7-YEAR !N~E
The trial of the case of the State
of Mortanr versus Jack Love on the
charge of murder was commenced in
the district cogrt before Judge John
Hurly last Monday. In th this case
Mr. Love was accused of killing one
Bredeson, at Westby, on Mar4i 20,
1918.
The evidence submitted in the case
on behalf of the State was to the
effect that Jack Love was a bar
tender in a Westhy saloon and that
Bredeson came into the saloon on the
20th day of March and that an en
counter wa4 had between the parties
during which Love hit Bredeson on
the head with a piece of rubber hose
with metal ends, commonly called a
"sap". The defense contended that
while the encounted took place in
the saloon on that date the "sap"
in question did not have metal ends
and was merely a short piece of
rubber hose of very innocent appear
ance, with which the said Love mere
ly tapped Bredeson on the head to
persuade him to leave the saloon.
The defense further claimed that
Mr. Bredeson fell to the ground after
leaving the saloon and struck his
head upon a piece of ice, thereby
accidentally causing his death. One
of the witnesses for the State, how
ever, claimed that there was no ice
there when Bredeson fell and that he
saw parties carry the ice and place
it at Bredeson's head after he fell.
The case = was submitted to the
jury this morning. Mr. Love was
defended by Atty. C. H. Bentley of
Westby and H. H. Lewis of this city.
County Attorney Oasnud mad Deputy
Greer were assisted in the preasse
tion by Mr. _U. L Sfebir, a fai
ous yiminat attorney of Minot, N.
D. The opening argument in the
case for the State was made by the
county attorney and the defense
thereupon waived its argument so
that Mr. Sinciair did not have any
opportunity to argue the ease to the
jury. A large audience was present
to hear the argument of Mr. Sin
clair and were quite disappbinted
and surprised by the waiver of the
defense.
5:00 P. M. The jury in the case
of the State of Montana versus Jack
Love returned a verdict of Guilty of
manslaughter and lxed the punish
ment at imprisonment in the state
prien for a period of seven years.
The trial of the case of the State
of Montana versus Charles Evans is
now taking place in the district
court. Mr. Evans is charged with
grand larceny. Babcock and Ellery
are defending him.
