Despite his failure to pay the remaining 12 installments on his pledge, he is still working as a federal employe, French explained. French testified he conferred with R. A. Kinzer, one of the defendants, and then secretary of the federal re- lief committee, after he (French) had first been approached by a solicitor. butions from federal employes. McDonald Solicited Him French testified Harold McDonald, “Leader” solicitor, came to him in the relief administration supply offices, about July 1, 1933. “He asked me if I'd ever had the Proposition put up to me,” French explained. “I asked him ‘what pro- He said ‘it is your pledge of five pef cent of your salary toward the Non- Partisan ‘Leader’, so that the paper can be distributed, in order that the people can learn and know the truth.” “He wanted me to sign the pledge giving five per cent of my salary,” French testified “but I said I wanted to take it up with Kinzer first.” McDonald returned in the afternoon of the same day, French testified, but in the meantime French, according to his testimony, had conferred with other employes and with Kinzer. “Kinzer stated no pressure would be given from that office,” French related, fi When McDonld returned French and he talked alone, the witness tes- tified. “He gave me the pledge and I sign- ed it,” French explained. “He show- one year—12 checks—payable monthly. Each was for four dollars. I signed the checks.” “Did you pay any of them?” Dis- trict Attorney P. W. Lanier asked. Paid Three Installments “Three of ‘em,” French replied, “Where did you get the money to make the payments?” Lanier inquir- “Out of my salary,” French said. “Out of federal relicf employment money?” “Yes,” French said he received his salary checks from Kinzer, who sign> ed them. French said the checks he gave Mc- Donald were post-dated and were drawn on the Bank of North Dakota, although he had no bank account. The first check was dated September 1, 1933. Some of them he wrote him- self, French said, and some were writ- ten by McDonald. “Did you tell him to bring them?” Lanter queried. “I did not,” answered French. The witness identified three checks as those he had paid. Payment of the first check was made to Joseph Kinzer, son of R. A. Kinzer, and a defendant. Young Kinzer was an employe of, the relief administration. Payment of the first check was made on the second floor of the federal building, French said. The second check came due October 1, 1933, French testified, and was like- wise paid to the younger Kinzer. “Where did you make that pay- ment?” Lanier asked. “I made it in this room,” French answered. Prior to the trial, the courtroom had been used as an office for federal emergency relief em- ployes. One other payment was made by him to young Kinzer in what is now the courtroom in which the trial is being conducted, French said. After he had made three payments, French said he decided to make no more. Needed Christmas Money “why didn’t you pay the rest of the checks?” Lanier asked. “Well, Christmas was coming on and it was the first Christmas I'd had in three or four years and I wanted to make it a good one.” French testified he had been with- out work for three years. He is mar- ried and has a wife and child. French said when he first began to work he received $80 monthly, and now re- ceives $115. Formerly, he lived at Beulah, N. D. French said he re- ceived his job from the elder Kin- zer. Judge A. M. Christianson, admin- istrator of the federal relief forces, issued an order telling employes to make no political contributions, French testified. This added to his determination to make no further contributions, French said. “Were you interested in “The Lead- er’2” Lanier sought, “I was interested in my ob,” French replied, succintly. George Thorp, defense counsel, be- gan his cross-examination with the question: “You're still working there, aren't you?” to which French answered. “yes,” Sold One Subscription “Did you ever read the newspapers about these subscriptions?” Thorp asked. “Did it make you scared?” “It did.” LISTEN TONIGHT World’s Greatest All-Star Radio Broadcast He said Kinzer told him “no pressure will come from this office.” On cross-examination, Thorp em- phasized that Rychman was influenc- ed to pledge part of his salary to “The Leader” because he feared loss of his job as a result of what he had read in what Thorp referred to as “opposi- tion newspapers.” Government witnesses also testified: That Langer's handwriting appeared in the body of a check which was one of @ number signed in blank by Oscar E.

Of the subscriptions which he re- ceived after he had signed the pledge, French said he “sold one.” Twenty subscriptions he turned back to “The Leader” office, French explained. “Well, you quit paying.” Thorp went on “but your job went on just the same, didn’t it?” “It did.” French admitted.

Those were the words I used.” Ewing testified he told the governor of complaints received that Kinser had used his office in the relief ad- niinistration “to give political pref- erence.” ‘Warned Geverner | “I told the governor of the reports of two and five per cent payments,” Ewing said, “and I said to the gov- neal ‘you know governor, that can’t Asked by Lanier why he saw the governor instead of tle committee, ir, the beginning, Ewing replied, “be- cause Kinzer had been appointed by count.” His testimony was halted temporarily, to give the government an opportunity of sorting deposit slips, many scores of which the gov- ernment sought to introduce as evi- dence, Two ‘Leader’ Accounts Both accounts were subject to withdrawal on Erickson’s signature, Stangler said. First deposit in the “advertising account” was made August 9, 1933, and the last deposit April 6, 1934, Stangler testified. First deposit. “regular account” was made May 1, 1933, and the last, April 6, 1934. A cancelled cashier's check was in- troduced. Of this, Stangler said he had talked to one of the officers of the bank who told him “Erickson came to purchase the check.” A check on “The Leader” account was given for the cashier’s check, which had been cancelled, according to Stangler’s testimony. the governor, and not the committee, ay I understood it.” ‘ During his stay, however, said, he saw the committee also. Ewing submitted to cross-examina- tion by Thorp. “You say Kinzer was appointed by tie governor?” Thorp began. “That ida understanding.” Ewing re- plied. “You didn’t have anything to do with the appointment of Kinser or the committee?” Ewing said he “saw the names.” “And they looked satisfactory to pao on added. Ewing answered, “Yes sir.” “You described Kinzer’s duties as subordinate to the commit-ee, that the responsibility rested witk -he commit- tee?” Thorp inquired. “I don’t believe I testified that,” Ewing replied. “You said Kinzer made minor de- cisions and gathered data?” Thorp) Stangler identified a large batch of deposit slips as those of the two “Leader” accounts. Both were “mix- ed” he said, and his testimony halted until Friday when the prosecution expects to have the various slips sorted. Ewing, first witness to testify as the afternoon session began, told of complaints made to Washington about use of the relief organization for -po- litical purposes. As field representative of the fed- eral government at the time of the federal relief set-up in North Dakota, he said complaints became so numer- ous, it was necessary for him to make ® third trip into the state to confér with Langer. Two previous trips, he said, had been for the purpose of training executive secretaries of the committees in charge of the state re- lief organization. Made ‘Special’ Trip Here In July, 1933, Ewing said, he made @ special trip to North Dakota. “What was that special purpose?” District Attorney P. W. Lanier asked. “To see Governor Langer,” Ewing replied. . “Why did you want to the gov- ernor?” Lanier inquired. “Because of complaints received in ‘Washington from the people of North Dakota—complaints of three sorts: First, that two members of the relief organization were using their offices for political purposes; Second, letters received attacking Mr. Kinzer; Third, that collections had been made from federal employes—five and two, they called it, sir. The complaint was that collections of five and two per cent had been made from people receiving their money for relief.” “I did,” Ewing said, “in his office. I recounted to the governor the state- ments that had been received. I told him that complaints had been re- ceived about Mr. Kinzer, and my opinion of those complaints. “I said to the governor that it would likely jeopardize relief coming into this state because of number of complaints received.” Ewing said that in justice to Kinzer, he told the governor that Kinzer “had the wrong idea—that he was only a salaried employe on relief and only i continued. Ewing said, “I testified that those were the duties of a secretary of the state relief committee.” In reply to other questions by Thorp, he sald the committee administered the relief funds and passed upon the amoynt of money necessary. Thorp next asked Ewing as to Judge A M. Christianson’s work with the committee. Responsibility Was Committee's “Administrative work was taken up by you and the judge ond the com- mittee?” Thorp asked. Ewing re- Plied affirmatively. “And these reports to Washugter were carefully gone over by you and the committee?” Thorp queried. “{ would have to ‘suppose’ they were.” Ewing sald. “Well, when you were here they were?” “Yes, sir.” “After they had been gone over by the committee and yourself teey were sent up to the governo: for his sig- nature?” “As far as I know.” “You didn’t appoint members of the committee and neither did the gov- ernment?” “They were subject to the approval of the government.” “Before the government sent money out here, it approved the kind of a machine set up out here?” “It was approved by Washington.” “Then upon application, passed by the committee and signed by the gov- ernor, the money came out here?” “Yes, sir.” Thorp asked, “Was it, the United States or the Reconstruction Finance Corporation that sent you out here?” “I am not qualified to answer that question,” Ewing stated. Instructions From R. F. C. “You got your instructions first from the Reconstruction Finance corporation?” Ewing said he had. “For what other appointments be- side that of the Reconstruction Fi- nance corporation did you have to come out here?” Thorp pursued. Ewing replied that the federal emer- gency relief administration had named him to come to Bismarck.

Deinted secretary of the relief com- mittee by the governor, Thorp asked, “this was heresay?” Ewing said, “I got it from the com- mittee.” “Did you examine the minutes of the committee to see whether or not the governor had appointed Kinzer?” Ewing said he had not. Questioned in regard to the complaints federal emergency relief administration at Washington Dakotans in regard to Kinzer’s work on the committee, Ewing said he had tead them. “There were six altogether, 1 be- eve,” he added. In the re-direct examination of Ewing, Lanier asked, “What were you told by the committee in regard to Kinzer’s appointment?” court sustained from the stand- point that “the only question here is whether or not the different defend- whieh they intended to secslve signe? to receive an for themselves.” ¥.
