RENDERED COULTER
CASE. ANCHORAGE
SEWARD COUPLE FREED OF
CHARGES; WAS FIRST CASE
ON ANCHORAGE CALENDAR
(Anchorage Times)
The trial of Peter Coulter and Mrs.
Peter Coulter of Seward, charged
with violation of the prohibition law
on counts of an information, one
charging sale and the other posses
sion, came to an end in the district
court at about 11:30 this morning
and the jury was still deliberating
on the verdict when The Times went
to press this afternoon.
The introduction of evidence was
concluded early yesterday afternoon,
during the progress of which Judge
E. Coke Hill granted a motion of the
defense for the suppression of the
charge of sale in the case of Peter
Coulter, the government having fail
ed to show his connection with any
liquor transaction. A feature of the
afternoon session was the appearance
in court of Peter Start, witness for
the defense, in what appeared to be
an intoxicated condition and an at
tempt by him to give testimony from
the side lines. 'He was removed from
the court by a deputy marshal and
lodged in the federal jail. The prin
cipal witness for the government was
George Zihuel. It was on his affi
davit of sale by the Coulters that the
Coulter home in Seward was search
ed, the search revealing the presence
of a small quantity of beer and wine
and a bottle of white mule. Posses
sion of the white mule was denied by

the defendants and denial was made
of the sale of any liquor by them.
After having sworn in his affidavit
that Coulter was present when he
purchased a quantity of beer from
Mrs. Coulter, the witness admitted
j on the stand that Coulter was not
there at the time, whereupon the
charge of sale against Coulter was
dropped. The prosecution was forced
to admit that the government’s chief
witness was not a good one, but con
tended that he was at least as reli
able as the witness who appeared for
the defendants.
Most of the afternoon session yes
terday was taken up by the argu
ments, Clyde R. Ellis, assistant U.
S. attorney, opening for the govern
ment, and Attorney A. J. Dimond
