Attorney General Knox has deliv-
ored to the president his findings in
the matter OF. the charges filed against
Arthur H. Noyes. Judge OF the Second
division of the United States district
court of Alaska. Tho charges allege
incompetency and corruption. although
the attorney general says the charge
Of dishonesty was not pressed.
After reviewing the case at length,
the attorney general concludes his re-
port as follows:
such was the trend Of this Nome
negotiation out of which sprung 80
much complaint. bitterness and public
scandal. After review 1t remains that
the actual consequences Of these pro-
ceedings in the Alaska district court
were to bring that court into disre-
spect and impair pubic confidence in
its wise and impartial administration
Of justice.
I'm view OF the foregoing, and after
the most careful consideration, I have
concluded:
First, that the appointment of re-
ceiver in the case referred to. without
notice to the defendants and the re-
fusal upon hearing to discharge the
receiver, and the consequent dlspOs-
session of the defendants of their
property. were not justified under the
facts, the pleadings and their princi-
pies Of equity.
Second, that there Is no justiflca-
ton shown for the refusal by Judge
Noyes to settle q bill of exceptions at
the instance Of the defendants, and
for the refusal to allow them an ap-
peal.
Third, that after an appeal had
been allowed by the circuit court of
appeals, and the writ of supersedas
had been served upon Judge Noyes,
the plaintiffs and the receiver, Judge
Noyes' attitude toward the writ was
one Of hostility and obstruction, which
was totally inconsistent with HIS ju-
dicial duty toward a superior court
and toward the litigants seeking
through that court reversal OF his
judicial action.
Fourth, that Judge Noyes should
forthwith be removed from ONCE"
The president will approve of these
findings and promptly dismiss Judge
.Noyes from Office.
