H. Nordnes Is
Author of The
Article
When it 'was learned here last
■nrcntli tOiat a Ketchikan man was the
author of an article published in the
Washington "Posten” on December
20, 1018, relating to the treatment
meted cut by local drafted men to sev
eral of the Norwegians who had turn
ed in their papers, immediate steps
were taken by the local Assistant Dis
trict Attorney’s office to ftssertain
his identity.
Gunnar Lund, editor cf the “Pusten”
upcn advice from the Seattle District
Attorney’s office, imediataly dispatch
ed to Ketchikan the ordinal article
written in Norwegian signed by its
author, t!ie Ketchikan correspondent,
who it develops, is H. Nordnes, of
Charcoal Point.
During the recent term of court, sev
eral investigations were made by Dis
trict Attorney Smiser in regard to
tiie s'o-called "rough treatment" given
the Norwegians, which he severely
condemned. But in investigating the
charges against these said to have
been re sponsible, as well as against
Mr. Nordnes, who voiced his opinions
about the, matter in the Norwegian
paper, nothing tangible could be
found by the District Attoney, which
■would convict them.
In case of Mr. Nordness, his criti
cism's and attacks against the people,
wore net directed at Ketchlkaners n
iene but at the nation as a whole, in
defense of the Norwegians as a class
.and not a few individuals, according
to District Attorney Smiicr’s views,
and ttheefore, he was acting within
his rights and could not be prosecuted
Besides, ho dec’ared. Mr. Nordness,
I s promised to publish another state
ir.ent in the tame Norwegian paper,
notifying his former article, a copy of
v Itiioh he is to submit to Mr. Sml9er
