LIQUOR CONTROL BILL
INTRODUCED IN HOUSE
ALASKA LEGISLATURE
(By The Associated Press)
JUNEAU, Feb. 6 — The first liquor control bill to ap
pear in the legislature was introduced in the House by Rep
resentative McCutcheon of the Third Division providing for
the licensing of dispensaries where liquor could be sold by
the glass.
The measure divides the dispensaries into three classes,
Wholesalers, retailers and manufacturers. The first would
be required to pay a license of fifteen hundred dollars a year
and sell only in unbroken packages. Manufacturers in
clude breweries and distilleries and the license was set at
five hundred dollars a year.
Retailers were divided into three classes, general club,
roadhouses and general dispensary, and would be where
liquor could be held for consumption on the premises by the
bottle or glass, and the license fee would be one thousand
dollars a year.
Clubs, and only recognized clubs, license fee of two hun-j
dred and fifty dollars a year. Roadhouses eight miles out
side of incorporated towns, license fee one hundred dollars
per annum.
The measure provides that no dispensary license can
be issued to any place, the principal purpose of which is
amusement or social entertainment; no dancing or entertain
ment is allowed in general dispensaries. This provision does
not apply to clubs or dispensaries outside of incorporated!
towns.
Licenses according to the bill will be handled by the
District court and the money turned into the Treasurer of
Alaska, who refunds fifty percent of the revenue to incor
porated towns.
An applicant for a license must be twenty-five years of
age, a citizen, (native born or naturalized), must be a resi
dent of the division for at least a year, and no license can be
issued to a person who has been found guilty of a felony, ac
cording to the new bill.
The senate in a brief session yesterday passed two mea
sures regarding powers, both of a minor character.

DEFENSE TO PLACE
BLAME OF RANSOM
MONEY ON FISCH
• 1 ■ 1 v >
|By The Associated Press)
FLEMINGTON, Feb. 6 — The defense promised to put
the fat packages of ransom money into the hands cf Fisch,
thereby exonerating Hauptmann from all guilt in the payoff
transaction.
Hauptmann came into court this morning listlessly with
his guards. He seemed more abstract than usual, even when
he held his usual morning conversation with his wife.
Among the prosecution staff the opinion was expressed
that the defense might rest their case today, and in that event
the case might be in the jury’s hands before the end of the
week.
Later, interest in the defense centered around the testi
mony of Benjamin Heir, who yesterday identified the man he
saw jumping over the Straymonds Cemetery wall on the
night of the ransom payment, as Isadore Fisch.
_
FLEMINGTON, Feb. G — The defense offered testimony
this morning through Sam Streppone, a Bronx radio repair
man, that in the early part of 1933, Fisch carried a shoebox,
such as the ransom money box was described earlier.
The defense contends that he gave this box to Haupt
mann. On cross-examination he acknowledged that he had
been in an institution for depressive physchosis. He said
that Fisch brought him a radio to be repaired and that he
carried the shoebox also. Streppone said that Fisch left
I the shoebox in his store for about six hours and then return
ed for it.
Lieut. Paul Sjostrom, investigator for the state police,
was called next and told of the photograph of the kidnap
ladder which showed approximately twenty-five fingerprints
and that none of them compared with Hauptmann’s.
