THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1938 HANSON APPOINTED LAND COMMISSIONER! = Steele Man Given Post Over Candidate Indorsed by Farmers Union . B. H. Hanson of Steele, appointed state land commissioner Wednesday, took office Friday. His appointment was by a three-to- | two vote of the board of university, and school lands, with Gov. Langer, Attorney General P. O. Sathre and State Auditor Berta Baker casting their ballots for him. D. J. Beakey, Williston, whose ap- | pointment was urged by C. C. Talbott, | president, and E. E. Greene, secretary, | of the Farmers Union, received the support of Secretary of State Robert Byrne and Superintendent of Public Instruction Arthur E. Thompson. Eighteen names were listed as can- @idates for the position when the board met to choose a successor to Ludvig Pederson, who resigned to be- come manager of the state mill and elevator. Before taking a vote the field was narrowed to four candidates -Theodore Martell of Carson, Thomas Devaney, deputy land commissioner, | Hanson and Beakey. On the first ballot the vote was three for Hanson and two for Beakey. Hanson has been a farmer near Steele and has been an implement dealer. He was treasurer of Kidder county for two terms a number of years ago. He homesteaded near Steele 30 years and has farmed there since. Hanson succeeds Ludvig Pederson, who resigned to accept appointment as manager of the state mill and ele- vator, Chicago Bear Eleven In Favorable Position | Chicago, Dec. 1—(4)—The Chicago Bears Friday were in possession of at least a tie for the western division title in the National Professional Football League, and needed only a) tle in either of their next two games | to oppose the New York Giants in the | championship playoff. The 1932 champions Thursday gave | the Chicago Cardinals their regular ‘Thanksgiving Day beating, 22 to 6. The Giants with the eastern leader- ship safely stowed away, defeated Brooklyn 10 to 0 in the only other game on the holiday program. The Bears meet Portsmouth Sun- Gay and tackle Green Bay at Chi- cago a week later. Harry Newman's passes and run- ning for the New York Giants put the ball on Brooklyn's 10-yard stripe! in the third period and Ken Strong place-kicked for three points. cota: ewhat unsettled tonight and Saturday, colder west and north portions to- night “pay east and central por- tions Saturday.

CONTINUED Willie Sharkey Is Found Dead in Cell In Jail ail at St. Paul necktie, which had be been given him by his brother to wear during’ the trial. Sharkey’s feet were about a foot from the floor when he was found. Appeared Dared at Trial Sharkey, listed on police records as @ chauffeur by profession, appeared dazed through most of the trial here, McMeekin said. Twice he created a stir, once by rising and again by at- tempting to rise. Some persons in the room believed he muttered something about “getting those guns” when he arose, while others said they believed he thought @ recess had been declared. Court attaches said that, if he was evidence he took a circuitous route toward them, and in addition pointed ; out they were not loaded. Guards immediately forced him into his seat and more were stationed about the court room. Later Sharkey tried to rise, but guards seized him before he could do so. McMeekin said, that during the trial he told the court that defense counsel “would not be responsible” for Shar- key due to his mental condition and asked an examination. “At no time did we intend to invoke that point in our defense but we felt there was something wrong with him mentally,” McMeekin said. “He had been going that way right along and he was getting worse every day. He wouldn’t even talk to us. He would keep making crazy remarks all the time. He repeatedly talked about en- trapment and referred to a woman's club building across the street from the jail as ‘another padded cell.’” McMeekin said Sharkey refused to talk to the other defendants and that “we didn’t know what his next move ‘was going to be.” Would Not Be Photographed Sharkey after the acquittal Tuesday refused to allow himself to be photo- graphed with the others until after a i 45-minute conference with Touhy. “You boys are crazy getting your- | selves ‘mugged’ like this,” he told them, are you losing your brains?” One ‘attorney said Sharkey believed | he had been “double crossed” by two other defendants and that he refused to have anything to do with them here. He asserted McFadden wanted to hire separate counsel for himself and Sharkey because the latter lacked funds, but that Touhy overruled this plan and Sharkey took exception. No defense was offered for Sharkey dur- | ing the trial and, like the other de- fendants, he did not take the stand. ‘The federal government, which had HIDES JACK RABBIT, SKUNK, WEASEL, MINK, BADGER, RACCOON, FOX, COYOTE and RABBIT SKINS wanted.

Keenan, provera attorney general, that it would waive claim to the men and allow their trial in Chicago on state charges based on the Factor seizure. Mail robbery indictments against the men were based on a $35,000 depot holdup in Minneapolis last January. CLAIM SHARKEY FEARED PUNISHMENT FOR CRIME Chicago, Dec, 1—(#)—Willie Shar- key, found hanged in his cell in St. Paul Friday, had at least four serious charges to beat before he could hope tor freedom, He faced trial in Chicago as one of the kidnapers of John Factor. He was wanted in Nebraska for @ 1932 bank robbery. Minnesota accused him of a mail robbery last January, and a charge of illegally transport Cook county authorities also in- tended to question’ him in connection with a holdup murder at The Dells, Suburban road house. “Fear of punishment for his crimes probably drove Sharkey insane and caused him to commit suicide,” Melvin H. Purvis, chief of the division of in- vestigation of the United States de- partment of justice in Chicago, said. Purvis disclosed Sharkey had been @ “strong-arm man” for the Touhy gang for many years and that he was suspected of having extorted money from keepers of gambling and liquor resorts. He also operated a saloon in the gang's territory on the northwest side of Chicago. CORRECTING AN OVERSIGHT Information that C. A. Anderson of Moffit was a brother of Mrs. Edward Adams, who died recently, was re- ceived by The Tribune. News stories regarding the death of Mrs. Adams had failed to list him among the sur- vivors.
