Attorney General Stone
Orders Case Against
Flanagen Dismissed
Some time ago D. W. Flanagan, a
prohibition and revenue officer was
arrested at Fairbanks for alleged as
sault on the person of Peter Ken
dall, an alleged resident of the city.
Following which Mr. Flanagan was
duly arrested and later released on
his own recognizance to appear be
fore the courts this spring. Now
comes an order from Attorney Gener
al Stone, directing District Attor
ney Hurley to dismiss the case with
oifl trial, as the officer had appar
ently violated no law.
The facts in the case were that
Mr. Flanagan wrent to the residence
or place of business of Mr. Kendall,
together with two local officers, and
found the oldtimer making and sell
ing beer, in violation of several stat
utes, among wheih were the revenue
laws. A customer or two was found
in the place at the time, who denied
not that they were there for the
purpose of buying beer; and the
beer was seized in open sight, on a
table in the room. Mr. Kendall de
nied the officers entrance to his
castle, claiming he was an American
citizen and that they had no right to
enter his premises without a search
warrant. Mr. Flanagan, it is claim
ed, explained the law to Kendall,
wrhereupon the latter applied a term
dear to Mr. Roosevelt, claiming the
prohibition officer was a—liar. At
the time of the conversation, Ken
dall stood across the doorway barring
entrance. Whereupon the prohibition
officer shoved him to one side and
entered the premises, seizing the li
quor, and several choice bits of evi
dence belonging to local citizens,
among w'hich was a valise bearing the
name of a prominent citizen, with
several bottles bearing traces of li
quor, and apparently waiting to be
filled.
The aged pioneer claimed that Mr.
Flanagan assaulted him and Thos.
Marquam, mayor of the town and an
attorney, swore out a warrant for Mr.
Flanagan. The latter was arrested
and it is claimed, taken before the
city magistrate, who being somewhat
shaky on the law applying to open
season on dry officers, released him
on his promise to appear later. The
alleged bootlegger was tried and ac
quitted by a jury, the eloquent mayor
showing various scars of conflict sus
tained in the near battle over near
beer.
Now comes the honorable Mr.
Stone, attorney general for the Unit
ed States, and orders the district at
torney to dismiss the case, without
trial, it appearing that the case is
not yet over, and that various and
| sundry officials of the Fourth divi
j sion may be required to explain their
j ferociousness when attacking a dry
j squad man. Under the law it might
I be pointed out that like Heinz
j pickles, there are 57 varieties of
i charges to be brought against a boot
! legger, and that his release under
; one charge does not quash the others.
To sum up it appears that the
j "‘East is East and West is West, and
I never the twain shall meet,” and that
! a revenue officer may enter where
deputy marshals and common dry
squad men fear to tread. Therefore,
if you are caught selling the imita
tion beverage called beer surrender
gracefully, say good morning judge,
and take the necessary trimming
without a chaser.
In the meantime the public is anx
iously awaiting the inevitable hour
when the identity of the men owning
one first-class suitcase is revealed.
