GRAND JURY EVIDENCE
I have been asked repeatedly,
here and in Ketchikan, to make
public my testimony before the
Federal Grand Jury now in session
in Ketchikan.
I believe that the public should
have all the facts, but in fairness to
Governor Gruening, chairman of
the Territorial Banking Board and
the other members of that board, I
have been reluctant to publicize
the evidence.
However, if the Governor and the
Banking Board will give their con
sent, I will be pleased to make this
material available to the public.

Into a pet has been brought into
town from Pelican by Ralph Reischl
I who had caught it at the rear of
his home. Reischl said that “Pokey."
the otter, is about three months old
uid lives up to his name. “He's into
everything all of the time,” said
Reischl.
“He’s about three months old as
far as I can judge,” continued
Reischl. “Pokey is more affectionate
than a dog and plays with ours
and any other dog he can make
friends with. He’ll leave me to play
| with a child every time. Pokey lives
j on fish.”
The otter is about a foot and a
half long with a tail almost as long
as he is. Very short legs doesn’t give
him much clearance. The dark
brown coat is as soft as down.
His grand children tried to get
Reischl to take the otter to the
local school so that other children
could see Pdkey but Reischl stated
he’s not quite used to so many
people. Dave Reischl is his $>n and
operates the mail boat Yakobi.
