T • evVe* (••• -howed that the de
fendants were the first on the
ground to actually start construction
of tlie r t*ap.
At the vondrsioii »»f the testimony
counsel for the defendants moved
for an instructed verdict on the
ground that the floating trap within
#00 yards of which defendant drove
their trap was not such a fixed fish
• in£ appl’ancc as was contemplated
by the ah >ve statute, and also on the
g round that defendants were shown
to have been the first to start con
structor of their trap and that they
should he held to have a reasonable
time within which to complete their
‘structure. On the second ground, the
court tuied that it was immaterial
under the statute, but on the first
ground ruled that it was simply a
question for the jury whether or no4
n floating fish trap was such as was
covered nr i contemplated hy the
statute above set forth. A. H. Ziog
!<*r, attorney for defendants, took
the position that in as much as the
• above law was passed in l90f>, before
. floating traps wore in operation in
Alaska, congress did not intend to
I classify floating traps with fixed
J driven traps, and that therefore, the
' defendants were not guilty. The jury
i after being instructed by the court
1 that it was for them to decide wheth
; or or not a floating fish trap was a
fixed fishing appliance within the
i meaning of the law practically held
! that it was not and found a verdict
• of not guilty.
This is the first case in Alaska
where a floating fish trap has been
given a definite status by our courts.
