TELLS THE COURT OF A MURDER
Story of Insane Man Proves to y,
E. True

BUTTE. MONT.-Joseph Cranberry. who was
tried In Judge DOMAINS court on charge of
insanity few days ago and sent to the Warm
Springs asylum mental and physical wreck.
told the court that he had committed murder
in Birmingham, Ala. several years ago.
His statements thought to be but the
rawlings of crazy man. but dispa tches from the
south confirm Granberry's tale. While driving
an ice wagon in Birmingham In 1888, Cranberry
was grossly insulted by negro named Tom
Lewis. He struck at the negro several times
with his icetongs. when other negroes came to
berry, who drew pistol and fired, killing his
first assaiant and wounding two others. He
gave bond of 1000 but this afterwar ds
forfeited and he disappeared in the west.
The indictment against Cranberry at Birrning
ham was quashed two years ago. Men who re
member the murder say that self defense coulG
have been easily established. . -.'.. =

FEDERAL, GRAND JURY
 ENTERS POLITICAL ARENA

THE REGENT action of the Federal Grand Jury at Fairbanks in endorsing Judge Wickersham for appointment as resident judge of the District court, is peculiar political movement. Nothing strange or irregular for them to have endorsed the action of the Bar associa- tion in the effort to have congress grant resident judge; but for an inn partial, disinterested Federal Grand Jury to enter the political arena and campaign for particr lar candidate, es- pecially one against whom serious char ges have been filed, is certainly very unusual proceeding. Such action might lead those not informed in political manipulations to believe that the grand jury had investigated the existing charges of graft and corruption, filed against Judge Wickersham, and found them to be untrue.
 No doubt it was intended to create such an impression when such action was taken and telegraphed outside. It seems so unreasonable for Federal grand jury to ask for the appointment Judge Wickersham without first clear ing away the serious charges which are standing against him. Judge Day did the very same thing and made matters worse for Wickersham. If that grand jury made an investigation as to the merits or@demeritc of such charges, it was 3 '.star chamber" proceeding, and the same .preconcerted mode of pro- ceedure as that adopted by ''Investiga- tor" Day. We know the facts pertain ing to the charges emanating from this precinct were not before the grand jury at Fairbanks.
 The Grand Jury did not visit Rampant which it should do if it desired to in
Alaska forum., 1905-08-19

vestigate the management of official affairs at Rampant court center, nor has any official notice been posted at Rampant that a. grand jury had been called to meet at Fairbanks. If unre- stricted access be given to the officials books of the Rampant precinct, togeth- CT with those of the Third division, and other evidence in existence, the charg- es against Judge Wickersham and oth- CT federal officials can be fully sustain ed.
 This matter now being in the hands of the Senate, and all evidence pertain ing thereto subject to the order of that tribunal, any political moves made by the accused officials, whether through grand juries or otherwise, will in no way lessen the evidence against them. If it requires more evidence to sub stantiate the charges, than is already filed with the Senate committee, let the proper official be sent to Rampant and an abundance of facts will be forthcom- ing. Political power should be taken from the district judges, and Judge Wickersham's name be dropped from the roll of honor.
Alaska forum., 1905-08-19

CT J. Lind!ey Green. Whenever an of fcial, vested with appcintive power, refuses to recognize charges of incom- potency and corruption against an ar- pointee, as does Judge Wickersham, then that official becomes incompetent to administer the appointive functions of his office, and he should be removed forthwith.
 MT. Lacey says that the District judge might object to being deprived of his political power. No doubt but that Judge Wickersham would. Much rather would he be a ''grand duke' than plain District judge. Were he permitted to retain his position he could be depended upon to oppose all legisla- tive measures tending to deprive him of emoluments derived from the power to manipulate the granting of business licenses, the exclusive handling and the disbursement of all moneys collected, and the appointing of subordinate offic- ials. The people have lost confidence in him and his usefulness is impaired.
Alaska forum., 1905-08-19
WHERE PRESENT SYSTEM
 IS ROTTENLY CORRUPT

CONGRESSMAN LACEY having with drawn his opposition, it is now an as- sured fact that the Third division will be divided, and thereby will permit of judge to remain in the Yukon district the entire year. MT. Lacey's argument that ''all the political power should be taken away from the District judges of Alaska, thereby relieving them of po- litical appointments, !" is well taken and will no doubt receive attention from Congress. The present system is bad, wherein it grants the District jndges the power to appoint the judges of the lower courts, while appeals from the lower courts must be to the District court, the judge of which is the appoin- tive power.
 If criminal or civil action is brought against the commissioner, for illegal official acts, the tribunal before which action must be brought is the District court, the judge of which appointed the commissioner. The abuse of this sys- tenn, and the shielding of the appointee by the appointive power, has been fully demonstrated in this precinct by Judge Wickersham' protection of his corrupt appointee and henchman, Commission
