SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 14.—The le
gality of the Alaska woman’s jury law
was thrashed out in the court of ap
peals here this week in a case taken
from Ketchikan, in which Chas. H.
Tynan was convicted of violating the
Volstead Act, and was convicted by
a jury which had three women on it.
Tynan’s counsel appealed the case
contending the conviction was illegal
as neither the nineteenth amendment
to the constitution nor the organic
act of the territory authorize women
to sit on juries.
Arthur G. Shoup, of Juneau is rep
resenting the Territory. A decision
will be rendered later.
