Henry F. Halger, whose name af

I United States and that his name
r rightfully does not belong on the list
of aliens. His signature, he says,
- was attached to the register under
s protest and hopes soon to be able
, to produce substantial evidence of
J his citizenship.
Halger explains that he was ad
mitted to citizenship at San Fran
cisco in 1906, but later lost his
papers. And now he finds that the
records were destroyed during the
San Francisco fire and it is im
possible for him to get verification
of his citizenship from that source.
He intends, however, to get a state
ment from the office where he took
■ out his first papers, and then to com
plete his citizenship a second time,
before Judge Bunnell.
Inasmuch as he had nothing to
show that he is a citizen, he was ad
i-ised to sign the register at the post
office and did so under protest.

10 8E GUIL1Y
Defense Waives Appeal This Morn
ing and Commissioner Tho-ws
the Book at Him.
Ed Lund, who was arrested sev-1
eral days ago, by Deputy Marshal
Ed New, on the charge of making
seditious and derogative utterances
against the government of the United
States and the president, was tried 1
before a jury in the commissioner’s
court last evening and found guilty i
as charged. The verdict was unani
mous, the jury being out only three
minutes.
The charge was laid by Lars Nel
son, who in company with Lund and ■
several others, has been contracting
for the Alaskan Engineering com
mission at a point above 35-mile. !
The statement of the complaining
witness being that “on the 25th day
of December, 1917. Lund made re- !
marks in the presence of several
others to the effect that he was a
German and at war with all American
sympathizers.” He also stated that
he would kill them all, meaning the
men with him in the cabin, and scat
ter their brains on the logs. He
continued that he wished there would
be a revolution in the United States |
as he would go to Washington, and
shoot the president and then get all
the senators.” The utterances made
at at that time arose from a re
mark made by one of the men that
the mericans were sending men to
France and getting the best of the
Germans.
Alfred S. Lian, a witness for the
prosecution, stated that Lund also
made the remark that he would like i
to get into the United States army,
and if he did he would turn around
and shoot the officers.
Charles Johnson, also for the pros
ecution, testified to the effect that
Lund made the remarks charged.
and generally corroborated the testi
mony of the complaining witness. |
The jury was then excused from
the court room and J. Hampton j
Miles, representing the defense, made
a motion to the court that the case
be dismissed and that a charge of
insanity be put in, the jury to com
pose a lunacy board and try the man j
for his sanity. This motion was
objected to by Prosecutor John C. I
Murphy, and the objection was sus- i
tained, the court overruling the mo-!
tion.
The jury then returned and the de
fense called Thomas Burns as a
character witness. The testimony i
of Burns was principally as to the i
character of Lund, but evolved in-'
to an endeavor on the part of the
defense, to show the jury that Lund
had made remarks to Burns about
inventions for destroying armies,
etc., that would not have been made
by a sane man.
George Kosow was then called by
the defense as another character wit
ness, but his evidence was of little
material value, he knowing nothing
about the case.
Following Kosow, Frank Spira,
proprietor of the Nenana Lodging i
house, was called and testified to,
the character of Lund as he had
known him. Mr. Spira said that he j
bore a good character as far as he
knew. j
The rebuttal testimony being next
in order, Prosecutor J. C. Murphy :
had Edward Smith take the stand,
to rebut the evidence of the char
acter witnesses introduced to the i
jury by the defense. Smith testi
fied that during, last May he was:
on a contract with Lund and sev-1
eral others, and Lund made remarks j
to the effect that the president of j
the United states was a d— fool for .
bringing the States into the war, and
that he hoped they would get a good
licking. He also stated that Lund
said the president should be shot1,
for doing it.
The point was then made by the
defense as to whether or not the
talk of a man could be construed
in any way to bear on his character.
The court ruled that a man’s talk
was bearing on his character, and
then the rebuttal was accepted.
The defense then rested and the
prosecution then made an address
to the jury, charging them to bring
in a fair and honest verdict and not
be carried away by any personal
feeling against anyone who might
make derogatory remarks against
the United States. Mr. Murphy fur
ther stated that the verdict of the
jury would have great effect in
stamping out further sedition in the
territory of Alaska and urged them
to consider the testimony carefully,
as all the main points of the charge
were corroborated by the witnesses,
not a single witness being offered
by the defense in the matter of the
charge.
J. Hampton Miles, for the defense,
then took the floor and made a stir
ring appeal to the jury. He stated
that he wanted justice done, and
that he did not believe that the man
was in his right mind. He wished
to have a verdict brought in to the
effect that the man should be ex
amined by a lunacy board.
The courtroom was then cleared
and the jury returned an unanimous
ballot of ‘‘Guilty as charged.” Upon
motion made by the defense, the
sentence was stayed until ten 'clock
this morning, in order that the at
torney might have time to confer with
the accused and make notice of ap
peal if Lund so wished.
Lund was not on the stand in his
own behalf, but confined himself to
interruptions every once in a while,
charging the witnesses with being
liars, and saying that he did not
know what they were talking about,
that they must have read that stuff
in a magazine.
J. Hampton Miles, for the defense,
appeared this morning at ten o’clock
and waived notice of appeal. Com
missioner McDonald then set the hour
for sentence at two o’clock this j
afternoon.
Mr. Miles made an appeal for len
iency on the grounds that the com- j
plaining witnesses wer, in two in
stances, citizens of foreign coun
tries, but the judge stated that he 1
had no hesitancy in imposing the full
penalty, which is one year in the j
federal jail and a fine of one thous-;
and dollars. Lund is now in the!
custody of the marshal.
