Most of them feel they are being made the victims of a political fracas which they have been careful to avoid. THERE WERE SIGNS OF DISAGREEMENT There were signs, at the trial of Governor William Langer and his co- defendants in federal court, that his football team of 11 defense lawyers had too many quarterbacks, or, in baseball language, too pitchers.

But something happened. stayed there until the final rush, wi to the jury. Lawyers find the answer in the theory that ikler’s “style” is better suited to the state courts, where judges are not usually so “tough” as in the federal courts where they hold office for life. Thorp and Hanley are ld suave. The defense evidently thought they would go better with the jury. THE PROSECUTION HAD A PROBLEM, TOO At the outset of the trial the prosecution whether to heat up the blow-torch and raise a c! and oppressed or present the facts in a calm and } show of heat. District Attorney P. W. Lanier took the rete beech site ot tia Tile was there any waving o! or there wasn’t much of it there. The prosecution left most of that to the de- fense attorneys. THE CYNICS WOULD THINK THAT The reaction of one cynical newspaperman to the appeals by the de- fense was contained in this bon mot: “If you can't try the facts, try the newspapers. If you can't try the newspapers, try the prosecutor.” This was apropos of repeated defense comments on Lanier's remark to the jury that “the eyes of the nation are upon you.” Judge Miller, by the way, was well satisfied with the manner in which the newspapers the case; took occasion to indicate as much in a conversation with one of the Total, Jan. 1st to date y Normal, Jan, Ist to date . 761 Accumulated defcy. to date .... 5.18 NORTH DAKOTA POINTS High- Low: t.

One distinguished jurist commented that Miller had given a splendid demoystration of the way a difficult piece of litigation should be handled. EMERGENCIES MAKE STRANGE BEDFELLOWS Emergencies as well as politics make strange bedfellows. Within the last six months Pete Aarhus, one-time leading Nonpartisan, was bitterly against Langer. Aarhus assisted Langer in the effort to organize a news- paper in 1928. This was the deal in which the governor obtained the “mort- gage” on the League which he subsequently foreclosed in 1933, according to his story as told to the jury. Early this year Aarhus was contending loudly that he got “rooked” financially in that deal and had encountered other trouble of a purely personal nature besides. But at last accounts he was on good terms with his erstwhile enemy. The breach apparently had been closed. The fact is that Aarhus was subpoenaed to testify for the de- fense, although he never was put on the stand.

How much has been obtained is, of course, as much of much “The Leader” obtained used to be.
