Y., Aug. 24. — (#) — Governor Roosevelt BANNON CONVICTION | IN HAVEN MURDERS UPHELD IN DECISION Supreme Court Rules Circum- stantial Evidence Justified Jury’s Verdict DENIES NEW TRIAL PLEA Action Recalls Case in Which Family Was Slain; Killer Was Lynched The chain of circumstantial evi- dence by which James Bannon was convicted of first-degree murder for complicity in the killing of six mem- bers of the Albert E. Haven family on their farm near Schafer in February, 1920, was Held by the North Dakota supreme court Tuesday to be suf- ticient to justify the verdict. Bannon, serving a life term in pri- son here, had sought a new trial on the ground of insufficiency of evi- dence. The higher court affirmed the action of Judge John C. Lowe who denied a new trial after a Divide county district court jury con- | victed Bannon June 27, 1931. Bannon’s son, Charles, confessed to killing the six Havens, and claim- ed he had no accomplices. He sub- sequently was hanged by a mob which teok him from the Schafer jail while his father, also a prisoner there, looked on. In a lengthy decision, written by Justice L. E. Birdzell, the high court outlined district court testimony aim- ed to show James Bannon was pres- ent at the Haven farm the day of Says Bannon Could | Have Got Off Easy Minot, N.

The offer is said to have been made by prosecutors when Bannon was in jail at Minot after his son had been lynched. It was rejected. During the trial at Crosby, the defense offered to plead guilty to the accessory charge but the pro- secution then refused to com- promise and Bannon subsequently was convicted, the story said, | GETS AIR-MINDED AT TWO MONTHS { Robert Michael Flaherty (in the basket) Is getting up In the world at an early age.

He decided Walter W. Westall, a Republican state senator from West- chester county, could not reply to questions regarding the origin of the Hofstadter leigslative committee. A procession of witnesses, headed by Mayor Walker's police commis- sioner, Edward P. Mulrooney, who City, filed in and out of the “hall of governors” Wednesday to add their bit to the mayor's defense agains! the ouster charges. Governor Roosevelt sought Wed- nesday to wind up the hearing on unfitness charges as speedily as pos- sible. As a court fight by the mayor threatened new delay, the governor decreed Tuesday there should be night sessions until the hearing is completed. The opening Wednesday was put off until afternoon to permit the ma- yor'’s attorney, John J. Curtin, to complete briefs he, must file at noon with Supreme Court Justice Ellis J. Staley. This has to do with Walker's attempt to restrain the governor from proceeding further with the hearing. On the record, as the hearing en- tered its ninth day, stood a reitera- tion of the statement by Paul Block, newspaper publisher, that friendship for Walker and nothing else prompt- ed him to establish a joint brokerage account from which the mayor drew $264,000 without investment. Block, L. F. Loree, railroad mag- naft, and Samuel H. Ungerleider, broker, were the mayor's principal witnesses Tuesday. Loree appeared as a member of the mayor's board of taxicab control and backed up testimony that the mayor once walked a beat in New York; “Counsel for appellant concede that the evidence is sufficient to support @ conviction as accessory after the fact, but forcefully argue that it is ‘insufficient to show he participated jin the homicide,” the supreme court! decision read. “The basic contention; jis that the eyidence does not show) James Bannon was present upon the Haven farm at the time of the mur- {der of Albert E.
