WOMEN JURORS IN ALASKA
The Women’s jury law of Alaska, |
says the Cordova Times, has been
upheld by the Supreme Court ot the
United States, in a decision render
ed Monday, declining to consider
questions raised on an appeal from
the circuit court at • San Francisco.
The question was first brought be
fore Judge Reed in the First Division
in a liquor case at Ketchikan. “Hap
py” Tynan was convicted of violat
ing the Alaska bone dry laws, and
his attorneys immediately took an ap
peal to the Circuit Court, questioning j
the legality of the jury, which was
composed of men and women. The
judgment was upheld and the appeal
dismissed, former Judge Jennings ap
pearing for the defendant. Petition
for a writ of error was then filed in
the Supreme Court, but this was re
fused. So it may now be accepted
as a permanent institution in Alas
ka for women to assist the men in
the jury room to arrive at verdicts.
A number of them are serving in the
district court now holding a session
in Cordova. The question had pre
viously been raised in this division
but Judge Ritchie decided that the re
cent woman’s jury enacted by the
legislature was good law.
No one hates a small town except
the man who lives in it.
The way some men blow up their
wives one might think she is a flat
tire.

CORDOVA POSTMASTER
FOUND “NOT GUILTY”
After lasting nine days, the case
of the Government vs. Charles Schef
fler, former postmaster of Cordova,
charged with robbing the postoffice
early this year, defendant was found
not guilty. The jury was out eighteen
hours and returned their verdict only
after it was believed it would be hung.
Mr. Scheffler was accused of the
robbery of the Cordova postoffice by
government inspectors, circumstances
surrounding the case causing them to
believe it an inside job. While there
was no direct evidence of his guilt he
was indicted and brought to trial. Cor
dovans and friends of Mr. Scheffler
have strenuously denied his guilt, and
the vote of the jury is his complete
vindication. Several Seward residents
were on the jury.
Steamship Starr Arrives
Will Leave for Seattle
The steamship Starr arrived from

signed to the San Juan Fisheries at
Seattle. A list of her passengers
will be given tomorrow.

fare of halibut was unloaded. Eleven
