that all evidence possible to be reach
ed could be given. Commissioner
Frame y?rterday afternoon dismiss
ed Uk charge of manslaughter that
had been preferred against l>r. Hall
in connection with the death of the
late Mrs. Howard Curtis. Commis
sioner h*rauie concluded that there
*mu not sufficient evidence on which
to bind Dr Hall over to the grand

tending to show that, as Dr. Hall j
i ottUruded, such treatment had been :
taken by Mrs. Curtis, before her ar

sary the operation which he per
formed. All of the doctors ? eon
uected with the case testified at
the preliminary hearing aud the tes
timony of all was to the effect that
it was apparent to them, either from
oral or ocular evidence, that Mrs
Curtis had taken, or suffered to
bo. taken steps to prevent pregnancy
before she came to Fairbanks. Dr.
Hall maintained that he had opera
ted as he had done simply because
the circumstances made his action
necessary. If he had not done so.
he bfllved there would have been
danger of a fatal termination. As
it was. the fatal termination result
ed from the shock of the slight op
eration aud the administration, of
the anaesthetic, something entirely
unexpected.? f^irbauks Times.

SCULPS OF TWO GOOD H
U. S. Attorney Boyce And Mar
shal Sutherland "Fired" On
Trumped Up Charges
(By Alaska Nawc Bureau.)
WASHINGTON, D. C. April 25? J.
J. Boyce, U. S. district attorney of
the First division of Alaska, and D.
A. Sutherland, U. S. marshal of th<'
First division, were summarily remov
ed from office today by orders of
Attorney General Wickers ham.
John Rustgard, the Noma attorney,
now at Juneau, has been appointed
successor to Boyce and Deputy Mar
shal Herbert Ffeulkner has been ap
pointed successor to Sutherland.
Charges were filed against Boyce
accusing him of securing the indict
ment of three citizens of Juneau on
alleged flimsy evidence and of refus- 1
ing to dismiss the cases. Marshal |
Sutherland was Involved in the same
charges.
Charge* are also pending against
U. S. Attorney Grigsby oT Nome.
The charges which resulted in the
dismissal of Boyce and Sutherland un ;
doubtedly were in connection with
the indictment of C. M. Summers. C. '
j F> Cheek and Henry Shattuck, clerk
of the district court, who were In
dicted for interfering with an officer
t: the time when A. R. O'Brien, ed
itor of the Juneau Record, assaulted
Bd Russell, editor of the Juneau Dis
patch, last summer.
The cases came up at Ketchikan.
O'Brien was tried, found guilty, and
fined $200. Summers was tried and
acquitted and the cases against
Cheek and Shattuck were dismissed.
The Hoggatt faction have been aeek
ing Boyce's scalp for some time,
but Sutherland, who was appointed
through Delegate Wkakersham, only
took office last July and is consider
ed a highly capable officer. He has
made a good record in office and is
well liked through the territory. He
was a "Wickersham man," however,
and although he scrupulously avoided
playing politics, this was sufficient
cause for the trumped up charges
which caused his dismissal.
Deputy Faulkner has held office
for several years under; Marshal
Shoup.
