It was rumored the kidnaping plan had called for @ 150-mile automobile trip to Sault Ste Marie on the Michigan-Ontario border, where the airplane was to have been waiting. The babies, it was said, were to have been placed night and carried dominion, in the plane at Pittsburgh, March 25.—(#)— The state supreme court Monday affirmed the conviction of Rob- ert Allen Edwards, under sentence of death for the “American tragedy” slaying of Freda Mc- Kechnie. Edwards was convicted last Oc- tober 6 at Wilkes-Barre. His appeal was taken on the ground a juror at his trial, John __THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, MONDAY, MARCH 25, 1985 Luft, had pre-judged the case, his innocence and his punishment if found guilty.

It was clearly evident, however, that he was greatly of roads, concerning his message to the governor, and was informed by | MacDonald that his letter to Welford | carried “no suggestion as to your dis- Placement.” “I am wiring governor to the effect that our letter carried no suggestion ‘as to your displscement,” MacDonald's telegram to Olson stated. “We have had full cooperation from Causes of conditions which we called to the attention of the governor for correction preceded by many months your appointment.” Commissioner Olson received scores “stick by his guns.” Olson became highway commis- sioner on January 23 under appoint- ment of Former Governor Thomas H. Moodie. The law provides that he may be removed only for neglect of duty, misfeasance or non-feasance in office. To sustain his removal action, Welford would have to find Olson guilty on one of these charges. The nature of the charges which would be filed to sustain a removal order hhad not been disclosed Monday. In his demand on Olson, Governor ‘Welford said: “I beg to inform you that I have received from the U. 8. bureau of public roads a complaint under date of March 6, 1935, regard- the unsatisfactory condition of the public highways and requesting that these conditions be remedied immediately. Feels Responsible “It is evident, therefore, that the U. 8. bureau of public roads holds the governor responsible for a change in these conditions. However, I did not make the appointment of the high- ‘way commissioner, nor did I have any voice in the selection of the personnel of the department. It is unfair, there- fore, to hold me responsible for the conditions which are criticized by the bureau, since I have no authority to interfere with the operation of the department or to dictate its policies. “In view of the circumstances, it ‘would only be fair that you should tender your resignation and thus en- able me to take such action as in my judgment is necessary to remedy the conditions complained of. “I also have on file in my office other complaints about your depart- ment, the nature of which although serious, might not be considered by me at this time as serious enough to call for your resignation, yet in ar- riving at this conclusion, I have con- sidered them and do not feel that I can disregard them. “I am, therefore, compelled to ask you to file with me not later than 5 o'clock p. m., on March 25, 1935, Finnegan, school basketball luminary, and K.

He pointed out the federal govern- ment had invested more than $24,- 000,000 in the “construction and re- construction” of highways in North ‘kota. e obligation of the state is the clear,” McDonald concluded. “The situation now facing state arises from two major causes: First the diversion of special taxes raised for highway purposes to other Purposes; second the breakdown in the maintenance organization and re- placement with inexperienced and in. | Penal competent personnel, “While it is the desire of this bureau to co-operate with the state in every way possible consistent with our responsibility under the law, it will be necessary for the state to find some means by which the present un- satisfactory maintenance situation can be remedied.” ‘ CONTINUED -trom page one! State Track Meet To Be Held Here final game “made” the crowd, but with no large delegations from Graf- ton or Wahpeton this year they changed this opinion. Those who spoke at the banquet were Governor Walter Welford, M. B. Zimmerman, superintendent of schools at Grafton; H. P.

I shal | Plann continue to refuse to resign. These charges are unfair and unfounded. “It is true the federal bureau has in the past reported some roads un- satisfactory.
