THREE INDUSTRIES WILL BE LAUNCHED AT STATE PRISON Plans Made for Manufacture of License Tags, Coffins, Leather Goods in addition to the $192,106.20 ap- propriation for general maintenance ‘and miscellaneous expenses for the state penitentiary, three new laws providing for establishment of indus- tries to manufacture coffins, auto license plates and road signs and a tannery plant at the prison with a total appropriation of $22,000 become effective Saturday. Most important of the three indus- tries, over which the board of admin- istration is given supervision, is that of the manufacture of auto license plates and road signs for which the last legislature appropriated $18,000 to purchase equipment and materials. Appropriations of $2,000 each were made for the manufacture of coffins and the establishment of a tannery. Preliminary steps taken by the board of administration in anticipa- tion of the laws going into effect Sat- urday include an investigation at the penitentiary to determine if there were inmates with experience in these activities. It was learned that coffin labor could be provided and that some inmates had some experi- ence in tanning. Sufficient space is available for the establishment of the auto license tag plant. Nelson Sauvain, chairman of the board, said there is no lack of labor for inmates at this time. As for license-manufacture equipment, he said, advertisements for bids would have to be made before such equip- ment is purchased. The licensing measure authorizes ‘and empowers employment of prison labor, giving the board of administra- tion power to fix the price to the mo- tor vehicle registration department and the highway department and to the counties and municipalities for tags. ‘While two laws direct the board of administration to establish the cof- fin and tannery plant, the third pro- vides for establishment of the license tag plant “provided that in the judg- ment of the board of administration, together with the governor, it is war- CONTINUED from page one’ 11 Hours Required To Reach Decision In District Court ographer of the industrial commission since 1920, corroborated Gammons’ story, that he had been authorized to make withdrawals of interest for payment of special claims by resolu- tions signed by Former Governor George F. Shafer, then attorney gen- eral, and Former Commissioner of Agriculture and Labor Joseph A. Kit- chen, then members of the three- man fndustrial commission. Gammons testified that he had ‘used the interest withdrawals to pay the salary of Mrs. Gammons for the work she did between July 1, 1928, and Oct. 31, 1929, in establishing a new bookkeeping set-up for the sol- diers’ bonus, interest and retirement Shafer Contradicts Story Shafer, however, as a state's wit- ness, said he could not recall that he had ever signed a resolution atithoriz- ing the employment of Mrs. Gam- mons nor that he had signed resolu- tions authorizing interest withdraw- els for her payment. Former Governor Walter J. Mad- dock, member of the industrial com- mission for part of the time, testi- fed about the same. Other state witnesses included Dep- ‘uty Secretary of State Charles Liess- man; Theodore W. Sette, George W. Janda, William H. Bement, P. H. But- ler and A. C. Brainerd, all of the Bank: of North Dakota; and L. P. Warren and F. E. Shepard of the First National Bank. Included in the jury were four| farmers, two farmers’ wives, one mer- chant, one retired man, one seam- stress, one salesman, one wife of a clerk living in the city and one engi- neer. They were W. A. Falconer, Mrs. Celia Schloemer, Frank E. An- drist, Mrs. Grover Riggs and Samuel Helvick, all of Bismarck; J. A. Heim- bach and Mrs. Gertrude Scallon of Wing; P. C. Tompt of Driscoll; Ralph Falkenstein of Baldwin; Victor Koski of Atena; Mrs. Tom Morris of Wilton and James A. Brown of Missouri township. Kitchen, Mulloy Not Ca§ed Kitchen and James Mulloy, present: secretary of the industrial commis- ion, who were interested auditors throughout most of the testimony, Were not called to the witness stand. Judge Jansonius completed his in- structions to the jurors at 5:45 o'clock Friday afternoon, following three hours of argument by prosecution nd defense counsel. frauded the state of any money. The prosecution termed Gammons’ testi- tmony a “wholecloth of lies.” In his charge to the jury, Judge Jansonius said if the jurors found Gammons appropriated the $600 and avowedly and under be- good faith that he had a right receive and retain same,” he not be guilty of the charge, even though he had “no legal rig! receive and retain such monies.” ‘was called by Judge Jan- Ele i : [ “ae, EGE i te aen a set forth a Persons in its employ, salary (and fund from which drawn.

Gronna added it was unlaw- ful to deposit state funds in private accounts, declaring Gammons’ ac- count listed as “John Gammons, sec- retary,” in the First National Bank, was used “to misappropriate and em- bezzle state funds.” Gronna told the jury the testimony showed no mention was made of Mrs.‘ Gammons' salary in the industrial commission’s annual report, and that! “omission of these expense items; showed an intentional omission.” | ‘The evidence, he said, that Gam- mons placed interest accumulations) in his personal account, destruction of | the cancelled checks, and failure to| include items in the annual report indicated intent to embezzle. Sullivan followed Gronna, terming the evidence presented by the state as “nothing but circumstantial.” Payment of $600 to Mrs. Gammons for special work was done in good faith, Sullivan said. Hits Shafer Testimony He referred to Shafer's testimony, declaring that under cross-examina-| tion “there were a lot of things Sha-; fer didn’t know.” Sullivan told the jury Shafer had, given the prosecution “many leads,” adding “George is just like all other politicians whenever any heat arrives in any spot.” He referred to testimony by Mr. and Mrs. Gammons of ledgers in the industrial commission office, charging the state failed to put on the stand James Mulloy, who succeeded Gam- mons as secretary, to testify as to existence of these records. Sullivan declared the state’s case charges an embezzlement that took place after the capitol building fire which oc- curred Dec. 28, 1930. Testimony was given the records made up prior to the fire had been destroyed. “Where's Jimmy Mulloy?” Sullivan shouted. “Lét us talk with him for a while. When they don’t put him on the stand, you can come to your own con- clusion.” Sullivan charged the state failed to deny the resolutions referred to in the trial were not in the industrial) commission records. “They were there when Gammons. left,” Sullivan said. “Where are they now and why haven't we got them?” Cameron, continuing with defense arguments, said Gammons. in 10 hours on the stand, had given testi- mony “clearly, unhesitatingly and free and correct.” “No individual,” he said, “could fabricate a story and stand up for 10 hours. The truth can stand those attacks.” ‘Hostile to Gammons’ He said Shafer was obviously hos- tile to Gammons, that he had testi-| Darl fied he talked to Gammons about the advisability of preparing a soldiers’ bonus record for which the defense said Mrs. Gammons was employed by the commission. Cameron charged Shafer gave con- tradictory testimony. Shafer testi- fled Thursday, Cameron said, that he knew nothing about the $20,000 sol- diers’ history fund being placed on certificate of deposit, and testified Friday under direct examination he remembered and advised about it. Closing for the state, Higgins re- ferred to Gammons as “a liar by the clock, the record and his own testi- mony.” Referring to a charge the state feared to put Mulloy on the stand, Higgins declared the defense could have subpoenaed the industrial com-, mission records. He said if Mulloy had been put on the stand, the prosecution would have been accused of seeking to “trump; up” a case to give Mulloy a name. Mulloy signed the complaint against’ Gammons. Higgins denied Shafer’s testimony was contradictory. Higgins declared the evidence showed Gammons had taken $13,000 from interest accumu- lation and the money “went into his Personal account for some under- handed purpose.” He said if resolu- tions were ever passed by the indus- trial commission authorizing with- drawal of interest and its use for ex- Penses they were “slipped in” the! minute book in 1928 “because Gam- mons then was $13,000 short.” He declared the defense failed to call Kitchen to testify to whether resolutions were passed.
