Although court attaches formally knew nothing of an agreement to withdraw an appeal from the ruling of District Judge Fred Jansonius denying an injunction order, it was learned from other sources that this action, now the only one before the court, would be withdrawn, and that attorneys for both Moodie and his opponents would join in asking that the court take jurisdiction and issue ‘@ writ of quo warranto that the mat- ter might be heard on its merits. Meanwhile, Moodie Thursday filed his oath of office and asked for a writ of election. This was done in line with the stipulation made by his at- torneys with Attorney General P. O. Sathre in which it was agreed that the certificate should be issued and the entire question presented to the court in a “quo warranto” action. Sectetary of State Robert Byrne and Governor O. H. Olson were out of town Thursday, however, and the writ was not issued, but it was pre- sumed that it will be issued in accord- ance with the agreement. Will Go to Mohall Having complied with the instruc- tions of his attorneys, Moodie in- dicated Friday that he will not be here for the proceedings in the su- preme court. Instead he will go to Mohall to spend Christmas among {his friends in that community, where he formerly published a newspaper. Attaches of the supreme court were somewhat in the dark Friday, since they had no official knowledge of the Plans of either party to the action. As the record stands now, they will call for arguments in the appeal from the injunction ruling at 10 a. m., Sat- urday. Instead of arguing that, however, both sides are expected to ask that it be dismissed and to join in peti- warranto which would lay before the court all matters pertaining to Mood- fe's right to hold office. They also would join in asking a quick and speedy determination of the matter in order to set at rest whatever doubts may exist on the sub- Francis Murphy, special attorney general in the case, already is in Bis- (Continued on Page 8) WORE ARRESTS MAY “FOLLOW INSLAYING OF DICKSON MAN | Sheriff Is Sent to Mandan to Return Accused Woman to Dickinson Dickinson, N.

He declared that investigation of the slaying of Gibson December 5, 1933, previously held to be a suicide, has disclosed evidence that leads to the belief others may be implicated. While the investigation into the Gibson case progressed, the probe in- to the killing of Mrs. Herbert McKir- dy, to which her husband has con- fessed, was practically concluded. Kellogg declined to reveal what ar- rests are in prospect, but indicated that investigators take the view that Mrs. Gibson may have had accom- Plices, although the woman claims she alone is responsible for the kill- ing. In the meantime Mackoff and Lish continued to investigate details of the case, bearing on the stories told at Gibson's inquest which led to & verdict of suicide.

JURY DEUBERATES ON MARTIN INSULL UMILIMES ‘THEFT’ Defendant Charged With Em. bezzlement of $344,720 of Firm's Funds Chicago, Dec. 21.—()—A criminal} court jury, with an eye on the calen- dar, deliberated Friday the state's cereenemt charges against Martin insull. An extraordinary session of Judge Cornelius J. Harrington's: court, Tronbly intended to speed up a decis- ion so the jurors might utilize the few; remaining Christmas shopping days, scene of the accident, 250 miles away brought them the case. Thursday night at 12:50 a. m. The silver-haired defendant, whose action in drawing $344,720 from Mid- dlewest Utilities company treasury to bolster a sagging stock market ac- count, was branded <“theft” by prose- cutors, the attorneys and attaches all were hopeful of a speedy verdict. Attendents said the jurors began their discussion as soon as they reach- ed their room. But after three hours dace they were locked up for night. Insull, waiting in the courtroom in the early hours of a snowy December morn, recalled that a federal court jury last month required only slightly more than two hours to acquit his brother and business preceptor, Sam- uel, and 17 co-defendants of mail order fraud in another transaction growing out of the collapse of the Insull util- ity empire. Martin's Third Trial Another criminal jury, 18 months ago likewise acquitted an Insull as- sociate, Marshall E. Sampsell of em- bezzlement. Martin's, the third trial of the ser~ jes instituted soon after the Insull Power crumbled during the stress of depression difficulties, had consumed 17 days. Its final session Thursday started at 9:30 a. m. and continued until de- fense and prosecuting counsel had completed early Friday morning their sharply divergent pictures of that middle west transaction in October, 1931. Assistant State's Attorney John O’Hora swinging the heavy verbal cudgels, for the state compared the case against the former millionaire ne that of a clerk who steals from a till. The closing defense argument, by! John E. Northup, reminded the jur-; ors they soon would “be free from here to mingle in Christmas cheer” and pleaded that the nearly 70-year- old defendant coveted but one thing, “vindication.” “The evidence in this case will give it to him,” Northup as- rted. unt 40° Ss a c = =, \ = snow probable Saturday; warmer. jand Amman rosred over the desert | DIES OF PNEUMONIA ‘Active pall bearers will be John A.

Dec. 21—(#)—The giant American-built airplane “Uiver’ pride of the Royal Dutch air lines was found wrecked and burned Fri- day, its seven occupants killed. The plane crashed during a thun- derstorm Thursday, 10 miles south of Rutba Wells, Iraq. Scouting planes of the British Royal air force, who had for the liner since early Thursday, found the charr-d wreckage. The machine had been burned to cinders Fresh from triumphs in the Eng- land to Melbourne air derby, the liner, popularly known as “the fly- ing hotel,” was seeking new laurel: in a speed flight fron. Amsterdam (> Batavia, Java, when disaster over- took it. Carried Three Passengers The victims were three passenger. and four members of the crew. They were: Professor Walch of Batavia univer- sity; M. Beretti, director of Aneta, official news agency of the Dutch East Indies, and M. Kort, a business- man, M. Beeknan, commander anc chif pilot; second Pilot aVn Steen- bergen; H. A. Walewyn, engineer; ana Wireless Operator C. Van Zadelhogg. Although the exact cause of the tragedy was not known, air officials here expressed belief it had beer struck by lightning. The last radio message from the doomed craft, re- ceived early Thursday, said it was ir difficulty during 2 storm near Rutba Wells and asked its position. More than a scorc of British planes and armored cars had been pressed into the hunt for the liner. Unaware of the fate which had overtaken their countrymen, two ve:- eran Dutch pilots hopped off from Amsterdam Friday morning to aid in the search. They were G. J. Gey- sendorfer, who was pilot for the late Van Lear Black, Baltimore, Md., Publisher, and Commander Sillevis. Won Derby Handicap Exactly one month ago 50,000 per- sons cheered “tle flying hotel” when it returned to Amsterdam after win- ning the handicap race in the Mele bourne derb,;. Its pilots on that flight, K. D. Par- mentier and J. J. Moll were honored by Queen Wilhelmina. The plane was second in the derby. Representati: 2s of the Dutch Royal air lines and of the British Imperiai Airways left Baghdad by air for the to investigate. The sce1 of the crash, midway between the coast of Palestine a-c Baghdad, is a desolate one. Twenty-four planes from the Brit- ish Royal Air Force bases at Ginaidi this morning, despite predictions of another violent thunderstorm, before word came that the burned wreck- age had been spotted.
