Adv.) fense witness against mail fraud charges in ® 30-minute appearance Monday morning in Federal Judge James H. Wilkerson’s court. Federal Prosecutor Leslie E. Salter asked In- sull a half dozen questions; Insull’s |own attorney asked three, and the de- |posed Chicago utility executive left It has been rumored, more or less, throughout the city of Bismarck and Burleigh County, that should I be successful in my coming campaign for the office of Sheriff, that I would appoint Mr. C.

Although 16 others are charged in the case, along with Insull, Insull’s appearance was regarded by sides as the decisive engagement of the trial, since Insull admittedly dom- inated the affairs of his huge utility In the hands of his own attorney, Tnsull told a proud story of his rise as a utility operator and defended his commercial failure as an incident of the world-wide depression which fol- lowed the boom days of 1929. Maintains He’s Honest Man ] ‘Under cross-examination, the utility executive maintained stubbornly that his motives as a financier always had been honest, shouting this answer angrily when prosecutors pointed out weaknesses in his companies or in- sisted that investors had been mis- Jed, either by plain misrepresentations or by the omission of important in- formation about the Insull companies. Sam Howard, trustee in bankruptcy for the Corporation Securities com- Pany, followed Insull to the stand. The government's last shot at In- sull was a charge, supported by checks Insull idetitified reluctantly, that the Insull family in 1929 sold some of its own securities to one of the Insull in- vestment trusts in a concealed deal. ‘Thompson objected vigorously when Prosecutor Salter produced checks and contracts, contending that the sale by the Insull family and the purchase by the investment trust were two differ- ent transactions. not related. The Insull family sold to Halsey Stuart & Co., according to the docu- ments produced. Then Insull Utility Investments, Inc., in a contract sign- ed by Insull as president, bought the stock at the same price. The deal came to $4,408,534.12. Insull, his son, Samuel, Jr., his wife, Margaret, and his brother, Martin J. Insull, all joined in selling the secur- ities to Halsey Stuart, according to Bruno Plans Fight THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1934 Week-End Accidents When Car Overturns Occupants of the automobile owned by L.

Anstrom, has been suspended from the Burleigh County Sheriff's force. I wish to say that this is an utter falsehood as I am the person who has the right to hire and suspend and should know if such a thing had occurred in my office. Mr, Anstrom called at the Auditor's office for his salary for the month of October, and by an under- standing with the majority of the County Commis- sioners Mr. Anstrom was not to be paid his salary for the month of October, 1934, as he had already taken the month of June off previously with pay, and if he was to receive pay for the month of October also it would be an injustice to the taxpayers of Burleigh County, if he was permitted two months off with full pay. The public no doubt knows that I have two depu- ties running for the office of Sheriff, and I do not think it fair that one should be compelled to remain in the office all the time and attend to his work while the other is out all of the time conducting his campaign with full pay on public monies, It has also been rumored and generally circulated that I have appointed someone to fill the alleged vacancy, and I wish to state at this time that no one has been appointed nor do I intend fo appoint anyone. 3.
