The Gummer Trial Sees Testimony From Mrs Lawrence In Hotel Prescott
In Fargo during June 1921 Mrs Anna E Lawrence recens the Prescott hotel events on the night of the tragedy. She identifies Marie Wick and Arnold Rasmussen at the desk and notes Wick’s 1 dollar room payment and 6 30am call changes. Gummer is accused in a brutal murder scene with Wick found dead in room 30, bed tied, face bound with bloody rags. Police, undertaker, and witnesses describe room 30, related rooms, blood stains, hair samples, photographs, and the sequence of checks by desk staff and authorities.
