No Statement of Residence Francis Murphy attempted to infer that Moodie had listed himself as a resident of Minnesota in that docu- ment but C. J. Murphy interrupted to say income tax reports contain No statements as to residence. Taking Moodie step by step from his boyhood in Wadena and Winona counties, Minnesota to the governor- ship, Francis Murphy elicited the fact that he had worked on a large num- ber of newspapers as linotype opera- tor, reporter and editor, and the dates, most of which Moodie gave without hesitation. At its close he inquired about four newspapers which Moodie had not listed. Moodie said he had worked on them. ‘This was the first disclosure in any of the court proceedings to date of the intensive study of Moodie's ca- reer which had been made by his Political opponents. The record, in brief, after Moodie learned the printing trade in Wa- dena, was that of a printer and re- Porter of the period, a notable fact being that his periods of employ- ment on each paper were of longer) duration after his marriage. Record of Testimony Here 1s the record as developed by the governor's testimony: Born in Canada, reared in Wadena and Wi- nona, Minn., worked on the railroad, then to the Cavalier County (N. D.) Republican in 1898; then to the Bi marck Tribune, then to Minneapo Thursday’s Examination | ‘Thursday afternoon, with vigorous |clipped answers, Moodie was examin- ‘ed by his own counsel, C. J. Murphy of Grand Forks, and testified that he jhas regarded himself as a legal resi- |dent of North Dakota for all of the \last 10 years. | Despite a mounting tide of rumors | which had been circulating through- ,out Bismarck, Thursday's court ses- sion disclosed little that was new in the way of evidence. | ‘The prosecution based what it called its “prima facie case” on three docu- ments, all of which were admitted in evidence without objection. | + They were a voting record from Minnesota which showed that Moodie {voted there in June and November ;1930. A supplementary angle to this was a record showing Mrs. Moodie |had voted in November also. The second item was a series of ap- |plications for automobile licenses |made by Moodie in Minnesota dur- ling the year and a half that he was | there. The third was an income tax re- Port filed with the North Dakota tax department in 1931 in which Moodie ;Said he did not file a report in this state in 1930 because he was at that time a “resident of Minnesota.” H Intent Appears Only Issue All of these tiems were introduced jas bearing on the intent of Moodie in going to Minnesota in 1929 after the sale of his newspaper at Mohall, admittedly the only point at issue in the trial.

D.; Minot, Grand Forks, Duluth, Hibbing and Virginia, Minn., Minneapolis, New Orleans, La.; St. Paul, Wahpeton, N. D., in 1919 or '20. That took him up to the time of hig continued residence in North Da- kota except for his trip to California and his employment in Minneapolis which is at the base of the state's contention. Votes in Other Cities Frequently Murphy asked if he had voted at the places mentioned. Us- ually the answer was no but it was disclosed that upon his journeyings he had voted at Grand Forks and at Hibbing and Virginia. Under further questioning, Moodie said he had worked for papers at St. Seattle, Omaha and Tacoma his journeyings and that he had roted at Bemidji, Minn., in 1901 while said that he tried to keep in- on public affairs wherever he worked but did not recall ever hav- an absent voters ballot in Closed at be & He sks i 8 g : J published in the Minneapolis s on Nov. 1% 1934, which Mur- jwith the unsuccessful attempt to keep Moodie from taking ofifce. | Moodie forces are pinning their in which residence can be changed, | which says, among other things, that this can be done only “by a union of act and intent.” Their contention is that, while Moodie spent a year and ed to give up his North Dakota resi- dence, Though most of Thursday's exam- ination was by his own counsel, the questions regarding his leaving the State after the sale of his newspaper in 1929.

One A second “no—not a resident then.” Moodie of regular order in response to Mur- Phy’s request to enable the special assistant to complete his presenta- tions of proof. Moodie returned to his chair by a deep recessed window, as his attor- jney, C. J. Murphy, began the task of Treading numerous affidavits from friends and fellow-workers, attest- ing to his intent. 1 Moodie Affidavit Read Included in the affidavits was one from ‘Moodie himself, relating his life in North Dakota, and explaining the efforts he made to purchase various newspapers in the state. Recalled to the stand, Moodie ex- plained his reply in the income tax return, under examination by C. J. Murphy. “In the tax return for 1931, you said you did not make a return in 1930 because you were not residing here—what did you mean?” asked Murphy. “That I was in Minneapolis,” wered Moodie. “When you say you were not a resi- dent in North Dakota you meant lyou were in Minneapolis?” “Yes.” “You understand that while you were living in Minneapolis you were not Mable to the income tax?” “How much did you earn during the time you were in Minneapolis?” “For the year 1930, my income was $3,000,” Moodie replied. Murphy devoted much of his ques- tioning to the time between July, 1929, and April, 1931, which Moodie, with his wife, spent in Minneapolis. Aligned against the governor early in the session were documents, the effect of which the state claims will topple Moodie from his position. Evidence Placed in Record Bit by bit, Francis Murphy placed in the record the evidence upon which he builds his case; a photo- static copy of Moodie’s voter's regis- tration card in Minneapolis, showing he voted twice in 1930; a similar pho- tostatic copy of @ like card of Mrs. Moodie; two applications for motor vehicle licenses, and a motor vehicle transfer in Minnesota; numerous sections of the state constitution; portions of the Minnesota election laws; copies of editorials written by Moodie; a copy of the 1931 income tax return. C. J. Murphy, Grand Forks, Moodie’s attorney, immediately Plunged into dissection of the evi- dence against the chief executive. Carefully, he studied copies of stip- ulated facts, predicating his ques- tions on them. “Had you any purpose or intent in your mind to go into the newspaper business as a publisher or employe in Minneapolis when you went there?” asked Murphy. “I did not,” replied Moodie. Moodie testified that after he went to Minneapolis, he immediately be- gan contacting agents who would be in a position to inform him of news- papers for sale in North Dakota. Be- cause of illness of his wife's sister, they remained in Minneapolis, he said. Position Only Temporary A lengthy affidavit by Moodie, part of the record of the original proceed- ings in district court December 12, was read. In the affidavit, Moodie stated he was offered a position on the Minneapolis Tribune as a mem- ber of the editorial staff. Moodie said he took the position with the understanding it was to be only tem- porary. Moodie said he conferred with the managing editor of the paper. “What was said to the managing editor of the Tribune with respect to the character of the employment?” Moodie was asked. what the work talked to F.
