Young Seattle Lawyer
Named Territorial
Asst. Attorney General
Chosen from scores of appli
cants, George N. Apostol, young
attorney, “good government” cru
sader and traffic clerk from Seat
tle, has been sworn into office as
assistant attorney general for tne
territory of Alaska.
Apostol was named to the $7,
000 a year appointment over can
didates from the length of the
West Coast. Only 32 years old,
he has a spectacular record for
getting results. Fired with “good
govenment” ideals he started a
one man fight in Omak, Washing
ton, where he was supplementing
his law practice to support his
family by picking apples. (That
could be a pretty fair income for
a fast picker).
He set a high in legal work
when he won five of six appeals
to the Washington State Supreme
Court.
One established a county jail
sentence as the maximum penal
ty for larceny by check, instead
of the penitentiary sentence
which his client was serving at
the time.
When he became involved in
the “good government” fight in
Omak Apostol transferred some
£5,000 worth of pending business
to other attorneys because he
thought it was “in the best in
terests” of his clients.
For the past six months he has
been practicing in Seattle, work- i
ing nights as a traffic clerk atj
the Seattle port of embarkation
to offset costs of building the
new practice.
