FOR PUBLIC
Wickersham's Testimony
Will be Printed
Washington, Dec. 28? Indications
now are that the complete records in
the case of Judge Wickerehan's failure
of confirmation at the last session of
the senate are to be given to the public.
These records are said to Include much
matter that has Teen kept secret,
District Attorney Hoyt, of Nome, has
filed his report on Wickersham with
the president and this too it slated to
be:nme a public document. It is said
all the records will be given out on
January 18.
The failure of the president to nom
inate Wickersham for appointment has
led to many conjectures as to the
ultimate outcome nf the tight taat has
been made against him by Senators
Nelson, McCumber and Penrose.
When the judge's name was not pre
sented to the senate with other pres
idential nominations there was consid
erable belief that the judge would not j
sit on the Alaskan bench again. Now, 1
however, there is a growing impression
that there may be a switch in the Alas
kan judges.
As Gunnison and Wickersham tave
been directed to temporarily exchange
places it is tnought the change mar be
made permanent. In that case the
opposition to Wickersham in Fairbanks
would be removed and one obstacle to
his appointment sidetracked.
