sachlin and another band of 72 close by. Some of the women aboard the Contessa contended they were, forced by their husbands and employers to leave the troubled areas against their own wills. Mrs. Edna Benson, Wash- ington, D. C., wife of a marine, said she “dared anybody” to refer to her as a refugee. She said she was not afraid of “any bandits.” Father of Lynched Youth Faces Trial On Slaying Charge (Continued from page one) 4f he occupied the farm he would be obliged to undergo some questioning by the sheriff and county judge of McKenzie county concerning ihe pe- culiar fact that the Havens had not been heard from since February, 1930. State's Attorney Taylor took up the examination of Langland by asking him where he was living Feb, 10, 1930, when, according to the confession of Charles Bannon, the Havens were slain. Langland said that he was liv- ing about six or seven miles from the Haven farm and that he had never visited at the Haven farm uatil he moved to the quarters about f0 rods from the scene of the massacre. “Were you and Charles Bannon peddling booze?” the state's attorney inquired. “No,” was the reply of the witness. “As a matter of fact, your chief source of income for three or four years has been the peddling ot booze, has it not?” the state's attorucy de- manded. “It has not,” Langland replied. Asks Surprise Question “Were you with Charles Bannon when he dug up the body of Mrs. Haven and the baby out of the barn?” the state's attorney asked. The witness, indicating surprise at the question, hesitated for a mcment, and replied: “I should say not.” Langland said that while he was there, Charles, from time to time. played the Haven’s player piana; On one occasion the witness.deciarcd, Mrs, Bannon, wife of the murder de- fendant and mother of the iynched youth, was at the farm when hc came there. This, he sdid, was a‘tcr the elder Bannon had departed tor the west, where he was subsequenily ar- rested and returned to North Dakota. ‘The prosecution Thursday showed «through several. witnesses that the dcsendant had téld of relations with the A. E. Haven family of six is peo at a time when they were dead. Bannon is specifically charged with the murder of Albert E. Haven, the chusband and father, on or about Feb. 10, 1930, when the other five mem- bers of the family also were Slain. Confessed He Shot Him Bannon’s son, Charles, aged 22, who confessed the murder of the entire family and who asserted his father | Bismarck ‘was innocent, was lynched by a mob who took him from the McKenzie county jail at Shafer, last~Jan. 27, tions of grand larceny, with the alleged dissipation Haven property cata iy several months ‘that Bannon lit on the Haven farm a4 the family was massacred, and the third was that of being an accessory after the fact, or OF ee guilty knowledge of the crime of murder. The defense attorney first eee he would demand a pri in 08 cach ‘of the Tew: chara but jiater said it was likely hearings Would be waived. Immediately after the murder hear- ing was recessed Thursday Bannon, escorted by the national guardsmen, was taken from Alexander to the Wil- ams county jail at Williston to ares the night. it the conclusion of the hearing Binhon was to be returned to the Ward county jail at Minot for safe- keeping, where he has been since his son was lynched. No term of district court is scheduled in McKenzie coun- ty until sri June. 12 Witnesses Testify Nine witnesses testified Thursday for the prosecution and three had been on the stand for the defense when the hearing was recessed until Friday to await arrival of another de- fense witness who had gone to Minot. Some of the prosecution witnesses told of conversations with the elder AL COMMISSION ON GRAIN TRADING. | VISTING CHICAGO Chairman n Says It Is Not It Is Not Safe to Predict When Depression Will Be Ended — Minneapolis, April 24.—(#)—After spending a day studying the Minne- apolis phase of grain futures trading, members of the Canadian Royal com- mission investigating this business were in Chicago Friday. Giving his view of current problems to 400 business men at a luncheon Thursday, Sir Josiah Stamp, London, commission chairman, seid “It is not safe to predict when the swing up- ward from depression will begin.” Need of treating the situation from a world viewpoint was stressed by Sir Josiah, who said pride and po- litical rivalry block international har- World economic problems funda- Bannon during 1930 after the mur-| mentally are the same as in the past ders had taken place but before they | and are complicated by all manner of were revealed in December of the same year, in which they quoted the defendant as having told them the Havens had gone to Oregon. The three defense witnesses were Oge O. Ness, Lawrence McMaster, and Julius Hartel, all living in the community where the Bannons and Havens had resided. Both Ness and McMaster said that so far as they know, as the questions were phrased by the defendant's attorney, that “Mr. Bannon was and is a perfect gentleman.” Hartel, an 18-year-old boy, told of working for Charles Bannon on the Haven farm in November, 1930, and Gave the names of several different persons who came there to see Charles. The defense attorney told newspa- permen that he was seeking to obtain names by which an _ investigation could be made to determine whether these persons had had anything to do with the case. Mrs, Bannon joined her husband during the proceedings and interest. attached to her coming because of her recent declarations to acquaintances in McKenzie county that “the real murderers” would be revealed at her husband’s' hearing. Jacobsen said his client would not be called to the stand at the pre- liminary hearing, and he said he did not know for sure whether Mrs. Ban- non would take the stand. Asks Surprise Question In the questioning of two prosecu- tion witnesses, who had said that Haven's death was due to a fractured skull caused by a blow from a blunt or heavy instrument, the defense at- torney surprised the prosecution by asking whether it wasn’t possible the kick of a horse could have caused the death, The state's attorney interjected a Geclaration that if “you can prove a horse kicked him and also buried him in a cowshed, I'll dismiss this lawsuit.” Two hundred spectators laughed. The bodies of the Havens, after they were slain, were interred in a cowbarn on their farm, the burial having becn made by Charles, ac- cording to his confession. The ex- ception to the burial in the farm was that of a six-weeks-old baby who was buried in a nearby pile of refuse. Crowds of curious persons crowded about Bannon during the court re- cesses, while he sat or stood sur- rounded by guardsmen with bayonet- ed rifles and loaded sidearms, but no attempt was made to molest him. During the hearing he sat drum- ming upon a table with ‘a pencil, sometimes smiling at the remarks of witnesses or exchanging words with the attorneys. He greeted his wife with @ smile and they clasped hands as she sat down beside him. Liquor Law Violator Receives Jail Term Ray Gilman, Bismarck, was sen- tenced to four months in jail and fined $200 and costs here Friday when. he plegded guilty to engaging in the liquor traffic. He was sentenced by Judge R. G. McFarland, Jamestown. Commercial Caravan Arrives in Bismarck}, A caravan of nine new commercial truck body types of the Ford auto- mobile arrived in Bismarck Thursday as part of a program inaugurating the 53 new commercial bodies in the 1931 Ford line. The caravan is in charge of R. M. Stoudt, who is affiliated with the co! department of the Ford motor company branch at Fargo. Stoudt is assisted by H. D. Lawless, Fargo. The: group is one of 35 cara- vans traveling through the United States with the purpose of acquaint- ing the public with Ford commercial truck bodies, Each of the caravans will travel approximately 5,000 miles, according to Stoudt.

Mental Hygiene Clinic Holds Two-Day Study public ‘and it 1s because of this occurrence | urday. Haven had died trom blows upon the skull, whereas Charles, in his con- tession, had said that he shot Haven. Indicative of the prosecution’s de- termination to send Bannon to the penitentiary, if the murder charge thould fail, was the filing of three new criminal charges against the gray-haired man. Two were accusa- new and puzzling factors, he said. “No one country or industry is to blame for the world’s present plight, but it could have been prevented had there been less greed, a wider knowil- edge and greater cooperation among the nations. And these will make possible the world’s return to normal prosperity. Without them there can be no worthwhile recovery.” Sir Josiah came to Minneapolis from Winnipeg. With him were two members of the commission, Sanford Evans and Chief Justice J. T. Brown of the King’s bench of Saskatchewan; and three assistants. ‘The commissioners’ study of futures trading in Minneapolis took the form of a round table conference of grain men, millers, marketing experts and economists of the Univeristy of Min- nesota and the Chamber of Com- merce.
