Court Of Appeals
Reverses District
Court Judgement
SAN FRANCISCO, t/Pi — The
Ninth U. S. Circuit Court of Ap- j
peals Monday reversed an Alas- J
kan district court judgment under
which George Harrison Meeks (
was sentenced to life imprison- j
ment for a Juneau slaying. It held
that the Alaskan court had been
guilty of “harmful misconduct cal
culated to prejudice the defend
ant’s standing before the jury.”
The case involved the slaying of
Clarence J. Campbell, whose body
was found in a ditch near Juneau.
His throat had been cut and he
had been robbed of some $2,000.
| Meeks was indicted, tried, convict
ed and sentenced for the murder.
i The only direct witness pro
duced by the government was Kel
j so B. Hartness, who earlier had
1 been convicted of forgery and
sentenced to two years at McNeil
Island federal penitentiary. He
was out on parole at the time of
the Meeks trial.
At the trial. Meeks' attorney at
I tempted to introduce Hartness’
record but the court would not
permit him.
The court of appeals held this
to be in error and ruled that “evi
dence of parole is clearly permis
sable” and “the court’s refusal to
| admit it in evidence was substan
1 tial error requiring a reversal of
' judgment.’’
When Meeks’ attorney persisted
I in his efforts, the court found him
in contempt, fined him $50 and
I ordered him removed from the
case until the line was paid and
the contempt purged.
The circuit court hold that the

MISSING PERSON
Anyone having information con
cerning the following missing per
son is asked to communicate with
the Governor’s Office in Juneau:
Lars Erik Brannholm—about 44
years of age, native of Sweden.
Last known address in Fairbanks
in March. 1946, where he was al
leged to be working as a miner.
“arbitrary stopping” of the wit-1
ness’ answer was “harmful mis-'
conduct calculated to prejudice
the defendant’s standing . . . and
that “still more harmful was the
court’s action before the jury in
adjudging his attorney in con
tempt.” The reversal held that
Alaskan law allows introduction
of a record of conviction of crime
“as a direct impeachment of a
witness’ veracity,”
The opinon was written by Jus
tice William Denman with Jus
tices Albert Lee Stephens and
William Orr concurring.
JUMPER HITCH DELAYED
IN LEAVING SEATTLE
The MS JUMPER HITCH, of
the Alaska Steamship Company,
may sail from Seattle for the Ber
ing Sea and Nome on or about the
20th, Saturday, according to word
received yesterday by Tom Keat
ing, Nome agent for the company.
Keating states that the delay is
due primarily to the installation
of heating equipment. The vessel
was scheduled out of Seattle last
Monday but loading could not
be started until the equipment had
been installed.
Other Nome harbor movements
show an army freighter, the Na
tive Service motorship North Star,
and a Foss tug and oil barge, de
liverilng gasoline to Nome for the
Standard Oil Company.
The weather cleared sufficient
ly for unloading of cargoes
and for taking the King Isalnd
Eskimos and their supplies aboard
the North Star for their voyage
home to the Island.
