The hearing of the appealed case of
the 1'nlted States versus. P.ruce Rog

the District Court during the greater
part of last week, was concluded late
Saturday, afternoon with the return of
a. verdict acquitting the defendant of
the charge of having published certain

Industrial Worker during the period’of
his employment as editor of that pub
lication last year.
The trial jury was out scarcely fif
teen minutes #cfore bringing in the*
verdict which relieves Rogers of the
stigma cast upon him by the first trial,
held in the Commissioner’s Court last
year, in which the jury found him
guilty as charged. Rogers has con
sistently contended that the articles
which formed the basis of the charge
against him were not actuated by sedi
tious Inclinations or lack of good citi
zenship and were not beyond the "fair
criticism" provisions of (he anti-sedi
tion laws.
Saturday's verdict was the culmina
tion of a strenuous legal battle lasting
from Wednesday morning until shortly
before six o’clock Saturday evening.
The government was represented by
Special Attorney Fred Harrison, and
District Attorney .J. M. Clements and
the defendant by Attorney «». F>. Coeli
ran. who also led the defense in the
first trial, in which the court appointed
the entire Nome bar to defend Rogers.
The jury is said to have taken but two
ballots on the question of Rogers'
guilt or Innocence, before pricing it

which few if any of the crew will ever

which occasionally reared upward un
der the impulse of the surging waves
and threatened the forlorn refugees
with destruction. Huge blocks were
thrust violently upward under the very
feet of the storm beaten crew and
many times only providence and agility
enabled them to escape from being

After landing the crew were given

trader Wall, who did till that was pos

by another man. started for Kast Pape
by dog '•team. The rest of the crew
started out for the same point on the

to Kast Pape was accomplished with

II >10 vessel had been bottled tip by a
stm-pi closing the entrance. It was
decided to attempt to haul the vessel

concent of the owner, Arnold Pastel,
who was encountered at Whaling, the
Belvedere survivors proceeded to the
lagoon but found that the schooner's
keel was broken in such manor as to
Imake tho vessel unseaworthy. They
then returned to Kast Pape. After

land.
Papt. Hansen has had eighteen years
'experience in northern waters and
jsa.vs ho has never witnessed anything
like tho storm sweeping over the polar
sea in which tho Belvedere was des
troyed. He says the crew behaved
splendidly and displayed tho greatest
fortitude throughout the nerve wreck^
ing experience. The journey across
'tl><- heaving ice he.descrilies as one
that is beyond conception to one who
has not experienced some of the diffi
culties and dangers of such a trip. The
loss of the Belvedere was due entirely
to the storm, he says, and no human
agency could have saved the vessel
after she was caught in tho grip of the
pack, . He saVs that as n usual thing
one can look back over events of such
character and see- whore things might
have* wnrkM out differently If another
course' had btjen followed; hut In toe
case of the Belvedere he is unable to
see where a single thing could have
been accomplished by the crew to
stave off the disaster. Capt. Hansen
was formerly mate of the old Nome
schooner P. J. Abler find engaged in
the Nome coasting trade .during the
earlier {rears of the camp. He was
also commander of the schooner Ahbie
M. Marsh, and the Reliance, both of
which-will be remembered by old tim
