"4 “y e French Ask Eden’s Aid = To Reduce Reich Army ~ Minncapolis, clear Laval Insists on Britain’s Sup- port as. Atonement for Anglo-German Pact Paris, June 27. — (7) — Official French sources said Thursday France expects Great Britain, as “atone- ment” for making a separate Anglo- German naval deal, to put pressure on Germany for a reduction of the Reich’s army. Premier Laval, according to these sources, told Cagt. Anthony Eden of Great Britain frankly that France wants Great Britain’s help in seek- ing to induce Adolf Hitler to cut his proposed army well below the 550,- 000 troops announced. When Laval and Eden resumed their conversations, interrupted for a@ few days while the British diplo- mat talked with Premier Mussolini in Rome, their policies still were wide apart. Although Laval had demanded be- fore Eden went to Rome that the British cabinet declare England here- after would negotiate only in a col- lective peace system, Eden failed to produce such a declaration for the French premier. Faces Cool Reception Great Britain’s special negotiator faced a cool reception since Laval declared himself “more than ever” decided that France must depend on multi-lateral pacts, with the League of Nations as a peace framework. The French were represented as being convinced that England has turned away from the Anglo-Italo- French united front, erected at the Stresa conference, by her separate naval treaty with Germany. They asserted that Premier Mus- solini was not dissatisfied with Eng- Jand’s naval move because it took the French fleet into the Atlantic and left the Italians with added prestige in the Mediterranean, i Weather Report ¢ o--@ FORECAST For Bismarck and vicinity: Fair tonight; Friday becoming unsettled, possibly showers; not much change in_temperature.

He also asserted that they the jurors. He said the state had tried to pre- asked was that justice be done to both the defendant and the state. Judge. McKenna’s charge to the jury dealt with the law in the case, stressing the legal phases of “rea- sonable” doubt to which both the state and defense attorneys had giv- en so much attention. Clarifies Legal Terms The instructions to the jury clarified the meaning of the various legal terms used in the indictment and held that the one question at issue was whether Mrs. Gibson did actually shoot her husband. If the state did not estab- lish that fact the verdict Should be | not guilty, he said. If it did establish the fact, how- ever, the verdict should be guilty of | murder in the first degree since the defendant entered a complete denial of the charge and no extenuating cir- cumstances were shown in the evi- dence for such shooting, if it was done. Judge McKenna emphasized that | there was no direct evidence as to the | shooting and that the state’s main re- liance was upon circumstantial evi- || dence, including the alleged confes- sions of the defendant which were placed by him in that category. The rule regarding circumstantial evi- dence, he said, is that it must not only point to the defendant's guilt but be clearly incompatible with any other reasonable hypothesis. Instructions covering the alleged confession were lengthy and went into the law in detail, the judge pointing out that it is the jury’s duty to deter- mine what weight should be given to them, if any, in view of all the cir- cumstances. If the jury finds they were not made voluntarily it should ignore them, he said. Starke summed up the evidence tending to prove that Mrs. Gibson was innocent of any crime by citing ten reasons why she could not have committed the murder, They were: “That Mrs. Gibson did not know that ‘Than’ could shoot with his left hand and would not have placed the gun in the - position it was found, knowing that. he was naturally right-handed.” “That she gave a prompt alarm after discovering the body, calling both the boys and the doctor.” “That no person intent on murder would underfake the crime with the large number of persons present. as were at the Gibson home on the night of the shooting.” Like Any Normal Woman “That testimony of Dr. Rogers proved that she had acted like any normal woman who had lost her husband.” “That she did not hesitate when the body was brought home to go in and look at her husband and that sleeping in the same room and the same bed where Gibson died.” “That she made ne attempt to cash the insurance.” “That she did not know the insur- ance was in effect at the time of Gibson's death.” “That she clung to her testimony that she had slept in the bed that night even when contradictory state- ments of the doctor and the sheriff regarding the unruffled bed covering had been given.” “That she kept her own corres- pondence with friends of the family and didn’t team up or burn letters ——_—_———— CLTATION HEARING FINAL RE- RT AND ACCOUNT: *ririo’ FOR DISTRIB! ty of Burleigh. ss. 1N COUNTY COURT, Before Hon, I.

POSTPONE TENNIS TOURNEY (® — The] Judge Upholds Miller In Suit Against AAA Dallas, June 27.—(?)—The B. R. Smith Milling company of Sherman Thursday held at least a temporary victory over the agricultural adjust- ment act . Federal Judge William H. Atwell late Wednesday issued a temporary injunction restraining federal offi- cials from collecting or attempting to collect the AAA processing tax on wheat from the milling company. W. H. Oppenheimer of St. Paul, Minn., company attorney, attacked the tax as unconstitutional on the claim that “it is an unlawful delega- tion of legislative powers to an execu- tive; that it constituted the taking of private property without due process of law and that in effect the measure was @ penalty and not a revenue measure.” Burns Prove Fatal to Williams Farm Woman Williston, N.

These friends said the situa- tion had reached a point where the duel could not be avoided and that, in the eyes of fifty million Frenchmen, nothing else would do. < 8 | Belfield Legion Team Adds Two More Wins Special to the Tribune Belfield, N.
