in inp IS INDICTED
Fairbanks Ntws, April 11? Among a number of indictments returned by the
grand jury yesterday against alleged malefactors, was one in which Tom A. Mar
quam, editor of the daily Times, and aspiring political boss of the Third division
of the territory, is charged with the crime of adultery.
In passing on the cose of Marquam it is understood that the grand jury lookrd
upon the crime as a particularly flagrant OmO in view of tho fact that, as editor
of the daily Times, be is exercising some little influence In the moulding of pub
lio opinion throughout the division, and the crime Is of such open and notoMous
knowledge among the people of the cl'y as to call for the severest cordemnation
and punishment if the allegations m id e before the grand jury are found to be
true when the case comes to trial. The charges made were certainly of such a
nature as to unfit him for the direction of as powerful an agent for moral good
as is a daily paper.
A further reason for the issuance of tUa indictment was the fact that the wo
man Marquam is said to bo living with in a state of fornication, is already mar
ried, with offspring, and that her husband Is a respected resident of the city of
Fairbanks.
Marquam was arraigned last night and pleaded not guilty, securing his liberty
on bonds of $1,500, which were immediately furnished.
