TH E BISMARCK TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, MAY 16, 1931 U. §. WOMAN WILL FACE TRIAL SOON Mrs. Nixon-Nirdlinger Accused of Murdering Husband in France Last March Nice, France, May 16.—(P)—, 2 dict of “Murder with excuse aoe ocation” will be asked by the \rose- cution when Charlotte Nixon-Nird- linger, formerly of St. Louis, Mo. goes on trial next Wednesday for shooting her husband in their villa here last March, it was reported Sat- urday. Conviction would carry a maximum prison sentence of five years and a minimum of two years, This version of the prosecution's intentions is believed to have upset the defense plans considerably, for the woman's attorneys had expected the prosecutor would demand at least five years solitary confinement, in which case they expected an ac- quittal. The panel from which the jury will be drawn is composed mostly of busi- ness men and is an exceptionally high class group. Mrs. Nixon-Nirdlinger killed Fred G. Nixon-Nirdlinger, Philadelphia theatrical magnate, on March 11. There were no witnesses and his sons by a former marriage refused to pros- ecute. Although the defense has not dis- closed details of its plans, it is gen- erally expected they will enter a plea of sel:-defense. AERIAL MANEUVERS SEEN AS IMPORTANT General MacArthur Says Pro- gram Necessary to Prepare for Air Attacks Washington, May 16.—()—The war department views the aerial maneu- ver to be staged over midwest and eastern coast cities as of great mili- tary importance. The air corps has 672 planes con- centrated at Dayton, Ohio, for its demonstration of aerial defense. Although some protests have been received from pacifist and commu- nist organizations and a few citizens in Boston, New York and Baltimore, general Douglas MacArthur, chief of staff, has expressed belief that the maneuvers are necessary that the air corps may become apprised of the difficulties of defending these cities in time of war. Many tactical prob- lems are to be worked out. Only one change in the plans for the maneuvers has been made. The flight of a large squadron of bomb- ing planes over New York next Friday night has been called off, General MacArthur explained, because some of the same flyers are scheduled to participate in strenuous flights the following day. He said the flying was not postponed because of pro- tests. Gas Thieves Caught After Thrilling Race Two Bismarck youths were arraign- ed in police court Saturday afternoon Me answer charges of stealing gaso- ine. According to C. J. Martineson, chief cf police, the pair were arrested Sat- urday morning as a result of infor- mation gained by police after a race through the streets Friday night.

Discovered, the pair fled in an automobile park- ed a few feet away. Martineson gave chase in a car driven by Joe Mc- Clusky. Driving at high speed and without lights the driver of the flee- ing car finally lost control of the machine, which careened against the curb. One of the wheels was snapped off. The thieves managed to make their escape under the cover of darkness but were apprehended Saturday anorning. To Auction Bulls At Dickinson Sale | Dickinson, N.
