Bf RULING OF THE
FEBEML COURT
i In a recent test case involving
“dead” bank accounts. Judge Cecil
!H. Clegg, federal distrct judge of
the Fourth Division, ruled that
such accounts could not be es
cheated to the Territory without
; affirmative proof of death, lack
jof heirs of the missing depositors,
according to the Juneau Empire.
I The case will be taken on appeal
| by the Territory to the circuit court
'of appeals. There are several so
| called “dead accounts”, bank de
j posits of which no trace can be
! found of their possessors, it was
stated. Every effort has been made
by banks to get in touch with them
: for many years but without success.
In the case tried at Fairbanks,
there were several thousand dol
lars involved. Government bonds
and certificates of deposit. Nothing
has been heard of the depositor
since 1928. The Territory sought to
obtain possession under the es
cheated estates statue, bring suit
against the First National Bank of
Fairbanks for that purpose. Judge
Clegg ruled against the Territory,
i holding that it must sumbit affir
mative proof of death and lack of
heirs.

GREATLY EXAGGERATED
I Like Mark Twain’s celebrated
| death, the wreck of the patrolboat
| - Widgeon, on Russian Reef, White
; water Bay, was greatly exaggerat
| ed, according to Captain M. J.
j O’Connor, assistant agent of the
i United States Bureau of Fisheries,
! in the Juneau Empire. The boat
[jarrived at Juneau under her own
• power and except for a bent propel
ler shaft and a broken blade on her
wheel, showed no marks from the
accident.
