CASE AGAINST HOTELMAN
DISMISSED BY COMMISSIONER
Maurice Morino. well known old
timer and proprietor of the Mt~ Mc
kinley Park Hotel, at Riley Creek,
appeared before U. S. Commissioner
C. D. Leckie yesterday morning to
answer to a specific charge of hav
ing intoxicating beverage in his
possession on the 12th day of Feb
ruary last. The charge was the re
sult of the seizure of several bottles
of the beverage commonly known as
Home Brew, under a search war-'
rant, by Deputy U. S. Marsha]
James Hagan. The hoteiman also
was charged with having intoxicat
ing liquor in his possession for the
purpose of disposing of same, by
sale or otherwise. The first charge
was laid under :he Wickersham bone
dry law and the second under the
provisions of the Volstead act.
Assistant District Attorney E. B.
Collins conducted the prosecution,
while Attorney T. A. Marquam, of
Fairbanks, appeared for the defend
ant. The proceedings lasted about
half an hour, at the end of which
t:me both charges were dismissed, i
the first at the request of the pro
secution and over the protest of i
the defendant's attorney, and the
second as the result of the failure
of the prosecution to introduce evi
dence considered competent by the
commissioner.
It appeared from the evidence’
produced that several bottles of 1
“home brew" were seized by Deputy
Hagan on February 12, and five days
later a portion of the contents of
one of the bottles was tested at the
Bureau of Mines station at Fair
banks for the purpose of determin
ing its alcoholic content.
Several bottles of the seized bev
erage were produced in evidence
but the prosecution failed to intro
duce competent evidence as to the
nature and extent of its alcoholic
properties.
tauruiium was crowed .o
capacity by the friends of the ac
cused, and the decision of the com-,
micsioner was a popular one, both
among those present and the genera]
i public of Nenana.
Mr. Morino, who is a sourdough
of the vintage of 1900, has a host
of friends in the Nenana and Fair
banks districts, as well as in other
sections of the Territory where he
has followed the mining game, and
he has a firmly established reputa
tion for integrity and uprightness in
, all his dealings.
