lar, but they are not worth the Department OF
Justices time to fool with"
Soon after that Delegate Wickersham de-
nounced the state of affairs in Alaska He
told how the Morgan Guggenheim crowd had
bought and bulldozed those who had property
that they wanted. How they would buy off
hands that were working on proposed rail
road route that would compete with the pro
posed Morgan Guggenheim route; how in one
or two instances they had come across per-
sons who could not be bought or bulldozed,
and they had been murdered. How the Nor
gan-Guggenheim crowd had had their I'M
scrupulous scoundrels appointed United
States Judge, Prosecuting Attorney and Mar
shall; how they owned and controlled the
courts of Alaska, and, when one Of their
henchmen was brought up for trial. justice
was outraged by mock trial that freed the
accused Morgan Guggenheim criminals.
So outrageous were the open doings of this
syndicate that one could hardly believe that
such would be tolerated even in darkest Rus
STA, but the light is about to be turned on and
it will be proved that it did happen on our
own territory and under the regime of Wick
ersham as the head of our Department Of Jus
tice.
Then came the late decision declaring the
Cunningham claims void because of fraud
and at the same time the knowledge that the
water front to Controller bay had been seized
by those favorable to the syndicate.
All of this attracted the public's attention
and led to the introduction by Delegate Wick
ersham of resolution calling Oh Attorney
General Wickersham to furnish Congress with
all documents, affdavlts and testimony in his
possession relating to an affidavit submitted
to him more than year ago, and sworn to
by H. J. Douglas, former auditor of the
Alaska syndicate.
According to Delegate Wickersfam, more

torney-General Wickersham showing how the
government had been swindled out of $780,
600 through per- Jury; also an affidavit relating
to a criminal act committed by Capt D. II.
Jarvis, of the Alaska syndicate, and formerly
prominent In the government revenue cutter
service.
Delegate Wickersham also furnished the
Attorney General with copies of letter from
an attorney for the syndicate to Jarvis, adj
uniting the expenditure of money to control
government witnesses in the Hazey murder
trial In 1908 wherein an agent Of the Alaska
syndicate was accused of numbering laborers
employed by rival interests during the con-
struction of railroad in Alaska also photo
graphic COPY of an expense account for ST.
1890 of NJ 3. Morrison employed by the
syndicate to entertain government witnesses
and jurynoen.
All of this evidence Delegate Wickersham
submitted to Attorney General Wiczersham
in April, 1910, but he could never cot the At
torney- General to prosecute.
All the time the statute of limitations was
running, and there was no prosecution, but
on June 13, 1911, Attorney General Wicker
sham notified Delegate Wickersham that the
statute of limitations had expired.
In other words Delegate Wickersham gave
to the Attorney General the evidence prov

was committing robbery and murder in
Alaska, and Attorney General Wiczersham
holding the evidence in his possession, DELHI
