Alaskan jurist winsout with Attorney General Moody,
| who decides Hoyt's report to be unjust to him==Con=
ceded that President Roosevelt will reappoint judge
and that he will continue in office
'(Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan) j
; Washington, Feb. 7? Attorney Gen-|
I . I
; erai Moody has completed his review
! of the report of District Attorney C. H.
j Hoyt and he has adviced President j
! Roosevelt that ho believes the lloyt re
port is unjust, to Judge Wickersham.
The case was closed by the attorney
genera,! after a -jonference with three]
new arrivals from Fairbank, who agreed
with iir iso of the Fairbanks people here ?
.
that the rharges against the jurist were
not based upon a solid foundation.
There now appears absolutely to be
no question but that Jud^e Wicker
sham will be reappointed and continue
in office until the end of the adminis
tration of President Roosevelt unless
the senile should change front and re- 1
'ject the appointment. This is not re
garded as likely at all.
It is believed th?t President Roose
velt will hold the nomination until the
end of the congressional session before
he tali send it to the senate. That he
will send it In is almost certain.
