AS PLAIN AS THE PAPER ON THE WALL
It is known the Alaska delegate opposed the Lowel
Creek project; it is known Senator Howell, who woulc
have liked to cut the railroad appropriation off betweer
Seward and Anchorage, is a friend of the delegate; it is
known he is against the court removal and it is knowr
that contrary to the belief of a few, he had absolutely
nothing to do with the Alaska Railroad boys winning
their increase in wage scale.
The Lowell Creek project is practically assured; the
amendment offered before the Senate by Howell wa*
turned down flat; the court house removal is dormant;
Treadway, another friend of the delegate, was cut of!
in his efforts to block Alaskan appropriations. The har
bor improvements plan in the Cold Bay area were re
ported on unfavorably yesterday, etc. and etc.
And Judge Reed, in the First Division, is still on th(
job regardless of the harpooning the delegate tried t(
slip into him.
Yet there are some who cannot or will not recog
nize the truth.
A sigh of relief is felt over the outcome of the Hick
man insanity trial for even though he had confessed t(
have brutally murdered little Marion Parker there waj
always the doubt that he would escape paying the pen
alty.
Possibly the Federal Reserve Board could do some
thing to keep the Mississippi River from making runs or
its banks.
We see the spectacle of a Representative from India
na get up on his hing legs in defense of Alaska againsi
the charges of the delegate’s friend, Treadway. Shouk
not it have been the delegate’s place to defend the Terri
tory he is paid to represent?
It is reported there is a limited number of sales o
malt in town. Now what can be the reason?
Now they have coined a new name for members o
the dry force; “head hunters” is it. Not so bad, what!
Just another month or so and spring will be here.

Under the law either is liable to the
death penalty by hanging or life im
prisonment may be imposed. Attor
ney Walsh said he will give notice ap
peal from the verdict on Saturday.
Hickman continued to be indifferent
and unmoved even to laughing and
j"wise cracking” about his probable
| hanging when visited by newspaper
men a half hour after the verdict was
reached yesterday. ‘‘The die is cast
and the state wins by a neck,” he said.
His -working reaction to the verdict
was “I can stand up and take fny medi
cine like a man,” he said but without
apparent boasting.
BASE FOR APPEAL
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 10, (IP)—The
attorneys for Hickman announced
tfc°ir appeal to the State Supreme
Court will be based principally on
Judge Trabucco’s charge to the jury.
Attorney Walsh said the Judge fail
ed to instruct the jurors that they
might, if they wished, to recommend
leniency for the prisoner.
MAY LAST SIX MONTHS
Brief's for the appeal will contain
further allegations that the recently
amended state laws, governing sanity
hearings, are unconstitutional and
that the trial Judge erved in failing
<o instruct the jury on several points.
Prominent members of the bar ex
pressed the opinion six months might
elapse before the case is finally set
tled,
Hickman was awakened at 7 a. m.
today after a sound sleep. Special
guards have been placed over him to
prevent any possible chances of him
committing suicide.
