With Malicious Motives, Disgruntled
Litigant Circulates Slanders about
our Delegate at Washington.
(By United Press.)
WASHINGTON. L>. C.. March 12- (
Strong efforts to prevent the seating
of James Wlckersham as Alaska's
delegate to congress are being made ,
by James K Snevely of Salt Lake.
I'tah. who is petitioning the members
of the house of representatives to de- ,
nv Wlckersham a seat.
Snevely alleges that Wlckersham
was convicted of rape in Tacoma in
1889 and declares that it is illegal f<>'
u felon to be seated in congress. The
sensational charges by Snevely lia
created a great s<nsation.
Wickersharu refuses to make an
statements in connection with the
case.
It Is understood, however, that the
conviction against Wickersham was
secured by perjured testimony ami
instigated by political enemies oi !''?
at Tacoma. The case was appealed
and the conviction was reversed by
the higher courts.
Sncvcley's motives are purely mali
cious, as he lost a homestead case
through a ruling of Wickershani when
the latter was federal judge in Alaska
in 190.").
Snoveley's charges will have no
weight with congress ami Wicker
