D., Nov. 12—(P)—A first degree murder charge was lodg- ed Tuesday against Mrs. John Haga, Fairview farm woman, who author- ities claim shot and killed her hus- band Saturday night in the bedroom of their farm home. Mrs. Haga, authorities said, claims she fired in self defense after her husband allegedly rushed at her with a club. In filing the charge, W. A. Jacob- sen, McKenzie county states attor- ney, said preliminary hearing will be set probably later in the week. In Williams Jail Mrs. Haga is being held in the Wil- lams county jail here. According to the woman’s story, au- thorities said, Mrs, Haga claims her husband rushed at her in a jealous rage after she had returned from town Saturday night where she had taken Melvin Hiel, 19, hired hand on the farm, and her son, Wilbur, 12. Mrs. Haga declared that as she was preparing to retire for the night her husband shouted: “Now I'll fix you.” According to her claim he went into the kitchen and Mrs. Haga said she believed he was going after a rifle. She said she went to the and took a .32 revolver from beneath her hus- band’s pillow, according to authori- ties. Fired at Husband Mrs. Haga then claimed her hus- band rushed into the room with a club and as he advanced she “fired one shot.” It struck him in the heart. “I knew he was going to beat me with the club,” she was quoted by au- thorities as stating. “I had to pro- tect myself.” Mrs. Haga then said she awoke their sleeping son, Wilbur, and -went to Fairview to inform police of the shoot- ing. She also claimed her husband “threatened me on other occasions.” Funeral services were held at Fair- view Tuesday for Haga, 60-year-old beet farmer. coe Unexpected Move By Defense Brings Case Near Finish and resigned from the secretaryship about a month after he had taken the Job, He was not cross-examined. H. €. Frahm, chief engineer of the state highway department, was asked by Murphy “you know what the ef- ficiency of the engineering force was from May on—in 1933?” “Yes, I know,” answered Frahm. “Was it good or otherwise?” Frahm hesitated in thought. “Well, was the engineering force efficient during those months?” quer- ier Murphy. “—Efficiency is a relative term,” answered Frahm—“the efficiency was improving during those months—I’ll say that.” Recalls Solicitation On cross-examination Lanier asked Frahm: “You recall the highway de- partment employes were solicited for 5 per cent?” “Yes,” Frahm answered. “You recall several hundred were solicited and gave post-dated checks? —and also were given subscriptions to sell with which to repay them- NTINUE from page one’ a| regataing On rebuttal, Hepner was asked if he had observed “the men in general in connection with solicitations.” He replied he had. Hepner said he had noted a “dif- ference” in the men after solicitations were made of them. Federal Judge A. Lee Wyman ruled out remaining answers when Lanier sought to determine what the “differ- ence” was. Acquittal Again Denied ; ‘The defense renewed its motion for @ directed verdict of acquittal, which was denied by the court. By agreement, final arguments to the jury will be limited to two hours for each side. Testimony, that Langer ordered re- lief employes’ solicitations came first from R. M. Stangler, man- ager of the Bank of North Dakota, and a member of the state relief com- mittee in 1933. He was called as a defense witness, Stangler testified that in the fall of 1933 during an automobile ride with Langer he discussed solicitations of relief’ employes and also told the governor about complaints from fed- eral authorities regarding Kinzer, at that time executive secretary of the ned organization and now a defend- ant. “The governor said we should stop collections and clean it up immedi- ately.” Stangler said. “What did you understand him to mean by that,” Murphy asked. “He meant the committee, I pre- sume,” replied Stangler. Earlier in his testimony under direct examination Stangler said he had gone to see Langer “about a job for: Kinzer so it would be easier for him to resign.” Presses Questioning Under cross-examination by Lanter, Stangler was asked “when Kinzer had complaints made against him he de- clined to resign didn’t he?” Stangler was prevented from an- swering the question when defense ob- jections were sustained by the court. Several other attempts by Lanier to obtain an answer to the question met with similar adverse rulings. “But before he resigned you went to the governor about the matter?’ Lanier persisted. “Yes,” answered Stangler. “And after you got the job for him he resigned?” Once more, defense objections were sustained and Stangler was barred from answering the question. Nichols Corroborates Similar testimony that Langer or- dered collections from relief employes to be halted came from Lee Nichols, state tax commissioner, and a mem- ber of the State Emergency Relief committee in 1933. Nichols said he called at the gov- ernor’s office and talked with Langer, telling him some complaints regarding Kinzer had been received from Wash- * lington and “that he no ionger was ac- ceptable to Hopkins as secretary of our committee.” Nichols said Kinzer was criticized Sample Low One Way Fares New York .....$25.75 Washington 85 politics and solicitations. “Langer told me he had He told me he straightened up. not want to be bothered, that he had/ appointed a committee to handle it. Had Troubles of His Own Murphy leaned. forward and asked “as a matter ot fact didn’t he say ‘I got troubles of my own right here’ and didn’t he point to his outer office?” Nichols from the witness stand smiled, nodded and replied, “yes, sit.’ down the Judge Wyman, defense motion for acquittal, held rec- ords introduced by the government tefendants to solicit from state and federal employes. “The records,” Judge Wyman said, “show an agreement between parties to sdlicit funds out of salaries of state employes for the purpose of financing stoppedja newspaper which was to | the political interest of the political parties with which the defendants were affiliated. Evidence of Solicitation “There is evidence here there was solicitation of state employes and em- ployes who are charged with’the spe- cial and exclusive duty of administer- ing statutes providing for federal relief. “The real criterion is were those men ‘whom we specially appointed, whose ex-offieio duty it was to ad- minister these federal statutes—were they interfered with to the extent it pee administration of the proj- Judge Wyman declared the acquit- tal motion was in effect “a challenge of the entire record.” “The question as I see it is this,” Judge Wyman told the attorneys “is there substantial evidence in this case tending to show the guilt of the de- fendants?” “The essential elements of the of- fense are: first, the purpose; second there must be an agreement, an ‘un- derstanding between the defendants to complete theif object, which must be unlawful, or through unlawful means; and was there an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy.” Rules it Immaterial Whether employes who were soli- cited were “state employes” as con- tended by Murphy in his argument for a directed verdict was “immaterial,” the judge asserted. He declared that if an employe of the state “assume or is burdened by law with administration of federal* statutes, he becomes the instrumentality through which the federal government acts in carrying out the administration of the act.” He held that if: evidence showed solicitation of highway employes charged with the duty of administe- ing federal roads aid acts “interfered with or obstructed the administra- tion,” a jury might assume from it that it would result in obstruction and in- terference with performance of a gov- Armour Creameries John E.
