Barber had been brought from th
Tolovana to Fairbanks for trial by

ter the trial said that he had intends
to enter a plea of guilty and take hi
medicine, as he had been drunk at th
time of the assault and did not kno'
■what he was doing.
The defendant was represented b
Cecil H. Clegg, former assistant dif
trict attorney here, who got his clien
off on the grounds that the gun ha
been accidentally discharged.
One deciding factor in the case wa
the fact that the testimony of Chrli
topher was discredited by Clegg, wh
made him admit on the stand that th
woman he was living with was not hi
wife, although she had posed as such
Christopher also admitted that hi
character generally was bad.
Christopher and the woman he ha<
been living with as his wife were mat
ried last night in order to escape be

his grossly immoral character.
