Witnesses Describe Fatal Altercation in Minne Murder Case
In a trial at the circuit court the defense sought to suppress testimony by witnesses including Demet and Verpieste. Verpieste, a 24 year old Belgian, testified he and Minne were attacked outside DeSmet’s saloon after Kaple, drunk, entered, then four assailants beat Minne while he fought back with a knife. The court allowed the picket evidence and overruled motions to elect counts or declare defendants not guilty.
