rhomas Stewart, Court
Administrator, Is Guest
Speaker at Ice Bloc Meet
Thomas Stewart, Court Admis
trator for the State of Alaska, was
the guest speaker at the Ice Bloc
meeting last week and Alice Schee,
reporter for the Juneau Empire,
was a special guest.
Mr. Stewart talked on Magi
strate Courts in Northwest Alaska
and stated that the main problem
of the system was finding per
sonnel adequately qualified to fill
the various openings for the dis
trict and deputy magistrates.
Mr. Stewart stated that placing
a District Magistrate in Wain
wright was being considered, as
the Nome Magistrate now handled
all that area, and it seemed to be
too much too handle. An educa
tional program was being set up for
more training in judicial court pro
cedures.
The latest Supreme court ruling
is that every indigent was entitled
to a transcript of the trial, so the
system will probably have to hire
more clerical help; also an indigent
is entitled to a counsel on appeal
even if they have no funds, so
this will cost the state more money.
Sen. John Coghill recommended
that magistrates should use more
down to earth (layman) language
in telling a citizen his rights.
Mr. Stewart stated that the magi
strate in Nome has to travel a lot
and thought another magistrate
should be stationed in Nome just
to travel.
Sen. Pearse Walsh stated that
he thought Wainwright should be
commended in their action of be- j
coming a fourth class city and
that there is someone living in
the community who would qualify j
for the position of magistrate.
Sen. Lester Bronson presided at
the meeting which was attended
by Sens. Neal Foster, Eben Hopson,
John Coghill, David Harrison and
Pearse Walsh.
IN SUPERIOR COURT
In the case of the State vs. i
' Vernon Kugzruk, the jury found '
Kugzruk not , guilty of attempted

A jury was drawn this morning
for the case of the State vs.
Dick Curtis, charged with assault
with a dangerous weapon. Fred
Crane is attorney for the defend
ant who is from Kotzebue.
Clyde Nershak. charged with as
sault with a dangerous weapon,
pleaded guilty and was sentenced

Magistrate's Court
Steven Attatayuk was given a
sentence of 60 days on a drunk
charge. Robert Joe on the same
charge was fined $35.
Charlie Mills was scheduled to |
leave today for Fairbanks where
he has been called due to the
critical condition of his wife. Dur
ing his absence the barber shop
will be closed.
