Lyons. now Judge of this division, and John Hellenthal. for the purpose of fighting the indictment But after going over all the ground during the twenyfour hours which the court al lowed between the time of arraign- ment and the time set to plead, these defendants saw the futility of attemp' ing to beat the cases, and pleaded guilty with the result above stated.
 There has never been any gambling parapberuaIia seized anywhere in AL aska. for the simple and entirely suf- ticieut reason that there IS no l1" under which such paraphernaHa could be seized
 It was upon this evidence that Sen ator Beveridge afterwards stated on the floor of the United States Senate that he was passing his knowledge of conditions in Alaska,-acQuired, as he said. from a disinterested witness.
