MOB ARRESTS PREDICTED
District Attorney Says He Has Clews
to Williston Lynchers.
WILLISTON, N. D., Dec 18. State's
Attorney Burdlck. or Williams County,
who Is conducting tbe investigation
and attempting to place the respon
sibility for the lynching Tuesday morn
ing, December 1C, of Cleve Culbertson,
convicted murderer of the Dillon fam
ily at Ray, said tonight:
' "Our search for evidence as to the
identity of the members of the mob
that hanged Culbertson has necessarily
been quite general, but I believe we
have clews which may ultimately lead
to the positive identification of some
of the participants. In the outrage and
their arrest.
"The lynching may be attributed to
two causes. One waa that Culbertson
received a life sentence in the state
prison Instead of being sentenced to
hang. The other was the fear that the
prisoner might be pardoned within a
short time. This feeling was coupled
with the fact that six murderers had
obtained clemency within a day or two
of the time the Culbertson Jury re
ported its verdict."
