Officer Says Langseth Told
Him He Tried to Maim
Victim.
"I didn't shoot to kill. I shot to
maim." was the declaration of Owen
Langaeth, scab foreman of the
Smythe Printing coinpan>. accord-
ing to the testimony of Policeman
Itoscoa Harvllle, Friday morning at
the preliminary hearing of Langseth
before Justice of the Peace W. P.
Hawkins. Langseth is an ex-mtniftter
and a pillar of the church, according
to advertisements of the open shop
printers. He is charged with assault
with intent to kill Floyd Kirby, union
printer, on Aug. 5, 1921.
The preliminary consumed the en-
tire morning and was adjourned until
Friday aftornoon after three state
witnesses had testified.
Kirby was the first witness for the
state. He walked with a cane as a
result of the wound in his foot in-
flicted when I^angseth shot him.
Kirby declared that he saw I^ing-
seth some distance ahead of him on
the day of the shooting, peering
from behind some vines. As Kirby
approached Langseth pulled down
his hat. removed his glasses and
came to within twenty feet of Kirby.
He commanded Kirby to halt and
then fired two shots, according to
Kirby's testimony.
That Langseth did not go into the
bouse for the gun was the testimony
ol Kirby and J. B. Armstrong, an
eye witness, both of whom declared
that I-ingseth jerked the gun from
his coat pocket.
The state will attempt to find by
what • authority Langseth carried n
gun.
John Embry, attorney for I«ing-
seth, attempted to show in cross ex-
amination that the bullet which
pierced Kirby'a foot struck him on
a rebound from the sidewalk.

LONDON, Aug. 26.—Lloyd George,
replying to the Sinn Fein refusal to
accept the British peace terms, de-
clared he was profoundly disap-
pointed that Ireland failed to recog-
nize the government had gone to
the limit in its offer.
The premier said he considered I
the British proposals completely ful-
filled the wish of the Irish people
for government with consent of the >
governed, which he said should be .
the broad guiding principle of th«
settlement.
Lloyd George's reply was forward-
ed after the British cabinet, meet-'
ing at Downing street, had thor- ,
oughly gone over the Sinn Fein re- j
fusal.
He pointed out that no British i
government could ever accept the j
Sinn Fein agreement that relations I
between the British empire and Ire-
land were comparable with those of i
Holland and Belgium with Germany. I
The government, he said, will ills-!
cuss no settlement which Involves
Ireland's refusal to accept a free
and equal partnership for Ireland
and Britain, within the empire under
one sovereign.
He insisted it was essential that
some definite and immediate prog- !
less be made toward a basis of set- '
j tlement. Further negotiations, he j
declared, can not be prolonged by a j
mere exchange of notes.

GIRDERS, CHARGE
NEW YORK, Aug. 26.—Girders
of the ZR-2 sfetnpped when the
dirigible first was inflated and
were never properly replaced,
Frank M. Gorey, former chief
machinist's mate, IJ. S. N., and
one of the original crew of the
airship, declared in a sworn
copyrighted statement published
in the New York Daily News to-
day.
Gorey jflleged that twelve gird-
ers out of 25 broke. This was at
Bedford while the ship was un-
der construction in 1919. The
broken parts were merely
spliced, he said.
"We were told and cautioned
often to be quiet, and let lots of
things go by," he said in the
statement.
"Going to tb£ movies or any
stores where we would speak to
the people in Bedford, they would
say to us. 'The Yanks will never
get the ship home.'
"Workmen would tell us right
to our faces that we would never
take her home. The people did
not want them to sell us the ship
for the simple reason that they
said we would build them our-
selves and 'bump' England."
