At this place Judge Wickersham was holding his first term of court in the precinct, and dwhere he was well prepar- ed to meet this investigator. These particular and interested friends of Judge Wickersham did not loose sight of Judge Day until he was well on his way to Nome. Great efforts were made to bring Wickersham's friends and henchrnen before Judge Day, and ex- treme measures were successfully used to prevent Judge Day receiving evidence of facts detrimental to the Federal of fcials of this division.
 The result is that Judge Day reports the charges against Wickersham un- substantiated, and recommends that he be reappointed.
