Of Alaska.
Judge Noyes. after charges of conspfr-
acy and Encouragement Of his Office had
been lodged against him with the depart
ment here, was yried. together with his
alleged accomplices. in the California
courts and fined 81 600.
Fine Has Never Been Paid.
According to a statement made last
night by one OF he men interested in
the prosecution OF the case against him.
this fine has never been paid. Judge
Moves is stiH drawing the salary and al
lowances OF his office, amounting in one
item alone. to 5000 per aDnum, as are
ga n OF the other men implicated.
Cue Of the other men, Il is positively
stated has never been dismissed from the
service Of the Government and continues
practically TO hold the position he did
before the charges were preferred against
Judge NOyes. Attorney General Knox has
taken no steps in the matter. although
repeated efforts have been made to have
him do so.
He promised a delegation here from
San Francisco and the Coast that the
case would be acted upon by January 25.
That da,e has now rassed. and the
