ARSON CASE
ON AT VALDEZ
—
VALDEZ.—The preliminary hear
ing of Otto Kanitz on the charge of
arson in connection with the confla
gration which visited Valdez on the
morning of January 2 was begun at
10 o’clock January 15 in the district
court room before U. S. Commissioner
G. J. Love. The government was rep
resented by District Attorney W. N.
Spence, assited by Attorneys Lyons &
Itichie, the defendant was represented
by Attorneys O. P. Hubbard of Valdez
and Leon C. Booker, of Seward.
Attorneys for the defense won the !
first legal battle on the question of
combining the five charges against the !
accused in one hearing. The court j
held that this was perfectly legal, but
if the defense considered such pro
ceeding jeopardized the rights of the i
defendant he could have the charges
brought up singly, and on the insist
ence of the defense he so ordered. j
At the afternoon session of the Ka
nitz hearing January 15, Frank Hud
son was recalled for the government,
and testified that he was awakened
early in the morning of the fire and
assisted Kanitz in hauling goods
away from the post office building.
C. B. Smith was called. He testified
he was in the ■ real estate and insur
ance business last June When Kanitz
spoke to him about insurance and
later Mrs. Kanitz came to his office
and wanted to insure the post office
building and adjoining buildings for
$10,000 or $12,000 did not give her
any direct answer, later she came
down to $8,000. He told her that this
was more than the buildings were
worth; said Mrs. Kanitz insisted that
if insurance was written and buildings
burned she would get the full amount
of the policies; he did not write, as
he di<j not care to recommend the
moral risk.
Hilma Hihnala testified that she
was aroused by fire; came down with
the other ladies to view same; was a
little ahead of J;he others; at corner
of Keystone avenue and McKinley
streets a' man came in from back of
Ames house very rapidly and ran into
her; saw it was Otto Kanitz; he ap
peared very much excited.
H. H. Jones was next called for the
government. He was engaged in gen
eral brokerage and insurance busi
ness. Wrote insurance for $6,500 on
post office building and contents with
in 60 days; could not remember exact
date.
On cross examination Mrs. Kanitz
had spoken to him about insurance
last June, was not prepared to write
insurance then; was in July; talked
with her off and on until December
when policies written; value building
placed at $7,000 and contents $1,500.
Deputy Marshal Mossman was re
called. He said that after the arrest
of Kanitz he had taken possesion of
three trunks at the present Kanitz
residence and three at the bunkhouse
on Keystone wharf where they had
been stored; said rolls of bedding had
been claimed by others. Immediately
after his arrest Kanitz had stated
that he had saved nothing of his own
but that everything belonged to others
and had been left in his charge. Lat
er he changed this statement.
Mrs. Kanitz said she had been ill
last August' and expected to go to
the states; trunks had never been un
