CASE IS 01
Court convened this morning at 1C
I o’clock in M oo<=e hall, Judge Leopold
David presiding. Attorney Kay. as
sisted by Murphy and Rigner, appear
ed for the defense, with District Aitor
, ney Munlcy and Assistant Waller rdp
' resenting tht territory. The word had
; gone out and the crowd of spectators
j was on hand; nor were they dissp
I pointed except that the jurlge adjourn
I efl court until 2 o’clock this afternoon
to give Mara’ial Frank Hoffman ample
tine to select a just, ami fair jury.
Th» start was good and is a forerun
ner of what will follow. Attorney
Ray asked for a change of venue on
the ground that the people of Anchor
age were too well versed in the differ
ent cases and that the subject was the
common subject of all. Further that
these same people undoubtedly had
made up their minds and would enter
the jury box with set convictions. He
asked that tl e court allow the cases
pending to be tried in Seward. There
may be something in his argument,
which was well put. but the judge de
cided otherwise, and the cases will be
tried in Anchorage. He also brought
up the question of an assistant being
appointed in these minor cases, saying
the the action was unusual. District
Attorney Mui.ley. in his plea against
the change of venue answered ia kind.
He also explained why Mr. Waller hud
been retained to assist in the prose
cution.
Upon the decision in regard to the
change of venue, the defense, after due
deliberation, i sked for a jury trial.
The case canu up this afternoon again
at 2 o’clock bet up to the time of go
ing to press the jury had not been em
panelled.
