NOTED EDITOR CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE ioned, and released. Liggett was a bitter and outspok en enemy of Gov. Floyd B. Olson, head of the Farmer-Labor party that rules Minnesota. He also was an enemy of the local political organization and frequently charged that it bad strong connections with the underworid. He had attacked the underworld. He bad attacked scores of underworld individuals. And. going back over a long journalistic career, police found he had made many enemies through magazine articles that purported to expose the liquor traffic in many cities during prohibition. Liggett was the second crusading editor to die by assassination in Minneapolis with ten months. The slaying of Howard Guilford, who. like Liggett, fought the Farm-er-Labor party, never has been solved. Mrs. Liggett, recovered from shock, was helping police actively today. She said her husband planned to distribute copies of his paper containing specific charges against Gov. Olson to members of the legislature today. The paper had carried the charges in heavy block type in every issue for eight weeks. On Monday, she said, a man whom Liggett had called the head of a bootlegging syndicate telephoned her husband and said he was going to sue for SIOO,OOO. Lig I gefl, she said, invited him to sue,i saying he had specific evidence to I prove his charge. The man then j said, she told police, that "there j are other ways of handling this. Liggett had published and edited i the Midwest American two years. I In the three previous years, tie! published newspapers in Red Wing and Rochester. Prior to that, he wrote expose articles for nationally circulated magazines. One set- ' ien of articles, exposing alleged cor-, rupt alliances between politics and I liquor, appeared in the magazine; Plain Talk and brought him into' national notice. He was 19 years' old and had served on the staffs of New York and middle western newspapers. Detectives questioned Bletnen fold but kept their own counsel. 1 In October Liggett was set. upon and cruelly beaten by unknown men. He charged that Biuincnfold and Abe (Brownie) Bronstein were among his attackers. Ho had attacked both in bis newspapers as bootleggers. Blcnieni'eld hud offered to make it worth his while to desist, he charged. When he refused, he said, he was beaten. Last night Liggett, Ills wife und ; their daughter. Marda, wont to th' grocery. Returning, a car was; parked iiwr the Liggett garage . Liggett got out and two men lean- i ed from th" car and began shoot | lug. Liggett dropped, groceries falling around him. and the assassin's car sped past the Liggett nrn chine. Mrs. Liggett, said she saw two men. When police arrived, she was hysterically crying: Kid Cann- Kid Cann" and the child was bent over Hie body of Iter father, crying, “don't die, dandy.

• Don't die." Liggett, a native of Minnesota and once a close friend and sup- ' porter of Gov. Olson, had been the center of many storms during the last two years. He was arrested in June and charged with kidnapling two Ifi-year-old girls. Frank Ellis, a radical labor leader, was 'codefendant. Liggett charged he ' * was the victim of a political frame ■ up. In July he was indicted on a statutory charge. He obtained a • change of venue to St. Paul and Was acquitted. o | MOVE STARTED 11 1 CONTINUED FTIOM PAGE ONE 1 hope on a possibility that activi- ■ ties of Governor Hoffman may presage clemency by the court oi I pardons, a nine-man board having ' the power of pardon, parole, and ’ commutation of sentences enjoyed in most states by governors. Hoffman talked animatedly with Rosecrans before the capitol for II several minutes yesterday after- . noon. He said he had no plans . for procedure of the pardons ! court, but pointed out that it • could act at any time. Hoffman also has conferred i recently with Ellis Parker, an tin usually successful county deteci five, and Dr. Erastus Hudson. ' New York physician who testified • for the defense as a fingerprint expert during the 'Flemington trial. Normal official routine made it I probable that Hauptmann will be I rene'iitenced Monday or Tuesday I to die in approximately six weeks. _o MINERS KILLED CONTINUED HWM PACE ONE I spread by the survivors, who went 'immediately to the surface. Soon I most of the residents of Coalhurst, [a tiny mining hamlet near here, ! hail gathered at the shaft head. I Many miners and residents went I down into the mine to dig the dead j from the debris choked passages. | Wild rumors tortured the. saddened group of women and chil Idrcti at the shaft opening. Some wept openly, but most were stoical in the face of tragedy, hoping their inion by some miracle had been |spared. One rumor said the exi plosion was due to saboteurs but i was discounted. ■ Mines in Alberta usually are free of gas, but rt was believed that a spark accidentally set off by one oi the men could have ignited coal dust. Another theory •was that, the explosion was iTTused by spontaneous cumbitstion following a Small cave.-in. Mine officials said the* had tin explosion occurred several weeks ago the deaths probably would have been 10(1 or more. The mine was in operation on a curtailed schedule, having laid off several hundred miners recently. .. .{j ■ ■ I - MAY IMPROVE CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE • naval militia building. | Newcastle: $92,927 for a guard armory.
