He then found himself unable te continue and an attorney was ap- pointed to represent him, The writer charged in his opening statement that the charge was part of a “political conspiracy” against him, but offered no evidence bearing on this. “There has been no evidence of a frameup or conspiracy,” Judge Albert Enerson warned in his charge to the jurors, “and you will disregard any such.statements..I want to say that peta? has been committed in this trial.” i He did not elaborate his statement on perjury. His warning on evidence of a frameup or conspiracy was aimed at Liggett’s statement to the jury be- fore opening his defense when he ac- cused “powerful and unscrupulous po- litical enemies” of “conspiring” to in- jure him.

(AP Photo) Bierman ‘Fed Up’ With ‘Roughing Simmons’ Theme, He Tells lowans Olson Offers to Bet Herring} Prize Hog That Gophers Would Triumph 8t.. Paul, Nov. 9—()—Gov. Floyd B, Olson Saturday sent two telegrams to Iowa, one. to Gov. Clyde Herring and the other to Coach Bernie Bier- ‘ap, offering a bet of a prize hog on ‘whe. outcome of the Iowa-Minnesota football game with the former and ‘assuring the latter that he need have no fear from Iowa crowds. In his telegram to Gov. Herring, Minnesota's chief executive addressed the Iowa governor as “Dear Clyde,” stating that “Minnesota folks are ex- cited over your statement about the Iowa crowd lynching the Minnesota football team.” “I have assured them that you are @ law-abiding gentleman and are only trying to get our goat,” Governor Ol- son said. Governor Olson cautioned Governor Herring, however, that “The Minne- sota team will tackle clean, but, Oh! how hard, Clyde.” Loser Must Deliver “If,” the telegram continued, “you seriously think Iowa has any chance to win,-I will bet you a Minnesota prize hog against an Iowa prize hog that Minnesota wins today. The loser must deliver the hog in person to the winner, Accept my bet through an Associated Press reporter. You are getting odds because Minnesota raises better hogs than Iowa. My best per- sonal regards and condolences.” To Coach Bierman, Governor Olson said, “The governor of Iowa is a fine fellow and is only trying to get our boys in such @ state of mind they will tackle Simmons * as though he were not made of egg shells. ‘Minnesota people,” the message added, “expect the boys to tackle clean, but Mard. We are all with you and the team and know you will win.” Says Charges Manufactured President Lotus D. Coffman of the University of Minnesota said Satur- day the impression Minnesota football layers were guilty of roughing against Iowa last year was “manufac- tured by outside forces.” He commented on a statement by Governor Herring that in today’s game “if the officials stand for any tough tactics like Minnesota used last year, I'm sure the crowd won't. “The relationship between these two institutions, between members of the teams, between the coaching staffs and between the administrations have been cordial and first rate in every way,” said Coffman. “This whole thing has been manufactured by out- side forces.” KENSAL GIRL DEAD Jamestown, N, D., Nov. 9. — (P) — Elaine, 17, daughter of Mrs. Ida Dun- num, Kensal, died here Friday from Pneumonia.

The first time he carried the ball, officials pulled a pile of Minnesota players off him and waved Minnesota back for a penalty. ‘There wasn’t a “boo” in the crowd during the first few plays, but a rum- ble of protest rippled across the stad- ium as Minnesota players roughed the Negro star. Towa kicked off and the ball was downed on the Minnesota 36. The two teams exchanged punts. After a dozen plays, Simmons was sent in the game. A Minnesota punt was taken by Simmons on Iowa's 14, and the Negro flash came back to the 35. The Hawkeyes then were given 15 yards when Minnesota was penalized. Simmons made a yard through the line on the next play, then completed @ pass to Crayne who was run out of bounds on the Minnesota 12.

Chaput in Spotlight High point of the trial Friday was the testimony by Chaput, who for the first time revealed that ownership of the Leader at least ostensibly had passed to Langer shortly after its or- ganization. Chaput testified in response to ques- tions by Lanier, that about a month after the Leader had been established, in July, 1933, he notaried a bill of sale of the weekly from Erickson to Langer. His testimony stirred a courtroom which, virtually deserted for days, suddenly sprung into life, with seats overcrowded, after it was learned Chaput would take the witness stand against his former associates. ‘As Chaput left the witness stand, the crowd settled back, prepared to listen only to routine testimony once more, but were sparkled into life soon afterwards when a legal battle de- (Continued on Page Seven) e ARMISTICE PROGRAM PLAN 1S COMPLETE Parade Monday Morning to Be Followed by Observance in Auditorium at i Killed in Shang 7 ij i tH
