CRIMINAL JURISDICTION
QUESTIONED
Point Raised in Judge Hanford's Court Invol
ves Right !of Alaskan Courts 10 Try Crimin
al Cases? Under Advisement
(Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan)
Seattle, Nov. 22? A question which
Judge Hanford his taken under advise
ment involves the legality of a trial of
a criminal esse by an Alaskan court.
The point has been raised in connection
with the trial of Capt Newth, the
Arctic whaler, who was indicted at
Nome for abducting an Eskimo girl.
The court there held that he had no
jurisdiction and the case was trans
ferred to Seattle for trial in Judge Han
ford's court. The attorneys for the
deftnse have raised the point that the
case should have been tried in Alaska.
They say, now, if Judge Hanford sus
tains the Alaskan court's position no
criminal case can be tried in Alaska
until congress enacts special legislation
granting that power.
