ot AE __THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1981 PRELIMINARY STEPS IN BATTLE FOR NEW BANNON TRIAL TAKEN Man in State Penitentiary De- nies Complicity in Murder of Haven Family Preliminary legal steps in a pro- posed appeal to the state supreme court have been completed by coun- sel for J2mes F. Bannon, serving a life term in prison here as the result of his conviction of complicity in the murder of the six members of the A. E. Haven family on their farm near Schafer. Notice of appeal has been served on Attorney General James Morris, and filing of the appeal in the su- preme court will take place as soon as the transcript of the records of the case are completed. New Trial Motion Denied A motion for a new trial was de- nied in the district court at Crosby where Bannon was convicted June 28. Counsel for Bannon is asking for a new trial on the grounds that there was insufficient evider:> to justify the verdict, that the verdict is unlawful, and that the verdict “is clearly against the evidence.” Morris said that he personally would aid in opposing the appeal for a new trial when the case is tried in the supreme court. Thomas Cra- ven, Williston, who, as a special as- sistant attorney general, aided State's Attorney J. S. Taylor prosecute the action at Crosby, also will be called’ on to oppose the action, Morris said. E. J. Mclilraith, Crosby, and W. A. Jacobson, Watford City, are Ban- on’s counsel. 7 Bannon was brought to trial after his son, Charles, was lynched by a mob that stormed the jail in which the father and son were held at Schafer. The father was not mo- Tested. Slain About Feb. 10 The state charged in their case against James Bannon that the Ha- vens were slain on their farm about Feb. 10, 1930. Bannon and his son took over the farm at about that time, telling neighbors the Havens had gone to Oregon. Late in 1930, Charles was suspect- ed and subsequently confessed his guilt, but absolved his father. The 22-year-old farm boy steadfastly maintained that he alone was re- sponsible for the deaths of Mr. and) Mrs. Haven and their four children. In the meantime, the elder Ban- non had left for Oregon. He later was arrested and returned to North Dakota on charges of murder. The state claimed Bannon aided in the crime, while defense contended that, the son’s confession was sufficient to| indicate Bannon’s innocence. Cooperstown Man Is Asphyxiated in Sewer Cooperstown, N. D., Nov. 11—()— Ragnvold Hanson, 43, for the last eight years Cooperstown street com- missioner, was asphyxiated Tuesday by carbon monixde gas while repair- ing a sewer main. With Gus Perchert, an assistant, he had gone to a manhole about 2% miles southeast of the city to repair pumps sending city sewage to a cou- Tee. The assistant saw Hanson for the last time about 3 p.m. Perchert was operating pumps about 30 rods from the manhole. After returning home about 6 p. m. Perchert said he began to think Han- son’s long stay in the manhole pe- euliar and reported the incident in Cooperstown. A party was organized and the body was found in the bottom of the manhole. Dr. L, Almklov, coroner here, said death was due to monoxide gas pois- oning. He announced an inquest would be held Wednesday. Hanson was a member of the local American Legion post and the Sons of Norway lodge. An aunt, Mrs. Ole Overmoen, resides here. He was born in Norway. 19 Cases of Disease Reported in Bismarck Nineteen cases of communicable diseases were reported in Bismarck during October, according to the monthly report prepared by the state department of health.

If inquiry went deeper, it would reveal that Camels are the natural moisture cigarette. That’s important, because in handling fine tobaccos, when you process out natural moisture, you sacrifice freshness and flavor too. Camel smokers needn’t worry about that, because Camels are blended of fine Turkish and mild Domestic tobaccos that are R. J.
