“GUU/TY AS HBUi"—18 HOT FRBK.
U. 6. District Attorney, Prod Harrison, takes exception to a local
■son aitfdle printed In last Saturday** Nugget, In which the Como lesion
sr"S Coart reaorda were summarised and published. In thin nova article
fit van atated that Cue Viera was arrested fire different time* and M. B.
BMbe and Wm. Patch each three times before the United States perfected
Us ease against the defendants.
How any flair rotnd«d person could be so thin-skinned os to take
swept ion to the article Is beyond comprehension. We did not say that
the District Attorney was running true to form, nor that he was exhibiting
hh usual inefficiency in methods of law and procedure, nor anything else
that would reflect on him or his office. In this issue, we will, however,
give some of the facts in the case, which are as follows
Gus Viera was arrested once for the illegal manufacture of irutoxi
eaitinr; alcoholic liquor, in violation of the Alaska Hone I>ry Law and four 1
times for larceny from a warehouse of the Yuhn Mfg. Co In issuing the j
complaint on the larceny charges the District Attorney hacked and filled i
four times before he perfected his charges. Ommlssions. errors and in
complete descriptions bristled the complaints, until finally after expense |
and delay, the cases were brought to trial. M. E. Beebe plead guilty
and was sentenced to DO days in the Federal Jail. Wm. Patch ai«o plead
guilty and received a sentence of 40 days in the Federal Jail.
The trial of Gus Viera went over for a week and Tuesday Feb 20
the defendant appeared before Commissioner ('has. Thornton, when on
MOTION OF DISTRICT ATTORNEY HARRISON the ease? against VieTa
WERE DISMISSED.
The Marshal’s office had the evidence that liquor was :hjbk illeg
ally made. Articles purporting to have been stolen from the Yuba Mfg
Co. warehouse were recovered. The man was "GUILTY AS HELL " You
wk why was he turned loose? Because the- District Attorney, so we are
advised. THOUGHT there was a huge conspiracy on foot to loot the Yuba
Company and promised the defendant “IMMUNITY” if he would turn
States evidence, which Viera did. What evidence did the defendant offeT ,
that would justify the U. S. government dismissing both the Itpuor and '
larceny cases? Results show that M. E. Beebe and Wm. Patch, a native, ,
plead guilty to larceny of articles valued (in the complaint) of about $35. i
In both cases the evidence was complete without any substantiation on the j
part of Viera or any one else. It seems to one who can use erven a small j
portion of brains that t/he representative of the Department of Justice |
palled another bonehead, and paid a stiff price for what?
Subsequent disclosures reveal that the evidence Viera was able ■
4o supply the government was far from being substantial. Both Beebe i
and Patch .plead guilty because the eidence against them was conclusive,
regardless of, any attitude assumed or statements made by Viera. The
District Attorney evidently received a “gold brick” for his bargain.
The Nugget believes in constructive criticism. At no time has this
paper taken a stand on a public matter with other than this principle in
■find. Many times we have been viciously opposed, but nevertheless we
remain firm in the principle of the “greatest good for the greates:
■amber.” In concluding, at this time, we wish It thoroughly understood
Chat the Nugget Is under no obligations to either officials or law breakers
What the Second Division needs, and needs badly, Is a District
Attorney, who when once be begins an action, will have so boflt »p his
sane that Ms department is not mads a butt of ridicule.
