Mrs. Gibson in more than four hours of testimony. Three others who fol- lowed Miss Donis to the stand in the afternoon were Calvert Gibson, brother of the Dickinson mail carrier who was found shot to death Dec. 5, 1933; Arthur Lillie, Dickinson garage Reached by Statejman; and Mrs. Joseph Donis, 8r., mother of Katherine and Joseph Dickinson restaurant booth, next to/Donis dr. the alleged paramour of one in which she was sitting, say “if |Mrs. H she (Mrs. Gibson)’ fools around with Jim Harris she will get in more trou- ble than she ever had before.” “I told her,” the witness said, “ “You know me well enough now not to be afraid of me’ and she said, ‘I do and I don’t care what people say.’” ‘Slicker’ Confessed to Her The detective said he then “con- fessed” to her that he was actually a Chicago gangster. He showed her the gun with which her husband had been shot and said he had stolen it from the sheriff's office to protect her, For his own protection, he asked her for some means of assurance that she would keep the secret that he was @ gangster, Kullis testified. In reply, the witness said, she of- fered to show him she could be a good sport and gave him the alleged ad- mission, He denied that he had threatened her with the gun. To overcome objections of the de- fense, Attorney Kellogg was sworn in as a witness and testified briefly that he had received “exhibit 30” from Harris early on the morning of De- cember 20. The exhibit was one of the notes which Harris said he re- ceived from Mrs. Gibson at the Man- dan jail. At noon Harris was still on the stand as the defense continued an attack on the witness’ credibility. At- torney Al Kuhfeld conducted the cross-examination, ‘Methods’ Held Secret The defense questioning was often resisted by Harris, who stood his ground on the premise that the na- ture of his work prohibited him from revealing his methods, former cases on which he had been employed and definite details of his past. He said he had come to this coun- try from Greece in 1906, had changed his name from Kullis to Harris when | he was naturalized during the period in which he served in the United States army in 1917. For his service to Stark county, he said, he had been paid a total of $4,500, $2,000 before he secured the alleged admission from Mrs. Gibson, and $2,500 since then. He admitted that the Jackie Davis, the woman who acted the part of his wife, while he lived at the Gibson home, was Jennie Clemens of James- town but denied that they had lived as man and wife. He also denied that he had at one time operated a house of ill fame at Glasgow, Mont. The state Friday presented one of its principal witnesses, Miss Katherine Donis, who told of intimacies between her brother, Joseph Donis, Jr., and|his own life. Mrs. Donis, Sr., an elderly Hun- garian woman, now living in Califor- nia, testified that Mrs. Gibson made frequent visits to their farm when the family lived north of Dickinson, She said her son Joe and Mrs. Gib- son would take automobile rides and come back late in the evening. Wrote Daily Letter “Did she write letters to him?” State's Attorney Theodore Kellogg inquired. “Yes, lots of them.” “How often?” “Every day. Sometimes twice.” “Do you know what he did with those letters?” “He read thero and burned them.’ The Donis family frequently visited the Gibsons in Dickinson also, she re- lated. “Were you ever there when Mr. Gibson came in when Joe was there?” “Yes.” “What happened?” “Mrs, Gibson told Joe to hide.” “Where did he go?” “Upstairs sometimes, sometimes downstairs. Wherever he could find.’ The witness was too fluent for the court and the attorneys several times were required to halt her testimony as she chatted on with Kellogg in a manner which the defense frequently branded as “not responsive.” Eberhart Cross-Examines Defense Attorney Claire Eberhart, in cross-examining the witness, asked, “You are not a citizen of this coun- try?” Mrs. Donis said she is not but ex- pects to get her naturalization papers in the near future. “Did any one tell you what to say when you came up here?” “No.” “Weren't you told you would be de- ported and sent back to Hungary if you didn’t testify here?” “No.” “You had no idea you would be?” “No.” Further questioning of Mrs. Donis by the defense brought out that she had heard Gibson say he believed the world was coming to an end and that those who died before it hap- pened would “be young and strong” in the next world. Declares Brother Right-handed Calvert Gibson identified the hand- writing of Mrs. Gibson and testified he was positive his brother, thaniel, the deceased, was right- handed. Arthur Lillie said Gibson was not intoxicated when he saw him at 9:45 on the night preceding the shooting.
