The Valdez Miner of last Sunday
announced the engagement of Attorney
A. J. Dimond, formerly U. S. Commis
sioner for the Sushanna district, and
Miss Dorothy Miller, of Valdez. Miss
Miller is one of the popular ladies of
the younger society set in Valdez,
where she has resided for a number
of years. Mr. Dimond is engaged in
the practice of law, having formed a
partnership recently with Attorney T.
J. Donohoe.
In this connection it may be said
that Valdez has no monopoly in the
matter of engagements. Rumor has it
that two of Cordova’s popular young
people are soon to make announce
ment of similar import, and that when
the beautiful month of June arrives
the engagement will terminate in a
wedding ceremony.

U. S. COMMISSIONER
IS VINDICATED
Continued from Page One)
Adams' position, hut Insisted at that
time and still insisted that he was
right and Mr. Walker and Judge
Adams were wrong.
Mr. Adams then testified In his own
behalf and considered the charges In
their order. He denied the first
charge In toto, and explained Ills
method of handling offenders by
slightly Increasing the punishment for
old offenders and so forth. He denied
nny connivance with Deputy Marshal
Hrightwell for the purpose of boosting
fees. The second charge ns to slot
machines was admitted by Mr. Adams,
as far the Drug company was con
cerned, and he said he was a stock
holder therein, but that he was neither
the manager or an employee. The
matter was simply one of business for
his manager, the store being compelled
fto do the same as other stores In the
same line, and he said the matter of
the slot machines had been allowed by
custom and usage, if not by law.
Mr. Adams denied that Mr. Medley
wns a partner of his in any manner.
He denied that Mr. Medley ever ad
mitted such a chnrge in a case In the
Commissioner's court and snid that on
the contrary Mr. Medley explicitly
denied that fact at the time he with
drew his appearance in that case.
I The fourth charge as to his always
naming Mr. Medley whenever the sta
[ tute required the appointment of an
attorney was explained by Mr. Adams.
\ He said the only case where he could
appoint an attorney was in insanity
cases. There had been two or three
of them and in each case Mr. Medley
had served, and in which cases there
I was no compensation for an attorney's
j service. He had tried to get other at
torneys to serve but because there was
no pay they did not care to do so. In
,---—
such cases Mr. Medley was the most ■ t
available and so he had done the work, r
Outside of that he had appointed Mi <
Medley as guardian and administrn
tor in the Gus. Wilson matter. I
Mr. Adams explained his position ns j
president of the Alaska Times copora f
tlon. He testified that in the case t
Mr. Frazier complnined about where j
he had paid money direct to litgants, t
he had first gone to the attorney's E
office to pay him hut found him out. t
That he and then cnlled up Reldy & r
Co., on the telephone to tell them he
had the money and Harryy O'Neill had |
come up to his office and got it. He
explained that it was the first civil
case he had conducted as coramls- .
sloner and that not being an attorney (
himself, he might not have been fully |
Informed ns to what legal ethics re- .
qutred him to do in such a case, but j .
thnt he had gone to Mr. Frazier later: ,
and explained his side of the mat .
ter to the attorney. ,
As to the assault committed on Mr. (
Steel. Mr. Adams testified that for ;
the past two or three years he had . t
been subject to constant attacks in ! ,
the Daily Alaskan. That these editor t
ials had humiliated him and that they j i
were untrue, and that the combined ■
weight of these increasing indignities ;
had caused him to have a quarrel with '
Mr. Steel in which he had twisted his :
nose.
Mr. Brightwetl was caiied as a wit- j j
ness and explained how his office con-j •
ducted itself in relation with the'
United States Commissioner. He said
that there was absolutely no connl-1
vance between himself and Mr. Adams
for the purpose of Increasing fees.
On being asked by Mr. Steel if he had
not heard some one say that, Mr.
Bright well replied that he had not
although lie would like to have some
one say that to him. Mr. Brlghtwell
pointed out how municipal cases were
foisted on the government and sag- ^
gested that the city should try all
!
" -1
natters over which If hart Jurisllctlon
nrt also preferred that it care for Its
wn prisoners.
Harry O'Neill testified that in the
teidy vs. Took case, he had received
telephone call from the Commis
ioner saying that the money to set
le the case was In the office; that
fr. Adams had been looking for at
orney Frazier and could not find him,
nd that he, Mr. O'Neill had gone to
he commissioner's office and got the
loney.
Mr. Medley testified that he never
ad been and was not at this time a
artner of Mr. Adams; that he occu
Jed desk room in the same office with
Ir. Adams, and that he was there
uly at the sufferance of Mr. Adams,
fe said that he had never received
ny compensation from Mr. Adams at
ny time; that he had edited and
rork for the Alaska Times for a sal
ry for four and one half months;
hat he had never solicted or made
ollectlons in the realty and insur
nee business for Mr. Adams. He said
hat he had acted as attorney for the
lefendant in three insanity cases be
ore Mr. Adams and that he had nevei
eceived any compensation for the
same, and that he had received no
other appointments from the com
missioner's office outside of the Wil
son probate matter.
Judge Brown then called upon Dis
trict Attorney Spence and Marshal
Brenneman to tell what they knew of
Mr. Adams, judging from his reports
which they both had to pass upon.
Both the gentlemen praised the official
documents of Mr. Adams very highly,
the marshal saying in partlclar that
his reportR were way above theaverage
of ITnlted Htates Commissioners
At the conclusion of the hearing
Judge Brown said that he might as
well decide the case then an to wait
until some future time. Me reviewed
the testimony, stating that all of the
trouble practicall grew out of a little
or nothing. In the beginning it grew
out of a lit*le rivalry In the newspaper
business and possibly among attorneys
in the law business and those things
grew and became magnified. The
counrt expressed its belief in the
honesty and intergrity of Mr. Adams
and said that it could not conscienti
ously do anything else in the matter
than to dismiss the charges and they
were dismissed.
